Every run you record becomes a ghost — a replay of the exact runner you were. Lace up, pick one, and race it. GhostLoop isn't about competing with strangers on a leaderboard. The only person you're chasing is the one you were last Tuesday. And you'll know exactly where they are the whole way. RACE YOUR PAST SELF • Every recorded run is saved as a ghost you can race any time • A live gap shows whether you're ahead or behind, meter by meter • Hear it happen: spoken splits, pace, and the moment your ghost passes you • Save your favorite routes as loops and build a library of rivals TRACK IT ANYWHERE • Outdoor GPS with map-matched routes and elevation • Treadmill mode: race indoors with no GPS, using your own calibrated stride • Rides and swims import from Apple Health — pace in min/100m for the pool • Apple Watch app: start a run, walk, or pool swim and see your ghost gap on your wrist • Auto-pause when you stop, auto-resume when you go SEE YOURSELF GET FASTER • Weekly and monthly trends, training load, best weeks, longest runs • Run streaks with rest days that don't break the chain • Elevation profiles and 3D route views • Personal records that only compare like with like — a bike ride never fakes a running PR RUN WITH YOUR CREW • Add friends and see their step counts on a live club leaderboard • Create step challenges — daily, weekly, monthly • Send a ghost to a friend so they can race your loop on their own feet • Ghost runners fill out the board so it stays competitive from day one YOUR DATA, YOUR CALL • Export any activity as GPX; import your history from other apps • Shared route images hide the start and end of your run • Detailed Health records stay on your device; only daily step totals and challenge progress sync to people you accept Outmove yesterday. Apple Health is used to read your step counts and import your own workouts. Location is used to track your route while you run. GhostLoop never sells your data.

Walk it. Loop it. Own it. TerraLoop turns real-world movement into a territory-control game. Walk, bike, or drive a closed loop and claim the ground inside it. Encircle a rival zone to capture it, overlap it to carve away a slice, or connect with friendly land to grow your team's domain. CLAIM THE REAL WORLD Start an activity and watch your route unfold live on the map. Return to where you began to close the loop, then let TerraLoop validate your route and turn the enclosed area into territory. CHOOSE HOW YOU MOVE Walk, bike, and drive modes each have their own territory pool, limits, and leaderboard competition. Pick the mode that fits your day and see how the map changes around you. TEAM UP OR FLY SOLO Join a team, found your own, or compete under a solo banner. Combine territory with teammates, customize your colors and emblem, forge alliances, and defend your corner of the map together. COMPETE AND PROGRESS Climb global and nearby leaderboards, complete daily and weekly quests, earn XP, unlock levels, and collect badges. Join time-limited events and regional leagues where teams battle for promotion and seasonal glory. DEFEND WHAT YOU CLAIM Territory changes hands when rivals close the right loop. Large zones take multiple successful attacks to conquer, while land left untouched gradually shrinks. Revisit your routes to reinforce your holdings and keep your map alive. RELIVE EVERY ROUTE Review your distance, area, streaks, and activity history. Replay past routes as animated trails and share selected replays with friends through a private link. BUILT FOR FAIR PLAY Routes are checked on the server for speed, teleporting, and other suspicious GPS signals before territory is awarded, helping keep every claim competitive. TerraLoop is free to play. All you need is your phone, a route, and a reason to close the loop. Location access is required while recording an activity. Continued use of GPS in the background can decrease battery life. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://terraloop.app/privacy
