TrackGuide
TrackGuide is a travel app for creating, importing, recording, editing, and following GPX walking routes with guidance on Apple devices.
What is TrackGuide?
TrackGuide is a GPX-based travel and walking app designed to help people create, import, record, edit, share, and follow routes during city walks and hikes. It is aimed at users who navigate preplanned tracks and want turn guidance available on Apple devices while keeping their hands free. Common uses include loading a GPX route found online, recording your own walk, previewing a route, and using Apple Watch guidance while moving. The app is part of a route-navigation workflow centered on tracks rather than general road driving. On Apple platforms, it focuses on outdoor walking and trip navigation with support for route management and sharing features.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
TrackGuide’s purpose is route navigation, so access to location data is consistent with how the app works. Location use can affect battery life, especially if guidance continues while the app is not open. Before keeping it long term, check macOS Privacy & Security settings to confirm you are comfortable with its location permissions and any background location behavior.
Recommendation: Keep TrackGuide if you use GPX walking routes or Apple Watch route guidance. If you do not use it for trips, hikes, or city walks, removing it should only affect your saved routes, app settings, and navigation workflow.
