PawTrail recording a walk: the route on a map with time, distance, pace and weather

What PawTrail does

Built for the daily walk, not the gym.

Everything a dog person needs, nothing a fitness app thinks you need.

A log of every walk

Route, distance, duration, pace and elevation for each walk. The routes you walk often get their own stats, by themselves.

Walk at the best time

PawTrail learns when you usually go out and finds the best window in today’s forecast. It gives you a heads-up when rain, heat or wind is coming.

Your steps, too

Connect Apple Health to see your daily steps, your step goal and how much of your day you spent walking with your dog.

Your dog’s tag

Distance, walking time, streaks, personal bests and the streets you walk most. Set daily and weekly goals for each dog.

Share your dog with the family

Share a dog through iCloud, like a note. Everyone in the household sees every walk, and each walk shows who took it.

On your wrist and Home Screen

Start walks from Apple Watch, follow them with Live Activities, and add widgets for your week, your pack and the walking weather.

Know the best time to go before you grab the leash.

Weather outlook

Know the best time to go before you grab the leash.

PawTrail checks the forecast against your usual walk times and tells you when it’s comfortable for both of you. Hot pavement, heavy rain or strong wind? You’ll hear about it first.

  • Best window in today’s forecast
  • Next 24 hours and 5-day outlook
  • Heads-up when your usual time turns bad
Your dog gets you moving. See how much.

Our story

Hi, I’m Fynn. This is Sykes.

PawTrail started as a weekend project for Sykes, my Siberian Husky. I wanted to remember our routes, make sure he got enough exercise, and have an excuse to explore new paths together.

Many muddy paws later, it’s the app I open every single day. Sykes still tests every feature first, usually by pulling me towards the next forest.

I hope PawTrail makes your walks a little better too. If it does, or if it doesn’t, I’d love to hear from you.

Questions

Good to know

Is PawTrail free?

Yes. Download it for free, record walks, see today’s progress and your steps, and use widgets and Apple Watch at no cost. PawTrail Pro adds the full walk history, your dog’s tag, the weather outlook, walk planning and family sharing as a one-time purchase.

Do I need an account?

No. PawTrail works without an account. Your walks sync across your own devices through iCloud, and sharing a dog with your family uses iCloud too.

Does it work on Apple Watch?

Yes. Start, pause and finish walks from your wrist, see your heart rate and save every walk to Apple Health. There are complications for your watch face as well.

Does it work without an internet connection?

Yes. Walks are recorded on your device, so a lost signal in the woods doesn’t lose your walk. Weather and map tiles need a connection.

Is there an Android version?

Not yet. PawTrail is built for iPhone and Apple Watch. If you would like an Android version, tell us at contact@pawtrail.app so we can gauge demand.

What happens with my location data?

Your location is only recorded while you track a walk, and it is never shared with third parties for advertising. The privacy policy has the details.
