BetterMiles is a walking challenge app that turns steps into a force for good. Built for health-conscious individuals and companies running CSR campaigns, the app connects step tracking with team-based challenges and donations for a cause.

From solo milestones to corporate wellness campaigns, it motivates users to stay active while giving back.

BetterMiles is a fun, feel-good app that turns your movement, whether you're walking, running, or biking, into real donations for charity. Whether you're commuting, training, or just out for a spin, every mile you log helps fund a cause you care about.
