Walking Loop

Track every walk on a live map โ€” route, distance, pace and time, all saved the moment you finish. Walking Loop is built for one thing: making an ordinary walk visible. No account, no sign-in, no social feed. Tap start, walk your loop, and the map draws your path while distance, pace and elapsed time update as you go. Finish, and the walk drops into your history with its own route map โ€” so a week of "I went for a walk" turns into a chart you can actually read. WHAT YOU GET - A live map that traces your route while you walk, with distance, pace and time on screen - Every walk saved to history with its own route map, duration and stats - Week and month distance charts that show whether you are really moving more - Weekly goal rings for walks, kilometers and streak, plus a daily step goal you set yourself - Personal bests for longest walk, fastest pace and best streak, updated automatically - A library of 5 ready-made loop walks graded Easy, Moderate or Challenging for days you don't want to plan PERFECT FOR - Anyone rebuilding a daily walking habit after a long break - Dog owners and commuters who want their everyday loops to count - Walkers who want distance and pace without a running app shouting at them - People who want a private walk log with no feed, no friends list, no comparison WHY NOT JUST USE THE HEALTH APP? Health knows you moved. It does not show you the path you took, group your outings week by week, or put your streak in front of you at the exact moment you are deciding whether to head out. Walking Loop gives you one screen for the walk and one screen for the proof โ€” and that second screen is what keeps the habit alive. PRIVACY Every walk, route and goal stays on your iPhone. No account, no server, no ads, no tracking profile. Location is used only while you are recording a walk, and your routes never leave the device. FULL ACCESS Premium unlocks the whole app: live route tracking on the map, unlimited saved walks and history, weekly goals and streaks, progress charts, personal bests and the curated loop library. Choose a weekly plan, a yearly plan, or a one-time lifetime purchase โ€” the lifetime option is a single payment with no renewal. Subscriptions are charged to your Apple ID and renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; you can manage or cancel them any time in your Apple ID settings. Tap Start Walk today and put your first loop on the map. Terms of Use (EULA): https://web-levi.web.app/terms Privacy Policy: https://web-levi.web.app/privacy-policy Questions? tphuc.work@gmail.com
