Walk Off Friends

A new real route every Monday, from London to Brighton to the Hoover Dam. You and your friends walk the same road all week. No ads, no trackers, no public feed.

Walk Off Friends turns your week of walking into a trip along a real route, raced with your friends.

Every Monday a new route begins, like London to Brighton, Red Rock Canyon to the Hoover Dam, or Atlantic City to Philadelphia. Your Apple Health distance carries you along it, mile for mile, and your friends walk the same road beside you. By Sunday the leaderboard is a map: who made the pier, who's still in the hills.

Sign in with Apple and add friends with a six-character invite code. No email, no phone number, no accounts to manage. Your walking unlocks more than rankings:

• THE WEEKLY ROUTE — Home is an illustrated panorama of this week's route, drawn to its true length. Scroll the road to find your walker and every friend at their own distance, past real landmarks and your trophy gates, under a sky that follows the route's local time and weather.

• WEEKLY WALK-OFF — The Monday-to-Sunday leaderboard for you and your friends, plus Global Standings to see where you rank among every walker.

• TROPHIES — Bronze, Silver, Gold and Diamond each week, sealed when the week ends. Build a cabinet, or after four weeks switch to a ladder tuned to your own walking.

• YOUR WALKER — Choose the figure that walks the route for you, and earn new bodies, colors and hats by sealing trophies, winning races and matches, clearing maze levels and reaching landmarks.

• THE HUNT — A seasonal list of things to spot on a walk. Photograph a find to share it with your friends, collect their reactions and comments, and fill in your season's collection.

• MAIL DELIVERY — A retro pixel-art maze where real-world walking earns the moves you spend delivering the mail. Climb eleven levels, from summer through winter into the night.

• CROSSED LETTERS — A head-to-head word match for two. Your walking buys letters from a shared bag; whoever turns them into more points wins.

• JOURNEYS — Found a ship with friends and walk the real 5,957 km from Troy to Ithaca together. Pool your distance, make landfall at fourteen story waypoints, and leave messages in the captain's log.

• RACES — Create a race along a real route, Boston to New York or your street to the sea, add friends to it, and drop notes along the way for them to find.

No ads, no trackers, no email, and the app never asks for your location. We store what the app needs to run: your display name, your daily step and distance totals, and what you create to share with friends, like hunt photos, comments and races. Shared hunt photos are compressed thumbnails, stripped of location and other metadata, that only your friends can see; the originals never leave your phone. You can delete your account and its data at any time, from inside the app.

Requires an iPhone with Apple Health and an Apple ID.
