What's inside

  • A random destination

    No route to plan, no goal to set. Headout drops one reachable checkpoint nearby, and that's the plan.

  • Reachable by design

    Checkpoints are snapped onto the walkable network, so they're never stranded in water, buildings or dead ends.

  • Automatic arrival

    GPS notices when you reach the checkpoint and pays out your reward. No button to press, no run to log.

  • XP, not calories

    Every walk grants XP that raises your level. No coins, no premium currency, no pressure to perform.

  • Chain the adventure

    Arrived and feeling good? Continue for a compounding multiplier, or head home to bank the run and end it.

  • A trail worth keeping

    Every adventure records the exact path you walked, drawn back on the map with your distance, time and steps.

About Headout

Headout is a small motivation app for iPhone that starts from one observation: the hardest part of going outside isn’t the walk, it’s making the decision to leave. So it removes the decision entirely.

Tap Head Out and the app drops one random, reachable checkpoint nearby. There is no route to choose, no distance to set, no fitness goal to hit. You just walk there. When you arrive, GPS detects it automatically and awards XP, which raises your level and gently unlocks longer adventures over time.

Every completed walk is saved with the exact path you followed, so your history becomes a map of everywhere one button has taken you. There are no accounts and no ads. Your streaks, stats and trails live on your device and sync to your own private iCloud, with no server of ours in between.

The daily walk itself is free and unlimited, as are streaks and reminders. Headout Pro is an optional upgrade for the extra walk modes (a quick stroll, a Discover run to a real landmark nearby, or an open-ended free walk), plus full statistics and your complete history.

A reason to go outside.

Headout counts how often you head out, not how far you go. It keeps your walks, streaks and progress on your device and your own private iCloud. No accounts, no ads, no server of ours in between, so the only thing it asks of you is to press one button.
