Wanderlure: Walk the Unknown

You do not choose where you are going. Your phone does, and you will not know where you end up until you are standing in front of it.

Wanderlure is a walking app for people who keep meaning to go outside. Swap the next video for the next street. Pick how you feel today, press start, and follow a direction instead of a feed.

WHAT WILL LURE YOU TODAY

Wander. A light, easy walk. A destination finds you. Dare walk. A slightly eerie stroll for the days you want a small thrill. You can turn back at any point, the app keeps you on streets with lights and people, and late at night it keeps the destination close. Fate walk. Follow today's luck in love. It is a fortune, nothing more. You never have to speak to anyone.

Each one comes with a short mission for the walk, or you can write your own, so a walk never feels random for the sake of it.

OR PICK THE PLACE AND LET US PICK THE WAY

Eum-gil, Korean for a path that takes the long way round, is the other half of the app. Choose somewhere you already want to go, tell us how long you would like to take, and we draw a way there that is not the one you always use. Same destination, longer and newer.

IT BUZZES, SO YOU CAN LOOK UP

There is no route to stare at. Your phone shows a direction and a distance, and buzzes faster as you face the right way and get closer. One long buzz means you have arrived at a point. Hold it like a compass and follow the buzz. Screen off, the guidance keeps going, with a lock screen notice when you reach a point.

The arrow is a rough direction, not a line to follow.

AND YOU GET HOME

Set your walking time and we plan it as a round trip: half the time out, half the time back. Destinations stay within walking reach, never more than 8 km away. At any moment you can head back to the start, the fast way or the long way.
