ActivePath builds the workout route you want, every time. Whether you're running, walking, or cycling, ActivePath builds routes shaped by: how far, how hard, what kind of terrain, what's nearby, even your mood. Then it tracks every step, celebrates your wins, and shows you how much of your city and the world you've explored. THE PERFECT ROUTE, GENERATED Every route is built around you. Choose by distance, duration, exertion level, terrain, or mood. Drop in points of interest you want to pass like a park, a coffee shop, or a viewpoint, and ActivePath stitches them into a real route that works. Your previous workouts inform what comes next, so the suggestions get sharper over time. ONE APP, EVERY CARDIO GOAL Beyond freeform routes, you'll find a growing catalog of structured workouts like track sessions, classic HIIT formats, tempo intervals, and recovery loops, ready to start with a tap. New formats land regularly. ActivePath is built to be your one-stop shop for cardio. TRAINING PLANS THAT MEET YOU Build a personalized plan for a 5K, half marathon, century ride, or general fitness. Plans adapt to skipped days, fatigue, and your real fitness level. No rigid grid that breaks the first time you miss a workout. MEET DASH, YOUR AI COACH Dash is the conversational nucleus of the app. Ask for a flat 5-mile loop near parks. Ask for a recovery week before your next race. Ask what you should do today. Dash plans it, explains it, and helps you start. LIVE TRACKING + ACHIEVEMENTS + EXPLORATION Pace, distance, calories, heart rate, elevation, and turn-by-turn. All live, all clear. Earn achievements as you hit milestones. Watch your heatmap fill in as you cover more streets, more neighborhoods, more of your city and the world. CUSTOMIZE EVERYTHING Pace ranges, surface preferences, climb caps, voice cues, music integrations, units, watch behaviors. Almost every part of ActivePath bends to how you actually want to move. Built different for runners, walkers, and cyclists. SHARE THE WIN See what your neighbors are doing. Share routes you love so others can find them. Climb the leaderboard in your city. Join collective goals. ActivePath turns solo movement into shared momentum. PRIVACY FIRST Your location, your health data, your goals. They stay yours. Health integrations are opt-in, location is only used while the app is active or during a workout, and nothing is sold to advertisers. Open the app, pick a starting point, and ActivePath will build your next route in seconds. ———————————— SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS ActivePath requires a Pro subscription that starts with a 14-day free trial, renews automatically until cancelled, and includes every feature described above. • ActivePath Pro Monthly — $4.99 / month • ActivePath Pro Annual — $44.99 / year (save 25% on monthly) Payment is charged to your Apple ID account on confirmation of purchase.
