Pick a task
A small nudge every morning. A stream, a view, a tree. Nothing you have to travel far for.
Go outside with one person you actually know.
You both take on the same task, you both go outside, and afterwards you have something that would not exist without both of you. On your own it works just as well.

Four small steps to your next microadventure.
Head outside
No timer, no pressure. You go when it suits you. The walk is the task.
Show you were there
One photo with place and time. Honest, no filter, nothing made up. Just you and the moment.
Keep at it, at your own pace
No daily pressure. Calm weekly streaks, XP and a collection that feels earned. No casino.
Outside, no two days look the same.
Small paths, quiet places, honest moments. A glimpse of what's waiting.
Everything that gets you out. Nothing that nags.
Honest photo proof
Every photo carries place and time. No filter, no made-up species, no polished tracking. What you show, you really did.
Daily tasks
Small quests that fit the place. Never more than a walk can hold. A small nudge to get out every morning.
Calm weekly streaks
Progress by the week, not the day. One missed day breaks nothing. XP and a collection that feels earned, without the casino.

Frequently asked questions
What is a microadventure?
A microadventure is a small task outdoors, close enough to fit inside a short walk, no big trip, no gear. Glenby suggests one or two a day, matched to the season and your area, and a photo with place and timestamp honestly shows you were there.
How much time outside per week is good for you?
As little as 10 minutes outside shows a measurable effect, and around 120 minutes a week is considered the wellbeing threshold (White et al., 2019 study). A daily microadventure on Glenby doesn't need hours at a time to fit inside that.
Why doesn't Glenby plan routes for long hikes?
Because that's not the problem Glenby is trying to solve. Instead of planning long tours, Glenby focuses on small, recurring occasions right outside your door, the microadventure principle: honest photo proof instead of route tracking, calm weekly streaks instead of performance stats.
Today's a good day to get outside.
Glenby is out on Android. For iOS you can sign up and we'll message you at launch.
