Foray turns going out into a personal record book. Built for people with agoraphobia and anxiety — but useful for anyone who wants to track how far they go, how long they're out, and how it felt. When you cross outside a small radius around home, Foray quietly starts an outing. It tracks distance, duration, your route, and your high scores. When you come back, you'll see a leaderboard of your past forays, growing with you. GENTLE TOOLS WHEN YOU NEED THEM • Heading Home — a full-screen compass arrow pointing back, with a one-tap "I'm Safe" button • Breathe — a simple breathing animation for hard moments • Manual start, end, or cancel — geofences aren't perfect • Pin Safe Spots on the map — places you trust YOUR PROGRESS • Live map view of your current outing • Distance, duration, and best-so-far stats • Personal high-score leaderboard, sortable • Mood + notes per outing • Streaks (with a one-day grace period) • Milestones to celebrate firsts CHAPTERS Setbacks happen. Start a new chapter when you need a fresh slate. Your past outings get bundled into the chapter you're closing — still browsable any time, but they won't count toward your current records. FORAY+ — OPTIONAL UPGRADE For when you want more: • Live Activity & Dynamic Island • Home-screen widget • iCloud sync across your devices • Patterns view (time of day, day of week, distance bands) • Goals + smart notifications when you hit them • Unlimited safe spots and chapters • Apple Health integration $1.99/month or $9.99/year, both with a 14-day free trial. Lifetime $19.99 with Family Sharing. PRIVACY • Your location stays on your device (or in your private iCloud) • Nothing is shared with anyone, ever • No ads, no third-party trackers, no analytics Foray will never paywall the tools you might need in a rough moment. Heading Home, Breathing, manual control, basic tracking, mood, notes, and the leaderboard will always be free. — Foray is not medical advice or treatment. If you're struggling, please talk to a healthcare professional. You deserve support that goes beyond an app. — Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
