Your week
You will feel like everyone can tell. Within one song nobody is looking at you. They are looking at the band.
Commit and it goes in your calendar, with a reminder before and a nudge after to capture it.
The idea was never the hard part.
Any free chatbot will hand you a hundred things to do in four seconds. That is why endless recommendation never moves anyone. The deciding is cheap, and the scroll never ends.
afoot gives you one thing, sized to your nerve and your week. You commit, you go, and it's done. That's the entire trick, and it's the one nobody else is doing.
How it works
Everything afoot does bends toward the fourth step. The record is the product: the habit, the memory, and the reason your next prompt is better than the last.
One thing arrives on your chosen day, at your chosen time. Never a feed.
One tap picks a time and writes it to your calendar. The most important thing you'll do here.
The app is closed. You are out there in the real world, solo or with good company. The only step that counts.
Afterwards: one photo, one line, one tap for how it felt. Thirty seconds.
It lands in your Logbook, stamped with the date and place. Proof you went.
…and the archive makes the next prompt better. Round it goes.
One thing, three sizes.
A major adventure every day is a promise nobody keeps. So afoot has three sizes, and only asks for the big ones as often as a real life has room for.
Take a different way home and photograph one thing you've never noticed.
Small enough to get you to your first one inside a day.
Find the jazz room below street level. Ask for a table for one. Go to a gig alone.
The core of it. The thing you'll be telling people about.
The one that becomes a story: the first Drop of each month, if you have earned the nerve.
Costs a Drop, never adds one. Nobody's asked out more often.
Every thing carries a nerve rating. You start gentle, like sitting in the café you keep walking past, and unlock bolder ones by doing them. Stay on the dance floor for three songs is up there.
A curated direction
Drops land one at a time, but they don't have to be random. Activate a Trail, and your upcoming Drops subtly bias toward that theme, step by step, until you finish the journey and earn the milestone.
“Crossing the thresholds you usually walk past. Back rooms, quiet counters, and doors where you have to look for the handle.”
“The inefficient route on purpose. Crossings after dark, unfamiliar streets, and discovering what the main road hides.”
“From the counter seat at 2 PM to an unreadable menu and dinner alone in a crowded room. You come back changed.”
Finish every experience in a Trail to unlock a keepsake milestone card stamped into your Logbook.
The part that keeps you.
Every thing you finish lands here: one photo, one line, the date, and the place. Not a streak to protect. A record of a year you actually showed up for. Nobody else will ever have your Logbook.

If you just moved here
A new city is the moment this matters most: the pain is sharpest, the calendar is empty, and nobody's routine is competing for the time. afoot was built for the first ninety days, when a place is still a stranger and stepping out is how you make it yours.
