Stepler offers two ways to compete: Open Leaderboards and Friendly Leaderboards. Both run for 7 days, track your steps, and reward your effort — but they work a little differently.
Open Leaderboards
Compete against other Steplers across the community. A new leaderboard starts every week.
How it works
- Group Matching: You’re placed in a group with people who have a similar average step count.
- Duration: Day 1 at 00:00 CET → Last day at 23:59 CET
- Rewards:
- 🥇 1st place: 30 points
- 🥈 2nd place: 15 points
- 🥉 3rd place: 7 points
- Extra bonuses: Some leaderboards may include special raffles with additional rewards.
- Join anytime: You can join or leave whenever you want.
Friendly Leaderboards
Create your own 7-day leaderboard and compete with friends, family, or colleagues.
How it works
- Duration: 7 days (Day 1 at 00:00 CET → Day 7 at 23:59 CET)
- Rewards based on group size:
- Fewer than 4 members → ❌ No points
- 4+ members → 🥇 30 points
- 5+ members → 🥇 30 pts, 🥈 15 pts
- 7+ members → 🥇 30 pts, 🥈 15 pts, 🥉 7 pts
- Visibility: Your name and step count are visible to everyone in the leaderboard.
- Late joining: Joining after the start may reduce your counted steps.
- Syncing: Open Stepler daily to ensure steps are up to date.
- Claim rewards: Points can be claimed from the dashboard or the leaderboard once it ends.
FAQ
How do leaderboard dates work?
All leaderboards run for 7 days. Only steps recorded between the start date (00:00) and the end date (23:59) count. Time zones don’t matter — steps within this window are included.
How often are leaderboards refreshed?
Leaderboards update frequently but not instantly. A short delay may cause your dashboard and leaderboard totals to differ. Final rankings are calculated once the leaderboard closes.
Is there a participant limit?
Yes. Each leaderboard can have up to 50 members.
How many leaderboards can I participate in at once?
You can have up to 3 active leaderboards simultaneously.
When can I start a Friendly Leaderboard?
You can choose a start date from tomorrow up to 7 days ahead.
How do I claim my points?
Points can be claimed from:
- the dashboard, or
- the leaderboard result screen.
How often should I open the app to sync steps?
Open Stepler daily. If steps don’t sync for more than 10 minutes, something may need attention.
Why do I see 0 steps when joining?
This is normal. Leaderboards update periodically, and your steps will appear during the next refresh.
