GPS Route Studio + Creature Companion
The Earth is
your playground
Every other tracker gives you a number and a graph. Turf gives you a creature that grows on your mileage, streets you can claim by running past them, and a feed where those claims are worth showing.

Flags become turf
Run within 30 meters of a real street intersection to capture it into your permanent portfolio.

Someone runs back
Claims hit the feed and leaderboards live. Your rivals see it. The loop starts again.
The app runs a serious engine underneath — GPS, heart rate, Apple Health — but the metrics are just the start of the adventure.
Capture the flag is built in, not bolted on
Intersections are real-world capture points. Race against your ghost, get spoken alerts when a flag is 90 meters out, and defend the territory you've already claimed.
Your history isn't hostage
Switching trackers shouldn't mean losing your miles. Sync and import workout archives from Strava or Apple Health directly into Turf. (Planned — see roadmap.)
