GPS
Read full descriptionHide full description
GPS-location-app records walking, running, cycling and riding workouts with detailed route tracking on iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch. It keeps recording where satellite positioning does not. In tunnels, underground car parks, streets between tall buildings and other places a GPS fix is lost or turns unreliable, Velocity Mode carries the route forward from the motion sensors โ speed from how the vehicle vibrates, direction from the gyroscope and magnetometer โ and rejoins real GPS automatically the moment a usable signal returns. It starts from the last speed actually measured, so the track stays joined up rather than restarting from zero. Velocity Mode is documented rather than asserted. Settings contains the full method, the equations behind it, and the measured error across 23 instrumented journeys โ including the cases where it does not work. A complete paper is readable inside the app. FEATURES โข Live route tracking during workouts, on iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch โข Velocity Mode: keeps recording through tunnels, car parks and weak signal โข Automatic handover โ no need to switch anything on mid-workout โข Workout map with historical route browsing and road alignment โข Distance analysis by week, month, year and all time โข Daily and cumulative charts for long-term progress โข Heart rate, calories, pace, elevation and split tracking โข Apple Health integration for workouts and distance โข Optional diagnostics logs โ the raw sensor data behind every accuracy figure HONEST ABOUT ITS LIMITS Velocity Mode is an estimate, not a substitute for GPS. It is accurate to within a few per cent on open roads and much less so at walking pace, in a hand, or on a motorcycle with the phone in a pocket โ a case where it does not work at all. Aircraft speed cannot be recovered without GPS. All of this is measured, written down, and shown in the app rather than hidden. Built for people who want more detail than a basic workout tracker, while keeping recording simple and fast.
Morlah

Most people who journal do it to understand themselves better. And most quit, not because they lack motivation, but because the blank page gives nothing back. Morlah is different. It learns about you before you write a single word. HOW IT WORKS 1. Swipe. You start with a deck of quote cards: right if it resonates, left if it doesn't. What you reject says as much as what you choose. 2. See yourself. Morlah reads your full set of choices together and reflects back a personal insight. Not a personality test. Not a diagnosis. A pattern, noticed. You'll see the recurring themes in what drew you in, the tension underneath each one, and the two quotes that mirror where your attention is right now. 3. Answer one question a day. For the next 7 days, you receive questions written specifically for you, based on your insight. Each new question unlocks only after you've answered the last one โ reflection builds one day at a time, not all at once. Answer in a sentence or a page, your choice. This is journaling with a starting point that actually fits. 4. The cycle continues. Once you've answered all 7 questions, you swipe a fresh deck. Your profile updates as you change. New insight, new questions. Morlah gets sharper the longer you use it, because you're not the same person you were last month. KEEP THE THREAD GOING Build a streak by answering daily. Miss a day? A streak freeze protects your progress, because one bad day shouldn't erase a good habit. WHO IT'S FOR Anyone who wants to understand themselves better but never got past the first month of a journal. If a blank page has ever defeated you, Morlah was built for you. Morlah is not a substitute for professional mental health support.
