Harmless taunting between friends has been scientifically proven to motivate people to become more active. Ok maybe not, but that's the big idea behind Steps — weaving a fitness thread into a snappy, colourful design.

Steps is the simplest ever weekly step competition for your iPhone and Apple Watch. No logins. No analytics. No bullshit. Starting and joining a game is the easiest thing in the world. Just join via a code or send a code to your friends. Each game starts from Monday 12AM to Sunday 5PM in your local time. The single app screen displays the tallied steps of participants up to that point of the week You can read our thoughts on Steps' design here: http://blog.enabled.com.au/opini... Made in Adelaide with 💜 at Enabled Solutions https://enabled.com.au

It's a great and simple idea! For quite a while, I have been thinking about running a simple health challenge among my colleagues. I downloaded the app, and immediately started spreading the link among teammates and friends :)

@preslavrachev Thank you! I'm glad you like it. It started for exactly the same reasons with us. We just wanted something dead simple (and non-invasive privacy wise) to use in our office — something better than tracking steps on a whiteboard / Slack channel we started with.

Super cool! You guys reeeally need @branchmetrics for those sharing links though 😉

@branchmetrics @alexdbauer hah we actually considered this and debated it internally. I think we came to the conclusion that it (must?) do some sort of device fingerprinting in order to know that an App Store download link related to a new app install It would be so cool to be able to pass data from the App Store install to a newly installed app, and I know Branch achieves that, but I wasn't totally clear on how it was doing that and what we would be contributing of our users' data by incorporating the SDK

@branchmetrics @twolivesleft great point. In case it helps, user privacy is suuper important at Branch — we use a few different matching techniques (of which fingerprinting using 'non-sticky' device data such as IP address and OS version is a last resort, because it's probabilistic and less accurate), but all of them are completely anonymous and privacy-safe. As evidence, if you take the top 200 non-game apps, almost half of them use the Branch platform (including in very privacy-conscious industries like finance and health). Feel free to shoot me a DM if you'd like any further info 👍.
