## What is Lunka?

Lunka gives you a walk to take and someone to take it with. It turns the steps you
have left today into a real route from your door, and it keeps you going by putting
a few people you know on the other end of it.

Everyone knows they should walk more. That is not the hard part. The hard part is
that walking alone gets boring around day four, and then it stops happening.

And most people who walk together are not training. They are talking, and the
walking is almost incidental. Very little is built for that. You either get a cold
meter counting numbers at you, or something built for performance, where a slow
hour with a friend leaves you feeling like a tourist in a runner's world.

Lunka is the quiet one.

You invite a few people you actually know. That is the whole network. There are no
public profiles, no discover tab, no followers, and nothing to win. You can see that
someone in your circle walked today, and you can ask them out for six o'clock, and
that is about as social as it gets. If you say yes, it goes in your calendar with a
reminder, because something in a feed is forgotten by lunch.

It also solves the problem that ends most evening walks before they start: 4,000
steps left, and no idea what that actually means. Lunka turns it into a route. Not a number, an actual loop drawn
from your door, roughly the right length, back where you started. Twenty minutes if
that is what you have. Three kilometres if you would rather think in distance. If
the route looks dull, one tap draws another, and it tries not to repeat the ground
you covered last week. It skips stairs when you are pushing a pram. It checks the
forecast and tells you the one hour today that is worth going out in, which in
Sweden in November is a genuinely useful thing to know.

Streaks are forgiving. Miss a day once you have built one up and it survives, and
the app tells you so before you have time to feel bad about it. Weeks have weather
in them. That is not a feature, it is just how life works.

What Lunka will never have is a leaderboard. The moment friends are ranked by step
count it becomes the thing this app exists to get away from.

Lunka is free. Your circle, invitations, the calendar, your streak, recording your
own walks, and twelve guided routes a month. Lunka Plus is $3.99 per month or $24.99 per
year, and gives you a fresh route whenever you open the app, every walk kept, and
the map of everywhere you have been.

"Lunka" is a Swedish word for going at an easy pace. Slower than a jog, faster than
a stroll, the way you walk when you have somewhere to be but no reason to rush.

Made in Sweden, by one person.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.0.2 — 2026-10-16

Three repairs, and one of them matters more than the rest.

Walks were losing their map. If your phone went in your pocket, Lunka threw away most of the positions iOS handed it, and a long walk could come back as an empty map and 0.0 km. That is fixed. The walk you take is the walk you get.

Lunka also needs your exact location to draw a route you actually walked. If that permission is off, it now asks when the walk starts, and says so plainly instead of quietly recording nothing.

And the step count at the end of a walk was adding the walk twice, which could hand you a goal you had not reached. It counts once now.

The map is easier to read. Green reads as green, every street carries an outline so it stands apart from the ground, and footpaths no longer lie across a city as a web of brown lines. While you walk, the map now sits far enough back to show the next crossing and the street names.

Smaller: Lunka will ask once, after a walk that closed your goal, whether you would rate it. The milestone card and the invite card can both be dismissed.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-09-30

Lunka's first proper update.

· Your profile is rebuilt: every walk in a grid, your saved routes, and the map of where you have been — which now opens full screen.
· Home shows your steps and your streak side by side, with today's weather window on the route card.
· Routes stopped doubling back on themselves. Lunka also steers away from ground you covered recently, so a familiar length still feels new.
· Step-free routes for prams and wheels, and gentler hills when you ask for them.
· Rest days: once a streak is established, one missed day no longer ends it — and Lunka tells you before you worry.
· Milestones for the quiet numbers: the hundredth kilometre, the thirtieth day at your goal.
· Twelve guided routes a month stay free, with the balance always in sight. A walk you discard never costs one.
· You can report or block someone, and an invitation to a circle now asks you before it adds you.
· Text across the app is darker and easier to read, and VoiceOver says what every icon button does.
