Kadam app

Every step, counted together

Kadam means "step" in Punjabi. It is the free app we are building so that the Worldwide Step Counter can finally count real steps, from everyone, as they happen. Open it during the six days of the walk and your steps join the sangat's total without you doing anything else.

What Kadam will do

• Count your walk automatically. Kadam reads the step counter already in your phone, through Health Connect on Android and Apple Health on iPhone. No wearable needed.
• Add your steps to the worldwide total in real time. Watch the counter climb as families, Gurdwaras and cities across the world walk at the same time.
• Daily reflections. A short reading for each of the six days, from Chamkaur Sahib to the Jaikaras of 27 December, to read before or after you walk.
• Walk with your group. Create a group for your Gurdwara, family or friends and see your combined steps.
• Share cards for Instagram. One tap turns today's walk into a card with the hashtag already on it.

Made by the people who started the walk

Kadam is built by the Walk4Sahibzaade team, not by an advertising company. It is free, has no adverts and no in-app purchases, and it will stay that way. It is coming to both iOS and Android, and we are working to have it ready before the walk in December.

Privacy by design

Kadam keeps data to a minimum. Steps are counted on your phone and only the daily total is shared. You sign in with an email link, Google or Apple: no passwords. Anyone under 13 uses the app as a guest, and their steps stay on the phone. Your location is optional, used only while the live-walk map is open, and never sent to us. Nothing is sold. Read the privacy notice for the full list.

Be first to know

Join the waitlist and you will get exactly one email from us when Kadam is ready to download. Nothing else, unless you ask for it.
