RuckApp vs Rucking Tracker

This is a minimalist rucking app with the sole purpose of helping you track your rucking sessions. It has been simplified to focus on distance rucked and calories burned. The app uses a simplified U.S. Army Pandolf load-carriage equation that uses only body weight, ruck weight, distance, and walking speed to calculate calories burned. The app is private, with all data stored only on your device and never sent anywhere. You can erase your data with a single button in Settings. However, to track your distance, the app requires access to Location Services. For the app to work correctly, you must set location access to Always Allow so it can continue tracking your progress if it goes into the background, such as when you start a session and switch to your music app to select a song.

Loadline is a rucking tracker built around one number: what is on your back. Every other fitness app treats a loaded march as a walk. Loadline uses the Pandolf load-carriage equation, the standard for military load research, so calories reflect your body weight, your pack weight, your speed, the grade and the ground. A 35 lb ruck up a gravel hill is not a stroll, and your numbers should say so. • The load gauge. Your current pack as a share of body weight, always on screen, with the 10–20 % band most people train in marked on the rail. • The load ladder. Where you are and what the next step up weighs, so progression is a decision rather than a guess. • Presets and gear. Build packs from plates, rucksacks and water; pick one and Start. • Live tracking from iPhone or Apple Watch, with auto-pause that waits for you to actually stop, mile or kilometre splits, a Live Activity on the Lock Screen and the Dynamic Island, and spoken splits if you want them. • A route you can move. Every ruck ends with an interactive Apple Maps route, an elevation strip and a summary built for a glance. • Apple Health. Each ruck is saved as a Hiking workout with Loadline's calories and your pack weight in the workout's metadata, so Health and your rings see the load. • Import a GPX file or an existing Health workout and log the weight after the fact. • Weekly recap, standards to project your pace against, a share card with an optional privacy zone, CSV export. Local-first. No account, no analytics, no tracking. Your routes never leave your phone unless you share them. Calories are estimates. Loadline is not medical advice. Start near 10 % of body weight and add load slowly. Loadline Pro is an auto-renewable subscription billed through your Apple Account; the yearly plan starts with a 7-day free trial.
