Built Pilgrim over the last two months. iOS, free, open source, GPL v3.

What's different: no third-party trackers, no analytics SDKs, no crash reporters, no remote config. The app does not talk to Meta, Google, Mixpanel, or anyone else. Your routes, your walks, your seal — all on-device.

What it does: tracks walks the way you'd want — route map, walk summary, a goshuin-style seal when you finish. Quiet UI, no streaks, no nags, no leaderboards.

One small thing I added late: it marks the four turning days of the year (solstices and equinoxes) with a faint visual touch on the walk summary, route map, and goshuin seal. Walking on a solstice should feel like walking on a solstice.

Stack: Swift, SwiftUI, MapKit, Core Location, Core Motion. Logs stay on device.

Why open source: if it touches your location, you should be able to read what it does.

Roast welcome — especially on the on-device data model and the goshuin seal flow.
