Inside Pledro

The whole app,
with nothing staged.

Every screen on this page is a real capture of the running app. Where a screen doesn’t exist yet, we say so rather than draw one.

The arenas

Challenges live in rooms.

A single long list is where good challenges go to hide. The hub sorts everything open into arenas, each answering a different question you might be asking.

Pledro Official Challenges we run ourselves.
Big Funds The largest reward funds currently open.
Quick Ones Everything closing inside 48 hours.
This Weekend Windows that open Saturday and Sunday.
Free Entry Grind entry, zero spend, the way in.
Starting Soon Windows about to open. Enter before they start.
Filling Up Start-when-full challenges near their number.
Charity Challenges run for a cause. Entries that stay in the fund go to the charity, not to the other entrants.

Drag the rail. On the site it’s a scroll-snapping strip; in the app it’s the same rail at the top of Home.

Four formats

Different shapes of commitment.

Format one

Custom

You set the target, the window and the entry, then invite whoever you want. The default when you create one.

Format two

Quick

A 24 to 48 hour window. One session, one result, done before you’ve had time to reconsider.

Format three

Weekend

Opens Saturday, closes Sunday night. Built for the two days most goals actually die on.

Format four

Start when full

Waits for a set number of entrants, then starts everybody together, nobody sitting in an empty room.

You against the version of you that stayed in bed.

Create a challenge, step 2 of 4: set the rules for a distance race, with wearable-validated extra requirements.

Create · step 2 of 4

Make your own

Four steps, and every rule provable.

Pick the type, set the rules, choose the window, set the entry. Invite friends or leave it open.

The interesting part is the extra requirements. You can demand a pace to hold, a minimum average heart rate, a calorie floor, elevation gain or cadence, and every one of them is wearable-validated. You can only ask for something a wearable can prove, which is exactly why nobody can talk their way past it.

Step 1 Type, one of ten activity types
Step 2 Rules, the target and any extra requirements
Step 3 Window, and only what you train after entering counts
Step 4 Entry, and who can see it

All ten activity types →

Who can see it

Three doors.

Public

Listed in the arenas. Anyone can enter, and the fund grows with every entry.

Private

Invite only. Doesn’t appear in the hub, it exists for the people you sent it to.

Pledro Official

Run by us, with the same rules, the same reward maths and the same verification as everything else.

The verified feed

Claim, receipt, evidence.
In that order.

Most fitness feeds are a photo with a number typed under it. Pledro inverts that: the metric your wearable recorded is the headline, the receipt sits under it, and the photo comes last.

1 · The claim

The defining metric at full size, in the activity family’s colour. It is the first thing you read.

2 · The receipt

The box score, then a green line naming the device that validated it. No box, no badge, a receipt.

3 · The evidence

The photo, last, and entirely optional. A post with no photo loses nothing.

The Pledro home feed: challenges rail, a nudge blade, and a completed result post.

Home · rail, blade and a result post

Results are respectful

A finished challenge reads COMPLETED · REWARD EARNED, and a missed one reads NOT THIS TIME · GOOD FIGHT. Nobody’s result is written as a raid on somebody else’s.

Green is news

The one green thing on the home screen is your own result landing. Everything else stays quiet so that it means something.

Nothing to embellish

There is no field to type a distance into, so there is nothing to round up. The feed is only as honest as the wearable, which is the point.

Graft is the only shortcut.

While it’s running

Standings, and an argument about pacing.

Every challenge has a live standings view and its own discussion. You can see who has verified, who hasn’t yet, and how much is left.

The detail screen shows the reward fund, the countdown, who is in and the exact rules. There is a “bring a friend” route too: the fund grows with every entry, and challenges are more fun crowded.

Standings Live, per challenge, verified only
Discussion A thread attached to the challenge itself
Messages Direct messages on their own tab

Detail

Challenge standings: the reward fund line, an entrant yet to verify, and the note that activities verify automatically from your watch.

Standings

A Pledro profile showing stats bands, a Grind wallet band and challenge counts.

You · profile and wallet

Your record

A profile made of things you did.

Weekly distance, active days, streak, average pace, and the challenges you’ve entered, completed and been rewarded for. All of it verified, which makes it worth having.

Stats This week, distance, active days, day streak, pace
Challenges Live, completed, rewards earned
Wallet Your Grind balance, and what’s held in open entries
XP levels You start at L1 · Rookie and climb by doing the work
Founding badge On every account created before launch, kept for good

The screen above is a brand-new account: zeroes everywhere, and the app still looks designed. That was deliberate.

Better in your hand
than in a screenshot.

Pick a challenge tonight. Start fresh tomorrow. Back yourself.
