Untrod is an iPhone app that colours in every street you walk and shows the ones you haven't, using OpenStreetMap. It is made by one person in Kraków, Poland, and is in beta.
Features
- Street map that fills in: streets you have walked turn orange on the map; streets you haven't walked stay white.
- Coverage: the percentage of your home area, each neighbourhood and your whole city that you have walked.
- Walk recording: one tap starts a walk; recording carries on with the screen locked, works without signal and syncs later. A Live Activity shows the walk on the Lock Screen. Bus, tram and car rides don't count.
- Apple Health import: past walks with a GPS route (for example from an Apple Watch) are added to the map.
- Daily Quest: one short suggested route a day through nearby streets you haven't walked yet.
- Landmark stamps: walking past a landmark collects its stamp, with a short fact about the place.
- Relaxed or Competitive mode: Relaxed has no goals, streaks or rankings; Competitive adds leaderboards and friends.
- Privacy: location is recorded only during a walk. Leaderboards and friends never see routes or start points. Share cards can hide the first and last 200 or 400 metres of a walk.
- Untrod Plus (paid): offline maps, a choice of quest lengths and routes to the streets you have left. Monthly, yearly or lifetime.
How it uses OpenStreetMap
- Map display: vector tiles from OpenFreeMap (OpenStreetMap data), drawn with MapLibre Native in a custom style.
- Street network: highways from an OpenStreetMap snapshot are split into segments at junctions. Streets, footpaths, park paths, lanes and unnamed streets count. Separately mapped sidewalks, driveways, parking aisles, private service roads and tracks do not.
- Matching: a street counts once the walker's GPS track follows most of its length. Crossing the end of a street does not count, and a street counts once however often it is walked. Users can skip private or locked streets they can't walk down.
- Areas: neighbourhoods and cities come from OpenStreetMap boundaries. Large cities are split into districts.
- Landmarks: churches, museums, parks, squares, theatres, monuments and similar places from OpenStreetMap become stamps.
- Snapshots: maps are built per city from a fixed copy of OpenStreetMap that is refreshed a few times a year, never from live data. When a map is updated, credit for walked streets carries over by geometry, so an update never removes streets a walker has already walked.
- Attribution: the app credits © OpenStreetMap contributors.
Untrod does not upload GPS tracks or edits to OpenStreetMap.
Coverage area
Untrod has maps for 585 cities and towns (November 2026), and more are added over time. The list, with each city's street length, is at untrod.app/streets.
