Footpath
Footpath is an iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch app I imagined making during my short stint as a developer. It’s an app that anyone who has planned a running or walking route has probably longed for at one point or another because it answers the fundamental question: How far?
In actuality, Footpath does far more than just answer that question, but it’s what got me started. In my old suburban neighborhood, the streets were all laid out in a neat and tidy grid. A lot of the Chicago area is like that. One benefit is being able to plan nearly infinite looping routes for running or walking and having a pretty good feel for distances based on the number of blocks.
