Thinking Walks
Read full descriptionHide full description
A Thinking Walk is a half-hour walk with someone who keeps you sharp. You each walk your own route, in your own city, but you start on the same second, hear the same music, and know the other one is out there too. No video call, no chat, no screen. Just walking, listening and thinking about one question. PLANNING WITHOUT THE BACK-AND-FORTH Tap three moments that suit you and send a link. Your buddy picks one, even without the app. It lands in both calendars as a normal appointment, once or every week. START TOGETHER, HEAR TOGETHER Open the walk just before it begins and the start happens on its own. Both phones play the same playlist from the same second, synced to a shared clock. The music is on your phone in advance, so it works without signal. YOUR MUSIC OR OURS Add your own audio files from Files or iCloud Drive. They stay private, playable only by you and your buddy. Or pick from the Thinking Walks library: royalty-free tracks at walking tempo, credited to their makers. THE RACE TRACK AND YOUR BEAT SCORE The next seconds of the song lie on the road as a waveform, so you see the build-up and the drop coming. Your beat score shows how well you walk in time, live next to your buddy's. Afterwards it counts: records, streaks and averages, just for the two of you. QUIET BY DEFAULT, ONE TAP TO TALK Want to say something on the way? Tap the mic and your buddy hears you live, over the music. Phone to phone, never recorded. YOU KNOW THEY'RE WALKING. NOTHING ELSE. During the walk you only see whether your buddy is walking too. No location, no heart rate. Afterwards you can share your route; the start and end stay hidden. LOGGED AUTOMATICALLY WITH APPLE WATCH When the walk begins, your Apple Watch workout starts with it. Distance, pace and heart rate land in Health. Without a Watch, your iPhone logs the walk. Health data stays on your device. WRAP UP OUT LOUD After the walk, record a short note on where you landed. No keyboard, only voices. Every walk stays easy to find, together with what you said. NO BUDDY YET? Try a walk with the demo buddy and feel how it works before you invite anyone. Thinking Walks is free, with no ads and no subscription.
