Route Maps & GPS

Apple Health Sync

Most fitness apps ignore your ruck weight. RuckHero starts with established exercise science formulas, then adjusts for load, elevation, pace, and body composition. Ruck Tax shows the estimated extra burn from carrying weight, so loaded rucks are not counted like ordinary walks.

See where you went. Track your favorite routes. Compare sessions to measure real progress over time.

Your rucks count. RuckHero syncs workouts and accurate calorie data to Apple Health so your activity rings reflect real effort.

No Smartwatch Required

Just your iPhone and your ruck. Start tracking in three taps - no extra hardware needed.

Works Offline, Wherever You Ruck

No signal on trail? No problem. RuckHero tracks your ruck offline and syncs when you're back.


Built for Ruckers Who Want Better Data

Whether you ruck on pavement, trails, or neighborhood loops, RuckHero is for people carrying weight on purpose and tired of generic walking stats.

01
Regular Ruckers
You already know a loaded walk is not just a walk. RuckHero tracks the extra effort your pack adds so your sessions reflect the work you actually did.
02
Apple Fitness and Strava Users
If your 30 lb ruck looks like an ordinary walk, your tracker is missing the point. RuckHero is built to account for the load, pace, elevation, and effort generic apps leave out.
03
Progress-Focused Walkers, Hikers, and Tactical Athletes
For anyone carrying weight on purpose and trying to get stronger. Compare sessions, watch your Ruck Tax stack up, and see whether the work is paying off.


RuckHero

As Simple as Lacing Up Your Boots

Step 1: Enter Your Load

Add your ruck weight once and start in a few taps.


Step 2: Ruck With Your iPhone

RuckHero tracks pace, distance, elevation, and calorie burn as you move.


Step 3: Know What It Took

Review the route, total burn, Ruck Tax, and progress after each session.
