What Is a Walk Window?
A walk window is the stretch of the day when the forecast lines up for your walk — when the temperature, the wind, the humidity, and the air quality all sit in your comfort zone at the same time. Instead of reading three different numbers and guessing, you open Walk Window and see the one hour that's right for today.
How Walk Window Reads the Day
The forecast. Walk Window watches the temperature, the wind, the humidity, the rain chance, and the air quality, hour by hour, for sixteen days out. Every hour gets compared to the comfort zone you set up.
How steady the forecast is. Today's hours are a tight read. Next Tuesday's hours are a wider one. Walk Window trusts the near read more than the far one — and tells you when a longer-range forecast is shaky.
Your day. If you sync your calendar, Walk Window only suggests hours you can actually take. A good window at 11 AM doesn't help if you're in a meeting.
What Walk Window Tells You
You'll see one of these for every hour of the day:

How Walk Window Finds You

The App Learns
After each walk, you can tell Walk Window how the conditions actually felt. Walk Window remembers — and the hour it gives you tomorrow fits the way you actually walk, not a generic comfort range. Run warm? It knows. Mind humidity more than wind? It knows that, too.
