About

Specter Fit

Features
Read full description

Specter is fitness tracking that keeps your real location yours. Every route you record is cryptographically rotated on your device before anything is uploaded — the real GPS never leaves your phone. What the world sees is a "cover route": the exact shape and distance of your workout, transposed onto a decoy city. Your performance is real; your location is nobody's business. • Record runs, rides, hikes, walks, and swims with GPS, pace, splits, elevation, heart rate, cadence, and power. • Apple Watch app + Apple Health: pull in heart rate, sleep, and workouts. • Compete on cover-city leaderboards and curated challenges — without ever exposing where you actually train. • Your biometrics (heart rate, power, calories, sleep) are private to you and never shown publicly. • No ads. No trackers. No analytics SDKs. No selling your data. • Full data export and one-tap account deletion with cryptographic erasure. Privacy-first, by construction — not by policy.
