A free iPhone app that gives you a direction and a distance. No turn-by-turn. No zigzagging through one-ways. Just an arrow that points where you're going — so you can look up.
Just direction. Just distance. Just walk.
Choose where you're going from Apple Maps search, saved places, Apple Maps links, or a curated city guide. Then flip to a black-and-white arrow that just points there. Walk.
Pointy now includes curated offline travel guides for walkable cities. The guide picker sorts nearby cities first when location is available, then every place can become a simple arrow walk.
Open Explore and the closest bundled city rises to the top. No live travel-feed loading screen.
Each guide balances icons, viewpoints, parks, markets, neighborhoods, museums, and one quieter stop.
Prague/Praha, Brno, Olomouc, Madeira, and more use local names and walkable guide places.
Castle, Charles Bridge, Orloj, Letna, Vysehrad.
Spilberk, Petrov, Villa Tugendhat, Luzanky.
Holy Trinity Column, cathedral hill, Bezrucovy sady.
Search, drop a pin, paste an Apple Maps link, choose a guide place, or tap a saved spot. Even your parked car.
The map collapses. The screen goes black. One arrow remains.
The arrow points where the place is — through buildings, across rivers, around blocks. You decide the route.
Great-circle math against your live heading. The arrow points at the place, not at the next turn.
Saved places, recents, parked car, walk history, guide progress, settings, and app state stay on your iPhone.
Pin your apartment, your hotel, the trailhead, the friend's place. Rename them. Walk back.
One tap drops a pin where you parked. Tap it later. The arrow remembers.
Distance and direction sit on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. Glance, don't unlock.
Pointy quietly logs distance, duration, and average pace — only while you're guided. Nothing passive.
Nearest-first travel guides include must-see landmarks, local names, and a hidden gem in each city.
Your walks can unlock a cross-country passport from New York to Redondo Beach, one checkpoint at a time.
Elevation estimates, offline coordinate saves, Apple Shortcuts, local nudges, settings, and alternate app icons are included.
An arrow doesn't tell you when to turn. It tells you where to look. Your eyes stay on the street.
Bearing updates ten times a second from your compass. The arrow moves while you do — always pointing at where you're going.
The shortcut. The scenic route. The one through the park. Pointy doesn't care — it just keeps the arrow honest.
Within twenty meters, the arrow disappears and the distance reads arrived. Pointy gets out of the way.
Pointy speaks nine words. They're enough.
The fastest navigation is the one that knows when to disappear. Pointy doesn't tell you how to walk — it just remembers where you're going.
