Every step moves the pin.
Trekka maps your everyday steps onto real routes like majors, ultras, legendary climbs, and long-shot challenges, so progress is a place on the map, not a stat.
Syncs with Apple Health
• Free routes available
• Premium routes optional
How it works
Pick a real route
Choose a course built from mapped paths: marathons, trails, climbs, and big challenges.
Sync your steps
Trekka uses Apple Health step totals to move you forward. No GPS tracking required.
Watch the map update
Your marker advances along the actual route line, so progress feels like a place you're reaching.
Track your shoe mileage
Mark a pair as active and Trekka counts the steps, distance, and elevation on them, so you know when it’s time to retire them.
Review your stats
See steps, distance, elevation, and route milestones in one place, plus detailed summaries for completed routes.

FAQ
Do I need to record workouts or use GPS?
No. Trekka advances your route using step, distance, and elevation totals from Apple Health.
What kinds of routes are included?
Real-world routes like road majors, trail routes, climbs, and some less than real-world long challenge distances. Some are free; more are available via optional purchases.
What’s free vs premium?
You can try Trekka with free routes. Premium routes, features, and map packs are optional when you want a deeper catalog and added functionality.
Does Trekka work with my Apple Watch or other apps?
If your steps and distance end up in Apple Health from your iPhone, Apple Watch, or supported third-party apps,Trekka can use those totals. You choose what Health is allowed to share with Trekka in your iOS Settings.
How are steps turned into distance on a route?
Trekka reads step, distance, and elevation totals from Apple Health and maps your cumulative progress onto the real route line, so your marker advances along the course as your totals grow.
What if my Health data looks wrong?
Check the Health app for sources and priority (which devices or apps “win” when counts conflict), and whether duplicate entries or manual data look off. Trekka reflects the totals Health provides after permissions are granted.
Can I run multiple routes at the same time?
Having multiple routes active at once is a feature of the Trailhead Pass. Check the in-app offerings and App Store product pages for current pricing and terms.
Can I request a route?
Yes. Use Contact or email contacttrekka@gmail.com if you want a specific course or have feedback on the route library.
Is Trekka on Android?
Not today. Trekka is built for iOS. We don’t have plans for other platforms at this time.
Do I need an account?
No. You don’t sign up or log in to use Trekka’s main features. If we ever add optional accounts, we’ll say so clearly in the app and in our policies.
How does shoe mileage work?
Track mileage against pairs in your shoe closet so wear stays visible alongside your routes. It's helpful when you’re stacking real-world miles on the same shoes you use day to day.
Are premium routes a subscription or one-time purchases?
All current purchasable content is a one-time purchase. We may offer more bundles for a one-time purchase in the future.
What data does Trekka use?
Trekka uses as little as we can. That includes Apple Health data you allow, details you enter in the app (for example shoes, routes, and preferences), and anything you send us for support. See the full Privacy Policy for details.
