A modern, lightning-fast, and user-friendly Android app (.apk) designed to help you track your walks, set personal goals, and keep track of them. The app is built with a focus on a beautiful, responsive design and a seamless mobile user experience.
Note: WalkGoal does not use your phone's GPS to automatically track your walks. You must use another device (like a smartwatch or another tracking app) to record your distance and then manually log it in WalkGoal.
- 📊 Dashboard: Get a full overview of your daily, weekly, and monthly progress directly on the front page.
- 🎯 Goals: Set personal goals for how much you want to walk per week, month, and year, and track how close you are to reaching them.
- 📝 Log Walk: Easy and quick logging of the distance you've walked on your latest trips.
- 📅 History: Coming in the next version.
- ⚙️ Settings: Customize the app to your needs and easily delete your data.
- 📱 Android App (.apk): Built as a native app via Capacitor, ready to install on your Android phone.
WalkGoal is built with a 100% focus on your privacy:
- No Server: The app sends no data, logs, or personal information to a cloud server.
- Your Data is Yours: Everything you enter (how far you walk, times, goals, etc.) is saved locally on your own phone. No one else but you has access to it.
- Remember Backups: Because the data is only on your device, it is very important that you regularly use the app's built-in "Backup" feature ("Export Data" in Settings). If you lose your phone or delete the app, your data is gone unless you have a backup file!
- Future Account Management: We are considering adding some form of account management in the future. Because this would require an online server (and thus go against the app's current core philosophy of 100% local data storage), it hasn't been finally decided yet. If it is ever developed, it will most likely be introduced as an active, voluntary choice (opt-in), so you can continue to use the app 100% locally and privately if you prefer.
