GPX Buddy vs Folego

Your Apple Watch tracks every run, ride, and hike. GPX Buddy sets that data free. Export any workout from HealthKit as a GPX file in seconds — open it in your favourite editor, or share it anywhere. AI Workout Summaries Get a smart, human-readable recap of every workout: pace insights, elevation highlights, and performance notes — generated automatically. Calorie Tracking Accurate calorie estimates based on your route, elevation changes, and body weight from HealthKit. Not just steps — real effort. Route Viewer & Replay Visualise your route on a map, replay it segment by segment, and zoom into any section. Export individual segments as separate files or merge multiple workouts into one. Seamless Sync iCloud Drive keeps all your GPX files in sync across your devices — browse them in Files or Finder, no cable needed. No ads. No subscription. Built by a solo developer who actually uses it. Feedback always welcome :)

Fôlego reads the VO2 Max your Apple Watch already estimates automatically — during outdoor walks or runs — and shows your cardiorespiratory fitness band right on your watch, in a half-circle gauge that shares the same visual language as the native UV Index and Air Quality complications. HOW IT WORKS No sign-up, no login, nothing to type in. Fôlego reads three pieces of information that already exist in the Health app — VO2 Max, date of birth, and biological sex — and automatically calculates which of 6 bands (from Very Low to Superior) your cardio fitness falls into, using the same reference standard as the American College of Sports Medicine guidelines. ON YOUR WATCH • A Summary screen with the gauge and your current band • A history chart of the last several months • Complications for analog and digital watch faces (Modular, Infograph, Compass, and more), across circular, corner, rectangular, and inline families • Updates on its own whenever Health logs a new estimate PRIVACY Health access is read-only — Fôlego never writes or modifies anything. There's no account and no server: everything it calculates stays on your own iPhone and Apple Watch. No analytics, no tracking, no ads. The iPhone app exists only to grant Health permission — Fôlego is, first and foremost, an Apple Watch app. Requires Apple Watch Series 4 or later (latest watchOS) and at least one VO2 Max estimate already recorded in Health.
