You walk.
You get nowhere.
On purpose.
Nowhere is a privacy-first tracker for under-desk treadmills. It counts every step you take at your desk — distance, time, the whole quiet marathon — and keeps all of it on your device. Maximum effort. Zero displacement. Logged as yours.
No account, no spam — one email the day Nowhere lands. See how it works ›

You put in the kilometres. You end up exactly where you started.
Most fitness apps dress net-zero distance up as progress toward somewhere. Nowhere doesn't. An under-desk treadmill is the one machine you work hard on and go nowhere — so we tell you the truth, and make it the point. It reads your treadmill directly, counts the effort honestly, and keeps the receipt on your device. Nothing to chase. Nowhere to be.
Pair, walk, see your nowhere.
Three steps, then it stays out of your way. No hub, no login, nothing to configure the second time.
Pair over Bluetooth
Wake the treadmill, hit pair. Nowhere speaks LifeSpan natively and standard FTMS for the rest — walking pads and full-size alike. It reads only what the treadmill already broadcasts.
Walk at your desk
Answer the email, take the call, read the thing. Nowhere counts steps, distance, speed and time live while the belt runs — and keeps counting through the quiet gaps between batches.
See your nowhere
A walking calendar, a daily goal, per-session detail, and how today stacks up against your last walking day at the same time. All of it, all yours.
Precise instrumentation. Nothing you didn't ask for.
Everything you need to see your walking — and nothing that quietly reports it back to anyone.
Live session & today
Watch steps, speed, distance and time climb as you walk, then see the day add up. Read straight off the treadmill over Bluetooth, in real time.
Walking calendar & goals
A contribution-style heatmap of every day you walked, a daily step goal, and full session history with trends. The quiet cumulative record of everywhere you didn't go.
Vs your last walking day
See how today's steps stack up against the same point in your previous walking day — measured at the same time of day, so the comparison is fair. Ahead or behind, at a glance.
Yours, and offline
Everything is stored locally and the full tracker runs entirely offline, forever. Nothing about your data depends on us staying online — or staying at all.
End-to-end encrypted sync
Want your history on more than one machine? Turn on sync. It's encrypted on your device with a key we never see — the server only ever holds ciphertext. Off by default.
LifeSpan + generic FTMS
A native adapter for LifeSpan under-desk treadmills, plus any treadmill that broadcasts standard FTMS — walking pads and full-size, model-dependent. Track several and roll them together.
Built on Trot — the open-source (GPLv3) engine that does the talking. Nowhere bundles it and runs it locally on your machine.
We can't sell your steps. We never have them.
Nowhere was built after a vendor retired their app and locked owners out of their own data. So it's local-first: every walk is stored on your device and stays there. Nothing leaves unless you turn on cloud sync in Settings — and if you do, it's end-to-end encrypted so the server can never read it.
No PII. No workout data collected. The business runs on entitlements — never on you.
One exception, stated rather than buried: once per install the app sends a random ID plus the platform and version, so we can count how many installs exist. It says nothing about you or your walking, it is sent at most once, and it stops for good after three failed attempts. It's written into the app's first-run notice too.
Same honest tracker, one codebase.
One small codebase, built per platform. macOS and the web PWA work today, iOS is in TestFlight, and Android is close behind. Windows is deliberately last — it isn't listed as working until it has been tested on a real Windows machine with a real treadmill.
Free to walk. And free again, for now.
The full local tracker is free forever. Plus adds data portability and optional encrypted sync — and during the beta, everything Plus offers is free too. Nothing is purchasable yet.

The things people actually ask.
Which treadmills work?
LifeSpan under-desk treadmills with the Omni console, via their native Bluetooth protocol. Beyond that, any treadmill that speaks the standard Bluetooth fitness profile (FTMS) — Horizon, Technogym MyRun, WalkingPad and others — though support there is model-dependent. Nowhere only ever reads what your treadmill already broadcasts; it never controls the belt.
Do I need an account?
No. The tracker runs entirely on your device with no login, no email and no password. An account only exists if you choose to turn on cloud sync, and even then it's an anonymous random key rather than a profile.
What stays free?
Everything that runs offline on your device: connecting your treadmill, tracking, history, statistics and goals. That's the reason Nowhere exists, and it stays free. After the beta, features that cost money to run — cloud sync between devices, and exporting/importing your data — become paid, as a subscription or a one-time payment. During the beta all of it is unlocked and free.
If the cloud is end-to-end encrypted, can you recover my data?
No — and that's the point. Your data is encrypted on your device with a key we never receive, so the server holds ciphertext it cannot read. Keep your key. If you lose it, we cannot decrypt your backup for you, because we genuinely can't.
Can I use it in Firefox or Safari?
You can open the web app, but you won't be able to connect a treadmill there. Connecting requires Web Bluetooth, which only Chromium-based browsers (Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera) implement — Firefox and Safari have both declined to. On an iPhone every browser is Safari underneath, so use the iOS app instead.
What happens to my data if Nowhere shuts down?
It stays where it always was: on your device. That's the whole design — Nowhere exists because a vendor retired their app and locked owners out of their own history. The tracking engine is open source (GPLv3), and your data exports to plain JSON or CSV whenever you like.
Does it track me?
No walking data ever leaves your device unless you switch on sync. The single exception is disclosed above and in the app itself: one ping per install carrying a random ID, platform and version, so we can count installs. It's sent at most once and stops permanently after three failed attempts.
Is it really called Nowhere?
You walk several kilometres and arrive at precisely the spot you started. Naming it anything else would have been dishonest.
