Export workouts. Plan routes. Everything you need to move from workout data to usable files. Ruttio reads your Apple Health workouts, lets you build planned routes on the map, and exports your data as GPX, TCX, FIT, JSON, or Ruttio route files — all on your device. BROWSE YOUR WORKOUTS Filter Apple Health workouts by activity type and open detailed summaries with route maps and performance stats. EXPORT IN ANY FORMAT Choose GPX, TCX, FIT, or JSON depending on the target app, device, or whether the workout has GPS data. JSON export now includes GPS data. Select multiple workouts and export them together as a ZIP archive, one file per workout. SEE YOUR TRAINING TRENDS A statistics tab shows weekly and monthly overviews of session count, time, and distance. Filter by activity type and read frequency and heart-rate charts with configurable heart-rate zones. PLAN ROUTES ON A MAP Add waypoints and let them snap to nearby roads automatically — no limit on waypoints. Tap the start to close a route into a loop. Name your routes, mark favourites, swipe to delete, import GPX files, save a workout's GPS track as a planned route, and export routes back out as GPX or Ruttio JSON. INTERACTIVE ELEVATION PROFILES View the elevation profile for any activity or planned route with climb analysis. Drag your finger along the chart to scrub through the profile while a marker tracks the exact point on the map in real time. FOLLOW ROUTES, HANDS-FREE Turn-by-turn guidance for multi-point routes shows the next waypoint and remaining distance, plus off-route alerts. A Live Activity puts the current instruction and remaining distance on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, and Lock Screen and Home Screen widgets keep your routes one tap away. ON YOUR WRIST The Apple Watch companion mirrors active route navigation with the current instruction, distance to the next waypoint, total remaining distance, off-route alerts, and pause, resume, or stop controls — with haptic cues. SIX LANGUAGES Available in English, Swedish, German, French, Spanish, and Italian. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Ruttio requests read-only HealthKit access. Workout browsing, export generation, route planning, and temporary export files all happen locally on your device. Planned routes sync only through your own private iCloud database when available. No workout exports are uploaded to Ruttio servers, and the app uses no analytics or tracking. Your workout data never leaves your device.

KudoKit lets you easily merge your Strava workouts right from your phone, without messing around with FIT or GPX files. Combine two or more workouts, up to 10, into one complete activity. Choose which data streams to include from each workout, including heart rate, energy burned, cadence, route, and more, giving you full control over the final result. The merged workout is uploaded back to Strava as a clean, complete activity that looks like it was recorded in one go. **USE CASES** * Accidentally hit Stop instead of Pause on your recording device? Start a new workout and merge the sessions back into one. * Recorded an indoor ride on your bike trainer while using your watch for heart rate? Merge power, cadence, and other trainer data with heart rate from your watch into a single activity. * Switched devices mid-session because your watch ran out of battery? Merge the separate recordings into one continuous workout. **iPad COMPATIBILITY** KudoKit works on iPad as well as iPhone. The interface is not yet optimized for larger displays, but all features are fully functional. **FREE VS PRO** KudoKit is free to download and use, with some limitations. Upgrade to KudoKit Pro to unlock all features, including: * Select data streams from each individual workout * Customize activity sport type before merging * Edit activity start time before merging * Change activity description before merging KudoKit Pro is a simple one-time purchase, with no subscriptions.
