Your numbers. Your progress together.
Every finished walk turns into numbers. Stack up enough weeks and a picture appears of how much walking actually happens, which is rarely the picture people carry in their heads.
What a finished walk gives you
The moment you end a walk, Barnaby works it out: distance, duration and the average pace across the whole route. There are no kilometre splits — pace is a single figure for the walk.
Week, month, year
The weekly view puts one bar per day, which makes gaps obvious. Month and year draw the longer line: whether you are keeping it up or quietly letting it slide.
Alongside that sits a pace trend across recent walks and a breakdown by time of day. The second one settles arguments about who is really a morning person.
Weekly goals
A goal gives the whole thing a shape: a number of walks, of kilometres, or of active hours, tracked as you go. Set one for the week, the month or the whole year, and run up to five at once. Most dogs benefit more from a steady rhythm than from one enormous Sunday outing, and that is the difference a goal makes visible.
Badges
First kilometre, first walk after midnight, hundredth recording — Barnaby unlocks badges as you pass them. They change nothing about the app and are not there to push you. They just mark that something happened.
Health pointers, if you want them
Barnaby will put your walking in context if you ask it to. Using breed, life stage and weight, the statistics tab estimates whether the amount of exercise looks low, about right, or high. The inputs are sourced: life stages from the AAHA Canine Life Stage Guidelines, the weight bands modelled on the WSAVA Body Condition Score, and the daily exercise minutes per breed from the breed profiles of the Royal Kennel Club and the AKC.
Where the line falls between “about right” and “a lot” is our own arithmetic, though, and appears in no guideline. The sources supply the numbers; the judgement on top of them is ours.
Taking the numbers with you
Individual walks export as a GPX file and open in apps like Garmin Connect or a mapping app. For everything at once there is the account export, and deletion happens in the app as well. Both belong to Home Zone.
