Just a quick daily check-in that helps you stay honest, stay aware, and build consistency over time. Use Clean Days to: - Log each day in a tap - Track clean, mixed, or cheat days - See your calendar fill over time - Notice weekend drift more easily - Review stats, streaks, and day-by-day consistency - Add reason tags like Weekend, Social, Stress, or Ate Out - Personalize your labels and icon style - Set reminders to stay on track Clean Days is built for people who want a simple way to stay aware of their good and off days without turning food tracking into a full-time job. Progress is not about one perfect week. It’s about noticing your days and improving over time.

Every walk holds something waiting to be noticed. A walking companion for those who walk with intention, whether across a continent or around the block. No leaderboards. No calorie goals. No social feeds. Just you, the path, and whatever arises. WALK GPS tracking with live pace, steps, altitude, and waypoint marking. A three-way breakdown shows how each walk splits between walking, talking, and meditating, because those are different states of attention. Lock the screen and keep going; a Live Activity holds it there. SEEK For days you want to be led. Choose a duration, set an intention, and Pilgrim hides clearings in fog on your map: places you didn't choose, shaped by your question and the hour you set out. A quiet pulse guides you: a sonar ping in your pocket, a crescent of light on the map. Reach the fog and be still, and the way continues. Found places return in your summary glowing with the light of the hour you reached them. HONOR Follow a path someone else laid down: a walk a friend shared, one of your own walked again, or a stage of the Camino, the Kumano Kodō, or Shikoku's eighty-eight temples. Their voices arrive where they were spoken, and you can answer in the same place. Save the maps before you go and the way holds with no signal at all. LEAVE A WHISPER Leave an ephemeral audio message at your location for others to find. Choose from seven energies (presence, lightness, wonder, gratitude, compassion, courage, stillness) and set how long it lingers: a day, a week, a month. Walk near someone else's and it plays softly, a voice from a stranger who passed this way. PLACE A STONE Start or grow a cairn as you walk. Cairns are permanent, evolving through seven tiers as pilgrims add stones, from a faint mark to an eternal cairn of 108. Each tier carries its own kanji and meaning. Walk to one to see who has been here before you. RECORD Tap to capture a voice note at any moment, timestamped and pinned to your location. After the walk, everything is transcribed on your device using WhisperKit. No audio ever leaves your phone. GATHER YOUR RELICS Photos from a walk appear in a carousel on your summary, gathered from Apple Photos by time and GPS. Pin one and it becomes a circular thumbnail anchored to exactly where you stood: on your map, your walk page, and inside .pilgrim exports. Nothing is copied or uploaded, only referenced. Opt-in, default off. REFLECT Six styles of writing prompts (contemplative, reflective, creative, gratitude, philosophical, journaling), generated on-device from your own words, walk context, and pinned photos. Copy them into your writing tool of choice and turn a walk into writing. MEDITATE A meditation mode with an animated breathing circle and customizable rhythms. Downloadable voice guide packs offer spoken prompts during stillness. Ambient soundscapes accompany the practice. Meditation time is tracked separately, alongside walk time. PILGRIM COLLECTS GOSHUIN In Japan, pilgrims collect vermilion ink stamps at temples along a route. Pilgrim generates a digital seal for each walk from its own data: distance, duration, weather, elevation. Milestones press their own seals for a first walk and a first unknown. Your collection grows with your practice. YOUR WALK IS YOURS ALONE Everything stays on your device, transcription included. No accounts, no analytics, no behavioral profiling. Delete the app and your data goes with it, unless you exported it first. An anonymous counter, with no accounts or identifiers, tracks how far pilgrims have walked together and crosses milestones as it goes: the Camino, the Shikoku 88, the length of Japan. Weather awareness via WeatherKit. Moon phases and planetary hours woven into the walk context. Seasonal color shifts calibrated to your hemisphere. Export as .pilgrim packages. Share walks as ephemeral web pages or hand-painted etegami postcards. View your journey at view.pilgrimapp.org. Open source. Free forever. No subscriptions. pilgrimapp.org
