ToggleWalk
Walking as training

Walk with
purpose.

Walking isn't just something to track.
It can be training.

Forward walks. Easy and brisk intervals. Backward walking. One simple app to track the way you choose to move.

01 / Choose your walk

One habit.
Three ways to train.

Some days you want a steady walk. Others, a change of pace or direction. ToggleWalk gives each its own place.

Walk

Head outside and settle into your rhythm. Track your time, distance and pace as you go.

Keep moving forward

Interval Walk

Alternate easy and brisk walking with 3-minute intervals. Clear voice cues tell you when it's time to change pace.

Easy. Brisk. Repeat.

Backward Walk

Give backward walking its own session and history, so you can see how much of it you're actually doing.

Change your direction
02 / A reason to toggle

Make the walk
your workout.

A mile tells you how far you went. It doesn't tell the whole story of how you trained.

Choose a steady pace, add brisk intervals, or make room for backward walking. Start with an intention. Then keep a record of it.

02 Choose your mode.
03 Track your session.
04 Come back and build on it.
03 / Built from experience

Built because
I wanted it myself.

I'm Robert. After dealing with calf issues, I wanted to get back to building leg strength and stamina. Walking became part of that process—but I wanted to do more than just get miles in.

I wanted a simple way to track regular walking, backward walking and intervals, and see what I was actually doing. So I started building ToggleWalk.

It's an app shaped by my own walks, tested as I go, and built around a simple idea: walking with a purpose.

In development · Android first

Your next walk.
A little more purpose.

ToggleWalk is being built and tested now. When it's ready for public release, you'll find the download here.

Coming soon for Android
Can I download ToggleWalk today?

Not yet. The app is currently in development and personal testing. Public availability and pricing will be announced here.

Do I need a watch or a chest strap?

No. The current app is designed to work on your Android phone. Outdoor distance tracking uses your phone's location.

Does it include interval voice cues?

Yes. Interval mode includes spoken prompts before pace changes, followed by a beep, so you don't have to keep watching the screen.

Where should I try backward walking?

Choose a flat, clear space away from traffic and obstacles. Start slowly, check your surroundings, and use support if you need it.
