Private activity tracking

Track the miles. Keep the map.

Trailhead records runs, rides, walks, hikes, swims, and workouts without building a server-side history of where you go.

Free workout tracking. No subscription needed for your own data.

01 / Why it matters

Your routine tells a story. It should be yours to keep.

A route that starts at the same address every weekday can reveal where someone lives and when they are usually away.

A fitness app does not need to keep that history on its servers to help the person train. Trailhead keeps the durable record in an encrypted vault on your phone.

02 / Free workout tracking

Everything you need to track your own progress. Free.

Your recordings, local history, summaries, editing tools, and activity data stay yours without a Trailhead subscription.

  • Record runs, rides, walks, hikes, swims, and workouts with GPS
  • Review distance, pace, speed, elevation, and weekly totals
  • Edit your own activities
  • Delete them whenever you choose
  • Import or export your activity data anytime

Your durable history stays encrypted on your phone.

03 / Privacy by architecture

We couldn't sell your workout data—even if we wanted to.

Your activities, routes, and profile are encrypted with keys Trailhead doesn't possess. We can't read them, profile you with them, or sell them.

  1. 01

    Encrypted on your phone.

    Your activity vault and its key remain under your phone’s protection.

  2. 02

    Encrypted before sharing.

    Trailhead seals only the activity you approve for the recipient you choose.

  3. 03

    Delivered, not collected.

    The relay moves opaque records, then removes them after receipt, cancellation, or expiry.

Think sealed-package courier. The relay sees limited delivery information—such as timing, ciphertext size, expiry, and opaque identifiers—but it cannot open your routes or activity details.

04 / Trailhead Premium
