Bara — Step Challenges
Turn your daily steps into a friendly race.
Bara is a social step challenge app built for the people you actually walk with. Pick a race length, invite your friends, and let your steps do the running.
HOW IT WORKS
• Create races lasting 3, 5, 7, or 14 days
• Invite friends and set the number of runners
• Live leaderboards update automatically from Apple Health step data
• Join public races or climb the seasonal Ranked ladder
POWER-UPS CHANGE EVERYTHING
Earn power-ups and use them strategically against rivals:
• Freeze another runner’s steps
• Reverse recent progress
• Steal steps from the runner ahead
• Drop hidden traps on the trail
• Hide the leaderboard from another player temporarily
OPTIONAL BUY-INS
Add coin buy-ins to races for higher stakes.
• 10 to 200 coins per runner
• Winner takes all or split rewards across the Top 3
• Or keep races completely free and casual
EARN AND CUSTOMIZE
Earn coins by walking, racing, maintaining streaks, and completing daily goals.
Spend them on:
• Hats
• Sunglasses
• Shoes
• Capybara cosmetics
• Mystery boxes with new power-ups
DESIGNED TO BE FUN, NOT STRESSFUL
Walk at your own pace. Race friends casually or compete globally in Ranked mode while exploring a cozy illustrated hiking world with your customizable capybara companion.

What’s New in 1.3.6

• Store and inventory revamp. Cosmetics, re-buyable powerups with item counts, and the new Imposter item are now available.
• New powerups and PvP attacks. Freeze or steal from your friends, with new blocked and reflected attack reveal modals.
• Race scheduling. Schedule races to start at a set date and time, set no limit on participants, and enjoy private-race fixes.
• Fresh first-run tutorial. The tutorial now teaches Bara as it works today.
• More updates. New capybara outfits, daily rewards on your profile, a global 2x step-event banner, plus bug fixes and performance improvements.
