Collect badges on every run and walk. Loop a landmark like Big Ben and its badge is yours; close a loop anywhere and the ground inside is yours, until a clubmate takes it back. Treadline records your runs and walks — distance, pace, elevation gain and the route you took — puts everyone you know on the same board, and adds the year up into something you can actually look back on. Start it yourself, or let it start itself. Automatic tracking picks up sustained runs and everyday walks with your phone in your pocket, pauses at short stops, and ends the session when you are done. COLLECT LANDMARKS • 1,700+ famous Icons to claim, from Big Ben to the Golden Gate Bridge • 5,900+ City landmarks, each with its own artwork • Local spots near you: loop parks, lakes and more • Build your skyline of claimed landmarks and share it • See who else claimed each landmark on its claim board TRACK EVERY RUN AND WALK • Distance, pace, moving time and elevation gain • Splits cut per mile or kilometer, and a pace line for the whole activity • Your route on the map, and a flyover replay of it afterwards • Spoken updates while you go, so you do not have to look • Automatic start and auto-pause, or tap Start yourself YOUR YEAR, ADDING UP • Active days, total distance, total climb, moving time • Personal records called out the moment you beat one • A recap after every activity: route, effort, and what is next • Add a photo to a run you have just finished MOVE WITH FRIENDS • See friends on the map while you are both out • Follow a friend's run live • Leaderboards by distance, gain, activities, active time or best pace • Clubs — start one with your friends, compete for ground on your club's map, and put a group run on the calendar • Share any activity as a post, a story, or a transparent overlay for your own photo APPLE HEALTH • Runs, walks and routes saved to Health • Heart rate, active energy and cadence read back onto every activity • Steps, exercise minutes, cardio fitness and resting heart rate beside your own stats PRIVATE WHEN YOU WANT IT • Hide your live location from friends — sessions still save privately • Hide your activity from everyone, at any time • Block or report anyone • Analytics can be switched off in settings FREE, AND PRO Recording, distance, pace, elevation gain, friends, leaderboards, this year's routes and stats, and heart rate and energy on every activity are free.
