Stepboard Groups Stepboard is no longer just the global leaderboard — you can now create your own private Stepboards with friends, family, or coworkers. Give your group a name, then invite others by sharing a getsteps.app/join link from the group menu or invite code card.

Manage members, rename groups you own, and leave or delete them whenever you want. Apple Sign In only prompts when it's needed. Rank by Distance Prefer distance over step count?
