Everything for the trail
Built for where
the signal ends.
Agad keeps recording with your phone in your pocket, guides you along a route, and works on the mountain without internet.
Follow GPX routes
Import any GPX — Suunto, Garmin, Strava routes — and see distance and climb left, an arrival estimate, and alerts when you stray.
Offline maps
Save the area around a trail before you go. Outdoors maps with contour lines and footpaths, ready in airplane mode.
Honest elevation
Climb is smoothed to filter out GPS jitter, so a flat walk doesn't claim a mountain. Full elevation profile for every trail.
Stats on the lock screen
A Live Activity on iPhone and a live notification on Android, with Pause and Finish — glance without unlocking.
Share your hike
Turn a trail into a post or story image — your route on the map or your own photo, with distance, climb and time.
Follow a trail

Know the way back.

Questions
Good to know
Does Agad work without signal?
Yes. Recording, following a trail and the elevation profile all work offline. Save a map area before you go and the map works offline too; without one you still see your track and the trail line.
Will it keep recording with the screen off?
Yes, on both iPhone and Android. Android phones with aggressive battery savers (Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo, some Samsung) may need Agad set to “Unrestricted” battery use — the app asks before your first recording.
Which files can I import?
Any GPX file: tracks, routes (Suunto exports routes) or waypoints. You can export your own hikes as GPX too.
Where is my data stored?
Your trails are stored on your phone. Signing in only keeps your name and email with your account. Read the privacy policy for details.
Do I need an Apple Watch?
No. The watch app is optional — iPhone and Android do everything on their own.
How much does it cost?
Agad is free, with no ads.
