About outfor

Built for one question: is today worth it?

Every morning outfor reads light, wind, water and trails and turns them into a decision. Launching in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

A hand holds a phone showing the outfor Today screen above a wooden jetty, with a mirror-still mountain lake in morning mist behind it.

Most apps ask how fast you were.outfor asks before you go: where to today?

The idea

A number that explains itself.

Instead of “24° and partly cloudy”, it says: trail shoes will do today. To get there, outfor combines visibility, wind, temperature, trail conditions and crowds into an outdoor score from 0 to 100, weighted for your place, your sport and your time of day.

Tap the number to see what it’s made of and what raises or lowers it.

Where it starts

Launching in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

Across all three, outfor knows which lake lies still in the morning, when popular spots get busy and how long the views last. The map shows Berchtesgadener Land, where the examples on this page come from.

What we stick to

Honest, not loud.

No leaderboards.

outfor shows where it’s worth going, not who was fastest there.

You decide who sees what.

Every activity starts private. Afterwards you can share it with friends or anyone with the link.

Every number has a reason.

Tap the outdoor score to see what raises it and what lowers it.
