StoryTrek For every story you weren’t ready to leave
StoryTrek turns the miles you walk into a journey inspired by a book you love. We’re still finishing the app. Add your email and be the first to know when it launches.
Your own path · The book’s road · A story that stays
StoryTrek uses the distance already recorded in your health data. Walk wherever you like. The app does not need to stay open.
Browse journeys inspired by classic books. Filter by distance and choose the road that calls to you.
Head out wherever you like. Your phone or watch records the distance in Apple Health or Google Fit. StoryTrek only reads it, and it stays on your device unless you choose to sync.
Open StoryTrek or pull down to refresh. Your new distance moves you toward the next waypoint.
Each StoryTrek traces a route through a book’s world, with milestones shaped by its places and turning points. Here are a few places to begin.
Don Quixote · Miguel de Cervantes
Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland · Lewis Carroll
The Great Gatsby · F. Scott Fitzgerald
Pride and Prejudice · Jane Austen
The Odyssey · Homer
Sir Gawain and the Green Knight · The Pearl Poet

Beta testing underway
A small group of travelers is walking StoryTrek right now, putting real journeys through their paces. We’ll share their stories here as soon as we’ve heard them.
Find answers to common questions about how StoryTrek works, tracks your progress, and uses your health data.
No. Walk through your neighborhood, around a park, on a treadmill, or along a faraway trail. StoryTrek applies the distance in your health data to the literary journey you chose.
Open StoryTrek or pull down to refresh. The app reads the latest distance in your health data and applies it to your current journey.
No. Your distance continues to collect in your health data. StoryTrek reads it the next time you open or refresh the app.
StoryTrek reads only the distance already recorded in Apple Health or Google Fit. Never your location, route, or other health metrics. By default, that stays on your device. If you subscribe to sync across devices or walk in a shared company, StoryTrek sends your hourly distance totals to our servers. Nothing else, ever.
No. Each StoryTrek is a route with waypoints and distances inspired by a book. The app tracks your progress along that route; it does not play or provide the book itself.
Your progress is saved. A short walk today and a longer one this weekend both carry you toward the same destination.
Yes. Create a company and share a journey. Everyone walks wherever they are, at their own pace, while the group follows the same road together.
Some journeys are free to travel. Beyond that, you can buy a single StoryTrek outright and keep it for good, or subscribe for access to every journey in the library, plus syncing across devices, shared company journeys, and journal backup for the memories, photos, and notes you save along the way.
