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.

Whether you use a weighted vest, ruck pack, or other weighted wearables, Weightpace helps you measure your performance and track your progress over time. Enter the weight you carry, start moving, and see your distance, time, pace, steps, elevation gain, weight moved, and Weightpace in one place. WHAT IS WEIGHTPACE? Speed describes how fast you move. Pace describes how long each mile or kilometer takes. Weightpace accounts for the external load you carry. Load × Distance ÷ Time = Weightpace The result is shown as WP. TRACK YOUR ACTIVITIES Set your load and track distance, time, pace, steps, and elevation gain while WP is calculated in real time. See your weight moved, calculated as load multiplied by distance. BUILD YOUR BENCHMARK Use your first activity with added weight as a starting point, then follow changes in your performance over time. FOLLOW YOUR PROGRESS Review saved activities, personal records, weekly performance, and your WP and pace records by weight. COMPLETE TRAINING PROGRAMS Choose a distance-based training program, complete each day, and track your program history. SHARE YOUR RESULTS Create share cards for activities, personal records, benchmarks, and completed programs. Choose a photo or take one directly in the app, then combine it with your stats to create a personalized performance card. USE YOUR PREFERRED UNITS Enter load in pounds or kilograms and view distance in miles or kilometers. Weightpace converts units before calculating WP. The same WP does not mean the same effort. Distance, duration, hills, and terrain affect an activity’s demands. Choose a load and activity appropriate for your experience and ability.
