Activity

See and share how you move.

Activity is part of Hytch, a map-native group messenger for real-life coordination. It keeps your steps, walks, runs, and trips in one place, and when you want someone to follow along, you can share a live journey until you arrive.

Share

Share a live journey, not just an ETA.

An ETA gives one predicted time. A live journey lets the people you choose watch your actual location move along your route until you arrive, on any kind of trip.

01

Share the link

Start a trip on foot, on a bike, or in a car, and send the link into a Hytch chat or to anyone, such as a partner, a parent, or a friend.

02

They follow along

Anyone with the link watches your location move along your route, with distance, time, pace, and an ETA updating as you go.

03

It ends with the trip

A live journey is tied to one trip and closes when it ends. Disable the link sooner and access ends for everyone who had it.

A flag if you move faster than your mode allows.

On a walk, run, bike, or scooter trip, moving faster than that mode’s speed range for more than a few seconds puts a warning across the top of the journey screen for followers watching in the Hytch app. It is not a push notification, and because GPS can be imperfect, it is a prompt to check in, not an alarm. Cars, rideshare, and transit never trigger it, because their speeds vary too widely.

Track

Your movement, in one place.

Steps and distance

Steps and distance on foot for today, the last 7 days, and the last 30 days, with your daily average and best day.

Walks and runs

Each one is saved with its route map, distance, pace per mile, and duration. Turn any of them into a recap card to share with contacts or a buddy group.

Trips and impact

Total miles and trips, your longest and average trip, and the buddies you traveled with. Each trip gets an impact grade from A+ to D based on how you traveled, with estimated CO₂ and fuel saved when you walk, bike, carpool, or take transit instead of driving alone.

Apple Health

Opt in to read steps and workouts from Apple Health, and save your Hytch walks and runs back as workouts. Health data stays on your device, and you choose what to share.
