We created Treekly to make it as easy as possible for people like you to have a positive impact on your health while helping our planet.
Treekly is a health and well-being walking app that encourages users to walk 5,000 steps daily in order to earn a tree.
The app aims to help support a healthier lifestyle while funding reforestation projects.
The app is available to download now on the Apple App store and Google Play store.
We separate ourselves from other tree planting apps by providing users with a community platform to fund global reforestation projects through the power of walking.
Using gamification and behaviour change through positive association, we reward users in the app for maintaining a daily walking habit. Based on an achievable goal of 5,000 steps a day, users are rewarded with trees in their digital forest.
Users digitally plant their tree in the app. This is a visual representation of a real mangrove tree planted by Eden Reforestation Project which has been funded by the Treekly community.
To change how your Treekly app counts your steps, head to the Profile section of the app.
For iOS users, we recommend connecting to Apple Health.
For Samsung users, please choose the Samsung Health option*
For other Android users, there is a choice of Google Fit or your phone's in-built pedometer.
*Please note you must have the Samsung Health app and the Health Platform app both downloaded on your phone before connecting
If you are an Android user, we suggest connecting to our Steps Tracker. This is the most accurate way to track your steps. For iOS users, connect to Apple Health. These can both be found in the profile section of your Treekly app.
We offer a free version of the Treekly app which rewards users for maintaining a habit of 5,000 steps.
Users complete their 5,000 steps goal over 20 days to be rewarded with a tree (funded by the Treekly community) to plant in their virtual forest. Complete your daily steps goal to fill in your tree ring, and be rewarded with a tree once the ring is full.
Treekly also offers monthly subscriptions and plans for businesses, which allows users to earn trees daily or weekly when completing their steps goals. To find out more about our subscriptions, enter the app and select the 'Plans' icon.
We purposely choose an achievable target of 5,000 steps to make the app more accessible to those who want to improve their fitness.
We understand that this does not include everyone, and are currently working on making the app available to as many people as possible by looking at different ways we can track steps/distance and how we display step counts on our app.
