Even if your fitness tracker isn’t compatible, you still have a few great options for participating in challenges.


Option 1: Use Your Phone as a Bridge

Many fitness apps can send step data to Apple Health (on iPhone) or Health Connect (on Android). Once your device app sends data to one of these platforms, Stridekick can pull the step data from there.

Here’s how to check if this works for you:

  1. Open your device’s app (like Oura Ring, Xiaomi, Whoop)

  2. Go to Settings and look for "Connect to Apple Health" or "Connect to Health Connect"

  3. Follow the prompts to complete the connection

  4. Open your device’s app ➝ open Apple Health or Health Connect ➝ open Stridekick to sync

⚠️ Note: This method relies on your device's app sending step data to Apple Health or Health Connect reliably. If syncing is inconsistent, try one of the options below.


📱 Option 2: Use Your Phone as Your Fitness Tracker

No tracker? No worries. Use your phone’s motion sensors to track your steps through a fitness app:

✅ Just keep your phone on you (in a pocket or armband) while you move to capture your steps!


✍️ Option 3: Use Manual Activity Entry + Activity Converter

If you prefer, you can also manually add your step totals to Stridekick—no syncing required.

You can manually enter steps for up to 7 days in the past.
