ilaaka

A fitness territory game for India

Apna Ilaaka.
Apni Fitness.

The fitness app where every step claims territory. Walk, run, or cycle your neighbourhood — your route locks in coloured zones on the map. Friends can steal them back. You walk again to defend.

The loop

Walk it. Claim it. Defend it.

Three steps, one habit. The map remembers every street you covered — and so do your friends.

Priya captured your zone

420 m of Road No. 12 is now hers. Walk it back to take it.

Defend or expand.

Friends and rivals can re-walk your streets to flip them. Walk back to take them. Every week resets the leaderboard.

Why people stay

Built for honest walks.

Four answers to the four questions every sceptical Indian friend asks before installing.

F.01

Your real neighbourhood, gamified.

The map is your streets, not a fictional world. Recognise every road you claim — Banjara Hills, Jubilee Hills, Gachibowli.

F.02

Friendly rivalry, not chores.

No daily streak guilt-trips. Lose your zone? Get a notification. Walk back when you feel like it.

F.03

Crews of 10.

Form a crew with your building, society or running group. Claim territory together. Cap is 10 for cohesion.

F.04

Privacy by design.

Your home is yours. Configure a private radius and your zones there stay invisible to everyone.

Made to share

When your run looks this good, you'll want to share it.

Before you ask

Five honest answers.

  • Speed, the shape of the trace, and how it pauses. Cars sweep wide arcs at corners and don't slow at footpaths; scooters don't stop the way walkers do at signals and crossings. Anything that looks vehicular gets thrown out before it claims a single cell. If a route on your map still looks fishy, the in-app report comes straight to me.

Hi, I'm Sri.

I built Ilaaka because the fitness apps I tried felt either chore-like (track everything, hit numbers, never miss a day) or disconnected from the city I actually live in. A run in Jubilee Hills feels different from a run in Banjara Hills — the map should know that.

If you try Ilaaka and something feels off, write to me directly: sricharan.rayala@dotportion.com. I read every email, and your feedback genuinely changes what I build next.
