Features & Capabilities

Walk every block in New York City. WalkNYC checks off each block as you walk it on an interactive map across all five boroughs. Set goals by borough, watch your coverage grow, and see how you stack up against other New Yorkers on the leaderboard.

BACKGROUND TRACKING
WalkNYC marks off your blocks without you opening the app. GPS only turns on when your pedometer detects you're walking, so battery use stays low (less than 3% per day).

PRIVACY
Your walks stay on your device. Servers only ever see aggregate stats: total blocks, total distance, walking time. GPS coordinates never leave your phone. There's no sign-up, no account, no name unless you choose to set one for the leaderboard.

LEADERBOARD
See how you stack up against other New Yorkers by blocks — today, this week, this month, this year, or all time.

WALK HISTORY
Every walk is saved with its full path, timestamps, distance, and walking time. Open one to replay it on the map.

STATS
Daily, weekly, and monthly charts for distance, walking time, new blocks, and steps.

FREE
No accounts, no subscriptions, no ads, no in-app purchases.

User Reviews

Samsung Galaxy s22 ultra user. Installed this app end of July and the first week I realized I wasn't using the correct settings to keep a consistent runtime. My fault for being unobservant and forgetful by nature :') However, now my concerns echo those of other most recent reviews. It may have been the addition of the google timeline feature, which I nearly shrieked w excitement to import. Been avidly using timeline for years now. Now... it won't stop force closing every 3 seconds 😭

Absolutely love this app, it's completely changed how I navigate the city and motivates me to explore a ton. I only wish it wouldn't crash so often, particularly when I'm trying to see a walk I'm really proud of.
