Step, sweat and outdo your mates.
Ultim8 is a fitness competition for people you actually know. Sync your steps, join a group with an invite code and watch the leaderboard move.
App screen shows sample data.
How it works
Three taps and you're in the game.
Set up once. After that Ultim8 syncs in the background while you get on with your day.
Sign in
Continue with Google, or use your email. Your phone's lock screen keeps your account safe when you come back.
Join a group
Create one for your crew, or enter a friend's invite code. You can also add friends by email.
Move and win
Steps sync on their own. Climb the leaderboard, unlock badges and catch whoever just overtook you.
Features
Everything a friendly rivalry needs.
All of this works in the app today, except the item marked as coming.
Live leaderboard
A ranking inside every group by steps, calories and active minutes.
Overtake alerts
A push the moment a friend passes you. Revenge walks encouraged.
Milestone badges
First 1,000 steps, a 10,000 day, a lakh in a week and activity streaks.
Invite-code groups
Private by default. Share one code and nobody outside the group sees a thing.
Friends by email
Add people directly, with or without a shared group.
Targets and racesComing
Group goals and virtual races along a route you choose.
Connect any device
Your watch. Your phone. Whatever you wear.
Ultim8 reads your steps from Android Health Connect, so anything that syncs there counts. No manual entry, no extra accounts.
Turn on Health Connect sync inside Samsung Health, Google Fit or your watch app.
Open Ultim8 and allow access to steps, calories and exercise.
The dashboard shows which apps your steps are coming from.

FAQ
Quick answers.
Is Ultim8 free?
Yes. The app is free and shows ads. A remove-ads option for supporters is planned but not live yet.
Do I need a smartwatch?
No. Your phone's own step counter works through Health Connect. A watch or fitness app just makes the numbers more complete.
Which phones does it run on?
Android. Health Connect is built into recent versions of Android and available from Google Play on older ones. There is no iPhone version yet.
Who can see my data?
Only people in your groups and friend list see your name, photo and activity totals. Your height, weight and birthday stay private to you. You can delete your account and data inside the app.
When is it on Google Play?
We're running a friends-and-family trial first and will move to Google Play internal testing after that. We won't promise a date until it's real.
Ready to outstep your mates?
We're inviting a small circle of friends and families first. Tell us you're in and we'll send your invite.
