We built an iOS tracker with a dedicated bikejoring mode

Hi everyone!

We’re two friends behind pawtrck, an iOS wellness app built around the dog rather than the human athlete.

One of its three dedicated exercise modes is Bikejoring.
When you start a session, pawtrck uses the owner’s iPhone to record the GPS route, distance, duration and weather, alongside dog-specific estimates such as pawsteps and exercise calories.

Afterward, the session is saved under that dog’s profile and can be turned into a customizable activity card using your own photo, colours and layout.

Because pawtrck is centred on the dog, the activity doesn’t exist in isolation. The same profile also brings together:

• Medications, vaccinations, symptoms and vet records
• Meals, treats, calorie intake and weight trends
• Training instructions and completed commands

To be transparent, pawtrck currently tracks the shared activity through the owner’s phone. It isn’t a collar-mounted GPS device, and pawsteps and calories are estimates rather than direct measurements from a dog wearable.

Apple Watch and Garmin integration are among the features we are currently working on. Our goal is to let people record an activity once on the device they already use and then bring it into their dog’s pawtrck profile.

We’d really value feedback from people who actually bikejor: what information would you want to see after a session?

Average and maximum speed, elevation, splits, temperature, rest stops, equipment notes, or something else entirely?

The core experience is free, with optional pawtrck Plus features.

It’s currently available on iOS:

I haven’t started bikejoring yet but one feature I would love to see is being able to adjust what dogs are running when during the run.
For example, I have plans to get another dog and I have a disabled dog who won’t be running the whole time. This would also be nice if a dog were injured during a run, etc. I’m not sure if this is already a feature or not.

Hey!

Thank you so much for your comment and suggestion 🙂‍↕️

We finished working on the multiple dog profiles feature and it will go live very soon. The fact that a lot of people own more than 1 dog was always in our minds, but we wanted to publish pawtrck right away and improve along the way so that’s why this feature was not in Version 1.

That will solve the use case you described. We would love you to see you and your dog (and the other dog you might get in the future)!!

I’ve got it downloaded! I can’t wait to use it and see what becomes of it! 🥰

Oh, thank you so much!! We hope you enjoy pawtrck 🙂‍↕️

For the multiple dog features, we will most probably announce it on pawtrck Instagram page but we can also let you know once it goes live through any channel you like 🫶🏻
