  1. v1.3.0iOS
    Tracks auto-classify!
    Every recording is now auto-classified as cycling, hiking, running, walking, driving, or flying based on motion sensors while you record. The activity glyph appears  in the track list, and on the save toast. Mixed activities are tagged "Mixed"; you can re-tag any track from its detail screen. Tracks recorded before 1.3.0 are tagged once, automatically, using a speed heuristic.
    
    Richer GPX exports
    Exported GPX files now include a metadata block (track name, recorded time, total distance, activity type) so the files round-trip cleanly into Strava, Garmin Connect, Caltopo, and other tools that read GPX metadata.
    
    Steady on long rides
    Map polylines for long recorded tracks are now decimated based on zoom level, so a multi-hour ride renders smoothly at every scale without losing detail when you zoom in. In-flight recording samples are bounded by reservoir sampling, so memory stays flat no matter how long the recording runs.
    
    Smoother recorded altitude
    Recorded altitude is now EMA-smoothed in the default fused mode, matching the on-screen reading. Elevation gain and the altitude chart on saved tracks line up with what you saw while recording.
    
    Plus minor reliability fixes across the Live Activity widget, activity-aware toast wording, and track save handling.
  2. v1.2.1iOS
    Smoother, steadier altitude
    A new barometric outlier filter rejects physically impossible pressure spikes (think: driving into a tunnel or a sudden cabin-pressure change), so elevation gain and the altitude chart stay clean on real-world rides and hikes.
    
    Auto-pause when you stop
    Track recording now pauses automatically when CoreMotion detects you're stationary — no more drift-padded distance or phantom elevation gain while you're at a viewpoint or stopped at a light. Resumes the moment you move again.
    
    More accurate elevation gain
    Fixed a unit bug in the Kalman filter and improved how tracks split when you switch between moving and stationary. Recorded tracks now match what your legs actually did.
    
    Reliable background recording
    Long recordings no longer drop points when the app is backgrounded. Fused altitude, distance, and elevation keep accumulating the whole ride.
    
    GPS Signal Quality: new Processing section
    The quality sheet now shows your current altitude source (fused baro+GPS, GPS-only, or flight mode) and live motion activity, so you can see exactly what the app is doing under the hood.
    
    Plus smaller fixes across flight mode reporting, map zoom stability, and accessibility.
  3. v1.2.0iOS
    Power Saver Mode
    New Power Saver option reduces battery consumption on long rides by lowering GPS update frequency and pausing sensors when stationary.
    
    GPX Export
    Share your recorded tracks as standard GPX files — tap the share button on any track detail screen.
    
    Smoother Charts
    Charts now use EMA smoothing for cleaner speed, altitude, and pressure lines. A new GPS Activity chart shows your location update frequency in real time.
    
    iPad Improvements
    Map state is no longer lost when switching sidebar tabs. Layout adapts correctly in split-screen and slide-over multitasking.
    
    Performance & Reliability
    Faster track saves, more stable map zoom, improved Live Activity updates, and numerous under-the-hood optimizations.
  4. v1.1.0iOS
    Track Recording
    Record your GPS tracks with a single tap. Saved tracks appear as colored polylines on the map. Manage tracks in a dedicated tab — rename, choose from 10 colors, toggle visibility, or swipe to delete with undo.
