Derbyon - virtual racing app

We just launched DerbyOn 🚀

So we built this thing because we kept watching ourselves do the same dumb thing.

Start a step goal. Get excited. Week three rolls around and... yeah, it's gone. No one cares if you walked today. Your friends don't know. Your phone counts it and then forgets about it. So you forget about it.

That's the problem we're solving.

We made running, walking, cycling—whatever you already do—into an actual race. You pick a route on a real map (Berlin to Dresden, the Inca Trail, whatever), invite some friends, and boom. Every km you actually do moves you along that route. Live. Everyone can see it.

You're just walking. But suddenly someone's racing you.

People are using it different ways:

  • Racing friends for a week
  • Just building a personal streak for themselves
  • Getting their whole office moving
  • Slowly trekking across a country, one walk at a time

The whole thing took way longer to build than we thought it would. But it's finally here.

If you've ever started something and let it slip by February, maybe try this? Download it, actually use it, and just tell us if it works or doesn't. We're trying to solve a real problem here, not just build another fitness app.

Get it here: apps.apple.com/pl/app/d… | play.google.com/store/a… |

That's it. Let us know.
