What it is

Your everyday steps become a weekly league with friends, a group streak with family or a real route like the Camino de Santiago, with a postcard at every stage.

Walk in your daily life and Walko turns it into a game with your people. It reads the steps your phone and watch already count, so you don’t need to start anything or keep the app open.

THREE WAYS TO WALK TOGETHER

  • League: who walks the most from Monday to Sunday, with a podium and a weekly champion
  • Daily goal: everyone has their own goal; if everyone meets it, the group streak grows
  • Route: everyone’s kilometres add up to walk a real route, stage by stage

REAL ROUTES WITH POSTCARDS

  • Portuguese Way from Tui, free
  • French Way, Northern Way, Vía de la Plata and Route 66
  • A postcard with a real fact at every stage, a stamp in your pilgrim passport and a diploma at the finish

FAIR AND RELAXED

  • Steps typed in by hand don’t count
  • A 48-hour margin so late phones never lose a day
  • Streak freezes save a bad day

SIMPLE

  • No email or password: just your name
  • Invite with a link or a 6-letter code
  • Your diary with charts and achievements
  • Notifications only when it matters: at most 3 a day

PRIVATE

  • Walko only reads your daily step count and walking distance from Apple Health or Health Connect
  • Never your location or other health data
  • No ads

Free: create one group, join as many as you like and walk the Portuguese Way. Walko Plus (monthly, yearly with a 7-day free trial, or lifetime) adds unlimited groups, every route, 2 streak freezes a month and your full history. When a group creator has Plus, the whole group walks their routes for free. Walko is not a medical device.

Frequently asked questions

Walko doesn’t show my steps

iPhone: open the Health app, tap your photo › Apps › Walko and turn on Steps and Walking + Running Distance. Android: open Health Connect › App permissions › Walko and turn on Steps, Distance and Access in the background. Then open Walko and tap Refresh.

My group sees my steps late

Steps upload when you open Walko and in the background: on iPhone at most about once an hour, on Android every 15–30 minutes. Don’t close Walko by swiping it up. On some Android phones (Xiaomi, Huawei, Samsung) turn off battery optimisation for Walko. Leagues and streaks have a 48-hour margin, so late steps still count for the right day.

How do I invite people?

Open the group and tap Invite to share a link, or give them the 6-letter code. They can join with “Join with a code”.

Why does a day count only 60,000 steps?

To avoid mistakes, days above 60,000 steps count as 60,000 until another member of the group accepts them.

What is a streak freeze?

In daily-goal groups, if you miss your goal a freeze is used automatically and the group keeps its streak. Plus gives you 2 every month, and you can buy packs.

I changed phone

On your old phone, go to Settings › Recovery code and keep the code. On the new phone, choose “I have an account” (or Settings › Use a code) and type it.

I paid but I don’t see Plus

Settings › Restore purchases, using the same Apple ID or Google account you paid with. If it still doesn’t work, write to us.
