A game that challenges you to move more.

Pick your weekly activity minutes. Miss a week and your monthly price goes up $5; hit one and it comes down $2.50. Keep it at $0. That's the game.

Works with any watch, bike computer or phone that syncs to Strava. Your first week is a warm-up.

30% of what you pay, after VAT and card fees, goes to carbon removal. The rest runs steps.org.

  1. Pick your minutes for the week

    From 60 to 300 minutes of cardio a week: runs, rides, walks, swims, anything Strava records. The default is 90.

  2. Connect Strava

    steps.org reads the activities your watch, bike computer or phone already sends to Strava. Nothing to type in, nothing to upload.

  3. Keep it at $0

    Miss a week and your monthly price goes up $5. Each week you hit takes $2.50 off, back down to $0.

Where the money goes

When you hit your weeks

$0 a month

Keep hitting your minutes and your price stays at $0.

When you pay

30% to carbon removal

30% of what you pay, after VAT and card fees, goes to carbon removal through Stripe Climate. The rest runs steps.org.

Some of the carbon already up there has to come back down. Every metric ton is checked before it's delivered.

Only real activity counts

Your activity minutes are the moving time from your Strava activities, any sport, added up over the week. An activity counts when all three are true.

  • Recorded by a device: a watch, bike computer or phone
  • With heart rate or a GPS track
  • Started during the week, Monday 12:00 a.m. to Sunday 11:59 p.m.

Activities typed in by hand don't count.

Why your price goes up when you miss

Your first week is a warm-up.

Start any day. Counting starts the Monday after, at $0.
