I really like the idea. Seems like I'm the first walker in my city, but the concept is exactly what I wanted.

Not just tracking steps, A walking community

Walk With Me is your all-in-one walking app that lets you find walkers in your area and walk together.

  • Your friends' step counts, day by day
  • Walkers near you on a live map
  • Join or host a walk in a tap
  • Groups, challenges and ranked countries

How you actually meet people here

Meeting people while walking is not left to chance. Three simple surfaces do the work.

The feed and the map show who is out

The hardest part of meeting people is knowing who is even available. The Walk Feed shows the walks people have been out on this week, from your friends and from the wider community, and the Explore map shows what is live or scheduled near you right now. Scroll the feed to get a feel for who walks and why, then check the map for the walks that fit your mood that day. Instead of posting into the void and hoping someone replies, you are looking at real walks with real people attached, some of them already happening in your own area.

Join with a single request

You do not have to introduce yourself to a room of strangers to get started. When a walk looks right, you send one request to join, and the host approves it. That is the whole ask. The walk's pin on the public map is shifted a little, and the host's live location only goes to the people they accepted, which keeps the whole thing comfortable for everyone. It lowers the bar to almost nothing: no awkward opener, no committee to win over, just one tap that says you would like to come along, and a yes that lets you in.

From one walk to actual friends

A good walk should not be a one off. After you have walked with someone, you can add them as a friend, and the next walk gets easier because you are no longer strangers. Friends turn up in your world more often, you can message them directly, and you can set walks to be visible to friends only when you want a smaller circle. That is how a single joined walk becomes a handful of people you genuinely know, the slow and normal way friendships have always formed, just with a map to get it started.
