About this app

Walking is one of the simplest ways to stay active and clear your head, but when your day is filled with lectures, deadlines, and group projects, finding the time for it feels like one more thing on the list.

GapWalk works by reading your schedule and identifying the windows of free time you already have. It could be 20 minutes between your morning class and a study session, a lunch break with nothing planned, or a gap before your evening lab. Instead of letting that time slip by, GapWalk turns it into a walk.

What it does

• Syncs with Google Calendar so it already knows your week
• Import your timetable via ICS file (most university portals support this)
• Set your schedule manually if you prefer keeping it simple
• Finds gaps in your day and sends you a nudge when it's time to walk
• GPS tracking with a live map so you can see your route as you go
• Tracks your steps, distance, calories, speed, and active time
• Auto-pauses when you stop moving and resumes when you start again
• Recovers your session if the app closes mid-walk
• Weekly stats, streaks, and 18 achievement badges to keep you going
• Export your walk history as a CSV if you want to dig into your data
• Works fully offline with no account required

Customize it to fit your routine

• Set your daily walk target and step goal
• Choose quiet hours so you're not nudged late at night
• Control how many notifications you get per day and how far apart they are
• Pick between dark and light theme
• Available in English and Spanish

Why it works

A short walk between classes is enough to reset your focus before an exam, and a quick loop around campus after hours in the library does more for your concentration than another coffee. What makes the difference is consistency. Ten minutes here, fifteen there, repeated across a full semester adds up to hundreds of kilometres and a routine that holds because it was built around your life from the start.

You don't need a gym or a free hour. You just need a gap.
