How it works
Walk, tap, done.
Nothing to remember before a walk and nothing to measure during it. Go, come back, tap once. Keep more only if you want to.
Logging a walk
Take your walk. The button can wait.
Nothing to start before you leave. No timer or GPS recording to manage. When you're back, tap I walked today! That's enough to log your walk.
If you forget, you can add a walk from the past 30 days through your calendar. A short walk counts, and so does another walk on the same day.
After a walk
Keep one thing from it. If you want.
After logging, tap "Add a little reflection" to keep a mood, a short note, or one good thing you noticed. The first yellow leaves. A conversation with a friend. How the air felt when you stepped outside.
Your journal gathers these moments, and your yearly recap brings them back. You can also add your own tags, companions, and named places to find familiar walks again.
Every detail is optional. Close the reflection and your walk is already saved.
Discoveries
Finds from your walks.
Every so often, a walk brings a discovery: a wildflower, a pinecone, a glowing mushroom, once in a blue moon something rare.
Finds gather on your Discoveries page and stay with their walks in Footprints. Keep them, or use finds for charms: Firefly Glow or Petal Drift on the cards of your next walks, Mossling beside your avatar, a fox, geese or a lantern visiting the Today page, or an aurora or lakeside for your rarest finds. Rarer finds last longer, and one charm can run in each place at a time. None of it is required, and your collection history stays through any break.
Photos and Memories
Add a photo. Or three.
Saw something worth keeping? An "Add a photo" button appears right next to the reflection one, and every walk can hold up to three photos: the light through the trees, your dog mid-zoom, a coffee stop along the way. Give each one a few words if you like.
Your photos gather into Memories, a gallery of where your walks have taken you. Yours alone, unless you decide to share one.
Companions and Places
Who came along, and where.
Tap the dog, a neighbor, or grandma onto a walk, and name the places you go in your own words: the river loop, around the block. No maps, no distances.
Each companion gets a page of your walks together: the photos, the good things you noticed, one walk you keep as a favorite memory, a cover photo you pick, and a Year in Walks of just the two of you. Places get a page of their own too.
Companions are private unless you say otherwise. When someone no longer walks with you, archive them: every walk together stays, and so does their page.
Walk together
Walking Circles.
Walk in different places, feel closer. Your family can be across town or across the world: everyone logs their own walks, and they gather in a shared feed. No matching schedules needed.
Circles are private by default. Invite people you know, or join a public circle to meet other walkers. Cheer whenever a walk appears. There is no leaderboard, and nothing shows for the days someone didn't walk.

A few more corners to find.
Still just that one button at the heart of it. The rest is there whenever you want it, and you can choose the parts you enjoy.
Footprints
Your walk journal, calendar, and a look back at the moods and moments you recorded. Earned milestones and rewards stay with you through breaks.
Personal touches
Achievements can unlock button themes, icons, palettes, avatar frames, and cozy music tracks that make MossMug feel more like yours.
The Meadow
A feed of walks from across MossMug, anonymous by default. No comments, just a small heart and the sense that others are out walking too. Some walkers choose to show who they are.
Cozy music
Soft instrumental tracks to play while you visit, if you like. It stays off until you press play, and more unlock as you walk.
Friends and a public profile are opt-in. By default your walks may appear in the Meadow as anonymous sprouts that show only that someone walked. Your identity and personal reflections stay out unless you choose to share them. You can turn Meadow participation off in Settings.

A few practical things
Three things worth knowing before you start.
Yours, by default
MossMug doesn't track your location. Public profile, friends, and circles are all opt-in.
Pressure-free
Your total walking days keep adding up. Some badges celebrate consecutive days, but taking a break never removes a milestone or reward you have earned.
Free to use
No credit card, no questionnaire, no upsell. Every feature in MossMug is free today, and if that ever changes, you'll hear it from us well before it does.
Come on in.
Your first walk can be five minutes around the block. We'll be here when you get back.
