Every walk and ride becomes an Art Map. WalkRide is a GPS tracker for walking and cycling that turns the route you take into a picture you can keep. Begin a session, move through your neighborhood, and the line you leave behind becomes a PNG you can save or share. Distance, time, pace or speed, and calories update while you move, and the map draws the route as you go. No account is needed to begin. Begin a session Pick walk or ride on the home screen and tap start. Distance, elapsed time, pace or speed, and calories change with every meter. If you are not sure how far to go, WalkRide suggests a loop of up to 50 km based on your recent sessions. Watch the line appear The map draws your route in real time. When you stop, that same line becomes your Art Map, with distance, duration, and calories printed on it. Share it as a PNG that carries no location data. Goals, streaks, and records The daily goal can be 2, 3, 5, or 8 km, or a number you choose. The Stats tab compares the last seven days against it, shows a calendar heatmap for the current month, and keeps records: total distance, sessions, current streak, and average pace. Every kilometer earns 30 XP, and 20 badges mark streaks, distance milestones, early starts, and shared maps. Reminders and the home screen Set a daily goal nudge and a streak reminder, and choose the time they arrive. The widget and Live Activity keep distance and pace on your home screen and Lock Screen while you walk. Long-press the app icon to start a walk or ride without opening the app. Premium, if you want it Free history covers the last 30 days. WalkRide Premium opens the full archive and adds CSV export, GPX export for other fitness apps, and every future feature. Weekly, annual, and lifetime plans are available, and you can cancel anytime. Your data stays here Routes, sessions, weight, and settings are stored in a database on your phone. There is no account, no cloud sync, and no analytics. WalkRide runs in dark mode only.

About

Cyclory

Cyclory is the private, offline-first cycling tracker and bike maintenance log that keeps your rides and your bikes in one place. Whether you ride road, mountain, gravel or just commute to work, Cyclory records every kilometre with GPS and reminds you exactly when each component needs servicing โ€” so you ride more and worry less. No account. No subscription. No social feed. Your rides never leave your iPhone. TRACK EVERY RIDE WITH GPS Tap once and go. Cyclory follows your route on a live map and measures the metrics that matter: - Live route map on real streets, with distance, moving time and elevation gain. - Current speed, average speed and per-kilometre or per-mile splits. - Calorie estimate based on effort and climbing. - Spoken voice cues so you can keep your eyes on the road. - Keep-screen-awake mode and a clean, glanceable live screen. - No signal? Log any ride by hand in seconds. A GARAGE FOR ALL YOUR BIKES Most cyclists own more than one bike. Cyclory gives each one its own profile: - Add your road bike, mountain bike, gravel bike, hybrid, e-bike or commuter. - A photo and a self-updating odometer (starting mileage plus every logged ride). - See total distance and ride count per bike at a glance. SMART MAINTENANCE BY DISTANCE OR TIME This is what makes Cyclory different. Schedule service for each component and get reminded before things wear out: - Chain wear, chain lube, tires, brake pads, drivetrain clean, full service and your own custom items. - Set an interval by distance (every 250 km) OR by time (every 6 months) โ€” whichever comes first. - Clear "due in" and "overdue" chips so nothing slips through. - Log completed work with cost, parts used and notes, and keep a full service history per bike. - Understand your real cost of ownership over time. STATS THAT KEEP YOU MOTIVATED - Weekly distance, speed trend and this-week-versus-last-week comparisons. - A 17-week consistency heatmap, plus weekday and time-of-day patterns. - Personal bests, longest ride, day streak and total elevation climbed. - Distance by ride type and distance by bike. - Around 38 achievements across distance, rides, climbing and streaks. PRIVATE AND OFFLINE BY DESIGN Cyclory works completely offline and stores everything locally. There is no sign-up and no cloud. Export a full JSON backup or a CSV of your rides whenever you want, export any route as GPX, and import it all back on a new device. You stay in control of your data. PERFECT FOR - Road cyclists tracking training distance and average speed. - Mountain bikers logging trail rides and elevation gain. - Bike commuters who want a simple cycling log without a subscription. - Gravel and e-bike riders managing more than one bike. - Anyone who wants a private bike ride tracker and a reliable bike maintenance tracker in a single app. LANGUAGES Available in English, Spanish, French, Italian, German and Portuguese. Cyclory is a general fitness and maintenance tool, not medical or mechanical advice. Always follow your bike manufacturer's service guidelines. All data is stored on your device. Map data ยฉ OpenStreetMap contributors. Clip in, hit start and let Cyclory take care of the numbers โ€” on the road and in the workshop.
