Explore at your own pace.
A calm GPS tracker for rides and hikes. No account, no cloud — just you and the trail.
Wren.
You've climbed the height of Table Mountain.
The app should lower your heart rate, not raise it.
The ride is the experience. The app is the memory.
If most trackers feel like arriving at a race, TrailFree feels like arriving at a quiet trailhead. There's everything you need — and nobody's shouting.
Gentle stories, not statistics.
TrailFree notices your time outside and frames it in nature — never a leaderboard, never a target.
You've climbed the height of Table Mountain.
Six hours outdoors this month, mostly before 8am.
Across 9 outings
Your longest single walk was the pine ridge — a quiet 8 km.
Everything you need. Nothing you don't.
One-tap recording
Start and forget. It pauses when you stop, tells a ride from a hike on its own, and keeps your track safe even if your phone gives up.
Printed-map track maps
Your route drawn as a soft moss line on a warm, muted basemap — a field map, not a glossy satellite view. Works offline for recording; the map fills in when you have signal.
Gentle insights
Plain-language observations that open one at a time. Look for twenty seconds, then go outside.
Light by default
Morning light, not night mode — with dark for dusk, and your name, units and reminders exactly how you like them.
Your data, as GPX
Every outing exports as a standard GPX file. Keep it, move it, or delete it — it's yours.
Private by design
No sign-up, no accounts, no tracking. Everything is stored locally. Nothing leaves this device.
Your rides never leave your phone.
TrailFree is defined as much by what it leaves out. No feed to scroll, no scores to chase — just a calm record of your time outdoors.
- No account to use it — nothing to sign up for
- No social feed, leaderboards or segments
- No trophies, streaks or gamification
- No ads, no trackers — your data stays on device
You were moving before the trailhead car park filled.
Free forever — never a bait-and-switch.
Recording, maps, insights and GPX export are free, with no account and no ads. We'll never paywall a feature that's free today.
One day we may offer optional extras for people who want them — a private club to share outings with your friends, say, or an encrypted backup across your devices. Those would be add-ons you choose to switch on, never a tax on the app you downloaded. The private, on-device app will always stand on its own.
