## What is ShadeWalk?

Walk the same distance with less time in direct sun.
ShadeWalk turns building shadows and the sun's position into shadier walking routes, then keeps your steps and walk history together.

● Compare minutes in the sun
Set a start and destination to compare shade-first, shortest, and balanced routes. Route cards show sun exposure and detour time, while the map marks nearby heat shelters. The time slider previews how shadows move through the day.

● ShadeWalk for your travels
Tokyo, Paris, Barcelona, Sydney. Find shaded walking routes in the cities you explore on foot. Nationwide South Korea plus Japan, France, Spain, and Australia are supported, and when reliable shadow data is unavailable, ShadeWalk says so instead of guessing.

● Search places, stations, and exits
Search a place, station, landmark, or exit, then check its pin and distance before planning. Zoom in for station exit numbers and search phrases such as “Gangnam Station Exit 7” or “Hakata Nishi 4.”

● Save, search, and share frequent routes
Keep routes you created and routes shared with you in separate library sections. Search them by name, share a link, and save a received route only after reviewing it. Shade is recalculated for the time you walk.

● Steps and walk history
Review today's steps, distance, time, calories, and weekly activity. Walk records can sync with Apple Health. During guidance, progress stays visible on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island on supported devices.

● UV and heat context
In South Korea, destination-based UV, heat-wave, and tropical-night information appears when complete data is available. Missing or partial server data stays hidden.

● Honest shadow estimates
Shadows are estimates based on registered building heights and floors, street trees where available, the sun's position, and the selected time. Missing data and estimated heights are clearly marked. Shade scoring and original walk records are processed on-device. To improve the app, we collect non-sensitive usage statistics; precise location, search content, walk records, and health data are never sent. Map, search, route, air-quality, and weather requests may send related coordinates to Apple, Google, or Kakao.

Find shade, save the walk, and take it again tomorrow.

### 5/5 — 그늘로 보다가 그늘길도 보게됐음 ㅋㅋ

*2026-08-07*

광고가 좀 있음 근데 광고 한번 1분짜리 보면 하루종일 광고 없음 ㄱㅊ은듯

속도는 그늘로보다 빠름
근데 대중교통 기능은 없어서 지하철이나 버스 탈때는 네이버 지도나 그늘로씀 근데 그늘로도 아직 미완성인거 같아서 빠른게 장땡 ㅋㅋ

뭐 암튼 둘다 좋음 이 분은 왜 뉴스에 안나옴? 기록보니까 이거 3주전으로 되어있고 그늘로는 2주전으로 되어있어서 이게 더 빨리 나온거 같은데 
암튼 둘다 최고 ㅎㅇㅌ

### 4/5 — 지도 방향이 바뀌면 좋겠습니다

*2026-08-06*

다른 지도들처럼 지도사 제가 가는방향으로 알아서 바뀌면 더 좋을 것 같습니다. 찾기가 어렵네요 ㅠㅠ

**Developer response:** 안녕하세요 개발자입니다. 소중한 의견 감사합니다. 최신 업데이트부터는 안내를 시작하면 걷는 방향에 맞춰 지도가 자동으로 회전합니다. 안내 없이 볼 때도 방향에 맞게 돌아가도록 개선을 준비하고 있어요. 믿고 기다려주신 만큼 더 좋은 퀄리티를 위해 개선해 나가겠습니다. 감사합니다. ☺️☺️
다음주에 새롭게 바뀐 1.2.0 버전으로 찾아 뵙겠습니다!
