Export your Apple Health workouts as GPX files — every workout, every activity type, with the sensor data your other apps expect. WorkoutGPX connects directly to Apple Health and turns any GPS‑tracked workout into an industry‑standard GPX file you can open in Strava, Garmin Connect, Komoot, Google Earth, or any mapping app. Whether you want to analyze a run, share a cycling route, back up years of hikes, or move your data off your watch, WorkoutGPX makes it a few taps. KEY FEATURES • Your Complete History: No limits. Browse and export every workout Apple Health has recorded, going back as far as your data does. • Every Activity Type: Running, walking, hiking, cycling, swimming, skiing, rowing, and any other workout with a GPS route. Workouts without location data are tucked away so the list shows only what you can export. • Export One or Many: Swipe a workout to share its GPX file, or tap Select, tick the workouts you want or Select All for the current filter, and share every file in one go. Workouts without GPS are skipped and listed, never silently dropped. • Hide Your Start and End: Leave the first and last stretch of every route out of the files you export, from 200 m to 1 km (⅛ to ½ mile), so a shared run doesn't lead to your door. The map shows the hidden part in gray. • Shortcuts: Export your latest workout, or every workout between two dates, with the Shortcuts app. • Rich GPX Files: Each track point carries timestamp, coordinates, and elevation, and with Include Sensor Data on, heart rate, cadence, power, speed, and course from Health, using the standard Garmin extensions — so fitness platforms import your full effort, not just the line on the map. • Built‑in Route Viewer: See each route on the map, colored by effort (which follows the grade) or by elevation, with peaks and valleys marked. Scrub the elevation profile to follow your progress point by point. • Smart Filters: Narrow your workouts by activity type and date range with quick presets. Your filters are remembered and stay in place while you export, so bulk‑exporting a trip is fast. • Effortless Sharing: Send GPX files via AirDrop, Messages, Mail, Files, cloud storage, or any app that accepts files. Every export is also kept in the Files app, in the WorkoutGPX folder. • Your Choice of Units and Map: Kilometers or miles, standard, satellite, or hybrid maps, adjustable line width, and optional sensor data in exports. • Privacy First: WorkoutGPX has no servers, no accounts and no analytics. All processing happens on your device, and your health data only leaves it when you choose to share a file. Open your exports in GPX Explore on iPhone, iPad and Mac: every climb found and rated, any route ridden turn by turn, and tracks drawn or fixed. WorkoutGPX is for athletes tracking training, travelers documenting trips, and anyone who wants full control over their own workout data.
