From “I want to walk” to a recorded route
Daily Wander connects the part before a walk with the record afterward. Choose how far or how long you want to walk, compare generated loops from your current location, then start the route you prefer.
During the walk, the app follows your progress. After you finish, open History to review the recorded route map, distance, time, steps, and other available activity details.
- Allow location access when you want a route from where you are.
- Choose a distance, time window, or preferred direction.
- Compare loop routes and select one to start walking.
- Finish the walk and review its map and activity details in History.
Route history
How to see your walking route on iPhone
After a completed walk, open Daily Wander's History and select the walk you want to review. When a GPS trace was recorded, the detail view shows the route on a map alongside the walk's available metrics.
If route coordinates are unavailable, the saved activity can still retain details such as distance, duration, steps, and date. Location and Health permissions remain under your control in iOS.
- Open History after finishing a recorded walk.
- Select a walk to see its route map when GPS data is available.
- Review distance, duration, steps, and other saved details.
- Use previous routes and streaks to plan the next walk.
Choosing an iPhone walking app
What makes the best walking app for your needs?
The best choice depends on whether you need a route, a workout record, destination directions, or only a step count. Daily Wander is designed for people who want route planning and walk history in the same iPhone workflow.
Route before the walk
Generate several round-trip routes instead of starting from a blank map or inventing every turn.
Recorded route afterward
Review the GPS route map for a completed walk when route data was recorded.
Walking details together
Keep distance, duration, steps, streaks, and completed-walk history in one place.
Free download
Start with the free iPhone download. Premium is optional and adds extra features.
Optional Apple Health
Use the Apple Health walking app workflow only when you grant permission in iOS.
Not an A-to-B map
Use a destination map for the fastest route to a known place. Daily Wander focuses on generated walks that return near the start.
