Turn everyday walks into journeys you can actually see. PathQuest uses your Apple Health steps to move a small avatar along illustrated routes and story quests, right on your Home Screen widget. No streaks. No leaderboards. No noisy pressure. Just a calm reason to enjoy watching your steps add up. β HOW IT WORKS β Choose a journey. Walk as usual. Follow your progress along a unique illustrated path on your Home Screen widget. Complete stages. Reach the finish. Start another. Explore journeys inspired by real routes and imagined worlds: the Camino de Santiago, the 88-temple Shikoku pilgrimage, the Storm March across windswept moors, or a hidden academy at the edge of the woods. β FEATURES β β’ Automatic step tracking via Apple Health β no manual logging β’ A calm Home Screen widget β your journey, always visible β’ Illustrated paths and milestones for every journey β’ A Collection that grows with you: every completed fantasy quest earns a unique coin β’ Designed for iPhone, with a calm, nature-inspired palette β’ Private iCloud sync across devices (Voyager) β’ Up to three active journeys at once (Voyager) β’ Hero Mode and extended routes for deeper journeys (Voyager) β’ Built for hands-free use β works with VoiceOver and Voice Control across the entire app β’ No ads.

Replay them in Hero Mode to unlock Hero variants, and uncover hidden conditions to reveal secret ones. Build a Collection that records where your steps have taken you. β PATHQUEST VOYAGER β Unlock the full journey library. The free version of PathQuest includes one active journey and a starter library. Voyager unlocks the full experience: every route, every story quest, private iCloud sync, Hero Mode, extended routes, and up to three active journeys at once. β PRIVACY β PathQuest reads only the steps and walking distance you allow through Apple Health, and uses them to advance your journeys. Your Apple Health data stays on your device. If you enable iCloud sync, your app progress is stored in your private iCloud account. We canβt see your iCloud data, and we donβt sell your data. β ABOUT β PathQuest is built independently for people who like walking, stories, and apps that don't yell.
