Built for long days out: low battery drain, full offline maps, and a recorder that survives lock screens and dropped signal.

What it does

Everything a logbook should be

Offline-first recording

Tracks record straight to your phone. Airplane mode, dead zones, multi-day hikes — nothing is lost and nothing needs a connection.

Auto-detect activity

Start walking, riding, or driving and Altlat notices, starts logging, and files the activity under the right type.

Maps that work out there

Multiple open map sources with full tile caching, a compass mode, scale bar, and a proper dark theme for night hikes.

Live on your lock screen

Distance, time, and pace ride along as an iPhone Live Activity — glanceable from the lock screen and Dynamic Island.

GPX in and out

Import GPX routes from anywhere, pin saved routes on the recording map, and keep your history portable.

Backup, on your terms

Sign in with Apple or Google and finished tracks back up automatically. Stay signed out and everything simply stays on your phone.

Privacy

Your trails are yours

Local by default. Altlat records to a database on your device. Until you sign in, no location data ever leaves your phone.

Backup is opt-in. Signing in with Apple or Google syncs your finished tracks to your private account so you can restore them later. We store your tracks, an email address, and nothing else — no ads, no analytics brokers, no selling data.

Deletion is total. Delete your account any time from the You tab in the app. It permanently removes your account and every synced track from our servers; the copies on your phone remain yours.
