A pilgrimage, one tap away. A link can now open a single stage of a pilgrimage. Tap one and Pilgrim lands on that day's walk, ready to begin. If the route isn't on your phone yet, it opens the route with that stage in view and offers to download it. A new pilgrimage to walk in Honor: the Gudbrandsdalsleden, the St. Olav way from Oslo to Nidaros, in 24 stages. On Shikoku, a temple ahead now tells you when its stamp office closes at five, so the day's last seal isn't missed. The map no longer sends usage data to Mapbox. Walk well.

Walk with someone. Honor is the third way to walk, beside Wander and Seek. Follow a path someone else laid down: one of your own walks again, a walk a friend shared with you, or a stage of a real pilgrimage. The Camino de Santiago, the Kumano Kodō, Shikoku's temple route. Download one and walk it a stage at a time. Their voices arrive where they were spoken. Photos wait where they were taken. Water, shelter and shrines sit quietly on the map. Each morning the day's stage opens with its own words, and each evening closes with a line you can answer. Save the maps for a way before you go, and the path is there with no signal at all. Walk well.

Recent walks, what went quiet, and small noticings — a theme that keeps surfacing near the same stretch of ground, a moon cycle closing, the weather your words kept meeting. • Themes across walks — what you keep returning to, first spoken when • "Walk with what walks with you" — intention suggestions drawn from your own recurring themes • Noticings — a handful of quiet observations woven into your prompts, at most three lines, silence by default • Deeper language texture — how your words lean, held gently and never judged Nothing derived from your voice ever leaves your device. The analysis serves only the prompts you choose to carry.

Walk with me. Share a walk as a living page: your voice recordings play at the places you spoke them, photos appear where you took them, and the route walks itself — at a guided pace, or exactly as it happened, minute for minute. Friends who reach the end can leave an anonymous stone on your walk's cairn, and the pile grows just like the cairns on your trail. Nothing uploads unless you choose Interactive. Shared pages still return to the trail when their time comes. Walk well.

A tree stands in every clearing. - Seek arrivals are now marked by a solitary tree instead of a small point of light — the same mark in the app, on shared walk pages, and in the web viewer - Each clearing's tree wears the sky you found it under: amber in the golden hours, pale gold at midday, silver after dark Walk well.

Your walks now speak in fuller sentences. - AI prompts carry far more of each walk — your practice (wander or seek), pauses and climbs, the moon, the changing light, and the patterns worth noticing - Each prompt now guides the response: in your language, from your walk, nothing invented - Voice transcription is noticeably more accurate, with a better on-device model (downloads once on your first transcription after updating) - Whispers and cairns now wear hand-drawn art — a wisp of breath in each mood's color, and cairns that visibly age: stones gather, moss arrives, a sacred rope marks consecration, and the eternal glows from within. The stone sheet shows what your stone makes the cairn become - The collective walks a different pilgrimage each day — the same route for every pilgrim, turning with the seasons. Contribute a walk and it ends among those who really walked it Walk well.

The journal's path comes alive. - Scenery no longer vanishes as you scroll deep into your walking history - Gates now mark real thresholds — vermilion for practice milestones, weathered stone with moss for your first unknowns - Seek walks that found places raise small stone cairns, growing with each finding - The moon shows its true phase from each walk's night, and lanterns glow only for walks that met the dark - The season drifts through: petals in spring, fireflies on summer nights, dragonflies in autumn, snow in winter Walk well.

The unknown now has a door. Seek — a third way of walking. Choose a duration, set an intention, and follow a quiet pulse through fog toward places you didn't choose. Be still when you arrive, and the way continues. Found places glow on your walk's map in the light of the hour you reached them. The journal marks seek walks with their own footprints, and new goshuin seals honor the unknowns you've found. Walk well.

The path settles. A gentler welcome, and a quieter, quicker start. Your spoken reflections stay whole — a passing notification no longer cuts a recording short, and a real call ends it cleanly. Smoother maps, kinder text sizes, and steadier footing on long walks. Walk well.

A starlit appearance, a journey you can tend. Constellation mode is here. A deep indigo path under drifting stars, with a quieter palette and a logo of its own. Set it from Settings → Appearance, or use the new constellation app icon on your home screen. Edit My Journey opens your walks at edit.pilgrimapp.org — tend reflections, archive what's done, bring it all back to your pocket as a single .pilgrim file. Your walks never leave the browser unencrypted; the JSON is injected via the bridge only when you open the page. Smaller refinements: - Archived walks live on as ghost seals in your Goshuin - Transcriptions clamp gracefully with Show more / Show less - A pencil icon now opens the editor, so the new Show more toggle no longer collides with tap-to-edit - Voice recording paths are preserved through edit-and-reimport — your audio is never lost - The sacred-number bell now waits for crossings that happen during your tenure, not the ones the collective already passed before you arrived Every walk is a small pilgrimage. Walk well.

The year is made of four turnings. On solstices and equinoxes, the app now offers a quiet visual touch — a small recognition of the moment you walked through. Walks settle in more gently. Maps fade into place at the start of a walk instead of snapping. Walk share previews unfold in one fluid scroll. Maps quiet themselves during meditation or when the screen is dark, saving battery on long walks. Recordings hold up better through interruptions. Phone calls pause and resume your recording cleanly. Recordings that began and stalled are sanitized in recovery rather than crashing the session. Two new whispers join the Presence catalog — the dynamic catalog grows without app updates. Walk well.

Your photos, pinned to the path. Photos you took during a walk now appear in a quiet carousel on your summary — gathered from Apple Photos, never copied or stored. Long-press one and pin it to the route map. Each becomes a small circular relic anchored to where you stood when you took it. Scroll the carousel and the map follows. Tap a map pin and the carousel scrolls to meet it. Pinned photos also enrich your writing prompts — the app reads them on-device to understand what you saw and weaves it into reflections that feel like they walked with you. Walk well.

The sky remembers where you walked. Share a walk and receive a reading back — one true sentence about the sky at the moment you walked. The supermoon you missed. The equinox you didn't notice. The 14 minutes before sunrise when you set out. Every walk gets one, every reading is true. Meditation sessions now keep the screen lit the whole way through. The whisper catalog is now dynamic — new whispers arrive without updates. Walk well.

Traces on the path. Leave a Whisper — place an ephemeral audio message at your location for other pilgrims to discover. Choose from seven energies: presence, lightness, wonder, gratitude, compassion, courage, stillness. Each whisper is voiced by a different guide and fades after the duration you choose. Place a Stone — start or grow a cairn wherever you walk. Cairns are permanent landmarks that evolve through seven tiers as more pilgrims add their stones, from a faint mark to an eternal cairn of 108 stones. Each tier has its own character, kanji, and visual presence. Walk near a whisper or cairn and it reveals itself — whisper icons in guide colors, cairn icons in moss green, appearing on your map as you approach. Room for the land. The walk screen is quieter now. The map fills the view, with your stats resting at the bottom in a small bar — time, distance, steps, and your intention held beneath. Tap Start and the screen steps back. Swipe up any time to see everything, then let it fold away again. Fits every phone and every text size. Also in this release: - Shared walks now show their expiry status and can be re-shared - Meditation's "None" soundscape stays off when you choose it - Lock screen updates reliably when walks end - Full moon renders as a perfect circle - Smoother map with annotations above the route line Walk well.

More room to breathe. - Every screen now scales gracefully with larger text sizes - Smoother transitions between walk modes - A dark mode logo for those who walk at night Walk well.

Weather awareness and map display now work correctly on all devices. Microphone is optional during setup — grant it when you're ready to record. New in Settings: • Share Pilgrim with friends • Rate Pilgrim on the App Store • Leave a Trail Note (moved for easier access)
