Which activities does Tiles cover?

Tiles reads walks, runs, hikes and bike rides recorded through Apple Watch or iPhone, and imports older activity files in GPX, FIT and CSV formats. Support for additional activity types including swimming, skiing and rowing is planned.

Does Tiles work without an internet connection?

Yes. Tiles reads Apple Health workouts and imported files locally on the device. No online account is required, and nothing is uploaded. Optional iCloud sync uses end-to-end encryption if the user wants their map to appear across multiple Apple devices.

How does Tiles compare with Strava?

Tiles is a private personal map that runs on the device rather than a social training network. There are no followers, no leaderboards and no shared feed. It works alongside training tools like Strava rather than replacing them.
