About
Traces records the routes you walk and the places you stop, and lights up the map where you've been. Your packing list and reminders live in the same app.
AUTO RECORD
Turn on Auto Record and the day's routes and stops are joined up in order, without opening the app each time. Battery Saver records approximate routes and stops on less power.
STOPS AND REPLAY
Stops are numbered in order. Distance, moving time and stops sit under the map, and you can replay any day from 1× to 128×.
FLOORS AND HIKES
Traces counts the floors you climb each day with your iPhone's motion sensors. On walks it logs elevation with the barometer and works out your ascent. Climb about 50 meters (160 ft) and it's recognized as a hike: the summit is marked on the map, with an elevation profile below.
FOOTPRINT
The places you pass through light up as tiles about 260 meters across. Old photos can light up tiles too: Traces reads only the capture location and time of the photos you allow, and never uploads them.
CARRY LIST AND MEDICATION REMINDERS
Group what you take when you go out, and get one reminder if something is still unchecked as you leave home. Medication reminders follow the names and times you enter. Traces does not give medical advice.
WATCH, WIDGETS AND DYNAMIC ISLAND
See today's distance, route shape and floors climbed on Apple Watch, in the Dynamic Island, on the Lock Screen and in Home Screen widgets. Turn the Dynamic Island on or off from Control Center.
PRIVACY
No account, no ads and no third-party analytics. Routes, stops, footprint and lists are stored on your devices.
