Bara is a social step challenge app built for the people you actually walk with. Pick a race length, invite your friends, and let your steps do the running.
HOW IT WORKS
- Create races lasting 1, 3, 7, or 14 days
- Invite friends and set the number of walkers
- Live leaderboards update automatically from Health Connect step data
- Join public and featured daily races and watch your placement update live
PLAY WITH POWER-UPS
Collect playful power-ups and add a twist to the race:
- Slow a friend's pace for a while
- Rewind a little of someone's recent progress
- Borrow a few steps from the walker ahead of you
- Leave a surprise along the trail
- Briefly hide the leaderboard from another walker
It's all lighthearted and temporary. Every walker keeps their own real step
count in Health Connect.
RACE YOUR WAY
- Keep races completely casual, or
- Play team races and multi-day tournament brackets with friends
- Top finishers earn bonus coins from Bara. Races are always free to enter.

DESIGNED TO BE FUN, NOT STRESSFUL
Walk at your own pace. Race friends casually or push for the top of the
leaderboards while exploring a cozy illustrated hiking world with your
customizable capybara companion.
PRIVACY FIRST
Bara reads only your step count from Health Connect. It does not access heart rate, calories, sleep, workouts, distance, or location.
