How much of New York have you actually walked?
Blocks answers that. Put your phone in your pocket and start walking — every street you cover lights up on your map. Walk all the way around a block, every side, and the whole block fills in. It's yours for good.
There's no streak to keep and nothing to lose. Your map only ever grows.
HOW IT WORKS
• Start a walk, or let Blocks pick it up automatically in the background
• Streets light up as you walk them — phone stays in your pocket
• Cover every side of a block and it fills in permanently
• Walk one side today and the rest next month, it all still counts
• 33,114 real blocks across all five boroughs, traced from actual NYC intersections
EXPLORE NEIGHBORHOOD BY NEIGHBORHOOD
• Per-neighborhood progress, so you find out you're 40% through the East Village
• Neighborhood cards rank where to go next based on what you haven't seen
• Restaurant, cafe, and bar picks sitting on blocks you've never set foot on
• Rate the places you go and build a real record of your city
• See your whole New York at a glance — every street you've ever walked
• Climb from Tourist to True New Yorker as your block count grows
CLIMB THE LEADERBOARD WITH FRIENDS
• Neighborhood leaderboards — find out who really knows the East Village
• Leaderboards count blocks you actually walked. No shortcuts.
• Invite a friend to walk a neighborhood together
• Follow friends and watch the neighborhoods they're filling in
• Add Tastemakers, people whose taste you trust, and their favorite spots rise to the top of your recommendations
• Share your map as an image any time you want to show it off
ALREADY TRACK YOUR RUNS?
Connect Apple Health and the runs and walks you already record get added to your map automatically. Your route never leaves your phone.
YOUR MAP IS YOURS
• Your profile is private unless you choose to make it public
• You control what friends and followers can see
• Location is used to credit the streets you walk. It is never sold.
Blocks is for the people who take the long way home — who pick a direction, see where it goes, and measure the city in footsteps.
Start walking. Your first block is one trip outside away.
A faster, smoother app, plus a fix for blank restaurant cards.
