Interval walking is the scientifically proven, low-impact method to boost cardiovascular health, burn calories, and build endurance without stressing your joints. Interval Walking - Splits provides the cleanest, distraction-free interval coaching experience on iOS. Designed specifically for the Japanese interval walking method (alternating fast and moderate walking paces), our app keeps you focused on your stride with clear audio cues, precise split metrics, and zero intrusive ads. WHY INTERVAL WALKING? Studies show that alternating between 3 minutes of brisk walking and 3 minutes of moderate walking yields superior fitness and blood pressure improvements compared to continuous steady walking. KEY FEATURES - Audio Coaching & Haptic Wrist Alerts: Gentle audio chimes and watch vibrations prompt you the exact second to accelerate and recover without looking at your screen. - Standalone Apple Watch App: Feel every phase transition on your wrist with haptic feedback, live pace, heart rate, and split metrics—no phone needed. - Custom Interval Programs: Set custom walk/rest durations, split targets, and warm-up/cool-down periods in seconds. - Offline & Private: No mandatory account creation, no tracking, and no cloud requirement. Your workout data stays on your device and syncs securely via Apple Health. - Battery-Efficient Background Tracking: Track outdoor walks with low-power GPS and indoor treadmill sessions with step cadence. - Full Apple Health & Fitness Integration: Automatically writes workouts, active calories, and heart rate data to Apple Health. NO SUBSCRIPTION TRAPS Unlike bloated fitness apps with confusing paywalls and full-screen mid-workout ads, Interval Walking - Splits gives you a reliable, ad-free training companion built for daily consistency. Start your fast-and-slow interval walking routine today and experience the difference in every step!

Same city. New adventures. We all have our usual walks. The same turn, the same block, the same way home. Color My Walk gives you a fresh walk from your door, along streets you haven't walked, and lets your city fill with color as you go. HOW IT WORKS • Choose how far: steps, miles, minutes or calories. • Get a loop that starts and ends at your door. Want a different one? It's a tap away. • Follow turn-by-turn directions. Your phone can stay in your pocket: the app records your walk with the screen off and lets you know before the next turn. • Watch the streets find their color. Every walk gets its own. GREEN, WATER OR QUIET Choose what your walk should follow: parks and green paths, shores and piers, or streets away from traffic. The map shows where along the walk it does. Walking themed walks is part of Pro. YOUR MAP Your next walk picks streets you haven't walked. Street by street, a map of your discoveries grows. Your profile shows how far you've gone, how much of it was new ground, and every place you've walked, drawn as the pattern your own walks have made. FREE TO TRY Heading out without a drawn walk and watching the streets fill with color is always free. Your first five drawn walks are free too, and a walk only counts once you've gone about 1,000 feet. After that you keep drawing new walks with a subscription, which you can cancel any time. SUBSCRIPTION Color My Walk Pro is available as a monthly or yearly subscription. It renews automatically and is charged to your Apple Account unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the period. You can manage and cancel it in your App Store settings.
