Every hike has a story — the early start, the weather that turned, the view that made it worth it. Waymark keeps them. Waymark is a hiking journal and log for iPhone. It imports the hikes you record with Apple Watch — or any app that writes to Apple Health — as well as GPX and FIT files, and keeps them as one timeline: route, elevation, heart rate, photos, weather, and your own words. It’s your journal, not a fitness leaderboard. YOUR HIKES, IMPORTED - Apple Health: Bring in hikes recorded with Apple Watch or other apps, with route, heart rate, and energy along for the ride. The past 12 months import free; Waymark Premium brings in your whole history. - GPX and FIT files: Use another watch or app? Import open-format GPX tracks or Garmin™ FIT files, heart rate included. - Manual entries: Hiked without recording anything? Add an entry with its own location, distance, and elevation gain. EVERY HIKE, IN FULL - Key stats: Distance, elevation gain, duration, energy, and average and max heart rate at a glance. - Route and elevation profile: Relive the hike on an interactive map — where you rested, where you pushed, how the trail climbed. - Heart rate zones: See how hard the hike really was. - Your photos: The photos you took on the hike, with your best shots highlighted. - Weather: The day’s conditions appear automatically. - The journal part: Name your hikes, rate them 1 to 5 stars, bookmark the ones that matter, and write down what’s worth remembering. Search by name, place, or note. MULTI-DAY TRIPS Group hikes into one trip for a backcountry weekend or a week on the trail. A trip tallies distance and elevation across its legs, draws every route on one map, and keeps the photos from camp. YEARS OUTDOORS Personal stats for every year and for your whole hiking life: how far you walked, how much you climbed, and the hikes that stand out — highest point, longest day, biggest climb. HIKING PLANS Keep a list of where you want to go next. Search for a trail, import a GPX track, enter one yourself, or turn a logged hike into a plan worth repeating. A plan compares its distance, elevation gain, and steepness against your own journal, estimates your time to finish from hikes you’ve actually recorded, and shows the forecast, month-by-month weather at the trailhead, and the drive to get there. Share it as a GPX track, or as a Waymark plan a friend can open in the app. WORTH SHARING Share a hike with one tap, using designs made for the social app of your choice. Your card can carry a photo or a map, plus the stats from the trail. WAYMARK PREMIUM Waymark Premium builds your complete outdoor history — not just the last 12 months — and unlocks each hike’s insights: the elevation profile against distance, heart rate zones on the map with the hardest push marked, your photos laid along the route, and a personal leaderboard for trails you hike again and again. For plans, Premium adds the journal comparison, the time-to-finish estimate, and the full forecast and monthly weather. Entries you’ve unlocked stay unlocked, even after a membership ends — it’s only fair. POLISHED, AND ON YOUR SIDE Waymark is made by an avid hiker, so it’s opinionated: - Private by design: No account to sign up for. Your data lives in your own iCloud account. - Works offline: Open your entries in the backcountry, jot down your thoughts, and check your route and photos. Sync catches up when you’re back in range. - At home on your iPhone: Waymark has a personality, but the design feels native. - Localized: More than a dozen languages, with local conventions for units, dates, and calendars. - Accessible: Optimized for VoiceOver and Dynamic Type. A lamplight palette keeps the warmth in Dark Mode. ---- Give Waymark a try. Your first entry starts at the trailhead ;) ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **Subscriptions** | Subscription | Price | Period | | --- | --- | --- | | Waymark Premium | $14.99 | per year | **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | Waymark Premium (Lifetime) | $39.99 | one-time | ## Is Waymark safe?

Waymark 1.6 is a maintenance update, with bug fixes and improvements throughout the app. Thank you, and hope you’ll enjoy the update! Please let us know about any questions or feedback. ### 1.5 — 2026-09-15 Hi there! Waymark 1.5 introduces Hiking Plans — a place for the hikes you’re going to do, right beside the journal of the ones you’ve done. ◎ Hiking Plans Plan your next hike: search for a trail, import a GPX track, or enter one yourself — or turn a logged hike into a plan worth repeating. Know what you’re in for: a plan compares its distance, elevation gain, and steepness against your own journal, and estimates your time to finish from the hikes you’ve actually recorded. Check the conditions: a forecast for the days ahead and month-by-month weather at the trailhead, plus the driving time to get there. Share a plan: send it to a friend as a GPX track, or as a Waymark plan they can open right in the app. Pin the plans you’re serious about; archive the ones you’ve done — they stay searchable alongside your journal. Personal analysis and weather insights are part of Waymark Premium. Thank you, and hope you’ll enjoy the update! Please let us know about any questions or feedback. ### 1.4 — 2026-09-05 Hi there! Waymark 1.4 brings a round of improvements to the app. ◎ New languages Waymark now speaks Danish, Dutch, Norwegian Bokmål, and Swedish. ◎ Share cards New size: a 2:3 aspect ratio joins the options, by popular request. Transparent cards: the Map and Minimal templates can save with a transparent background — perfect for overlaying your route and stats in, say, Instagram Stories. Pick your elements: choose what shows on the card, down to each key metric. Polished animations: composing a card feels smoother and more joyous. ◎ Other improvements Personal stats: the bar chart is easier to read, and each bar subtly hints at the hikes that make up its month or year. Offline import: a batch workout import with no network connection is no longer held up by a Maps message shown in error. Thank you, and hope you’ll enjoy the update! Please let us know about any questions or feedback. ### 1.3 — 2026-08-29 Hi there! Waymark 1.3 is here with new features and refinements. ◎ New features Highlights: standout hikes — the highest point, the biggest climb, the longest distance — become keepsake cards, for each year and for your whole journal. Stats by year: personal stats can show a single year or your entire lifetime, stepping between years one at a time. ◎ Improvements Photo picks: analysis results are now remembered, so each photo is scored once ever, and picks appear faster. Offline entries: photos still display without an internet connection, and an entry saved offline gets its location looked up the next time the device is online. Smoother maps: pinch-zooming the full-screen map stays smooth, even on long routes. Trip maps: each leg draws in its own color with a numbered start pin. Tapping a pin zooms in on that leg. Workout import: a batch run can also hide workouts, and Hide now lives in each row’s menu. VoiceOver: stats, buttons, and controls across the app now describe themselves more clearly. ◎ Bug fixes * Opening the full-screen map could show the Photos permission prompt uninvited. Fixed: a Show Photos button asks first. * The photo highlights grid could lay out unevenly. Fixed. * Very long names crowded the cards on the timeline. Fixed: titles keep to two lines. * With the device set to the Japanese or Buddhist calendar, heart-rate zone settings could crash and yearly stats could show the wrong years. Fixed: years now follow your calendar throughout. Hope you’ll enjoy this update! Please feel free to reach out for questions and feedback. ### 1.2 — 2026-08-25 Hi there! Waymark 1.2 is here with new features and refinements. ◎ New features Personal stats: View your hikes, distance, and elevation on an interactive chart, by month or by year. Weather: every entry now shows the conditions and temperature range from the day it was recorded. GPX export: a hike’s route can be shared as a GPX file, for a friend or a navigation app. ◎ Improvements Photo highlights: the photo grid can show just the best photos, with standout shots enlarged. Editable details: distance and elevation gain can be adjusted on any entry. Elevation accuracy: faulty altitude readings are repaired, and elevation charts stay steady on flat routes. Elevation profile colors: the map and chart adopt a more prominent set of colors for local grades. This helps you surface steep sections more easily. Share cards: title, location, and date details are edited from a single menu. ◎ Bug fixes * Fixed some issues with localization in English for the US, the UK and Australia. * Fixed an issue where the user could not import workouts in a batch despite there being multiple fresh workouts in the past 30 days. * Fixed an issue with a missing “Done” button on the “What’s New” page. Hope you’ll enjoy this update!
