A session, from route to finish

  1. 01

    Before

    Pick a route from your library or nearby, and plan the session. Those who join see the full route.

  2. 02

    On the day

    Send the route to your watch, follow your position on the map, and share it with the group if you want.

  3. 03

    After

    Were you the organizer? Your GPX fills in the session's distance, time and elevation gain, or your watch the distance and time, through Apple Health or Health Connect.

Your home and your position stay yours

  • Your recordings stay private

    A route you record is visible to you only. Reused in a session, its start and finish are hidden over 200 m.

  • A session's start, for those who joined

    Among nearby routes, the start and finish of a session are shown only to those who joined it.

  • Your position, if you share it

    During the session, you choose to share your position with the organizer and the other participants, and nobody else. It stops when the session ends.

For running, hiking and cycling

Trail running included. Padel, tennis, 5-a-side football and fitness are played without a route.

Frequently asked questions

Is it free?

Yes. Drawing, importing, recording, storing and following your routes is free, with no subscription.

Do I have to stop using Strava or my watch's app?

No, Buddiz works with them. A route exported from Strava as GPX can be imported, and the track goes back to your watch. Buddiz mostly helps you find who to do it with.

Which watches work?

Those whose app opens a GPX file: Garmin Connect, COROS, Suunto. On iPhone, they appear in the share menu. On Android, for Garmin Connect, save the file and then open it.

Who sees my routes?

Only you, until you plan a session on one. A recorded route reused in a session keeps its start and finish hidden over 200 m.

How many routes can I keep?

Up to 200, each up to 500 km. To make room, delete the ones you no longer use.

Can I draw a route without a planned session?

Yes. From the app's Routes page, draw or import it: it waits in your library, ready for later.
