PATH Companion is a free tool to help you track your exercise progress alongside the PATH web application. Newly rebuilt as a fast, native app, it brings smoother performance and more reliable syncing with Apple Health. • Everything stays in sync - Add records on your phone or the web and they update automatically in both places, so your progress is always current. • Sync with Apple Health - Turn it on once and PATH Companion submits your daily active energy from your Apple Watch automatically, syncing in the background even when the app is closed. • Use the built-in pedometer - Tap Start, tuck your phone in a pocket or armband, and go. Follow your route on the live map, then tap Finish to save. Your steps upload to your PATH account automatically. • Enter progress manually - Log calories, steps, miles, or time spent exercising. For activities, use the Activities-to-Conversion list to turn any activity into steps or calories, add a mood, and submit. For the most accurate results, keep your height, weight, and stride length up to date in the app. We're here to help PATH members live life to the fullest, thriving at work, at home, and in our communities!
