Ithaca

Ithaca turns your walks into a map of the city you actually know. Start a walk and put your phone away. Ithaca records your route in the background and paints it onto the map — streets you walk once glow softly, the ones you walk every day shine brightest. Give it a few weeks and your city appears. TEN CITIES, SEVEN COUNTRIES London, Paris, Rome, Madrid, Valencia, Athens, Thessaloniki, Paxos, Copenhagen and Oslo — each mapped down to its own districts, boroughs or arrondissements, with coverage tracked separately for every one. SEE YOUR CITY FILL IN • Heatmap mode — every street you have walked, weighted by how often • Fog of War mode — the city starts dark and clears as you explore it • Filter by today, week, month, year or all time TRACK WITHOUT THINKING ABOUT IT • Background tracking with a live route line, distance, time and pace • Live Activity on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island • Home Screen widgets for your week, your streak, your city and the countries you have walked in • Auto-save, so a forgotten session is never lost KEEP THE WALKS • Name and save every walk, with route map, elevation profile and photos • Drop pins for pubs, coffee, sights, secret spots and notes to yourself • Share a walk as a GPX file, an image card or an Ithaca bundle • Curated walks, including The Square Mile: Roman London to the Gherkin REASONS TO GO FURTHER • Every district in every city, with coverage rings and a ranked list • 118 milestones across distance, time, districts, landmarks and countries • Your last seven days against a usual week, weekly goals and streaks • Walking load, so you can see your effort trending up or down PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your walks stay on your device and, if you turn on backup, in your own iCloud.
