Tiles: Map Your Adventures - Turn Apple Health workouts into a private route map

What it does

Tiles is a local-first iPhone app that transforms your Apple Health workouts and route files (GPX, FIT, CSV) into a private, explorable map of everywhere you've walked, run, ridden, or hiked. It uses a fog-of-war style map that reveals explored tiles as you move, and offers multiple map modes including heatmap, route, and globe views. The app also gamifies exploration with an Adventure Score, stamps, and milestones, and allows you to share stat cards without exposing your location data.

Who it is for

Tiles is designed for anyone who wants to see a visual map of their movement history—whether from daily walks, runs, hikes, bike rides, or longer trips. It appeals to privacy-conscious users who want to keep their data on-device, as well as fitness enthusiasts who want to track their exploration over time without relying on a social feed or account.

Why it matters

Most fitness apps focus on performance metrics or social sharing, often at the cost of privacy. Tiles offers a unique combination: a private, local-first map that turns years of workout data into a personal exploration record. By keeping all data on-device and requiring no account, it addresses growing concerns about data privacy. The gamification elements (Adventure Score, stamps) provide motivation to explore new areas, while the ability to import from multiple sources (Apple Health, GPX, FIT, CSV) makes it a central hub for past and future adventures.

Launch signal

Tiles launched on Product Hunt on the day of this writing, with a badge indicating it is live. The app is available for free on the App Store, with an optional Tiles Pro upgrade that unlocks advanced map modes, deeper metrics, and file/photo imports. The launch emphasizes its local-first, no-account approach as a key differentiator.

Brand and naming

The name "Tiles" directly references the core visual metaphor: each route paints tiles onto a map, filling in your world piece by piece. The tagline "Map Your Adventures" positions the app as a tool for exploration and memory, not just fitness tracking. The branding is clean and minimal, focusing on the map interface and privacy promises. The use of "Adventure Score" and "stamps" adds a playful, game-like layer that encourages repeated use.
