## What is Trail Running & GPX?

Draw your route on the map or bring your own GPX, then run it with confidence. Ridge follows your route in real time, warns you the moment you drift off-trail, and turns every run into detailed elevation, pace and split data.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Draw your route on the map, import any GPX — from Apple Health, Strava or any file — or pick a route in Discover
2. Run or hike with live guidance on iPhone or Apple Watch
3. Relive every climb, kilometer and heartbeat afterwards

EVERYTHING YOU NEED ON THE TRAIL
• Route drawing: point by point on the map, snapped to the trails, and any route can be edited, GPX included
• Share by link: friends get the exact same route, notes included
• Discover: hand-picked trail and hiking routes with photos, map and profile, added in one tap
• Live off-route alerts - even with your phone locked
• Arrival time based on the climbing still ahead, adjusted to your pace
• Grade-colored trace: see every climb before you hit it
• Full elevation profile: D+/D−, min/max, steepness
• Automatic splits, laps, pace & heart rate
• Course notes anchored to the kilometer, synced to your Watch
• Standalone Apple Watch app - leave your phone at home
• Live stats on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island
• Widgets: your route and your week on the Home Screen and Lock Screen
• Atlas: every run you've recorded, on one map

WHO IT'S FOR
Trail runners, ultra runners, hikers. Draw your own route, bring a GPX, or pick one in Discover.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.5.1 — 2026-10-24

Optimized for iPhone Duo: two-column library and activity, live run with elevation profile, and a route editor and paywall redesigned for the big screen.

### 1.5.0 — 2026-10-19

• Arrival time. During your outing, Ridge gives your arrival time from the climbs and descents still ahead, then adjusts it to your pace. On the Watch, on iPhone and on the Lock Screen.
• Widgets (Ridge Pro). The route of your choice and your week (distance, elevation gain, outings) on the Home Screen and the Lock Screen.
• More accurate time estimates, especially for hiking, worked out in the direction you take the route.
• Fix: on a loop that comes back the way it went out, progress no longer drops back to zero near the finish.

### 1.4.1 — 2026-10-13

• Share by link. The Share button now sends a link: whoever gets it opens the route in Ridge, identical to the metre, with your notes. Without Ridge, the link shows the map and offers the GPX file.
• GPX files. Ridge now appears in the Share menu of GPX files you receive in Messages, Mail or Files.
• GPX export is still there, in the route's ••• menu.

Questions or ideas: support@ridgetrail.app

### 1.4.0 — 2026-10-10

• Route drawing. Draw a route point by point on the map: it follows the trails, or runs in a straight line where there are none.
• Alpine sections. An option allows T4–T5 sections and via ferratas in the route, flagged in orange and red.
• Route editing. Any of your routes can be edited, imported GPX files and Discover hikes included.

Questions or ideas: support@ridgetrail.app

### 1.3.1 — 2026-10-07

• iCloud backup. Your routes and outings are copied to your iCloud Drive, in a Ridge folder. They come back even if you delete the app.
