The best time to walk today. We'll tell you. Walk Window is the walking weather app for people who walk for health. Tell it when you usually walk, and it finds the stretch of your day when the weather is kind, then says so in one plain word. You stop checking the forecast. You just go. ONE WORD FOR EVERY HOUR Head out. Good. Fair. Stay in. Every hour and every window gets one word, and it is the same word wherever you see it: on the Walk tab, on the forecast, on your planned walk, in the morning note. Nothing to decode. WHEN YOU WALK Pick the parts of the day that fit your life: dawn, morning, midday, afternoon, evening. Your windows stay inside them. Rather walk in the light? Daylight only keeps every suggestion between sunrise and sunset. A QUIET NOTE EACH MORNING One note at the time you choose, with the day's best time to walk and the one thing worth knowing about it. Plan a walk and we'll remind you before it, and tell you if the weather changes its mind. PLAN IT IN A TAP Swipe through the week's best windows, today and tomorrow first. Plan one, then move it in quarter-hour steps if your morning shifts. Connect your calendar if you like, and busy hours stay out of the way. FOR DOG WALKS, TOO Heat that's fine for your feet can burn paws. Tell us your dog's size, and Walk Window watches hot pavement for you: every window says whether paws are fine, and an hour too hot for paws is never suggested. On warm days the morning note leads with the paws. SAYS WHEN TO STAY IN Storms, heavy rain and dangerous heat get a plain "Stay in." No alarms, no charts. FOR WALKERS, NOT CONTESTS No streaks. No leaderboards. No step goals. No coach voice. Walk Window is for the morning walker, the evening stroller, the after-dinner regular: the walks that count toward your health. Try Walk Window free for 7 days. After that, $3.99 per month or $19.99 per year. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. Subscription automatically renews unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Walk Window uses your location for the forecast where you live. Calendar and Apple Health are optional. We don't sell your information. Privacy Policy: https://walkwindowapp.com/privacy Terms of Use: https://walkwindowapp.com/terms
