Time outside
Walking asks very little of you: no gym, no gear, no experience. Picking things up just gives you a friendly reason to wander one more block, if you feel like it.

Take a walk. Leave it a little better.
LitterBuggies is a friendly companion for walks around your neighborhood. Go at your own pace, pick up whatever you come across, and enjoy being outside. The app remembers each walk for you, so it’s there whenever you’d like to look back.
Opens the App Store. iPhone for now, plus an Apple Watch app if you have one.
A small, good thing that fits in your day.
So much of life is ongoing. The inbox refills, the to-do list keeps going, and it’s nice to have something simple with a beginning and an end.
A cleanup walk is exactly that. It’s small, outdoors, and it finishes. Ten minutes or an hour, a full bag or a single bottle cap — it all counts. When you head home, the street is a little nicer than you found it, and you’ve had some fresh air along the way.
Get outside, move a little, and leave a place kinder than you found it. There’s no wrong way to do it.
Good for you, and good for your street.
Room to go easy
There are streaks and badges if you enjoy them, but no walk has to be part of anything to matter. Take a day off whenever you like — it still counts when you come back.
A record worth keeping
Your routes, what you gathered, the neighborhoods you’ve walked. A nice thing to look back on, especially after a busy week.
Your neighborhood, noticed
Once you start looking for litter, you notice everything else too — neighbors out walking, what’s in bloom, the corner that always needs a little care.
Here’s how a walk goes.
01
Start whenever you’re ready
Your route draws itself on the map as you go. Slip your phone in your pocket and it keeps recording. With an Apple Watch, you can start from your wrist and it counts as a walking workout.
02
Note what you pick up
Count pieces or bags, whichever feels natural. Choose your bag size and the app works out the volume. Curious what something is? Point your camera at it.
03
Look back on it
Every walk is saved with its route, time and what you gathered. If you enjoy a little friendly company, neighborhood, city, state and national leaderboards show everyone’s effort adding up — by volume, so a bag of foam cups counts for what it really is.
04
See it all come together
Your own walks build a private map only you can see. And the Live map shows which neighborhoods have people out walking right now — anonymously, with no names and no locations.
A few friendly notes before you join.
- —It’s iPhone only for now. We hope to bring it to Android someday.
- —It asks for background location so it can keep recording your walk while your screen is off.
- —Your routes stay yours. The Live map only ever shares a neighborhood, never your location and never your name.
- —See the App Store listing and in-app subscription screen for current plans and pricing.
