About this app

Walk every block in New York City. WalkNYC checks off each block as you walk it on an interactive map across all five boroughs. Set goals by borough, watch your coverage grow, and see how you stack up against other New Yorkers on the leaderboard.

BACKGROUND TRACKING
WalkNYC marks off your blocks without you opening the app. GPS only turns on when your pedometer detects you're walking, so battery use stays low (less than 3% per day).

PRIVACY
Your walks stay on your device. Servers only ever see aggregate stats: total blocks, total distance, walking time. GPS coordinates never leave your phone. There's no sign-up, no account, no name unless you choose to set one for the leaderboard.

LEADERBOARD
See how you stack up against other New Yorkers by blocks — today, this week, this month, this year, or all time.

WALK HISTORY
Every walk is saved with its full path, timestamps, distance, and walking time. Open one to replay it on the map.

STATS
Daily, weekly, and monthly charts for distance, walking time, new blocks, and steps.

FREE
No accounts, no subscriptions, no ads, no in-app purchases.
Track the blocks you've walked
