Read full descriptionHide full description
Tap once and get a fresh walking loop that starts and ends right where you're standing. Pick how long you have, from 15 minutes to 2 hours, and go. Made for a lunchtime stroll, a daily lap of your neighborhood or sightseeing in a new city. No planning, no dead ends, no walking back the way you came. Random Walk plans each loop with Apple Maps walking directions and sizes it to your pace (easy, normal or brisk). MAP EVERY STREET YOU'VE WALKED • Every walk drawn as a line on a real map, with the rest of your city under fog • Bring years of past walks from Apple Health, or import GPX files from other apps • See how many km² of your neighborhood you've explored, and what's new this week • Milestones from your first 0.1 km² to your whole neighborhood • Share a card of the streets you've walked around home • New ground loops head straight for the blank parts of your map CHOOSE A THEME • Wander – a fresh loop in a random direction • Green – nature nearby: parks, water and trees • Coffee – past a café, about halfway around • Sights – a mini city tour via museums, landmarks and viewpoints • New ground – streets you've never walked Every loop shows its distance, time, how much of it is new ground, and its stops. Not feeling it? Shuffle for another. WALK WITHOUT STARING AT YOUR PHONE • Turn cues like "Turn left" before each corner • A different haptic for each direction, so you can feel the next turn in your pocket • An off-route warning if you drift from the line • Keeps following your loop by GPS with the screen locked • Live Activity on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island • Finishes on its own when you're back at the start A JOURNAL THAT KEEPS YOU GOING • Day streak and best streak • Totals for distance, time on foot and area explored • A fog-of-war map that clears everywhere you've walked • A weekly quest set against your own best week • Every walk saved with its map, plus a share card for your favorites • Milestones on every summary: first walk, new best streak, longest walk • An optional daily reminder, skipped on days you've already walked APPLE HEALTH Random Walk works with the Health app, and both ways are optional. Turn on "Save walks to Health" to save each finished walk as an outdoor walking workout with its route. Or import your past walking, hiking and running workouts with their routes to fill in your map. Everything stays on your iPhone. ALWAYS ONE TAP AWAY • Streak widget for the Home Screen and Lock Screen • Siri and Shortcuts: say "Find a loop in Random Walk" FREE TO START, NO ACCOUNT, NO ADS Wander loops, your journal, streaks and your home-area stats are free. Random Walk Pro adds the full street map, every theme, unlimited loops and walks up to 2 hours. Pro is a yearly subscription with a 7-day free trial, or monthly. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel them in your Apple Account settings. Head outside and let the loop surprise you. Terms of Use: https://walk.dautovri.com/terms Privacy Policy: https://walk.dautovri.com/privacy
Loop Walk
Read full descriptionHide full description
Walk out the door, pick a distance, and go wherever you feel like. Loop Walk tells you when to turn around, so you finish right back where you started, at the distance you wanted. No pre-planned routes. No turn-by-turn directions. Loop Walk is a distance-budget keeper: you set the goal, you choose every turn, and the app quietly does the math in the background. HOW IT WORKS 1. Set a goal: 3 km, 5 km, 10, whatever today calls for. 2. Start from anywhere and wander freely. 3. At 85% of your budget, a gentle heads-up tells you to start thinking about heading back. 4. At 100%, a clear haptic says: turn around now. 5. Gone over? A third nudge keeps the overshoot honest. 6. Finish near your starting point, right on target. KEY FEATURES - Walk, run, or ride, with workouts saved to Apple Health - Glanceable live screen: distance covered, time, and distance from start - Smart turn-around point that accounts for the real walking route home, not the straight line - Haptics and notifications work with the phone in your pocket and the screen off - History with route-shape glyphs and a map of every finished loop - Apple Watch companion: alerts on your wrist, standalone starts when the phone stays home PRIVATE BY DESIGN - No account, no ads, no subscriptions, no analytics SDKs - Your workouts and history stay on your device - The one network call is to Apple Maps, used a handful of times per walk to refine the turn-around estimate, under Apple's privacy policy Not a route generator. Not a navigator. Just freedom with a distance budget. Set a goal and step outside. Loop Walk will tell you when to come home. You can find the Terms of Use here: http://www.tensortech.nl/apps/tandc
