Tiles
Tiles is a local-first iPhone app that turns Apple Health workouts and route files into a private map of explored places. It also supports optional iCloud Sync, multiple map views, and shareable stat cards.
Private activity mapping on your device
Tiles is a private mapping app for Apple Health workouts and route files. It turns recorded walks, runs, rides, hikes, and imported files into a map of where you have explored, with tiles filling in as your history grows.
The app is built to stay local-first: there is no Tiles account, no ads, and no social feed. Your imported workouts, routes, and map history stay on your iPhone by default, while optional iCloud Sync or Backup can store selected data in your private iCloud container.
Features
Coverage-based map display
See your explored areas fill in on a fog-of-war map as you move through the world and review where you have and have not been yet.
Multiple map views
Switch between fog, heatmap, route, and globe views to inspect the same activity history in different ways.
Scores and milestones
Track Adventure Score, stamps, achievements, and milestone badges that turn imported activity into progress inside the app.
Shareable activity cards
Create shareable stat cards for milestones and achievements while keeping the underlying route data on your device.
Local-first storage with optional iCloud
Store data locally by default, with optional iCloud Sync or Backup if you want selected data in your private iCloud container.

FAQ
Do I need an account to use Tiles?
No. Tiles is designed as a local-first app and does not require a Tiles account to import or view your data.
What can I import into Tiles?
Tiles imports Apple Health workouts and route files such as GPX, FIT, and CSV. The source also says it can handle geotagged photo journeys.
Is Tiles free?
Tiles is free to download and use, with Tiles Pro offered as an optional upgrade for advanced map modes, deeper metrics, and file and photo imports.
Will Tiles drain my battery?
Tiles does not run its own background location tracking. It maps workouts you have already recorded, so it is not meant to track live GPS activity in the background.
Can my data sync through iCloud?
Yes. If you enable optional iCloud Sync or Backup, selected app data is stored in your private iCloud container through Apple’s iCloud service, not on Tiles-operated servers.
