Beeline Commute vs Pathnote

Beeline watches the traffic on the roads you actually drive, for a window around the time you actually leave, and tells you when the road turns. Not a map you have to open and stare at. A message that arrives while you are still making coffee. HOW IT WORKS Set up the drive you take — the roads, the stop you make on the way, the time you usually go. Beeline opens a watch window around that departure and prices your actual route every few minutes while it is open. When the drive gets meaningfully worse, it says so, and it says by how much, against what that road usually does at that hour. A Lock Screen card holds the current number while the window is open, so you can look without unlocking anything. WHAT IT WILL NOT DO It will not navigate, and it will not reroute you around a corner you already know. It will not tell you the road is fine: silence means nothing has changed, and a warning is the only thing worth interrupting you for. It does not guess at typical traffic from a model. It buys a real reading of your real road. FREE AND PAID Everything is on for the first two weeks. After that, alerts, the Lock Screen card, every route you have saved and every map link keep working exactly as they did — what shrinks is how long Beeline keeps watching, from two hours a day to thirty minutes. Nothing you set up is rewritten or taken away. Long Watch opens it back to two hours, which is enough to catch a jam that starts an hour before you were thinking about leaving. Why it costs anything: a watch is not a timer. Every few minutes an open window buys a fresh reading of the traffic on your road, from a service that charges for each one. Half an hour of that a day is something that can be given away. Two hours is not. SUBSCRIPTION Long Watch is an auto-renewing subscription at $9.99 per month. It renews unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends, and you can manage or cancel it in Settings > Apple Account > Subscriptions.

The walk you took, drawn on a map. Pathnote records your route only between the moment you tap Start and the moment you tap Stop. It never looks at your location in between. Keep what you want to keep, without being watched the rest of the time. Records only while you say so One button starts the recording and opens the map. It keeps going with the screen off or while you use another app. Pause, and the distance you cover meanwhile is not counted. See how you travelled Walking, cycling and vehicles are told apart automatically and drawn in different colours. Two kilometres on foot, the rest by train, at a glance. Pins where you stayed a while Time spent standing still is worked out and pinned on the map. Nothing to tap, the places you stopped at are simply there afterwards. Your regular places, mapped Every recording is pooled to show the places you go often, sized by how long you spend there. Your everyday map, drawn by itself. Photos stay where you took them Photos taken during a recording are pinned at the spot they were taken. You can also keep a photo without recording a route, and browse every photo on a map. Control it from Apple Watch Start, pause and stop from your wrist with the iPhone still in your pocket. Distance and elapsed time show on the Watch too. Start from the Lock Screen Begin a recording without opening the app, from a Lock Screen control, Control Center, or the Action button. While recording, elapsed time and distance appear on the Lock Screen. Your data stays on your device Recordings and photos live only on your iPhone. Nothing is uploaded. No analytics, no advertising. Pathnote Pro (one-time purchase) - Unlimited photos per recording (a few per recording when free) - Back up and restore everything - Export as GPX or JSON to hand to other apps There is no limit on how many recordings you keep. Recording itself is never restricted. Step counts need permission for Motion & Fitness. The same permission improves how accurately travel modes are identified. Location is requested as "Always" so a recording survives the screen turning off. Your location is never read while you are not recording.
