Feature

A feed, on your terms

Follow friends, see what they did, say something about it. Every activity is private until you decide otherwise, and you choose the audience one activity at a time.

How it works

The parts of it

Follow friends

Find people by name, or match your contacts without your address book ever leaving the device.

An audience per activity

Only you, your followers, or everyone. The choice is per activity, not one global switch you set once and forget.

Routes, trimmed

A published route has anything inside a privacy zone removed, then a random two hundred to six hundred metres cut from each end, so the map never starts at your door.

Encrypted direct messages

Direct and group messages are encrypted on your device. The server stores ciphertext only, and refuses attachments that are not encrypted.

Clubs and events

The social side that actually gets people out of the house: a club, a weekly session and a meeting point.

A fly-through worth posting

A chase camera over real terrain relief, exported as video. Free on every activity.

The Waypath community screen on an iPhone, showing Events, Clubs and Challenges tabs above upcoming group activities from people you follow.

Straight answers

What encryption does and does not cover

  • Message bodies are encrypted. Metadata is not. Sender, recipient and timestamp are visible to the server, and so are a club's or event's own name, place and date, because people have to be able to find them.
  • Messages are tied to the device that received them. Reinstall the app and the history is gone. There is no key escrow, which is the point and also the cost.
  • A public activity is public. The trimming protects your start and finish. It does not make a route you chose to publish private.

Bring the people you actually run with.

Free to record, free to share, and nothing is published until you say so.

Requires iPhone. Recording is free and unlimited. Premium adds the deeper analysis.
