Field notes
Altura works from hiking workouts already stored in Apple Health rather than tracking a walk itself. Its output combines a route over contour lines with photos, videos, elevation, heart rate, and written notes, and users can scrub through the route to revisit the day. The site also describes a difficulty marker based on the section with the highest heart rate and slowest pace. A sample day is available before a user has recorded a hike.
