Zen Walk transforms your daily walks into beautiful tile art, offering a minimal and innovative walking experience. Based on Zen philosophy, it provides a simple and calming way to track your movement. Visualize Your Walks with Tiles Every step you take creates 500m×500m tiles on the map. As you visit places and walk distances, tiles change color, turning your city into your personal art canvas. Three Tile States • Unvisited Tiles (Gray): Areas you haven't explored yet • Visited Tiles (Blue): Areas you've walked today • Checked-in Tiles (Green): Areas where you've walked 300m or more Simple and Beautiful Statistics Review your walking habits with daily, weekly, and monthly statistics. Track progress through tile counts rather than complex numbers, making it easier to stay motivated. Time Machine Feature • Review past walking history • Display tiles by date • Track your growth journey • Rediscover memorable places Premier Access • Unlimited history beyond 7 days • Detailed statistical graphs for trend analysis • Customize tile colors • CSV data export feature • Ad-free, focused experience Widget Support • Check progress on home screen • Lock screen widget compatible • Choose from 3 sizes • Real-time updates Privacy Focused • Location data processed on device • No external server transmission • Minimal permission requirements • Your data stays yours Zen Walk Features Embodying the Zen principle of "Less is More," enjoy the pure act of walking without being caught up in detailed step counts or distance metrics. Turn your daily walks into an artistic journey through your city. Train and car movements are automatically excluded, recording only pure walking activities. With continuous background location tracking, your walks are recorded automatically without opening the app. Power-efficient design minimizes battery impact.

We've implemented numerous bug fixes and system processing optimizations. Before the main introduction: We had an issue where background tracking would stop frequently, but we have now fundamentally fixed this problem. It took some time to correct, but it should now operate very stably. --- iOS 26 Compatibility Check!: Although we felt it might be unnecessary since we develop using only iOS native libraries, we confirmed operation on iOS 26. Everything works perfectly, and we're benefiting from the stunning design of Liquid Glass! Added Notification on Entering Background: To ensure more stable movement tracking, we've added a notification that encourages launching the app. Added Periodic Notifications While Moving: We now periodically notify you of the number of tiles visited and goal achievement progress while walking. Stabilized Widget Behavior: Widgets now operate more reliably (though delays may still occur). Stabilized Map Tile Update Processing: Fixed an issue where tile information for the day's movement wasn't reflected on the screen when returning from the background. Reduced Background Memory Usage: We've reduced this app's background memory usage by 90%. This should make the app less likely to be terminated in the background and allow other apps to operate more stably. Debugged Backup Restore Function: Fixed errors that could occur during the restoration of backup files. Notification Permission Request: With the addition of various notification features, we now request notification permissions as a "Recommended" (not mandatory) requirement on the welcome screen. Lightweight Map Function: Significantly reduced the load when viewing the map. ## Apps similar to Zen Walk | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [StepMate: Your Step Insights](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/stepmate-your-step-insights/id6743807132) | — | Free | Health & Fitness | | [Yoga Nidra](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/yoga-nidra/id848311479) | 3.5 (8) | Free | Health & Fitness | | [Actionary - Simple Actions](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/actionary-simple-actions/id6447120611) | 4.0 (5) | Free | Health & Fitness | | [BioCheck](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/biocheck/id1463784391) | — | Free | Health & Fitness | | [StepCounter: Walkmeter](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/stepcounter-walkmeter/id6740624901) | 5.0 (1) | Free | Health & Fitness | | [Walxy: Explore Cities](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/walxy-explore-cities/id6743057860) | — | Free | Health & Fitness | --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
