Plan your trails wherever you go

Whether you’re hiking through remote mountains or biking across the city, wanderer makes it easy to plan, record, and revisit your adventures. Draw new routes, upload GPS files, and access your trail data from any device — all while keeping full control over your data.

Import your trails from your favourite providers

Already tracking your adventures with Komoot or Strava? wanderer makes it easy to bring your existing trail history with you.

Explore together, even apart

wanderer isn’t just about trails — it’s about the people who share them. Follow other users to see their latest routes, like and comment on trails you love, and get notified when someone adds something new. Whether you’re part of a local hiking group or just discovering new paths, wanderer makes it easy to stay connected — across instances and platforms.

Decentralized

wanderer is built on the ActivityPub protocol, meaning your instance can connect with others to share trails, profiles, and updates. Follow users across the network, discover new trails from different communities, and interact seamlessly with other federated platforms like Mastodon — all without relying on a central server.

Privacy-first, always

Self-hosted and open-source, wanderer puts you in full control of your data. No tracking, no vendor lock-in, no compromises — your trails stay on your server.

Full-featured API

Automate your workflows or build on top of wanderer with its comprehensive JSON API. Access, modify, and query your trail data programmatically.
