Tiles turns Apple Health workouts, GPX, FIT, CSV, and photos into one local-first private exploration map. See everywhere your walks, runs, hikes, rides, and trips have taken you, spot the gaps you have not explored yet, and share milestones without creating an account.
Tiles: Map Your Adventures
Hi Product Hunt! 👋 I'm excited to share Tiles with you today.
I originally built Tiles to solve a personal problem: I had years of hiking trails and trips recorded on my Apple Watch, and wanted a way to see all of it in one place. Once I built my demo, I realized I kept visiting the same places over and over. Tiles became an easy way to see nearby areas that I'd never explored before. It pushed me to break out of my routine and explore new places.
As I shared early versions, almost everyone asked for the same thing: "How do I add friends?", "where can I see other people Score?" I wrestled with this for a while. I always imagined Tiles as offline and local first, but everyone I showed it to wanted some kind of social feature.
I did not want to build another fitness social network, so I tried to keep the fun parts of sharing without turning the app into a feed. Tiles has shareable cards for scores, milestones, and year-in-review style stats, without needing to upload your full route history anywhere. Does that feel like the right tradeoff, have you had to make similar decisions between privacy and social features?
I’d love to hear your feedback or questions. How would you use Tiles: as a memory map for old routes, a way to find new places to explore, or something else entirely?
How would you compare Tiles to Bump (by amo)? If someone is already using Bump, what would be the main reason to switch to Tiles? Is it the local-first approach, Apple Health/workout imports, privacy, GPX/FIT/CSV support, or something else?
Also curious about monetization. Since the app is currently free, do you plan to keep it that way long term, or are you considering some kind of paid tier, subscription, donations, or other sustainability model in the future?

I like the idea, especially because I love travelling and active lifestyle. What will be the price in the future?

Does it stay fully offline, and can you selectively share a milestone without revealing your home area?
The “spot the gaps you haven’t explored yet” idea is a nice motivator. It makes movement feel more like discovering your own map, without turning route history into another social feed.
