The WSWA App is Official and It's Free

The launch we've been building toward since the very first step.

WSWA – Walking Streak Is Now on the App Store

A few months ago, WSWA existed only in a spreadsheet, a few lines of code, and one conviction: daily walking deserves an official framework, a global community, and serious tools.

Today, the official WSWA – Walking Streak app is available on the App Store.

And it's free.


Why an app?

Since the association launched on March 21, 2026, members joined WSWA through wswa.world. The platform worked — but it was missing something essential: a native mobile experience, smooth and built for daily walking.

The app changes that. It puts WSWA in every walker's pocket, with everything they need to validate their streak, track their progress, and stay connected to the community.


What the app does

  • Two modes — daily streak (3.2 km/day without interruption) or free walking, at your own pace
  • Automatic Strava sync — your activities imported and validated with zero friction
  • The 3 Rings — Streak, Volume, Consistency — measuring your commitment from three angles. Close all three on the same day: that's a Perfect Day
  • Official certifications recognized by the association: Bronze (30d) → Silver (100d) → Gold (365d) → Platinum (500d) → Legend (1,000d)
  • Badges — dozens of rewards to unlock (mileage, consistency, weather, free walkers…)
  • A global registry — your public profile, your Footprints, your rank in international leaderboards
  • A weekly email digest — kilometers logged, current streak, badges earned, leaderboard progress

Don't walk every day? The app is built for you too. Free walker mode has its own leaderboards and badges. WSWA adapts to your life — not the other way around.


Why it's free

Since launch, joining WSWA required a €15 annual membership fee.

We removed it.

This isn't a business decision. It's a mission decision.

WSWA is a French nonprofit (loi 1901), founded to promote daily walking as a sustainable health practice. 30 minutes of walking a day reduces cardiovascular risk, improves sleep, lowers stress, and strengthens immunity. These benefits shouldn't come with an entry fee.

The other reason is ambition. We want to build the world's largest streak walking community. Every euro of friction removed means dozens of new walkers gained. Community growth is our priority — not membership fees.

The app is free. For everyone. Starting now. Forever.


Support the association

WSWA remains a nonprofit — no ads, no data selling. If you want to help us grow and build new features, donations are open at wswa.world/soutenir.

Every contribution matters.


Download. Walk. Don't stop.

The app is available now on the App Store. Streak or free walking — the first step is the most important one.
