About

StrollCraft exists for a simple reason: it's 6pm, you've got 30 minutes before dinner, and you'd rather see something interesting than walk the same block around your flat.

The idea

You tell StrollCraft how long you have. It draws you a loop through the most interesting nearby sights — monuments, viewpoints, historic buildings, parks, public art — and routes you back to where you started. Or flip on one-way mode and walk to a landmark worth the trip: StrollCraft picks a destination and fills the path with sights along the way.

Not a fitness tracker. Not a travel guide. Just a way to turn idle time into a walk worth taking.

Who made it

StrollCraft is made by Skadi Oy, a small independent shop in Helsinki, Finland. We make a few small, opinionated tools — StrollCraft is one of them. We like things that do one thing well, that respect your time, and that don't try to own your data.

The data

Sights come from OpenStreetMap, a volunteer-mapped open database of everything in the world. When StrollCraft tells you a bronze statue sits around the corner, it's because a local cartographer logged it there. You can improve the map yourself — OSM welcomes contributors.

Map tiles use Protomaps basemaps, self-hosted so no one owns the relationship between your browser and our server. Walking pace uses published MET values for the calorie estimate.

What it doesn't try to be

• Not a social network. No accounts, no feeds, no "who walked this route."
• Not a turn-by-turn navigator. It draws the loop and hands you off to Google Maps for actual walking navigation.
• Not a training log. It doesn't track whether you walked it.
• Not a recommendations engine. It doesn't learn about you. It has no profile to fill in.
