The full tour — from pressing Start to holding a printed book of your trip. Every feature below ships in the app today.
MyTripKeeper records the route while you live the outing — phone in your pocket, screen off. It minds the battery, survives crashes, and pauses itself when you stop for the view.
Walk, run, hike, bike, drive, kayak, ski, snowshoe, skate, swim, horseback, motorcycle, boat. Or invent your own: name it, pick an icon and a colour, and it behaves like the type it’s based on.
Your route draws as you move — distance, time, pace or speed, and live altitude. Standard, hybrid or satellite map, app-wide.
Stop for a snack and the recording pauses itself; walk away and it resumes on its own. A pause you pressed yourself is never overridden.
High / Balanced / Saver GPS modes, tuned per activity, and Low Power Mode is respected automatically. A day of tracking shouldn’t cost you an evening of phone.
The session checkpoints every 30 seconds. If the phone dies mid-hike or the app is force-quit, the next launch offers to recover the recording — nothing lost.
One tap in the morning starts a low-power, all-day trace of a travel day — where you wandered, no workout pretensions. It can live inside a trip as one of its days.
A “still paused?” nudge so you never drive home with a paused hike, and an optional morning “Start My Day?” for the dates you’re away.
The phone does the recording; everything else is a remote control. Start a hike from your watch, glance at the lock screen, tap Stop from the car.
Start, pause and stop with a tap and a haptic. Live distance, time and altitude on the wrist — in your units — and you can pick which activity Start records.
Tap the mic on the watch, talk, done. The note travels to the phone and lands in the right place — your recording, your trip, or your inbox for later.
A live card on the lock screen and in the Dynamic Island: distance, running clock, altitude — with real Pause, Resume and Stop buttons.
A this-week summary widget, and an interactive Tracking Controls widget with Start/Pause/Stop that works right from the home screen.
Pin the controls widget to the CarPlay dashboard. Starting from the car records a Drive automatically — or pin any activity you choose.
“Add a trail note in MyTripKeeper” drops a note where you said it, without breaking stride. Start, pause, resume and stop by voice; Shortcuts can start any specific activity.
Every photo, clip, voice note and scribble is pinned to the exact spot on your route where it happened. That’s the whole point.
The in-app camera shows your activity and live stats in the viewfinder, fires multi-shot without closing, has lens-aware zoom pills, tap-to-focus, flash — and geotags every shot to your live position.
Record a thought; it’s transcribed on your device and pinned where you stood. Transcripts are searchable and editable.
One-tap labeled markers — Viewpoint, Water stop, you name it. Finish a drive and a parking pin drops itself, so you can always find the car.
Keep the funny exchange as chat bubbles on your route. Type it in the app, or share text straight in from Messages or any other app.
Every note field has a mic: live speech-to-text where words land as you speak, with a level meter so you know it’s hearing you.
Photos you took with the regular camera land at their true place and time — the app reads the photo’s own location data, so shared pictures fit the story too.
Trips gather everything — activities, days, moments between activities, and every stop along the way — into one map and one story.
Group activities into a trip — automatically while it’s active, or after the fact. One combined map, one timeline, one set of totals.
The dinner between hikes, the view from the hotel — capture photos, voice notes, written notes and messages between activities, pinned where you are.
Meal, museum, show, movie, landmark, excursion, gas, charging, lodging, sporting event — with place search, cost, fuel or kWh, a 1–5 rating, who was there, photos, and a scanned receipt or ticket.
A My Day can live inside a trip — the trip’s totals and journal include it, and it can move out again whole, nothing lost.
Already took pictures outside the app? It scans your library for the trip’s dates and imports your picks as moments — no duplicates.
One chronological, day-grouped scroll of every photo, video, note and quote across the whole trip.
One tap turns a trip into a print-ready book — and an AI recap writes the first draft of the story, privately, on your phone.
Full-bleed cover, per-day openers, photo spreads, meal pages, moment galleries — in Editorial, Modern or Field designs, portrait or landscape. Print-ready.
A written recap drafted from your routes, notes, moods, meals and voice-note transcripts — generated on your device by default (free, offline, private). Prefer Claude, ChatGPT or your own Ollama? Plug in a key. Always editable.
Choose the recap’s tone (factual → lyrical) and length, add guidance, and curate the book: exclude any item, or let “Pick Best Cover Photo” choose the cover for you.
Save the print-ready PDF and order a bound copy from a print-on-demand service — the app walks you through it. A vacation you can put on a shelf.
Not a training platform — but everything worth knowing about an outing is in there, with a few surprises.
Elevation profile with gain and loss, per-kilometre splits, moving time, detected stops, max speed, steps and floors — all from the recording itself.
The conditions during your outing, sunrise and sunset, golden hour — and yes, the moon phase, computed offline.
What was playing on Apple Music while you rode. Tap a song later to play it again and go right back.
“That climb was 1.3 Eiffel Towers.” Landmark and animal comparisons, calories, and CO₂ saved versus driving.
Personal bests per activity, a lifetime odometer, 15 badges, streaks, a monthly distance goal ring, and an “On this day” look back.
Names, notes, tags, people, places, voice-note transcripts — even the text inside your photos, read on-device.
Live Text and Visual Look Up in the photo viewer, automatic scene tags, and an eye for your best shot — all on your device, never in a cloud.
Tag who was there, share the trip as a live group album, or let the folks at home follow along while you’re still out there.
Tag who was on the hike, from Contacts or by name — dogs get a paw avatar. A “Together” ranking shows who you’ve covered the most kilometres with.
Invite family into a trip — a live group album through iCloud. Everyone’s photos and moments merge into the story; their data never touches your personal stats.
Share view-only and the folks at home watch the trip fill in as it happens — without being able to change anything.
On a shared trip, when one of you starts recording, everyone else sees it — one phone records the route while the rest add photos and moments to the same story.
See who’s on the trip and their access, invite more, remove someone, choose view-only vs can-edit, pause updates, or stop sharing entirely — the owner decides.
No account, no servers, no analytics — and every door out is wide open: backups, exports, standard formats.
No account to create, no server of ours, no ads, no analytics. The developer cannot see your data — there is nowhere for it to go.
Your devices stay in step through your own private iCloud. It heals itself after bad network days, shows you a plain-language health line, and has a Repair button for the truly stubborn day.
One tap zips everything into a backup file you keep wherever you like; restore it on any iPhone. Export a single trip as a file and hand it to someone — it imports cleanly, even offline.
If you want, every capture is also saved to your Photos library and grouped into an album per trip. Off by default — your call.
Recorded with the Watch’s Workout app instead? Import it from Health — route, heart rate and calories included, duplicates detected.
English, français (québécois!) and español, following your iPhone’s language — everywhere, including the journal PDF and Siri. Kilometres or miles, °C or °F.
VoiceOver labels throughout, spoken stats and badges, Reduce Motion honored.
