Rucker, the rucking app

Rucking doesn’t stop when your screen locks, and neither should your route recording.

Rucker is built for rucking, weighted walking, ruck marches, and hikes with a backpack, rucksack, weighted vest, or plate carrier. Start a session, lock your iPhone, and move. Background GPS tracking records your route, distance, pace, and elevation while your screen is locked or Rucker is not visible. Tracking stops when you end the ruck.

Every mile feels different with weight on your back. Add your pack weight to see load-aware effort, your Rucker Score, and optional calorie estimates based on what you actually carry.

KEEP YOUR RUCK VISIBLE

• Use a Live Activity to see distance, elapsed time, speed, and pace from the Lock Screen.
• On supported iPhone models, follow key metrics in Dynamic Island.
• Tap the Live Activity to return to your active session.

REVIEW EVERY RUCK IN 3D

• Open any completed session on an interactive 3D map. Tilt, rotate, and zoom to see how terrain and elevation shaped your pace.
• Analyze speed-colored and altitude-colored paths to reveal fast sections, slow climbs, high points, and low points.
• Inspect distance splits, your elevation profile, and markers for the fastest, slowest, highest, and lowest parts of the route.
• Replay the entire route with a moving marker. Pause, scrub the timeline, change playback speed, follow the camera, or hide the controls for a clean recording.

SAVE WAYPOINTS AND FIELD NOTES

• Create saved points without ending your session: water, camp, views, hazards, junctions, checkpoints, or personal memories.
• Add a title, field notes, trail-condition tags, photos, and videos.
• Save your current GPS position or adjust the waypoint precisely on the map.
• Revisit saved points during session review and watch them appear at the right moment during route replay.
• Reuse points from previous rucks or import GPX and KML waypoints as route context.

TRAIN WITHOUT STARING AT YOUR PHONE

• Use the Cadence Coach’s audible cues to settle into a steady rhythm.
• Choose manual cadence, minimum-speed, average-speed, or distance-and-time coaching.
• Get configurable distance, time, and hydration reminders during your ruck.
• Change alerts from your current point without stopping or restarting the session.

BUILT FOR THE WEIGHT YOU CARRY

• Track distance, time, pace, GPS route, elevation, steps, and pack weight.
• Save different pack and weighted-vest load setups for your next ruck.
• See how body weight, carried load, speed, grade, and terrain shape your effort and optional active-calorie estimates.
• Go beyond pace with the Rucker Score: Power, Work Capacity, and Resilience.
• Optionally use body-weight and heart-rate data from Apple Health for session context and post-ruck review.

FOLLOW AND SHARE YOUR ROUTES

• Follow a previous ruck or import GPX and KML routes for guidance.
• Use Team Rucks to share an active session with other Rucker users on the same map.
• Create an expiring web link to a complete session review that opens in any browser, no Rucker account required for the viewer.
• Protect sensitive locations by hiding the beginning and end of your shared route.
• Create route or photo cards with your distance, time, pace, pack weight, and location.

SEE YOUR PROGRESS ADD UP

• Explore a heatmap of the areas you have covered.
• Review weekly, monthly, all-time, or custom-range stats for distance, time, calories, load, and Rucker Score.
• Review heart-rate traces and zones, including comparisons with speed or altitude.
• Earn milestones tied to distance, speed, and carried weight.
• Ruck with your dog and track your companion’s mileage and completed sessions.

No social feed. No clutter. Just your route, your training, and the work you put in.
