When you use the native Apple Watch app to record your workouts there’s no easy way to export that data. This app aims to fill that gap, reading from HealthKit, fetching running, cycling and many more workouts and converting them into handy GPX files. You can also upload GPX files to Strava, open them on your favourite GPX editor or share them. If iCloud Drive is enabled on your device, GPX files are synced automatically in a folder named "GPX Workout". You can easily browse them with the Finder app on your Mac or with the Files app on iOS. This is a one man band project: comments and suggestions are welcome and I'll do my best to answer and give support!
Where is the heart rate?
A reasonably good app. That said, it doesn't seem to export heart rate. That would get the fifth star.
Does the job!
I often accidentally end rides in the middle on my Apple Watch and then I have two workouts for the same ride uploaded to Strava. This app allows me to export the GPX files for both rides and then I’m using a free online tool that combines the GPX files. Adding the “merging” files feature in the app would be sweet, but this workflow is good too :) Thanks for building!
Exported GPX files won’t import to Google Maps
Nice user interface, easy to use. But the GPX files it produces can’t be imported into Google Maps. Google says “The file contains invalid or unsupported data”.
Good overall, Some bugs
It does exactly what it says it will do, which I appreciate. Developer: I have some suggestions and have experienced some bugs. 1) once I convert a workout from the list, it doesn’t appear in the list anymore, even if I delete the gpx file. Maybe add an “imported” section so users can import workouts again in case they delete the file? 2) being able to choose the export/storage location would be excellent because I don’t really want gpx files using iCloud storage space Just some ideas. Thank you for this excellent app! Edit: Turns out #1 is already implemented! Thank you for that foresight!
Good, simple and straightforward
Good, simple, nice-looking and straightforward app without ads. Many thanks for this!!! Discovered a small bug: when renaming a local GPX track, it is not renamed in the list until the app is restarted. Also I would agree with the previous reviewer that local files should be exposed to iTunes/Finder management.
Generally good but
... can I have all GPX files exported to a folder, or can you just expose all GPX files in Files app? I need to import all of my hundreds of workouts to Fog of World. Edit: I figured this out, thank you. I would still suggest expose these files in documents so people who prefers iTunes/Finder sync can use cable.
Just what I needed
I was looking for an app to export my daily walk/run from my Apple Watch workouts to GPX files. I am participating in a charity fundraising relay event online that requires uploading GPX files to log activities completed. Not sure why this functionality is not built into the Apple workout app and other apps seem to require a subscription to utilize this feature. Glad I found GPX Workout because it has been working perfectly and it is free!
