Most step challenge apps lock you into 30-day events with co-workers. Global Steps is different: it's always-on. The leaderboard never resets to zero — instead, three rolling windows (24h, 7d, 30d) keep a fresh race running at all times, so a great walking day can put you on the global board within minutes.
