## What is Foray?

Hitting your step goal shouldn't feel like staring at a number that won't move.

Foray turns your daily step goal into a real destination. Tell it how many steps you want, how far you want to walk, or how much time you have, and Foray finds a place nearby that's exactly the right distance away. A park. A coffee shop you've never tried. A bookstore across the neighborhood. Walk there and back, and your goal takes care of itself.

WHY FORAY IS DIFFERENT

Most fitness apps just count. Foray gives your steps a reason. Instead of an abstract number, you get a real place to go.

• Set your goal your way: steps, distance, or the time you have
• Get a real destination matched to what you like (parks, cafes, landmarks, trails, and more)
• Already partway there? Walks are sized to what's left of today's goal
• See the place before you go, with a photo or a look around the street out front where Apple Maps has it
• Don't want to choose? One Pick hands you one place a day, with one pass
• See every match on a map, numbered in the order Foray recommends
• Walk there with your phone's own Maps app, no new navigation to learn
• Follow your walk from the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island
• Mark when you arrive and see your there-and-back split
• Every foray saves to Apple Health as a walking workout
• Build a streak, and earn repairs so one missed day doesn't undo it
• Earn badges as you hit milestones, reach new places, and grow your streak
• Follow friends and see where they've been in your feed
• Cheer on their walks and nudge a friend who's gone quiet
• Show off a walk with a share card made for the group chat
• Walk together in real time with Co-Walk
• Light or dark, Foray follows your phone or lets you choose

YOUR PRIVACY, RESPECTED

Foray uses your location to find your destination, then lets it go. It never records the route you walk. Your live position leaves your phone only when you choose to share a walk, and then only with the people you send that link to, only until you finish. Only the places you choose to visit are saved to your private history. No ads. No data selling. Not now, not ever.

BUILT FOR REAL LIFE

Fewer options nearby? Foray tells you honestly when a destination sits a little past your goal instead of leaving you stuck. Only have a 30-minute lunch break? Set a time goal instead of a step count.

BETTER WITH FRIENDS

Follow the people you walk with and see their forays in a shared feed. Cheer each other on, nudge a friend who's gone quiet, or start a Co-Walk and head out together in real time.

FORAY PREMIUM

Free to download and use. Premium adds Live Link, so someone you trust can follow your walk in their browser while you take it, with no app and no account on their end. It also adds notes and photos on your walks, advanced Insights and records, Co-Walk groups up to 8, every destination category, unlimited new places, automatic streak repair, and the gold share card.

Stop staring at a number. Start walking somewhere.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.0.3 — 2026-09-24

Let someone follow along while you walk.

What's new in this version:
• Premium: send a link, and whoever you send it to can watch your walk happen in any browser. They don't need the app, an account, or a subscription of their own.
• The link never shows where you set off or where you finish, only where you are along the way. It stops working when you end your walk, and nothing about it is kept.
• A reminder at 9 am every morning to go take a foray. Turn it off any time under Settings> Notifications. If you already have a streak going, your streak reminder takes over that morning, so you only ever get one nudge.
• Two fixes to a walk's numbers: calories now keep filling in after you finish, instead of stopping at whatever Apple Health had written that second (without a watch, your iPhone saves that data in batches), and a foray now saves the distance you actually covered even when you tapped "I'm here".

Thanks for walking with us. We still never record the route you walk. Your live position only ever leaves your phone when you choose to share a walk, and only with whoever you sent that link to.

### 1.0.2 — 2026-09-17

See the place before you walk there.

What's new in this version:
• Open a destination, and a picture of the place now sits on the map. Tap it to look around the street out front, as Apple Maps does.
• One Pick: don't want to browse? Switch the Walk tab to one place a day that fits your goal, with one pass if it isn't the walk you want. Find it in Filters under Choose, or in Settings.
• Walks are now sized to what's left of today's goal, so your pick lands you on it, not past it.
• More accurate steps: steps taken with your phone locked now count, and your totals no longer dip while Apple Health catches up.

Thanks for walking with us. As always, we don't track your route, only the places you choose to visit.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-08-28

The Today ledger on the Walk tab now always tells you where you stand. It used to go blank in the moments you'd most want to check it: once you'd met your goal, when today's total wasn't available, and the whole time you were walking to a time goal. It now reads Left, or how far past your goal you are, or a dash when the step count isn't in yet.

Units come with it. Every cell in the ledger carries mi or km instead of only the goal, so you're no longer comparing 3.7 against 2 mi. The Walk tab also follows the unit you picked for the goal you're setting.

### 1.0 — 2026-08-27

No release notes.
