Mapulse lets the people close to you follow your race live, whether it is a trail, a marathon or an ultra, with nothing to install. You share a link, they open a web page: your position on the map, your heart rate, your pace and your elevation gain update there in real time. NOTHING TO INSTALL FOR THE PEOPLE FOLLOWING YOU One link, one web page. Your parents, your club or your friends have no account to create and no app to download. The link stays private: it is never indexed, and never guessable. YOUR WATCH OR STRAP OVER BLUETOOTH If your watch or heart rate strap broadcasts its heart rate over Bluetooth, Mapulse reads it and shares it with the people following you during the race. Your phone remains the source of your position. Not every watch can broadcast it: your watch's manual says whether it can. Mapulse only reads the device you picked. YOUR WATCH IS ENOUGH The Mapulse app on Apple Watch starts the activity and records the effort without the phone in range. Heart rate, distance, pace and duration are sent up as soon as the link is back. BUILT FOR NETWORK BLACKOUTS In the mountains, the network disappears. Mapulse keeps recording and catches up as soon as the signal returns, with no gap in the track and no duplicates. This behaviour has been proven on a real race. TOGETHER A session can gather several runners. The people following you see them all on the same map, each with their own live metrics. WHAT YOU SHARE IS YOUR CALL Health data is collected only after an explicit consent, kept separate from sign-up. You can stop sharing at any time, and delete your account from the app. Mapulse is built in France. Data is hosted in Europe. Note: the app interface is currently available in French only. ## Is Mapulse safe? Not enough ratings yet to assess Mapulse. ## Is Mapulse legit?

The start and finish are hidden over 200 m so they don't show where you live. Export your race as GPX from the summary, for Strava or another app. Reminders: one hour before the start, to remember to send the link to the people following you, and the next day if a planned session never started. Each one can be turned off in Profile, Notifications. With a Bluetooth watch or chest strap, the session screen checks that your heart rate is coming through before you start. When GPS reception is poor, the race screen says so, and the people following you no longer see an inaccurate position. The people following you see your phone battery and your race time to the second. A guide to compatible watches, brand by brand, in Profile, Watches and devices. Swipe between tabs in the session list, and many fixes. ### 1.1.0 — 2026-10-09 New: heart rate from a chest strap or a watch over Bluetooth. If your device broadcasts its heart rate, Mapulse reads it during the race and the people following you see it live. A new screen to pick your device, with help to make it show up if it is not in the list. "Suspendre" really stops sharing during a break, and the break holds even if the app restarts. During the race, the map stays where you move it until you recenter it. If you decline precise location, the race still starts, with an approximate position. A clearer heart rate chart, and many reliability fixes. ### 1.0.1 — 2026-09-29 An invitation link received by a runner now opens Mapulse directly, instead of going through the browser. The app now only asks for “While Using the App” location access: it is enough to keep sharing for the whole race, with the phone locked or in a pocket. Refreshed App Store presentation. ### 1.0.0 — 2026-09-21 No release notes. ## Apps similar to Mapulse | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [SAINBIOSE - Client](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/sainbiose-client/id6770953765) | — | Free | Sports | | [YetiKrono — Suivi GPS course](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/yetikrono-suivi-gps-course/id6803861388) | — | Free | Sports | | [Forged](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/forged/id6743026344) | — | Free | Sports | | [Masterise](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/masterise/id1544996385) | — | Free | Sports | | [Boxing Squad](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/boxing-squad/id6763798203) | — | Free | Sports | | [Coachly](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/coachly/id6474193458) | — | Free | Sports | --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
