## Description

Built for Elevation
Upwards is a workout tracker for activities with significant elevation gain — hiking, trail running, or stair climbing. It focuses on what other apps get wrong: accurate, repeatable elevation data and meaningful pacing information for going uphill.

Accurate Elevation Tracking
Upwards fuses GPS and barometer data to deliver accurate, repeatable elevation values. Real-time cumulative gain is front and center.

Elevation Pacing
See your recent elevation pace alongside your heart rate so you know exactly how hard you’re working. Configurable voice announcements keep you updated on elapsed time, elevation gain, and pace without having to look at your phone.

Pacer Workouts
Race against yourself. Pick a previous workout as a reference track and see in real time whether you’re ahead or behind your past pace — down to the second.

Heart Rate & HealthKit
Live heart rate is displayed throughout your workout. All workouts sync to Apple Health so your data is available alongside your other fitness activity.

Workout History
Browse your completed workouts with elevation profiles and summary stats for every session. Search by name, sort by date or duration, and add a note to any workout — trail conditions, gear, who you were with.
