Read full description

A calm walking tracker for people who want to walk more, not chase numbers. Tap Start Walk, walk, and log it. Every walk becomes a dot in your mosaic. No daily step goal. No leaderboard. No account. No ads. Just one intentional walk at a time. HOW IT WORKS • Tap Start Walk. Time, steps and distance run quietly while you walk. • Hold to end. The walk is logged and today's dot fills in. • Add a note if you like ("felt better after this one"). • The home screen leads with "Walked 4 of your last 7 days". Consistency first; your streak is a quiet detail underneath. FREE • Unlimited walks with time, steps and distance • Your last 30 days as a mosaic, colored by morning, afternoon and evening • Share your mosaic as an image • Light and dark mode, metric or imperial • In 10 languages JUST WALK PRO (ONE-TIME PURCHASE, NO SUBSCRIPTION) • Your full history: every walk since day one. Free never deletes older walks; Pro shows them. • Month by month: a clean card for every month you walked • Color themes: warm, nature, mono or emoji dots • Lifetime stats: days walked, distance, steps, averages and your best streak APPLE WATCH • Start an outdoor walk on your wrist and leave your phone at home. Time, distance and heart rate are saved to Apple Health. (Watch walks don't appear in the phone mosaic yet.) PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account, no social feed, no public profile • Location is used only during a walk to measure distance. It never leaves your device, and Just Walk collects no data. WHAT PEOPLE SAID "The mosaic idea is probably the strongest part. It gives a sense of progress without making the user feel judged." (a commenter on r/iosapps) I built Just Walk after losing about 60 pounds, mostly by walking. I wanted an app that counted the walk, not every step of my day. If something feels off, Settings → Send Feedback comes straight to me. Just Walk is not a medical device and does not give medical advice. Privacy Policy: https://dahvio.com/just-walk-privacy
