Loop Walk

Read 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

Most training apps are built for the road and then have a mountain photo slapped on the icon. Summit Line is the other way around. It's built for trail and ultra from the ground up. This is for the runners counting vert instead of just miles, doing cutoff math in their heads at 2am, and trying to figure out how many carbs an hour they can actually keep down at mile 60. Tell it your goal race and it builds you a real plan. Week by week, workout by workout, worked back from race day and shaped around the fitness you've actually got right now. Your watch syncs your runs in and the plan adjusts, so it keeps up as you get fitter, or as work and life get in the way. Every morning you get a straight read on where you stand: fresh, flat, or digging yourself into a hole. No hype, no confetti for getting out of bed. Just the number and what it means for the run in front of you. And it handles the stuff that actually matters once the trail tips up: grade-adjusted pace so a climb can't lie to you, fueling and pacing set for your race instead of a road marathon, and your fitness, fatigue, and form tracked across the whole build. Free to start. Point it at a race and you'll have your plan today.
