Crews stay together. When a challenge ends, the first person to tap "Run it back" starts the rematch — everyone else sees "Rematch is live" and joins that same challenge instead of splitting into separate ones. Fixed: the end-of-challenge recap no longer reappears after signing out and back in.

Your handicap is now measured, not guessed. - Your multiplier comes from your real activity. Instead of setting your starting handicap from a question during signup, One Step now reads your recent Apple Health history — steps, active minutes, and heart data — and measures it the moment you connect. You see the number that will actually score you, right from the start. - Fairer from day one. Your first competition used to run on an estimate. Now it runs on your real fitness, so the leaderboard is level from your very first challenge. - Clearer calibration. Tap the banner in your first week to see exactly what's being measured and when your multiplier is confirmed. - A fix for how activity averages are calculated, so newer phones and new wearables get an accurate starting multiplier instead of an inflated one. Every day you show up, the next version of you gets a little harder to beat. Keep going.

Streaks are fairer, your crew feels more alive, and getting friends in takes one tap. New in this version: - Streaks that count your effort, not your hardware. Keep a streak by closing your Move ring OR logging a real workout — so it works whether you're on an Apple Watch, a Fitbit, or just your phone. Tap your streak on the home screen to see exactly how it works. - Competing with friends is front and center. Starting a challenge with people you know is now the first thing you see, and joining one takes you straight to the leaderboard. - Invite by link. Send a friend a link and they land in your challenge with the code already filled in — no typing, no hunting. - See when your crew shows up. Get a heads-up when someone joins your challenge or cheers you on with a reaction. - Every challenge gets an ending. When one wraps up you'll see a recap — final standings, who took it, and a one-tap "run it back." - Know what your handicap is doing. Tap the calibration banner in your first week to see what's being measured and when your multiplier unlocks. - Smoother syncing, a handful of fixes, and refinements throughout. Every day you show up, the next version of you gets a little harder to beat. Keep going.

Compete with people, not just numbers. New in this version: - See when your crew shows up. Get a heads-up when someone joins your challenge, and when a friend cheers you on with a reaction — no more missing the moment. - Every challenge gets an ending. When a challenge wraps up, you'll see a recap — final standings, who took it, and a one-tap "run it back" to start the next round. - A few fixes and refinements under the hood to keep everything running smoothly. Every day you show up, the next version of you gets a little harder to beat. Keep going.

Your Shadow races just got smarter, and your fitness data just opened up. New in this version: - Guided missions to get you started. A simple path through your first week — one goal at a time, so you always know your next move. - Your fitness data, unlocked. See your real VO2 max and resting heart rate right on your profile, with a look at your trends over time. - A longer free trial — now 14 days to find your rhythm. - Smarter reminders that show up when they actually help. - Sharing a challenge with friends is easier — tap a link and you're in. - A smoother sign-up, more reliable syncing, and a handful of fixes so your progress always saves. Every day you show up, the next version of you gets a little harder to beat. Keep going.

Your Shadow races just got a lot more personal. When you finish a week against your Shadow — your own past self — the recap now tells you exactly how it went: a blowout win, a squeaker, a hard-fought loss. And when you win, you'll see how much stronger next week's Shadow just became. Because you did. Mid-week, your home screen now shows where you stand against your Shadow in real time — not just today's target, but whether you're ahead or behind for the week. Something to chase, or a lead to protect. Plus a fix for streak points so your streak always reflects the work you've actually put in. Every day you show up, the next version of you gets a little harder to beat. Keep going.

Getting started is faster, and scoring just got fairer. - Signing up is quicker — fewer questions, straight to your first challenge. - Workout scoring is now more accurate. We use your real heart-rate range instead of a rough estimate, so your zones reflect your actual effort — and no single day can run away with the leaderboard. - Better support for non-Apple Watch trackers. If your steps aren't showing up, the app now tells you exactly how to connect Fitbit, Garmin, Whoop, or Oura to Apple Health. - Various fixes and polish. Thanks for being here — more coming soon.

Meet your Shadow — a new way to compete when it's just you. Your Shadow is built from your own last four weeks: your typical steps, your typical workouts, your typical pace. Race it for seven days and try to beat the you that came before. Win, and your Shadow gets stronger — so the bar rises every time you rise to it. - Pick your opponent: race a friend, one of our bots, or your own Shadow - See how each week stacks up on your Shadow trend - A recap when your week ends, and gentle daily nudges to keep you moving Plus the usual round of fixes and polish. Thanks for being here.

No friends in the app yet? You can still compete. - Race a bot. Three solo opponents — Brian, Doug, and Amanda — each with a different pace and a one-week challenge. Pick the one that matches you and go. - Morning check-ins. Get a daily nudge on how your opponent is doing, so you know what it'll take to win. - Switch it up. Finish a race — or leave one — and jump straight to the next opponent. - Cleaner scoring. Fixed a leaderboard issue in close finishes, and tidied up the points breakdown so every line reflects the race you're actually in. The handicap still levels every matchup, so anyone can compete with anyone.

Three opponents, not one Starting a solo challenge now opens a picker. Brian walks every day and logs every walk but never works up a real sweat. Doug puts in real workouts most days and takes real rest days, so his streak keeps breaking. Amanda shows up every single day and her streak never breaks. Each one shows roughly what they score in a week, so you can pick the fight you want. Nothing is locked — you don't have to beat Brian first. You also choose whether the week starts today or tomorrow, and every opponent is clearly labeled a bot with a week that's set before you take a step. Nobody is watching your pace. Morning notifications Say yes when the app asks, and you'll get your opponent's score each morning at nine — "Brian scored 180 today. Can you beat it?" — plus one when the week ends. Leaving a solo race Picked the wrong opponent, or want a different fight? You can now leave a solo challenge and choose again. Challenges with friends still can't be left, so nobody's competition gets abandoned partway through. Fixes Finished challenges now show the same standings on everyone's phone. Previously your own score came from your device while everyone else's came from the server, so two people in the same challenge could each see themselves in first place. A related scoring bug that quietly added a streak bonus for the day a streak broke is also fixed. The Apple Health screen was rebuilt, and "No streak yet" now reads "No streak," since the old wording claimed you'd never had one even the morning after losing a four-day streak.

Race Brian — new solo challenges No friends on the app yet? Start a solo challenge and race Brian, an openly-labeled bot opponent. He walks a seven-day week you can beat by walking. You choose whether the week starts today or tomorrow, and each morning you'll see what he scored and whether you can beat it. Cardio Fitness (One Step Pro) A new screen built around your VO2 max: where you stand against age- and sex-matched research norms, how your cardio fitness is trending, and how your weekly high-intensity minutes compare to what the research recommends. Clearer, more honest numbers throughout Your Home card now shows your real rank in a challenge instead of always showing #1, and its points match the challenge screen. Teammates' point breakdowns add up correctly. Triple Crown and streak targets are stated as real numbers — 500 active calories, 30 exercise minutes, 12 stand hours — the same bar for everyone. Your calibration screen scores VO2 max and resting heart rate against the same standards the handicap engine uses. Streaks and check-ins Check-in now uses select-then-confirm so a mistap can't cost you points, and you can edit today's answer. Streaks survive reinstalls and app restarts more reliably, and the streak reminder now tells you what actually qualifies a day. Rest days no longer imply protection they don't provide — the monthly freeze does that. Privacy, said plainly Settings → How One Step Works now describes exactly what stays on your phone, what syncs to your account, and what people in your challenges can see. The full policy at onestepcollective.com/privacy says the same thing. Also in this update Heart-rate zone data is more accurate, with better handling of spikes. Signing out clears everything, including cached health data. Getting interrupted during sign-up no longer makes you start over. Plus a range of smaller fixes.

Fixes and improvements to daily check-ins and streaks. Nutrition check-in: tapping an option on the final question now highlights your choice, and you confirm before it saves. This prevents a fast tap from recording an answer you did not intend. Edit your check-in: you can now change today's check-in after you have logged it. Streaks: your streak now survives reinstalling the app or switching devices. Streak freezes correctly bridge a missed day, and a day's final activity is now saved reliably when you close the app.

One Step just got more social — and your handicap got easier to understand. - Reactions — send a fist bump or a flame to anyone's daily effort right on the challenge feed. Cheer your crew on. - Streak protection — if the evening's slipping away and you haven't qualified yet, One Step taps you on the shoulder before midnight. - Run it back — finished challenges now have a rematch button. Same crew, new round, one tap. - A clearer Calibration screen — see your current handicap, your next recalibration, and where you're headed, all in one glance. Tap "How it's calculated" for the full breakdown. - Your handicap now recalibrates from a fresh 30-day read of your real metrics — steps, resting heart rate, active minutes, and VO2 max scored against norms for your age. Stay consistent and it holds. Get fitter and it tightens. Fair, like golf. - Works with any wearable that syncs to Apple Health — Apple Watch, Garmin, Whoop, Oura, Fitbit, and more.

Smarter handicaps. Your handicap now calibrates to who you actually are — age, VO2 max, resting heart rate, steps, and active minutes — and settles at a fair value. Stay consistent and it holds. Get fitter and it tightens. Take a break and it eases up right away. - VO2 max is scored against norms for your age and sex — a fit 70-year-old scores as fit. - Handicap changes are gradual and predictable, never sudden. - Challenge participant lists now update reliably when someone joins. - Challenge feeds now show everyone's nutrition check-ins. - More accurate activity data: steps, exercise minutes, calories, and heart-rate zones. - Works with any wearable that syncs to Apple Health — Apple Watch, Garmin, Whoop, Oura, Fitbit, and more.

What's new in 1.0.7: - One Step now works with ANY fitness wearable that syncs to Apple Health — Garmin, Whoop, Oura, Fitbit, and more — not just Apple Watch. Wording updated all over the app to match. - New: when you create a challenge you can turn the Triple Crown bonus on or off. Triple Crown is an Apple Watch–only +100, so turning it off keeps a challenge fair when not everyone has one. - Calibration improvements. What to try: 1. Create a challenge with "Triple Crown scoring" ON, and a second one with it OFF. Earn your Triple Crown (close all three rings) and check the +100 shows up in the ON challenge but NOT the OFF one. 2. Make sure your daily score and the leaderboard look right. 3. If you use a non-Apple wearable, confirm your workouts, steps, and heart rate show up. 4. Anything that looks off, broken, or confusing — tell me.

New in this version: - Sign in with a 6-digit code sent to your email — faster and more reliable than before. - Introducing One Step Pro: unlock Teams, Workout Zone Breakdown, multiple simultaneous challenges, expanded Health Metrics, and the Calibration Dashboard. Includes a 7-day free trial. Core features remain free. - Your calibration progress now resumes correctly after signing out. - Reliability and performance improvements throughout.

This is a big update with improvements across sign-in, scoring, and reliability: - Faster, smoother sign-in — signing back in restores your account instantly without setting up your profile again. - More accurate workout scoring based on your heart-rate zones. - Fairer competition — your handicap now stays locked between calibrations. - Streak freezes are synced so your monthly freeze stays consistent. - More reliable leaderboards and offline behavior. - Numerous stability, accuracy, and display improvements throughout.

Bug fixes and stability improvements: - Signing back in no longer resets your handicap or restarts calibration. Your existing handicap and recalibration schedule are now restored from your account. - Scores and check-ins now correctly attribute to the right day when the app is open across midnight.
