Our story

Walking belongs to your town.
The apps don't.

Most of us already walk ? to work, with the dog, round the shops. But step apps are built for nowhere in particular: points with nowhere to spend them, leaderboards with no connection to your town.

At the same time, independent businesses on your doorstep struggle to reach the people already walking past. Movement on one side, local life on the other, and nothing joining them up.

We kept asking: why shouldn't the steps you take on your own streets count for something here?

Turn your steps into something you can redeem nearby

Dander turns everyday walking into local currency. Open the app, sync your steps, and earn Clover you can redeem at caf�s, shops, and venues nearby ? not in a distant catalogue six months from now.

  • Walk and earn in the background
  • Discover rewards on your map
  • Redeem in person with a tap

From the founders

The people behind the app

Craig Barton

Craig Barton

Co-founder � Product

Modern rewards apps push people away from local businesses and into the pockets of corporate giants. We built Dander to fix that and keep value where we live.

Marketing spent decades teaching people to chase distant rewards. We think the better story is right outside your door and it starts with a Dander.
