Kayaking Tracker App
Every paddle stroke on the map.
Watersports Tracker records your distance, pace, speed, and route — whether you're touring coastlines or training on flat water.
“Reliable, powerful and easy to use”
|iPhone + Apple Watch + Android
You paddle for hours. How far did you actually go?
Kayaking can mean a two-hour lake loop or a multi-day coastal expedition. Either way, you want to know your distance, your pace, and your route. Generic running apps don't give you that context — and they definitely don't work well from a cockpit.
The kayaking tracker app built for riders
Not a generic fitness tracker with a water icon. Features designed for how kayaking actually works.
Distance and pace tracking
See your distance grow in real time and get audio updates per kilometre or mile. Review your pace across the session to see where you sped up or slowed down.
Route mapping for every paddle
Your GPS trace is plotted on the map automatically. Replay tours, compare routes, and save your favourite waterways for next time.
Apple Watch as your cockpit display
Customise your watch screens to show distance, pace, speed, and heart rate — right on your wrist where you can see them mid-paddle.
Fitness and health integration
Heart rate data syncs throughout your paddle. Every session counts toward your Apple Health activity rings and calories burned.
Stats you'll track every session
Everything recorded automatically. Just hit start and focus on the water.

Yes — the app is free to download and use for kayaking. You can record unlimited sessions, replay routes, and review stats without a subscription or account.
Does Apple Watch work for kayaking?
