ShadePath: Comfort Routes

ShadePath — Your Comfort Route, Every Season. Not every route feels the same even when the distance is identical. In summer, ShadePath finds shade. In winter, it finds warmth. ShadePath helps runners, walkers, cyclists, seniors, pet owners, and stroller parents find routes that work with the conditions outside, not against them. Before you step out the door, ShadePath shows you which paths are more comfortable and which options match your pace and comfort level, any time of year. Generate a comfortable route between any two addresses or an optimized loop from where you are. The Walker persona is your everyday companion optimized for a comfortable pace so you arrive feeling good. Switch personas to match your needs: a Pet Owner adjusts for paw-friendly conditions, Senior and Stroller personas find accessibility-friendly routes with gentler grades, and Runner and Cyclist are there when you need them. Built for everyone who goes outside: - Runners who train through every season - Dog owners protecting sensitive paws - Parents pushing strollers who need comfortable grades and nearby rest stops - Seniors who need manageable routes with gentler terrain - Anyone who's ever come home more exhausted than they should be What makes ShadePath different: - 11 real-time data layers including tree canopy, building shadows, solar position, and wind shelter - Automatic season detection; shade-optimized in summer, warmth-optimized in winter - Best time to head out: a daily heads-up plus an hour-by-hour planner that ranks each hour by shade, heat, and UV - Street-by-street Route Guide before every walk - Color-coded route map showing shaded vs sun-exposed segments - Voice navigation with comfort reminders at every turn - Watch My Walk: share your live location with family for a single outing, opt-in and auto-expiring - 6 personas: Walker, Runner, Cyclist, Senior, Pet Owner, Stroller - Breed-aware heat advisories for 98 dog breeds - Earn badges as you rack up outings and miles - Works offline during navigation — no data needed while walking ShadePath was built by a runner training for the Irving Half Marathon who had to stop 9 miles into an outdoor run. Not because his body failed. Because the route did. This app is the one that would have saved that training. Your routes are saved on your device, and your location is never sold or used for ads. If you use Watch My Walk, your live location is shared only with the people you choose, and only until the walk ends. Delete your account anytime at shadepath.app/delete-account.
