About

Features
Read full description

Uncover your path in the world, one workout at a time. Sentiero turns your outdoor workouts into an exploration map. Everywhere you've walked, run, cycled, or hiked is revealed. Everywhere you haven't been stays hidden under fog. The map starts completely covered. As you complete new workouts, the fog clears around your routes, exposing the topographic terrain beneath. Over time, you build a personal map of everywhere you've been—a picture of your world that only you could make. Sentiero reads your existing workout routes from Apple Health. There's nothing to record or configure. If you've been tracking outdoor workouts with your iPhone or Apple Watch, your map is already waiting. All data stays on your device. No accounts, no servers, no analytics.
