What if supporting our journalism meant more to you than just relying on a trusted news source and came with real, tangible rewards (maybe not as tangible as seeing a corrupt minister removed from office, but hey, it’s close enough).

A huge part of Daily Maverick’s mantra is that journalism should help you navigate life, make better decisions and have richer conversations. And because we want everyone to benefit from our work, our journalism will always remain free.

But now we’re offering you something extra for your support.

We’re bringing Maverick Insiders a brand-new benefit: exclusive, free access to [Strove](https://www.strove.ai/za/), the leading wellness and rewards app that pays you back for healthy habits.

#### **Why Strove?**

Strove isn’t just another app. It’s your digital wellbeing companion. Track your movement, join fun challenges, meditate, get personalised nutrition advice and be rewarded for every step you take (literally).

Every healthy action earns you Strove points, which you can swap for vouchers at your favourite shops, restaurants and more.

#### **How does it work?**

**Move more, feel better:**Log your daily activity by syncing with Apple Health, Samsung Health, Fitbit, Strava, Garmin and more. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned pro, Strove keeps you moving.

**Mindfulness and mental health:**Meditate, access sleep support and connect with licensed mental health professionals, all from your phone.

**Eat well:**Get personalised nutrition plans, consult with dieticians, access a variety of healthy recipes and log your meals to keep your diet on track and your energy up.

**Earn real rewards:**Every healthy habit earns you points. Redeem them for vouchers at your favourite stores – whether you’re grabbing a coffee at Bootlegger, Vida, Starbucks or Mugg & Bean; need a bit of extra relief at Checkers or Pick n Pay; want to spoil yourself at iStore, Cape Union Mart, Poetry or Dermalogica; or treating yourself to dinner at Col’Cacchio, Spur, Fishaways or Nando’s. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the rewards partners waiting for you.

We’ve put together the full list of rewards partners [here](https://dailymaverick.freshdesk.com/a/solutions/articles/69000869649).

**Compete and connect:**Join leaderboards, build streaks, unlock badges and challenge fellow Insiders, (or just quietly track your progress at your own pace – that’s okay too).
