Keep the places, activities, photos and people that make up your life. Paths is a visual journal for the life you live. Start with photos, bring in activity you have already recorded, create a route, or simply log something without one. A run, a ride, a trip, a favourite café, a tennis session, a familiar route or a day worth keeping can all become a Path. START WITH WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE Pick a few photos and let Paths create a visual for you. Bring in walks and workouts from Apple Health, choose from your Strava history, upload activity files or paste route links from Google Maps or Komoot. Bring in one activity at a time or import in bulk. CREATE IT YOUR WAY Record a route live as you go and take photos along the way. Paths automatically pins each photo to where it was taken using its location data. You can also describe where you went or draw the route yourself. No route? Log a class, match, workout or other activity. MAKE EACH PATH YOUR OWN Give each Path a name and add the photos, people and places that belong with it. Keep the details that make it more than an activity record or route. MORE THAN TRACKING Distance, pace and route can tell you what happened. Paths lets you keep the wider context: who was there, where you went, the photos you took and why it mattered. Use Paths as an activity diary, travel journal, visual record or simply one place for the different parts of your life. BUILD SERIES & ALBUMS Bring related Paths together around a trip, a place, a season, a goal or a person. Build Albums with photographs and details, and view related Paths together as a Combined Visual. FIND YOUR WAY BACK Browse your calendar by day, search your archive by place, activity or name, or explore your Paths across the world map. SEND, GIFT OR SHARE Send or gift a Path to someone who was there, add your own message, or share a Path or Series through the apps you already use. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your Paths and photographs are private until you choose to share them. Start with a few photos, a place, an activity or a moment you want to keep. Make it your first Path.
