Five Foot Way

Walking is good for you. It can also be a bit boring. Five Foot Way gives every step somewhere to go.

Choose a building, then get on with your day. The steps you walk go straight into the building site on your island, and you watch it rise: a bare plot, then scaffolding, then walls, and finally a finished building with its lights coming on.

YOUR WALK, IN BRICKS
• Steps come from your iPhone and Apple Health, including your Apple Watch
• Progress is measured against your own usual pace, so a good day for you is a good day for your city
• Build one thing at a time, and see exactly how far each walk got it

A CITY WORTH WALKING FOR
• Kopitiams, kampung houses, a mosque, an Art Deco cinema, a town hall, glass towers, a Ferris wheel and many more, each modelled for itself
• Homes bring residents, and residents carry your island from Village to Town, City and Metropolis
• Each era unlocks new things to build
• Residents have things to say about what you build, and what they wish you would

DAY AND NIGHT
• The island follows your own clock
• After dark the windows, street lamps and signs light up
• A relaxed soundtrack for mornings, sunny afternoons, evening lamps and starlit nights

ALWAYS WITH YOU
• A Home Screen widget shows your city and today's progress without opening the app
• Save a picture, or a video of your island growing, to your photo library

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No account, no ads, no tracking
• Your step data never leaves your iPhone
• Free, with nothing to buy

Five Foot Way is named after the covered walkways in front of Malaysia's and Singapore's shophouses, where towns have always been walked, not driven.
