We built an iOS tracker with a dedicated bikejoring mode
Hi everyone!
We’re two friends behind pawtrck, an iOS wellness app built around the dog rather than the human athlete.
One of its three dedicated exercise modes is Bikejoring.
When you start a session, pawtrck uses the owner’s iPhone to record the GPS route, distance, duration and weather, alongside dog-specific estimates such as pawsteps and exercise calories.
Afterward, the session is saved under that dog’s profile and can be turned into a customizable activity card using your own photo, colours and layout.
Because pawtrck is centred on the dog, the activity doesn’t exist in isolation. The same profile also brings together:
• Medications, vaccinations, symptoms and vet records
• Meals, treats, calorie intake and weight trends
• Training instructions and completed commands
To be transparent, pawtrck currently tracks the shared activity through the owner’s phone. It isn’t a collar-mounted GPS device, and pawsteps and calories are estimates rather than direct measurements from a dog wearable.
Apple Watch and Garmin integration are among the features we are currently working on. Our goal is to let people record an activity once on the device they already use and then bring it into their dog’s pawtrck profile.
We’d really value feedback from people who actually bikejor: what information would you want to see after a session?
Average and maximum speed, elevation, splits, temperature, rest stops, equipment notes, or something else entirely?
The core experience is free, with optional pawtrck Plus features.
It’s currently available on iOS:
