Track Every Journey
From a short walk to a full-day expedition, HikeFolio keeps the live activity and the story of the journey connected.
Follow your route on an interactive map with distance, elapsed time, elevation gain, and heading. When you finish, HikeFolio preserves the activity summary and its Adventure link—not a permanent route map.
Tracking stays in your hands.
Background location and eligible Live Activities run only during a visible, user-started route session and stop when you end it.
Offline Field Mode
No Signal.No Problem.
Use compass heading, GPS quality, locally saved waypoints, and field data during a user-started Offline Field Session.
- Live compass heading
- GPS quality and coordinates
- Locally saved waypoints
- Distance, elevation, and elapsed time
- Bearing and distance to a waypoint or start point
- Live Activity support when available
Offline Field Mode does not download maps or provide turn-by-turn navigation. Guidance is straight-line bearing and distance to a saved waypoint or your start point.
