About HarfHike
I started HarfHike as a hobby project in 2023 for use during the 4Daagse in Nijmegen, the Netherlands. I wanted to share the location of me and two friends with our group of friends "Harf" such that they could follow our progress each day.
During the 4Daagse we experienced that the App was also very useful for ourselves, to locate where the others were and how far the next resting area was.
Since then, I have gradually added more functionality and HarfHike has transitioned from a simple hobby project into a useful app for anybody who likes outdoor hiking and cycling.
Some of HarfHike's features are*:
- Create and store routes (Hiking & cycling)
- Cycle routes powered by CycleStreets
- Wandel- en fietsknooppunten (Netherlands)
- Search a location
- Follow your location on the map
- Alert when deviating from the route
- Store trips as workouts in Apple Health (IOS) / Health Connect (Android)
- View all workouts from Apple Health (also if created with another App)
- Apple Watch App extension with map
- Apple Watch 'complications' for daily steps and heartrate
- Event mode showing the route & facilities of the 4Daagse (more events to follow)
- Share your location with friends during an event
HarfHike is available in the Apple App Store and in Google Play.
