How it works

Three taps.
One great walk.

1

Set your goal

Choose a walk duration, a distance, or let WalkBuddy track both — whichever comes first. Presets for the most common walks are right there. Enter a custom goal in seconds.

2

Start walking

The progress ring fills in real time. Your phone tracks steps and distance using its built-in motion sensor. No GPS drain. No account required. Just walk.

3

The alarm fires — turn around

At exactly 50% of your goal, WalkBuddy sounds an alarm and shows a full-screen alert. Turn around now, and you'll arrive home right on target. No more guessing. No more overshots.

4

Walk complete

A second alarm confirms you've hit your goal. Your summary shows total time, distance, steps, and % of goal completed — exactly what your vet keeps asking about.


Built for real walks

Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.

🔔

Halfway-point alarm

The feature no fitness app has. A dedicated alarm at exactly 50% tells you when to turn around — audible, full-screen, impossible to miss.

Time + Distance goals

Set a time goal, a distance goal, or both — whichever you hit first ends the walk. Presets for the most common walks are one tap away.

👟

Step & distance tracking

Uses your phone's accelerometer — no GPS required. Conserves battery. Works with your screen locked.

📵

No account, no install

Opens in your browser like any other website. Nothing to download. Your dog doesn't care about app stores — neither do you.

Pause & resume

Stop for a sniff break, a chat with a neighbor, or a bathroom visit. Paused time doesn't count. Your goal stays accurate.

🐾

Made for dog owners

Not a running app repackaged. Every detail is designed for a single hand, a leash in the other, and a dog setting the pace.
