## What is Wayo?

Wayo turns the places you go into journeys you can return to.

Some of the best days end up scattered across your photo library. Wayo brings the route, photos, stops, and notes from an outing together in one journey card—whether you are recording it now or rediscovering it later.

START A JOURNEY IN ONE TAP

Use Wayo for a neighborhood walk, a city walk, a hike, a gathering, or a trip. Walk and take photos as usual, then add a quick note whenever something is worth remembering. When you finish, Wayo brings your route, steps, distance, elevation, stops, photos, and notes together.

SEE HOW THE DAY UNFOLDED

An outing can include more than one way of getting around. Wayo can distinguish walking, running, cycling, driving, and hiking, then divide a mixed journey into clear activity segments. You can see what happened, how far you went, and where each part belongs on the timeline.

SPEAK A NOTE WHILE YOU WALK

Typing is not always convenient outdoors. Speak a thought and Wayo turns it into text on your device. Transcription runs on device, and the original audio stays on your device with the note so you can replay it later. It is never uploaded automatically.

RECOVER PAST OUTINGS FROM PHOTOS

Choose photos from an older day and Wayo uses their time and location information to help reconnect the trip. It does not invent a story or choose what matters for you. You decide which photos and routes to keep.

ONE CARD FOR THE WHOLE JOURNEY

Review the route, steps, elevation, driving, stops, photos, and notes in one place. The activity data shows how you moved; the photos and words bring back what the day felt like.

WATCH MEANINGFUL DAYS LIGHT UP

Your calendar becomes a quiet grid of days. A day with only step data stays subtle. A day with a recorded or recovered journey lights up with its photos and route colors—without streaks, pressure, or another goal to maintain.

MEMORIES AND A MAP THAT GROW WITH YOU

Wayo can bring back moments from this day in past years. Your journey map gathers routes from different days and places, so you can see the cities and paths that have become part of your story.

LOCAL-FIRST BY DESIGN

Your routes, photos, Health data, voice transcription, and saved voice-note audio are handled on your device. Wayo requires no account and provides no cloud sync. With your consent, device-linked usage and diagnostic data may be sent to help improve reliability and the product; see the Privacy Policy for details.

Over time, Wayo becomes a walking journal made from places you actually visited, photos you actually took, and words you chose to keep.
