A compass
for the places
you wander to.

NuWay turns your phone and your wrist into a living compass for the city. Save the spots that catch your eye, point at them with a smooth 3D arrow, and walk the way travelers actually walk — by feel.

— A field note on the way we travel today

Somewhere between step-by-step directions and a paper map lost in your back pocket, there's a better way to walk through a city you've never seen.

NuWay is built for the wanderer: a beautifully simple compass that points at your next destination and lets the streets fill in the rest. No reroutes. No chatter. Just a little arrow, the distance, and the feeling that you'll stumble into something good on the way.

01 — Features

Everything you need, nothing you don't.

01

A living 3D compass arrow

Open any saved place and a smooth three-dimensional pointer rotates toward it in real time as you move, with the distance written plainly underneath. Raise your eyes, walk, and let the arrow do the worrying.

02

Places, folders, and a grid of tiny compasses

Organize your trip into folders — Rome Day 1, Museums, Coffee — and browse them as a list or as a two-column grid of miniature compass cards, each one already pointing at its target.

03

Explore the map like a local

Search restaurants, museums, hotels, cafés, parks, shops, pharmacies, bars, bathrooms, markets, and more. Filter by category, drop a pin on anything that catches your eye, and add it to your places in one tap.

04

Open hours, photos, the real story

Tap a place for the full picture — photos, opening hours, ratings, a contact card. No more walking twenty minutes to a closed museum because the sign said so.

05

Your wrist becomes the compass

Every place you open on iPhone mirrors to Apple Watch automatically. The Watch pointer uses the heading sensor to rotate as you turn, so a glance at your wrist is all the map you need.

06

Three regional skins, one feeling

Choose the aesthetic that matches your trip — cool and coastal Nordic, warm and dusty Desert, sun-baked Mediterranean. Your Apple Watch inherits the theme too, if you want.

02 — Inside the app

Small moments, meticulously designed.

Home — Exploring Paris?

A gentle greeting, recent destinations, and how far you walked today.

Places — your quiet grid

A two-column card view, each tile already pointing to its destination.

Explore — find what's around you

Tap a category, search a street, long-press anywhere to drop a pin. The map stays clean — the filters stay out of your way.

One app, two screens

Every place syncs instantly to Apple Watch — list on one face, pointer on the other.

03 — Regional skins

Three palettes, one NuWay.

iii. vi

Because a stroll through Lisbon shouldn't feel like a hike in Tromsø. Each skin changes the entire atmosphere of the app — colors, textures, even the decorative patterns behind your trip summary.

Nordic Nordic theme of NuWay, cool blue and gray
Cool and coastal. Deep fjord blues and misty horizon grays.
Mediterranean Mediterranean theme of NuWay, warm tan and terracotta
Warm terracotta, olive shade, a breeze off the water.
Desert Desert theme of NuWay, sun-baked golden sand
Sun-baked sand and slow gold light, for long afternoons.
04 — Apple Watch

Leave your phone in your pocket.

Every place you open on iPhone mirrors to your Watch automatically. No pairing dance, no extra tap.

The Watch pointer rotates with your wrist using the compass sensor, so a quick glance tells you exactly which way to go — hands free for a camera, a gelato, a map that's older than your grandparents.

Swipe for the list, raise your wrist for the arrow. That's the whole interaction model.
