Pado

Pado is a geo-tracking powerhouse for iPhone and Apple Watch. Record routes for hikes, bike tours, and sports—manually or fully automatic in the background. See your tracks on a map, with heart-rate data from HealthKit and photos tied to map pins to retrace every moment.

Beyond tracking, Pado offers time tracking, a pedometer, and location-based actions that run automatically in the background. Data can be exported/imported as GPX or KML for use with other apps, and WebHooks can connect Pado to your home automation. Sync your data via iCloud, Dropbox, or WebDAV, and use hardware features like Bluetooth Beacons, NFC tags, and AirTags as action triggers. The app supports Apple Watch for on-the-go control and can operate in WLAN-positioned modes where GPS is unavailable. Pado now features a flexible payment model (Free, Standard, Pro) with easy upgrades and a tipping option to support the developer.

Note: Long-term background GPS use can impact battery life.
