Prefer to buy once: https://apps.garmin.com/apps/201e9e43-f33c-4b56-b3f5-8a67184e3d1c BUILT FOR YOUR GARMIN. TUNED FOR YOUR PACK OR VEST. Heart rate can't see weight, only strain. A calorie estimate built on your pulse under-credits a loaded carry, and the gap grows with the weight, the hills, and your fitness: a trained heart rate barely lifts. RuckTrack puts the weight you carry, the terrain, and the grade into the calorie math, so the number counts the load, not just your heart rate. Whether you ruck, walk in a weighted vest, or hike under a loaded pack, indoors or out. WHERE YOUR PACK WEIGHT LIVES Under Stats, in the Connect IQ section, every session carries Ruck Calories, Calories Without Pack, Pack Calorie Bonus, Burn Rate, Terrain Surface, and Pack Weight. Garmin's own Pack Weight box stays empty; Connect IQ apps cannot write it. Outdoor sessions save as Rucking with names like "Ruck 35 lb", not just another Hike. Some older watches save it as a Hike instead, with the same name and numbers. Grade and Metabolic Rate chart second by second, so you can see which hills cost you. THE CALORIE MATH COUNTS WHAT YOU CARRY RuckTrack uses the Pandolf equation, the load-carriage model validated by U.S. Army research, to calculate calories from the weight you carry, your speed, the terrain grade, and the surface underfoot: Road, Gravel, Trail, Sand, or Snow. Built for loaded hikes, ruck marches, vest walks, tabbing, yomping, and GORUCK events. SEVEN SCREENS. ONE SWIPE APART. Clean, high-contrast, nothing to squint at: - Distance, time, calories, and a real-time HR zone arc gauge - Current and average pace, elevation gain, and vertical speed - Calories: total burn, avg rate, and the percentage your pack or vest adds - Lap tracking with auto-laps at every mile or kilometer - HR zones: the zone you are in right now, no math needed - Time of day, date, and battery - Overview: six key numbers on one screen, and you choose which six, pace or speed Switch off any screen you never swipe to. START IN SECONDS QuickLoad gets you moving: your last weight, a saved preset, or a custom one. Start before GPS locks. TREADMILL RUCKS AND VEST WALKS Two indoor modes. Auto scales the watch's heart-rate calorie estimate by your pack or vest weight. In Manual you set the incline and either type the belt speed or let a paired foot pod (like Stryd) feed live pace, and RuckTrack runs the full Pandolf math. A Pace screen shows pace, speed, and incline, so intervals need no buttons. Save it as a Walk or a Ruck. Outdoors it uses whatever pod your watch does. AUTO-PAUSE WHEN YOU STOP Auto Pause pauses at a crosswalk or light and resumes when you walk on, so stops don't skew pace or time. Off by default, outdoor only, and quick to resume if GPS drops under trees. POST-ACTIVITY SUMMARY Distance, time, pace, and calories with burn rate and pack bonus. A Volume page: the weight you carried times how far you went. Elevation chart and HR zone breakdown. Press the action button for Calorie Details: pack bonus in kcal and percent, plus every number behind it. LIFETIME STATS, STREAKS, AND BESTS Lifetime distance, time, calories, and tonnage, plus your weekly streak and best pace at each pack weight. One session a week keeps the streak alive. RUNS ON YOUR GARMIN Runs on fēnix, epix Pro, Forerunner, Venu, MARQ, Instinct, and more. Every screen is drawn for your watch's display, not stretched from a bigger one. Ad-free, no account, no server of ours. The calorie math runs on your watch. RuckTrack draws its own screens, so it does not show the Garmin map. Want the map? PackCal, our companion, runs inside Garmin's own Hike (not Approach, Descent, D2 or MARQ) and counts your pack there: https://apps.garmin.com/apps/809c953d-9547-49d3-9949-c27ad3a5c218 Calorie math, FAQ, and support: https://meridian-apps.github.io/rucktrack-docs/

What's new

RuckTrack counts the weight on your back, the terrain, and the grade in your calorie math, using the Pandolf load-carriage equation. Outdoor, treadmill, or weighted vest, with or without GPS. No account, no ads, no tracking, and the math runs on the watch. v2.12.4 Calories hold up better when GPS is patchy. If the signal faltered, the app used to hand those stretches to your watch's heart-rate estimate, which knows nothing about your pack. It now keeps using your pack weight and speed instead, so a loaded session counts as loaded. Totals on affected sessions may read higher than before. Adds Forerunner 945 LTE. v2.12.1 Fix for the What's New page: scrolling it now moves the text instead of re-flowing it to a narrower column, and the last lines no longer clip at the edge of the screen. v2.12.0 Hide the screens you never use: switch off any activity screen you do not swipe to, so the carousel is only as long as you want it. Set it under Settings, before a ruck or during one. What's New inside the app: after an update a green dot on the start screen points at Settings, where a What's New page explains what changed. Terrain on the start screen: your terrain now sits above your pack weight, so you can check both before you press start. The clock and battery came off that screen to make room, since your watch already shows them. v2.11.0 Speed on the Overview screen: pick Current Speed or Average Speed for any of the six cells, in kph or mph, if you would rather read speed than pace. That takes the metric list to seventeen choices. v2.10.0 Customize the Overview screen: pick which six metrics fill the grid, from fifteen choices including time of day, lap pace, lap distance, lap time, average burn, pack calories and battery. Set each cell under Settings, or apply a ready-made layout with one tap. Available before a ruck and during one. The smallest Instinct watches keep the fixed grid. v2.9.0 Light theme for fenix 7, fenix 8 Solar, Enduro 3 and Forerunner 255/255S/955. On these watches the activity screens now use a light background, which suits their display type. Switch between Light and Dark any time under Settings, before or during a ruck. AMOLED watches are unchanged. v2.8.7 Treadmill foot pod fix: a "no foot pod" note no longer appears during rest intervals or before you start the belt, when your speed is briefly zero. v2.8.6 Stability fix: a rare crash on the smallest Instinct watches (Instinct 3 Solar, Instinct E) is gone. No other watch was affected. Earlier: treadmill foot pod support and the treadmill Pace screen, auto pause when you stop, treadmill Walk or Ruck type, the all-in-one Overview screen, lifetime Stats and pack presets, and more supported watches.
