Walkr is a polished step game that turns your walking into fuel for a spaceship and a growing galaxy. It is a step-powered space game, not a workout tracker, it rewards walking, not logged lifts, runs or classes.
Pick Walkr if you want a relaxing step game with a space-exploration twist.

- Actually tracks your training: strength sets & reps, GPS runs, and studio-class calories.
- Streaks and a friends feed built to make showing up stick.
