Let the detour become the destination. WanderOrb suggests a walking loop that begins near your current location and brings you back. Choose 10, 20, or 30 minutes, pick a mood, and discover one corner of your everyday surroundings that you have not noticed before. CHOOSE A TIME AND MOOD Select Reset, Discover, or Quiet for today’s way of walking. Preview the full loop on the map before you begin. KNOW EXACTLY WHERE TO HEAD NEXT While you walk, a rotating arrow and guidance such as “diagonally right for about 58 m” make the next direction clear. You can open the map whenever you need it. COMPARE THE PLAN WITH YOUR ACTUAL PATH The planned loop appears in cyan and your walked path in coral. WanderOrb also lets you know when you move away from the loop. TURN EVERY WALK INTO ROUTE ART Finish a walk and its trace becomes a unique visual memory. Date, time, distance, mood, and route art stay on your iPhone so you can revisit past walks. BUILT WITH PRIVACY IN MIND No account, ads, or developer-operated analytics. Location is used for route creation and guidance, while walking history remains on your device. Routes and directions are suggestions. Always follow real road conditions, closures, property restrictions, and local traffic rules. Do not keep looking at the screen while walking.
