Big arrow. Live distance. That's it. Waypnt is navigation without the noise. Pick a destination and get a single arrow pointing straight to it — then watch the distance shrink as you walk, bike, or drive. No maps, no turn-by-turn, no recalculating. Search for places, pull from recent destinations, or send a pin straight from Apple Maps. Sync to Apple Watch and navigate at a glance. For city wanderers, travelers, and anyone who just needs to know: that way.
