I'm from Vancouver and earlier this month I visited Copenhagen for the first time. I was there for 4 days before heading to Oslo and decided to walk everywhere instead of taking transit (although I took transit during the last day, my legs couldn't handle it anymore...).

My favourite spots were definitely Tivoli Gardens and the Rosenborg Castle!

I tracked almost everything on my Apple Watch and ended up with this map. I wasn't expecting to see so much in a short amount of time. I'm sure I missed a couple of spots, and forgot to unpause my workout after stopping to get food a couple of times...

The city is beautiful and the waterfront reminds me a lot of Vancouver!

So locals - what did I miss? I already want to come back.

Edit: I know I missed a lot of spots, next time I will plan better... I was 3 weeks into an European trip, And for those that DMd me asking how I created this map, I used an app called MoveMap

I've been cycling mostly around my neighbourhood for the last few years and recently decided to map all my Apple Watch rides onto one image to see where I've actually been. I knew that my rides were mostly local, with a few bridge crossings here and there, but didn't expect it to be mostly the same 3-4 loops over and over again. One thing that I found is that most of my rides tend to be during the summer months when the weather is nice. As soon as it starts raining in October, that is it for me (That is the Vancouver weather for you and I'm not a rain or cold weather person at all...)

Edit: Since I had a couple of people DMing me asking what the app is, thought I'd share it here. It is called MoveMap. Full disclosure I developed it but thought it would be the right place to share my map.

TL;DR: MoveMap is an iPhone app that draws every GPS workout from your Apple Health on one map. On-device, no account. Free tier (last 12 months of workouts), $1.99/mo or $14.99 lifetime.

Hey r/SideProject, long-time lurker, just shipped my first iOS app.

MoveMap reads every GPS workout from your Apple Health and draws them all on a single personal map. On-device, no account, $14.99 lifetime.

I built it because my workout data was scattered across 4 different apps over 7 years (Nike Run Club, then Strava, then Garmin Connect, then Apple Fitness) and there was no easy way to see it all together. Strava charges $79.99/year just to show a personal heatmap of your own data. That seemed absurd, so I built the smallest thing that fixes it.

Description:

Your workout history is probably scattered across 3-4 different apps. Nike Run Club, then Strava, then Garmin Connect, then Apple Fitness. Each app only shows the slice it captured. There's no easy way to see every place you've ever run, ridden, or hiked on one map.

MoveMap reads every GPS workout from your Apple Health and draws all of them on a single map. Works with anything that writes to Health: Strava, Garmin Connect, Nike Run Club, Apple Fitness, etc.

Closest tools:

The closest existing tools all read from Strava only:

• Wandrer.earth: Strava-only sync, paid tier for full features
• CityStrides: Strava-only, focused on street completion
• Strava Personal Heatmap: $79.99/year subscribers only, only shows Strava-captured data

If your history isn't all in Strava (because you switched apps over the years like most runners), none of those catch the full picture. MoveMap reads Apple Health, which catches data from every tracking app you've ever used.

Other differentiators:

• $14.99 lifetime option (everything else is subscription-only)
• No account, no servers, no analytics SDKs, no AI, all processing on-device
• Coverage dashboard with countries, states and cities
• Works equally for runners, cyclists, hikers, walkers, not running-specific

Features:

• Lifetime map of every GPS workout (any year from Apple Health)
• Heat mode, personal heatmap (the feature Strava paywalls at $80/year)
• Street coverage, % of streets in your city you've run, biked, or walked
• Coverage stats: countries, cities, total distance, vert, earliest workout
• Year in Review postcard, 1080x1920 image, save to camera roll

Privacy: No accounts, no servers, no analytics SDKs, no AI features. Routes are read locally from Apple Health and never leave your iPhone.

Pricing:

• Free: see the last 12 months of your map (forever, no signup)
• Monthly: $1.99/mo with 7-day trial
• Annual: $9.99/yr (saves ~58% vs Monthly)
• Lifetime: $14.99 one-time, no renewal

All paid plans unlock the same full feature set plus your full lifetime map. The free tier caps you at the last 12 months.

Heads up on pricing: lifetime is currently priced at 1.5x annual, which means every paying customer rationally picks lifetime (which so far has been 100%) and never produces recurring revenue. I'll be moving it closer to the 2x ratio in the next little bit. Not trying to make this a sales pitch, just being transparent because if you've been considering lifetime, the math is more favourable right now than it will be soon.

I've been working at the same office job for the last few years and recently decided to map all my Apple Watch walks downtown (either during lunch or after work). I wasn't expecting it to look this dense. One thing I found is that once the weather gets nicer during the summer months, I tend to walk by the water vs around the downtown core.

Edit: Since some have asked, the app is called MoveMap - full disclosure I developed but thought it would be the right place to share my map.

TL;DR: MoveMap is an iPhone app that draws every GPS workout from your Apple Health on one map. On-device, no account. Free tier (see last 12 months of workouts), $1.99/m or $14.99 lifetime.

A – Answer:

Your workout history is probably scattered across 3-4 different apps. Nike Run Club, then Strava, then Garmin Connect, then Apple Fitness. Each app only shows the slice it captured. There's no easy way to see every place you've ever run, ridden, or hiked on one map.

MoveMap reads every GPS workout from your Apple Health and draws all of them on a single map. Works with anything that writes to Health: Strava, Garmin Connect, Nike Run Club, Apple Fitness, etc. You get the idea.

I built it because I'd been working (mostly running and cycling) for 7 years across multiple apps and had no way to see my routes together. Strava charges $79.99/year just to show a personal heatmap of my own data. So I built the smallest thing that fixes that.

B – Better:

The closest existing tools all read from Strava only:

• Wandrer.earth: Strava-only sync, paid tier for full features
• CityStrides: Strava-only, focused on street completion
• Strava Personal Heatmap: $79.99/year subscribers only, only shows Strava-captured data

If your history isn't all in Strava (because you switched apps over the years like most runners), none of those catch the full picture. MoveMap reads Apple Health, which catches data from every tracking app you've ever used.

Other differentiators:

• $14.99 lifetime option (everything else above is subscription-only)
• No account, no servers, no analytics SDKs, no AI - all processing on-device
• Coverage dashboard with countries, states, cities (reverse-geocoded offline)
• Works equally for runners, cyclists, hikers, walkers - not running-specific

Features:

• Lifetime map of every GPS workout (any year from Apple Health)
• Heat mode - personal heatmap (the feature Strava paywalls at $80/year)
• Street coverage - % of streets in your city you've run, biked, or walked
• Coverage stats - countries, cities, total distance, vert, earliest workout
• Year in Review postcard - 1080x1920 image, save to camera roll

Privacy:

No accounts, no servers, no analytics SDKs, no AI features. Routes are read locally from Apple Health and never leave your iPhone.

C – Cost:

• Free: see the last 12 months of your map (forever, no signup)
• Monthly: $1.99/mo with 7-day trial (less than a coffee)
• Annual: $9.99/yr (saves ~58% vs Monthly)
• Lifetime: $14.99 one-time, no renewal

* All paid plans unlock the same full feature set + your full lifetime map. The free tier caps you at the last 12 months.

* Heads up on pricing: lifetime is currently priced at 1.5x annual, which means every paying customer rationally picks lifetime (which so far has been 100% ) and never produces recurring revenue. I'll be moving it closer to the 2-2.5x ratio in the next couple of weeks. Not trying to make this a sales pitch, just being transparent because if you've been considering lifetime, the math is more favourable right now than it will be soon.

If MoveMap is useful to you, an honest App Store review helps a solo dev a lot. Either way, happy to answer questions about the build, the pricing decision, or anything else in the comments.

Hey everyone, I shipped MoveMap to the App Store earlier his month as a solo dev. The app reads your GPS workouts from Apple Health (whatever Strava, Garmin, Apple Fitness, etc. wrote to it) and shows your whole running/cycling/hiking history on one map. Built it for myself originally because my own history was scattered across 4 different apps over 8 years.

This isn't a launch post or a giveaway. I'd rather use this thread to share real numbers and ask for feedback on the business side, because that's where I have the most to learn from people who've shipped before me.

Actual numbers, about 2 weeks in:

• ~220 downloads
• ~50 free Lifetime codes given out via a r/AppGiveaway post (which generated reviews + structured feedback, and identified some bugs that have been fixed. I'm very glad I did this)
• 4 organic Lifetime sales at $14.99 = $59.96 actual revenue
• 3 users currently on a 7-day trial for the monthly subscription
• 4.7 stars
• Currently shipping one SEO blog post per day on the website

The pricing lesson I learned

Original pricing: $1.99/mo, $9.99/yr, $14.99 lifetime. With Lifetime priced at 1.5x Annual, every paying customer rationally picks Lifetime and never produces recurring revenue. Standard indie seems to be closer to 2.5-3x. I'm debating raising this at some point but would love to hear your thoughts.

The interesting signal: those 4 organic Lifetime buyers may have seen the giveaway thread, and paid $14.99 anyway. They must have seen the value if it lead to some purchases.

What I'd do differently if I started over:

1. Rather than giving so many free lifetime codes (which offer 0 long term revenue) provide with a longer free trial. If the user really likes the app, he may convert at some point
2. Price Lifetime at the right ratio from day one
3. Start SEO work 60 days before the app ships

Asks:

• For solo indie devs: what's the single highest-ROI thing you wish you'd done in the first 30 days?
• ASO feedback welcome: title MoveMap: Lifetime GPS Heatmap, subtitle Every Workout, Routes & Recap, ranking #3-5 for "lifetime map" but missing some clearly valuable terms like "history"
• For anyone who's run sub-$2/mo apps to real revenue: what mix of subscription vs lifetime tiers worked for you?
