Japanese Walking Timer1.3.10 - App Store

Japanese Walking is a way to get the most benefit from your daily walk. Studies have shown that people who Japanese Walk have greater health outcomes compared to people who simply walk.

To Japanese Walk you need to walk as fast as possible for 3 minutes and then walk slowly for 3 minutes. Repeat this 10 times.

How does this app help? It gives you a notification when you need to speed up or slow down. No need to keep looking at the phone, press the button and get walking.

This app can also give you a reminder of a time to walk. You set this, we will never send you a notification you didn’t ask for.

Japanese Walking has an achievement system to help keep you motivated on your health journey.

Modern app design. Choose from light mode or dark mode. You can even change the app colour (if red isn’t your favourite).

This app takes your privacy very seriously. All the data entered into the app is stored on your device. We couldn’t sell your information even if we wanted to. The app does track app usage data, this is limited to what City you are in and what pages you have looked at. This is optional and can be turned off at any time.

Or a quick summary

- Notifies you to speed up or slow down

You may now select more different times, giving you greater control over how long your walk is. 1.3.1 Jun 14 Japanese Walking no longer has ad-supported usage. Unfortunately, showing ads does not result in enough revenue to keep supporting it in the app. To increase revenue from advertising, I would need to provide more of your data to our advertising partners. I made the decision to better protect your privacy. This also reduces the size of the app on your phone, as all the code required to support the ads has been removed. 1.3.0 Jun 2 In this version, the achievements have changed to better reflect the science on Japanese Walking. Now the streak goal is 4 walks in a week, rather than every day. A new completion screen has also been added, giving you more information about how you are walking. You can also overlay information about your walking consistency on a photo for social media. 1.2.0 May 12 Bug fixes and visual enhancements 1.1.7 May 1 New achievements for the most dedicated walkers 1.1.6 Apr 29 fix issue preventing icons from rendering 1.1.4 Apr 16 Bug fixes and performance enhancements 1.1.3 Apr 14 Fix bug preventing notification from being shown in the foreground 1.1.2 Mar 22 Improved onboarding flow and minor bug fixes. 1.1.1 Mar 18 This release adjusts visuals in the app to improve accessibility. 1.1.0 Mar 17 Fixed a bug preventing walk completion from being recorded. 1.0.9 Jan 26 Various improvements and enhancements 1.0.7 Jan 15 Support for more languages 1.0.6 11/30/2025 Enhanced user interface 1.0.5 11/08/2025 Icon updated for liquid glass.
