About this app

Welcome to the Outbound - a simple, everyday companion designed to help you improve your health through consistent outdoor activity and time in nature.

OUR MISSION

Modern life is destroying our natural balance.

In an increasingly digital world, we’re moving less, spending more time indoors, and becoming more isolated than any generation before us. The average American now spends more than 90% of their life indoors and sits for 9.5 hours/day.

Our health is paying a steep price.

48% of all American adults have heart disease, 18% are depressed, and 19% have anxiety. It's even worse for young adults.

But research suggests a surprisingly simple (and affordable) truth:

OUTDOOR ACTIVITY AND NATURE ARE THE ANTIDOTE TO THE STRESS OF MODERN LIFE.

Just 20 minutes of moderate outdoor activity is proven to decrease the risk of heart disease, reduce depression, and decrease anxiety.

Just 120 minutes/week of time in nature reduces stress, boosts your mood, and increases your odds of good health - all for a tiny fraction of what you might spend on expensive gadgets, supplements, or a gym membership.

Your health doesn't need to be hacked, it's right outside your door.

That's why we built the Outbound.

► Our goal is to help you feel better everyday. ►

By keeping things simple, aligning incentives, and building a gentle support system, we help everyone get back to nature - moving, thriving, and reaching their full potential.

No competition, no comparisons.
Progress over perfection.

HOW IT WORKS

MEASURE YOUR MOVEMENT. We help users keep track of their active time outside - tracking neighborhood walks, navigating hiking trails, and keeping a history of their effort and progress over time. Perfect for every level of fitness - it’s designed to support you at your own pace. Tracked activities include walking, strolling, hiking, bird watching, backpacking, running, paddling, mountain biking and more...

BUILD CONSISTENCY. With customized goals, challenges, and gentle nudges, we continually encourage your effort and transform the burden of accountability into an experience that's attainable and fun.

EARN EXCLUSIVE REWARDS. We convert your outdoor activity into rewards points. Once you earn enough points, you'll unlock 50% off discounts for hundreds of your favorite outdoor and active lifestyle brands.

Ratings and reviews

Unusable unless you pay. I installed the app and created a "free" account after finding a hike online that I wanted to try. But unless you pay for the service, you don't get any instructions, just directions to the trailhead. I have no idea where to go once I get there, so I am guaranteed to get lost. I thought it looked like a better alternative to AllTrails but it is so much worse.

Awesome content but I am so tired of the login logout thing not working right. Everytime I open the app it will ask me to login again. No. Keep me logged in. (it also didnt ask me to confirm my password when i signed up, sketch and i tried to use the fb login, it said it worked but then just sat on the page doing nothing, i gave up) Content kept yall from a 3 star.

Love that I can find things to do outdoors whenever I want:) being in nature is my therapy haha I would give five stars but I wish that we could make more wish lists under different titles and it would be nice if we could single out water features in our search. These two things would make it five stars for me.
