RuckWell: Rucking Tracker

Weighted Vest Walks & Workouts

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS.

Rucking is walking with weight on your back. Most fitness trackers log it as a walk. RuckWell counts the load — and it counts what you do to recover from it. Tell it what you're carrying and the weight becomes part of every number: calories, ruck work, ruck power, and your training load over time. No running required. WEIGHT-ADJUSTED FROM THE FIRST STEP Save the packs and vests you actually use, pick one, and go — carrying weight raises the energy cost of every mile, and RuckWell scores the effort accordingly instead of handing you the numbers from an unloaded walk. GPS BUILT FOR LOADED MOVEMENT Filtered distance and pace, mile and kilometer splits, auto-pause for lights and rest breaks, and barometric elevation gain — because the hills are the point. GUIDANCE FOR YOUR DAY Home opens on a Today card that reads your week so far and points you toward what will move you forward: a ruck, some mobility, or a rest day. One tap starts it with your pack and settings already loaded. EVERY METRIC AT A GLANCE The live workout screen puts distance, pace, heart rate, elevation, splits, and load metrics in one full-screen, scrolling view. No paging around to find your pace mid-step. RUCKLOAD™ TRAINING LOAD RuckLoad™ quantifies your recent training stress from intensity, volume, ruck weight, and elevation gain — across everything you do, not just rucking. Runs, walks, hikes, and lifting all count toward it. RECOVERY IS PART OF THE TRAINING Wake up to a daily Recovery Score built from overnight HRV, resting heart rate, respiratory rate, sleep, and your current RuckLoad. Log the other half of the work too — sauna sessions, mobility, and easy movement — so what you do to recover shows up in the picture instead of disappearing from it. ON YOUR WRIST A full Apple Watch app that records on its own, with or without your phone nearby, and syncs back when you're done. Live Activities on the Lock Screen, Smart Stack and Home Screen widgets, and metrics that stay readable on the Always-On display. INDOOR AND TREADMILL Set speed and incline in the app, up to 40% grade. Pace comes from belt speed, so treadmill rucks land in your history with real numbers. TRAILS AND ROUTES Import a GPX route and follow it with breadcrumb navigation on iPhone and Apple Watch, with audio turn cues and off-route alerts. Keep your head up instead of on your phone. HEART RATE, YOUR WAY Apple Watch or a Bluetooth chest strap, with time-in-zone for every workout. Use the heart rate zones you set up in Apple Health (iOS 27), a standard formula, or thresholds you set yourself, zone by zone. SYNCS WHERE YOU ALREADY ARE Two-way Apple Health, plus automatic upload to Strava with your training data intact. HISTORY THAT ADDS UP A calendar of everything you've carried, with splits, route maps, elevation profiles, nutrition and macros, and 7-, 30-, 90-day and all-time trends. YOUR DATA, YOUR DEVICE No account. No sign-up. Your workouts, routes, and health data live on your device and sync through Apple Health — not through us. RuckWell works fully offline, and nothing you record is ever sold. Strava upload happens only when you connect it. Whether you're training for an event, building a habit, or just getting stronger under load, RuckWell tracks the work and the recovery it takes to keep doing it. Requires iPhone on iOS 18 or later. Apple Watch app requires watchOS 10.4 or later. RuckWell Plus is an auto-renewing subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase, and renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.

On iOS 27, your heart rate zones can come straight from Apple Health. Your rucks are searchable in Spotlight, and Siri can start a saved setup. Apple Health heart rate zones If you've set up heart rate zones in Apple Health, RuckWell can use them directly, so both apps agree on what Zone 3 means. New installs start there; if you're already on a formula, we'll offer the switch once and show you exactly what changes before you take it. When Apple Health recalculates your zones, RuckWell follows, and your zone alert moves with them instead of firing at the old numbers. Requires iOS 27. Zones recorded with the workout RuckWell hands your zones to Apple Health before a workout starts, so your time in each zone is recorded under your zones rather than a default set. Every saved ruck also stores the zones it was recorded under, so older workouts keep reading correctly after you change them. A clearer custom zone editor Building your own zones now works zone by zone, each one bounded by its neighbours, instead of editing a list of raw thresholds. Formula descriptions moved below the picker, and the whole formula row is tappable. Find any ruck from Spotlight Your workouts are indexed in Spotlight. Search a title, a date, or an activity from the Home Screen and tap straight into the workout. Start a saved setup with Siri Your saved workout setups are available to Shortcuts and Siri, pack, activity and goal included, so a full ruck starts from one phrase or a shortcut. Fixes • Faster, more reliable syncing of your latest settings between phone and watch • Stability improvements for iOS 27 • Minor UI improvements • General bug fixes
