## What is Trace?

Trace is a precision GPS speedometer that quietly remembers every trip. No account needed — your speed, routes, and history stay on your device, syncing only to your own iCloud if you turn it on. It's your private location timeline: a map of everywhere you've been that lives on your phone, never on anyone's server.

• Custom analog dial or digital readout
• Personalized stat tiles: top speed, distance, moving time & more
• Multiple layouts: Classic, Big Digital, HUD Mirror, Hybrid Pro, Analog Dial, Track Day, Pace, Navigator

RECORD + EXPLORE
• Track every walk, run, bike & drive — plus motorcycle, hike, train, sailing & more
• Live Activity + Dynamic Island show your speed without unlocking
• Background-safe GPS — your trip survives the screen turning off
• Home-Screen widgets, including a live map of your latest trip
• Import your Apple Health workouts — runs, walks, hikes & rides, routes included

YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS

### 5/5 — Just works

*2026-08-13*

Mount the phone, start a trip, lock the screen — speed shows up in the Dynamic Island the whole drive. Battery is fine, and the recording keeps going with the screen off, which is where a lot of these apps quietly fall over.
The HUD mirror layout for night driving is a nice touch. Small thing but it’s clearly made by someone who actually drives.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review. Hope you enjoy the app!

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.3.4 — 2026-09-04

1.3.4

• The speedometer shows 0 when you stop. No more wrong speed at a red light.
• Auto-Record starts faster, stops when you park, and now records walks and runs.
• Choose how often you get trip notifications: every trip, once a day, or never.
• Bug fixes and small improvements.

1.3.3

• More accurate distance, top speed and elevation gain.
• The app always opens ready to record on Auto.

1.3.2

• A redrawn heatmap. Your routes now read clearly at every zoom: crisp, road-width lines up close, and single trips stay easy to spot when you zoom out to a whole city or country. Color tells you how often you've been somewhere — not how far you've zoomed in.
• Auto-Record polish: trips you take over mid-recording are handled consistently, and the save screen tells you exactly where you stand.

1.3.0

Trace can now record trips for you. Auto-Record captures your drives, rides and walks in the background — you review them later and keep the ones you want. Prefer to stay hands-on? A lighter mode just reminds you to press Record when you're on the move.

Also new:

• Auto mode — just hit Record and go. No more picking Walking or Driving first: Auto handles any trip, from a stroll to a highway drive, and the speedometer and route colors adapt to your pace as you move. You can always name the activity later from the trip itself.
• The speedometer fits your trip now: it starts at a sensible range and grows as you speed up. Set your own speed limit and everything above it shows red.
• Distance is more accurate, especially on walks, runs and curvy routes. Lost GPS shows as a gap, not a made-up straight line.
• iCloud sync is faster and more reliable.
• Optional evening summary of your day's trips.
• Refreshed colors and lots of small fixes.

No account, no ads. Your trips stay yours.
