Some weeks, it's hard to get out the door.

You know a walk helps you feel better. On your own, it's easy to stay in, and one week runs into the next.

steps.org gives every walk a reason.

Walk the dog. Take the trail. Go the long way home.

How carbon removal works

Every Monday, see what your week did.

One short email: how far you went and what it gave. Add an accountability partner, and they get one too. Week by week, it adds up on your page.

Optional

Someone in your corner.

If you like, add an accountability partner, anyone you choose: a spouse, a friend, your mom or dad. Once they agree, they get your weekly report each Monday: how each goal went, what it gave and your streak. Your reasons and your email stay yours.

How a partner works

  • Just their email

    No account for them. We email them a code, and they're your partner once they give it to you.

  • Stop any time

    You can change or remove them in Settings, and every email they get has a link that stops it.

Good questions

A real person reads every message: [email protected] or +1 (855) 875-7721

Every question
Do I need a smartwatch?
No. Your phone counts steps with Google Health. A Fitbit or Pixel Watch works too. Apple Health is coming soon.
What does it cost?
You choose what your goal gives: $1, $2.50 or $5. You pay only for the weeks you hit it, once a month, plus a tip if you add one. A week you miss costs nothing.
Who sees my numbers?
You, on Progress, and your accountability partner, by email each Monday, once you add one. Your page shows them to everyone else only once you switch them on. Your reasons and your email always stay private.
How do I stop?
Stop giving, in Settings. It ends at once, and the goals you've hit are billed that day. Start again whenever you like.
Is it tax-deductible?
Not for individuals. You pay steps.org, and steps.org does the giving, so what you give isn't a donation of your own.
Should I ask my doctor?
Yes, before you change how much you move. Nothing on steps.org is medical advice.
