Walking Tracker vs THALK

Footnotes is your walking journal. Every walk is quietly tracked (route, steps, distance, weather) and every thought along the way is saved: voice notes transcribed to text, photos pinned to the exact spot, short written notes. One-time purchase, no subscription. Private by design. Start a walk from the Home Screen widget, keep an eye on it in the Live Activity, and add a note without unlocking your phone. Later, export any walk as a Markdown page with its GPX route, ready for your notes app or your maps. Not sure yet? Open the sample walk and see what a finished walk looks like before you take your first one. Unlike fitness apps, Footnotes avoids cluttered metrics, calorie counts, or competitive goals. It's not about performance or social validation, it's about reflection, presence, and the simple pleasure of walking. A one-time purchase, not another subscription. For the price of a coffee, you get lifetime access to Footnotes, including all future updates and features. No recurring fees. No hidden plans. Your walks and thoughts belong to you, and so does the app. Privacy first. Always. Your routes, notes, and photos never leave your iPhone and your own iCloud. There is no account, no login, and no Footnotes server holding your memories. Sync between devices happens privately through iCloud, only if you want it. Your feedback truly matters, so please consider leaving a rating or sharing suggestions for future updates. We'd love to hear from you! Footnotes is your walking diary: a companion for mindful walking and reflective thinking, where steps meet thoughts.

Some of your clearest thinking happens on a walk. Thalk is a walking journal that captures the moment: where you went, what you heard, and what was on your mind. Start a Thalk, and your route is tracked, your song is tagged from Apple Music, and your thoughts have a place to live. Years from now, you'll open a memory and remember exactly who you were that day. WHAT YOU CAN DO Track your walk with GPS and see your route on a map Tag the song you're listening to from Apple Music, and listen to it right in the app Name your walks, and add photos, voice memos, or thoughts, during or after Discover the artist behind the song, and when it came out Share a walk as a beautiful card in six styles, with your private thoughts kept private Browse your history by year and month Revisit a random memory every day on your home screen Get daily inspiration: a poem, a book, and an artist Free. No account. Everything stays on your phone. Think. Walk. Thalk about it.
