Frequently Asked Questions

Your walk records and everyday observations are stored on your device, and there is no account registration. The app connects directly to external services when needed for features such as weather and maps, and for usage analytics you consent to. In 1.16.0 (213) and later, AI and on-device template automatic comments have been retired. Manually entered marker comments, notes, and walk records remain available. Feature-bearing versions 1.16.0 (212) and earlier may continue sending data to Gemini until updated. See exactly what is sent in our Privacy Policy.
Yes, you can delete individual walk records from the walk history screen. You can also delete individual markers from the walk detail screen. You can export and restore backups from Settings.
