How Rivo works

Four moves. That’s the whole game.

See the gap

The leaderboard shows who’s ahead — and by exactly how much.

Every step your friends take is right there. So is the gap. It has a way of getting closed.

Close the gap

Today’s steps, streak, and progress in one glance.

No dashboards to dig through. Open the app, see where you stand, take the walk.

Send the buzz

Nudge a friend who’s slipping. Or taunt one who’s ahead.

A buzz takes one tap and says everything: I see you. Get moving.

Why it works

Walking works. Friends make it stick.

Live longer.

Compared with 2,000 steps a day, 7,000 was associated with a 47% lower risk of death from any cause.

You don’t need 10,000. You need a reason.

Feel better.

Walking 7,000+ steps a day was associated with a 31% lower risk of depression, and every extra 1,000 steps with another 9%.

It keeps improving the further you walk.

Stay sharp.

A daily count of 7,000 steps was associated with a 38% lower risk of dementia.

The brain benefits showed up at the same step count.

Push harder.

In a trial of 602 adults, a step competition with friends and family added 920 steps a day, and the edge held 12 weeks after the game ended.

The groups who got encouragement instead walked less.

Get unstuck.

Just 8 minutes of walking increased creative output by 60% compared with sitting.

The stuck ideas move when you do.

Lead the way.

Kids with an active dad are 3.5x more likely to be active themselves. With both parents active, it is nearly 6x.

They copy what you do, not what you tell them.

Why “Rivo”?

“Rival” comes from the Latin rivales — neighbors who shared a stream.

Rivo is friendly competition between people who share something — your steps, your streaks, your stream.

When my aunt was recovering from breast cancer, her oncologist kept returning to one prescription: move, consistently, every day. Steps weren’t a side note in her recovery — they were part of the plan.

I love all the stats I can track and how motivated I get to beat my friends steps. Fantastic app and so easy to navigate!

I can easily see how many steps I have compared to my friends which is fun in motivating me to move more during the day.

It has not only been a great way to track my own steps but has also been a great way to connect with friends and have some friendly challenges.

My mom is 68. She’s down 20 pounds since she got Rivo — nothing fancy, just a daily walk she doesn’t want to lose anymore.
