FitWalk

A walking app that routes you through the green bits.

iOS and Android, built in React Native. Ours, and still shipping.

Someone walking a tree-lined park path, holding a phone showing their FitWalk route and 6,032 steps.

What it is

Most step apps count. This one plans.

A pedometer tells you what you already did. FitWalk works out where you should go — it builds a route from your own front door and scores the options on how much green space they actually pass through, using real park and woodland boundaries rather than a guess.

Then it drops coins and gems along the route, which sounds trivial and is the reason people take the longer way round. Streaks, XP and leaderboards do the rest.

The details are where the work went. The map turns from day to night on the real sunrise for where you are standing, not on the clock. Background GPS keeps counting with the screen off — a foreground service on Android, background location on iOS — because an app that stops counting in your pocket is not a walking app.

The detail

What is actually in it.

01

Routes scored on green space

Green polygons are fetched and indexed, and candidate routes are scored on how much of them run through actual parkland.

02

Collectibles along the way

Coins and gems placed on route vertices, worth XP, which is why people take the longer loop.

03

Apple Health and Health Connect

Steps read from the platform on both operating systems, so it agrees with the phone rather than arguing with it.

04

Background tracking that survives the pocket

A foreground service on Android and background location on iOS, so the walk keeps counting with the screen off.

05

A watch face and leaderboards

The walk on your wrist, and something to compete over.

Built with

The stack.

React Native on the new architecture, TypeScript, MapLibre, Supabase, MMKV, Notifee. One codebase for iOS and Android.
