Financial Empowerment

We provide a direct way for users to earn our in-app currency, "Litties," simply by walking. This creates an accessible, universal income stream available to anyone with a smartphone.

WERN is not just another fitness tracker; it is a comprehensive lifestyle application that makes every step valuable, meaningful, and safe.

Refer & Earn

A powerful viral growth engine. Invite friends to join WERN and earn significant bonuses for every successful referral. It's the easiest way to multiply your earnings.

Streak & Challenge Rewards

Earn bonus Litties for maintaining daily walking streaks and completing special challenges hosted by WERN or our brand partners.

Authentic Brand Connection

We are fixing the broken advertising model. Instead of intrusive ads, WERN allows brands to reward users directly for real- world actions and engagement, creating a relationship built on value, not views.

Partner Marketplace

An exclusive marketplace where users can redeem their Litties for real-world goods, services, and discounts from a curated list of brands.

My Passport

WERN Digital Passport: Every step you take becomes a journey — unlock city badges, leave your footprints across countries, watch your eco-impact grow, and share your achievements with a community that celebrates every milestone. Explore, earn, and see your progress come alive.
