How it works

Up and racing in about a minute

One person hosts. Everyone else taps a link. Your phone or watch does the counting.

  1. Creating a challenge in Jolt Club: pick steps, active minutes, distance, workouts, gym sessions, gym days, calories or points

    Pick what counts

    Steps, distance, workouts, gym days and more. Run it for 7, 14 or 30 days, or any length from 3 to 365.

  2. Jolt Club invite screen with a 6-letter join code and a share link

    Send one link

    Friends join with a link or a 6-letter code, on iPhone or Android. It’s invite-only, so it’s just your crew.

  3. Jolt Club activity screen showing today's steps synced automatically from Apple Health

    Move. It counts itself.

    Activity syncs from Apple Health or Health Connect, and the leaderboard updates live. No check-ins, no photos needed.

Why it’s different

Built so nobody loses on a technicality

Forgotten check-ins, strangers, ads and money ruin group challenges. We left them out.

Your day counts, even if you never open the app

Steps and workouts sync on their own from Apple Health or Health Connect. Then a nightly sweep finalises each day, so a busy Tuesday still lands on the leaderboard.

Add a past day

Did something your watch missed? Add it by hand. It’s marked as manual, so everyone can see the source.

Invite-only

Every challenge is private. Hosts can remove members, and anyone can block or report.

No ads

No banners and no pop-ups between you and the leaderboard.

No money pots

Nobody bets cash. You play for bragging rights and a good share card.

Free to join and chat

Joining a challenge, syncing your activity and chatting with your group are free. Bring the whole family, the office or the group chat.

Challenge types

Walkers, runners and lifters on one board

Pick the scoring that suits your group. Anything that writes to Apple Health or Health Connect counts.

  • Steps

    The classic. Most steps wins.

  • Distance

    Miles or kilometres from walks, runs and rides.

  • Active minutes

    Every minute of movement adds up.

  • Gym sessions

    Strength workouts of 20 minutes or more.

  • Gym days

    Hit your gym days each week. The host sets a goal of 2 to 5.

  • Points

    The host sets points per workout type and per 10,000 steps.

⚔️ Solo or two teams

Everyone for themselves, or Early Birds vs Night Owls

Race solo, or split into two teams the host names. Teams score by the average per member, so a team of three can beat a team of five.

Questions

Good to know

Is Jolt Club free?

Yes. Creating or joining a challenge, syncing your activity and chatting with your group are free. There are no ads and no money pots.

Do I have to open the app every day?

No. Steps and workouts sync from Apple Health or Health Connect, and a nightly sweep finalises each day, so your day counts even if you never open Jolt Club. If something didn’t sync, you can add a past day by hand.

Which watches and trackers work?

Anything that writes to Apple Health (iPhone) or Health Connect (Android): your phone, Apple Watch, Pixel Watch, Galaxy Watch, Garmin through Garmin Connect’s Apple Health or Health Connect sharing, and Fitbit on Android through Health Connect. Fitbit doesn’t write to Apple Health on iPhone.

Can iPhone and Android friends race together?

Yes. Everyone joins the same challenge with one link or a 6-letter code and shows up on one live leaderboard, whatever phone they use.

Who can see my activity?

Only the people in your challenges. Challenges are invite-only, and your profile is visible only to your challenge-mates. You can see the activity and source behind every score on the board.

When can I download it?

Jolt Club is coming soon to the App Store and Google Play. Email [email protected] and we’ll tell you when it’s live.
