Walking is better
with your gaggle.

The cozy walking app that's really about friends โ€” build streaks, grow your garden, and honk your besties into their sneakers. ๐Ÿชฟ

Not a fitness app.

No calories. No weigh-ins. No shame.
Just fresh air, good friends, and silly goose energy.

honk nudge icon

Honk for accountability

Nudge a friend with a playful honk when they've skipped their walk. Encouraging, never naggy.

gaggle is the only walking app that has worked for me. My friends and I are obsessed and the second I get a honk, I'm out the door. I've managed to walk almost every single day because of it.

Silly questions, honest answers.

Everything people ask us before they join the flock.

What is gaggle?

gaggle is a walking app for friends. You and your gaggle (a little flock of up to 6 besties, or 10 with gaggle+) each commit to a daily walk, keep your streaks alive, grow your gardens, and honk each other out the door when someone's lagging. It's about showing up โ€” for yourself and for each other.

Is gaggle a fitness app?

Nope. No calories, no weigh-ins, no shame. gaggle only cares whether you showed up for your walk today. Think of it as a friend-accountability app that happens to be about walking.

What's the best walking app to use with friends?

It depends what you want. For pace, routes and data, Strava. For a step contest, Pacer or Stridekick. If you want your friends to notice when you don't go, that's gaggle. We compared them all honestly in the best walking apps with friends.

How does gaggle work?

Download gaggle, make your goose, and invite your friends to your gaggle. Go for a walk each day, check off your walk in gaggle, then earn petals for showing up and watch your garden grow. If a friend skips a day, send a honk: a playful nudge that's encouraging, never naggy.

Does gaggle count steps?

gaggle uses your phone's step data to notice when you've been walking, and you choose whether to opt in to the step-count leaderboard. It's customizable to you โ€” you get to pick, and you're never penalized if you'd rather not count your steps. The leaderboard is there for accountability, not competition.

What's a honk?

A honk is a friendly nudge you send a friend who hasn't walked yet today. It's gaggle's version of a text that says 'get up, I love you, go outside.' Honks are always encouraging โ€” gaggle never shames anyone for a missed day.

Can I use gaggle with friends who live far away?

Yes! Your gaggle doesn't need to be in the same city, or even the same country. Everyone walks wherever they are, and you keep each other honest from anywhere.

Is gaggle free?

Yes โ€” gaggle is free to download on the App Store and Google Play, and free to walk with your friends. There's an optional gaggle+ subscription ($4.99 a month or $39.99 a year, USD) for extra goose outfits, garden backgrounds and more, but you never need it to walk with your gaggle.

Is gaggle available on Android?

Yes! gaggle is now available on Android. Download it on Google Play.

Who makes gaggle?

gaggle was created and is run by Erica Rankin, a Canadian entrepreneur who's passionate about wellness the balanced way โ€” everything in moderation, moving because it feels good, and listening to your body instead of a number. She built the app for herself and her friends, and once she realized it actually worked, she realized everyone could use it.
