I built Shape Walk because step counts got boring. Pick a shape — square, spiral, heart, star — and the app maps it onto your neighborhood. Follow the GPS route through real streets, feel the haptic at each turn, close the loop.
15 shapes to choose from. The app scales each one to a real walking distance, drops waypoint markers at every corner, and tracks you in the background with the screen off. Your walk becomes something you actually made, not just a number that accumulated.
Every completed shape syncs to Apple Health and lands in your trace collection — a record of actual things you did. Browse old routes, revisit shapes, share a screenshot when you nail a tricky one.
Free to start. 7-day Pro trial included.

I'm an entrepreneur, iOS developer, digital nomad and writer splitting my time between Europe (Portugal) and Asia (currently Vietnam). I code since 1987 (started on Z80 processors) and got into AI in 2019, before ChatGPT made it cool.
After years of trying every task management system, I built addTaskManager to solve my own chaos.
Previously founded multiple startups, wrote extensively about personal development, financial resilience and meaningful relationships, and discovered that the best systems are the ones that adapt to how we actually think, not how we should think.
When I'm not coding, you'll find me writing about the intersection of technology and mindfulness, or exploring the coffee shops of Saigon.
