Loops from your door
One tap gives you a round trip that fits the time you have and brings you back home.
- Three options per request, plus “give me another”
- Avoids dead ends, highways and private roads
- Distance tuned to your walking pace
In development. Los Angeles pilot planned.
Walk the streets you have never walked.
Tell Strollz how long you have. It plans a loop from your door through streets that are new to you, with a few short notes about what you pass, each linked to its source.
Free plan planned. No ads. Walk history private by default.

This park was laid out in 1928 on the site of an old brickworks. The pond is the flooded clay pit.

How it works
A fresh walk in three taps
No route planning, no scrolling through trails an hour away. Just a good loop near home that you have not done before.
Say how long you have
20, 30, 45 or 60 minutes. Strollz starts from your door, or from wherever you are standing.
Pick one of three loops
Each loop shows its time, distance and how much of it is on streets you have never walked.
Walk it and watch your map fill in
A few short notes appear as you pass things worth knowing about. New streets are added to your map.
Made for people who walk near home
- You just moved and want to learn the area on foot
- You walk the dog and are bored of the same loop
- You push a stroller and need step-free streets
- You like knowing the story behind ordinary places
Your coverage map
Watch your neighborhood fill in
Every walk paints the streets you covered. Strollz uses that map to send you somewhere new next time, so the area around your home keeps getting bigger.
- Before today
- 39%
- After today
- 53%
Share of streets walked in the example map.
- Walked before

What is planned
Small app, a few things done well
Everything below is planned for the pilot or the beta that follows. Nothing is live yet.
Streets you have never walked
Strollz remembers which streets you have walked and steers each loop toward the ones you have not.
- Every loop shows its share of new streets
- A personal coverage map of your neighborhood
- Import past walks from a GPX file
Notes with sources
Two to four short notes per loop about what you pass: a building, a park, a street name.
- Drawn from Wikipedia, Wikidata and OpenStreetMap
- Every note links to where it came from
- No source, no note. Nothing is made up
Safety and accessibility
Filters that are free for everyone, because getting home safely should never be a paid feature.
- Prefer lit streets and sidewalks where they are mapped
- Avoid busy roads, or keep to step-free routes
- A heads-up when a loop would end after dark
Themes
Give the loop a flavor when you want one, or leave it on “surprise me”.
- Green and quiet streets
- Coffee stop at the halfway point
- Architecture, history and public art
Streaks and light social
Enough to build a habit, without turning a walk into a competition.
- A weekly walking goal and a gentle streak
- Share a loop with a friend, start point blurred
- No public feed or leaderboard by default
How it compares
Not a trail app. Not a fitness tracker.
Great apps already exist for hikes, runs and directions. Strollz is for the walk itself, close to home.

FAQ
Questions, answered honestly
Including the ones about location data.
Can I use Strollz today?
Not yet. Strollz is in development. The plan is a small pilot in Los Angeles first, then a public beta if people keep using it. There is no app to download and nothing to pay for.
What happens to my location?
Strollz will use your location to plan loops and, only when you choose, to record a walk. Walk history will be private by default, exportable, and deletable at any time. Shared loops blur the start point so they do not reveal your home. Location data will never be sold or used for ads. This page itself sets no cookies and collects nothing.
Where do the notes come from?
From open sources such as Wikipedia, Wikidata and OpenStreetMap. An AI model may shorten a source into a sentence or two, but every note links to its source, and if there is no source there is no note.
Will it work where I live?
Routes are built from OpenStreetMap, which covers most towns and cities. Sidewalk, lighting and step-free details are patchier, especially in suburbs, so those filters will say when data is missing. The pilot starts in one or two Los Angeles neighborhoods so route quality can be checked by hand.
Is it safe to walk streets I do not know?
Strollz avoids roads that are not meant for walking and can prefer lit streets, sidewalks and daylight. Map data can be wrong or out of date, so always use your own judgement and turn back if a street does not feel right.
Do I need Strava or a watch?
No. A phone is enough. You will be able to import past walks from a GPX file. Data imported from other services stays private to you and is never used to train or prompt AI models.
Is it an app or a website?
The first version will be a mobile web app you can add to your home screen. Phones only record location reliably while a web app is open, so a native app may follow if the pilot goes well.
Why not just use Google Maps?
Google Maps is excellent at getting you somewhere. Strollz is for when the walk is the point: it plans a loop, remembers what you have already walked and sends you somewhere new.
Early access
Walk with the Los Angeles pilot
The first pilot is small: a few dozen walkers in one or two Los Angeles neighborhoods, for four weeks. Not in LA? Join anyway: waitlist interest helps decide where Strollz goes next.
