IWT version 2.1.5

A new big update — plus a workout that can't be stopped by your own pocket.

Walk a route, in stages

A challenge no longer has to be one big number. Split it into named stages — Östersund → Sundsvall, 187 km, then Sundsvall → Gävle, 210 km. Give each stage two weeks, or no deadline at all and let every step you take fill them in order. If a stage does have a deadline, you decide what missing it costs: it stays missed, or what's left moves to the next stage so the route always gets finished — just later.

Shared goals: nobody loses

Choose shared goal and the podium disappears. No places, no "someone passed you" — just how far the group has come together, and a bar per stage that turns green when it's done. Walk the route side by side or each on your own.

And when a workplace challenge really takes off, everyone shows up: leaderboards past 100 walkers now list all of them.

Your pocket can't end your walk

Pause and End now sit behind a slide to unlock, so a press through your trouser leg can't cut the workout short. The screen locks itself when you start, and again 30 seconds after your last tap. New on the workout screen: a volume slider for the audio cues — your phone's buttons still belong to the music.

Cues you can actually hear

Start a podcast after your walk had already begun and the cues used to go quiet for the rest of the workout. Fixed. Now every cue ducks the music for a moment and lets it straight back up — the music never pauses, it just steps aside.
