Retki · a walk with a reason
A quiet
walking companion
Retki drops a pin on a public place worth the trip, then lets people walk there in their own time, on their own route. It marks the arrival, not the walker. No tracking, no streaks, no notification nudging you out the door.
Retki · onesteplabs
Public only
every destination is a public place: parks and landmarks, never a private spot
Hidden
your location stays private to others until you're close to the pin
Zero nudges
no notifications and no pressure, so you walk only when you want to
Not kept
the route you took isn't retained once the walk is done
How it works
A pin, a walk, an arrival, nothing in between
Step 1
A pin drops
A public destination worth the trip is marked on the map, somewhere anyone can safely reach on foot.
Step 2
You choose
Pick a destination that appeals. No route is prescribed and no clock is running.
Step 3
You walk
Go at your own pace, your own way. Your position stays hidden from everyone else the whole way there.
Step 4
You arrive
As you near the pin, Retki quietly notes the arrival. That moment of reaching the place is the whole point.
Step 5
Nothing lingers
The route isn't saved. When the walk ends, it's simply done. Nothing to review, nothing following you home.
What makes it different
Built to be gentle, on purpose
Private until close
Nobody watches you walk
Your location is hidden from other walkers until you're near the destination. Retki records the arrival, not the journey, and the route is never kept.
Public by design
Only places anyone can go
Every pin is a public spot: a park, a landmark, a shoreline. Destinations stay open and safe, so a walk is always somewhere you're meant to be.
Quiet by default
No notifications, ever
Retki never pings you to go, never counts a streak, never turns walking into a task. The absence of pressure is the feature. You walk because you want to.
Your own pace
No route, no clock
You choose the way and the pace. Two people can walk to the same pin by different paths on different days. The destination is shared, the walk is yours.
On the roadmap
Walkers dropping their own pins. Today, destinations are curated. Next, anyone will be able to mark a public place worth the trip, growing the map one good walk at a time, while keeping the same public-only, low-pressure rules.
