About WristTopo

WristTopo turns the Apple Watch into a standalone outdoor navigator — offline topographic maps, GPX routes, and turn-by-turn guidance on your wrist, no phone required. Built independently and privacy-first; free to start, with an optional Pro upgrade.

WristTopo is a watch-first navigation app for hikers, trail runners, cyclists and backcountry skiers. Plan a route on iPhone, sync it to the watch in seconds, then head out phone-free with offline topographic maps and turn-by-turn guidance — even with no signal. It records workouts to Apple Health, imports and exports GPX, and keeps you on track with backtrack and off-route guidance. Built by one independent developer with no investors, no ads and no tracking, it holds a 4.8★ rating across 330+ App Store reviews worldwide, 23,000+ downloads, and is available in 10 languages.
