beacen

Follow the route.
Keep riding.

Import a GPX on your iPhone, send it to Apple Watch, and navigate without being forced to record a workout.

One clear workflow

From file to wrist.

  1. Import

    Choose one or more GPX routes from Files, Mail or another app.

  2. Send

    Transfer a selected route to Apple Watch.

  3. Navigate

    Follow the route forwards or in reverse with upcoming-turn and off-route guidance.

  4. Keep riding

    Keep beacen focused on navigation while your preferred workout app runs separately.

Focused by design

The route tools that matter.

Built for Apple Watch

Keep your imported route, upcoming turns and navigation status available on your wrist.

Recover when you leave the route

Warning states, direct rejoin guidance and breadcrumbs help you find the route again.

Routes stay yours

Keep routes locally or use optional private iCloud sync. No beacen account is required.

Navigation without the activity feed

Use beacen alongside your preferred workout app, without compulsory recording or social features.

A deliberate boundary

Navigation only.

beacen is intentionally not a workout tracker, social network, route planner, or activity feed. It works alongside Apple Workout, Strava, WorkOutDoors, and other fitness apps rather than replacing them.
