ShadeWalk: Shady Walk Routes

Beat the summer heat: walk the same distance with less time in direct sun.
ShadeWalk is a walking app that turns building shadows and the sun's position into shadier walking routes, then keeps your steps and walk history together.

● Compare minutes in the sun
Set a start and destination to compare shade-first, shortest, and balanced routes. Route cards show sun exposure and detour time, while the map marks nearby heat shelters. The time slider previews how shadows move through the day.

● ShadeWalk for your travels
Tokyo, Paris, Barcelona, Sydney. Find shaded walking routes in the cities you explore on foot. Nationwide South Korea plus Japan, France, Spain, and Australia are supported, and when reliable shadow data is unavailable, ShadeWalk says so instead of guessing.

● Search places, stations, and exits
Search a place, station, landmark, or exit, then check its pin and distance before planning. Zoom in for station exit numbers and search phrases such as “Gangnam Station Exit 7” or “Hakata Nishi 4.”

● Save, search, and share frequent routes
Keep routes you created and routes shared with you in separate library sections. Search them by name, share a link, and save a received route only after reviewing it. Shade is recalculated for the time you walk.

● Step counter and walk history
Review today's steps, distance, time, calories, and weekly activity. Connect fitness data through Health Connect. During guidance, an ongoing notification keeps progress visible.

● UV index and heat wave alerts
In South Korea, destination-based UV, heat-wave, and tropical-night information appears when complete data is available. Missing or partial server data stays hidden.

● Honest shadow estimates
Shadows are estimates based on registered building heights and floors, street trees where available, the sun's position, and the selected time. Missing data and estimated heights are clearly marked. Shade scoring and original walk records are processed on-device. To improve the app, we collect non-sensitive usage statistics; precise location, search content, walk records, and health data are never sent. Map, search, route, air-quality, and weather requests may send related coordinates to Google or Kakao.

Stay cool on hot summer days: find shade, save the walk, and take it again tomorrow.
