MOVE WITHOUT OVERTHINKING Choose a goal and start moving. Wayrix creates routes based on what you want to do — hit a step goal, walk a certain distance, cycle for a set amount of time, or simply stay active throughout the day. You can also start a free walk anytime without setting a route or goal. Just open the app and move while your activity, steps, distance, and progress are tracked automatically. No complicated setup. Just choose what feels right and go. MADE FOR THE WAY YOU MOVE Walking and cycling feel different, so the experience adapts to the activity you choose. • Walking focuses on steps, movement, and daily goals. • Cycling focuses on distance, ride time, and momentum. Everything is designed to stay clean, simple, and easy to use while moving. A COMPANION THAT GROWS WITH YOU Every walk helps you earn eggs that hatch into pets — some common, some rare, and all waiting to be discovered. Build your collection over time and unlock more as you stay active and consistent. A small reward system designed to make movement feel more alive. RACE ON ROUTES Take on friends, challenge yourself, or race against virtual opponents on routes. • Race against your own previous attempts and beat your personal best. • Challenge friends using their recorded route performances. • Compete against virtual opponents designed to match your pace. No need to start together. Races are based on recorded activity, allowing you to compete whenever it suits your schedule. Push your pace, improve your times, and see how you compare on every route.
