About this app

Welcome to the Outbound - a platform designed to help you improve your health through everyday sunshine, sweat, and adventure.

OUR MISSION

Modern life is gradually destroying our natural balance.

In an increasingly digital world, we’re moving less, becoming more isolated, and spending more time indoors than any generation before us. Our mental and physical health are paying the price.

Research suggests a surprisingly simple truth:

NATURE AND MOVEMENT ARE OUR BEST DEFENSE AGAINST THE STRESS OF MODERN LIFE.

Just 20 minutes of outdoor exercise is proven to make you feel better and improve your health - for a tiny fraction of what you might spend on trendy 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 platform helps you build an everyday, simple habit of outdoor activity. By keeping things simple, aligning incentives, and building a gentle support system, people are empowered to get back outside - moving, thriving, and reaching their full potential.

ā–ŗ Our goal is to help you feel better everyday. ā–ŗ

No pressure, no comparisons.
Progress over perfection.

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.

It's a really cool app and great for getting an idea of where you wanna do some walking or adventuring however, i wish there was a way to Manually add trails or suggest trails. My usual trail isn't on here and I don't always remember to track it.
