ShadePath: Shade & Sun Routes

ShadePath

About this app

ShadePath finds walking, running, and dog-walking routes optimized for the weather. Cooler shaded paths in summer. Sunnier sidewalks in winter. UV, heat, wind, and shade all factored in. Senior, Stroller, and Pet Owner profiles match how you actually move.

Beat the Heat. Follow the Shade.™

Generate a comfortable route between any two addresses or an optimized loop from where you are.

The Walker persona is your everyday companion — optimized for a comfortable pace so you arrive feeling good. Switch personas to match your needs: a Pet Owner adjusts for paw-friendly conditions, Senior and Stroller personas find accessibility-friendly routes with gentler grades, and Runner and Cyclist are there when you need them.

Built for everyone who goes outside:
- Runners who train through every season
- Dog owners protecting sensitive paws
- Parents pushing strollers who need comfortable grades and nearby rest stops
- Seniors who need manageable routes with gentler terrain
- Anyone who's ever come home more exhausted than they should be

Free for everyone. No subscription. No catch.

ShadePath was built by a runner training for the Irving Half Marathon — who had to stop 9 miles into an outdoor run. Not because his body failed. Because the route did.

This app is the one that would have saved that training.

What’s new

ShadePath plans walking and running routes that match the weather. Choose a loop back to your start, or a route to a destination. Hot afternoons, it routes you under tree canopy and building shade. Cold mornings, it picks sunnier sidewalks where you'll feel warmer. Senior and Stroller profiles favor flatter ground and show a grade label. Pet Owner shows a paw safety badge based on pavement temperature. Voice navigation means you don't need to look at your phone. Your GPS stays on your device.
