RUCKR — Load-Aware Rucking Tracker
Track every ruck with the precision your training deserves. RUCKR calculates calorie burn based on what you actually carry using the Pandolf equation — the same formula trusted by military researchers for decades. No guessing, no generic estimates.
LOAD-AWARE TRACKING
• Record rucks with GPS route, pace, elevation, and terrain tracking
• Calculate accurate calorie burn based on your carried weight, body metrics, and terrain
• Build an equipment library of rucksacks, plates, sandbags, and accessories
• Create reusable gear presets so you're ready to go in seconds
• Track equipment usage stats across all your rucks
• Log a ruck by hand when you forgot to hit record or it happened off-app
RUCK FROM YOUR WRIST
• Start, pause, and finish a ruck right from your Apple Watch — no phone in hand
• Carry your load, not your phone, and keep tracking every mile
• Your watch ruck syncs straight into your RUCKR history
IMPORT & SYNC
• Pull activities from Apple Health and Garmin automatically
• Write finished rucks back to Apple Health with load-adjusted calories
• Review and finalize imported rucks before they appear in your feed
• Smart duplicate detection keeps your history clean
• Batch actions for managing multiple imports at once
SHARE WITH FRIENDS WHO RUCK
• Follow friends and see their rucks in a clean, chronological feed
• Give fist bumps and leave comments
• Public or private account — your choice
• Route privacy controls hide start and end points by default
• No algorithms, no engagement loops, just your people
BUILT FOR RUCKERS
• Dark mode interface designed for readability before, during, and after your ruck
• Distance and weight displayed in your preferred units
• Equipment-level detail on every activity
• Photo and notes support to document your sessions
• Crash recovery saves your ruck if the app closes unexpectedly
PRECISE BY DEFAULT
Your body metrics power the Pandolf equation alongside your carried load, terrain grade, and walking speed. RUCKR stores everything in metric behind the scenes and displays it however you prefer. Every calorie number means something.
What you carry matters. RUCKR is built for people who take their rucks seriously.
This app is outstanding. It’s easy to use and a really good looking app as well. The authors has it easily set up to report bugs and suggest items for future updates. AND they answer you back. Moved from another rucking app that I paid for to RUCKR. It’s that good. And it’ll keep getting better. TL/DR: You ruck? This is the app you want. Trust me.
Great App

Allows equipment customization and saved presets, logging in app, and adjusts calories for load. They’ve been very quick to address bugs, and they’re taking suggestions for improvements and new features.
It’s a start, but needs lots of work

I love the UI, but it doesn’t integrate with apple Health, no watch app so I can leave my phone at home. It auto paused on me in my pocket, so no clue how much of my ruck it missed. It’s constantly trying to have me import old activities, even though I dismiss them, a few days later it will pop up with batches of activities to review.I’ll be going back to my old Ruck Well App while I wait for this one to mature.
App not ready for big league

Does not sync with Strava or AF. It imports only. Functionality is clunky and the UI is not as smooth as other rucking and hiking apps. Back to AF and Strava and wait for someone to finally figure out how to make a rucking app that plays well with others.
Improved Apple Watch ruck recovery and syncing, including heart-rate data.
Better handling for interrupted or extended Apple Watch rucks.
Fixed an issue that could prevent a completed ruck from closing properly when a dialog was open.
Improved equipment selection when using larger text sizes.
