Paddle Paddle
Paddling tracker for kayak, canoe and SUP
Speed, stroke rate, heart rate and your route — on iPhone in a dry bag or straight from your Apple Watch. Built for wet hands and bright sun.

Ready when you are
Check GPS, pick your boat, go
Before you start, Paddle Paddle shows GPS accuracy and whether your heart-rate strap is connected. Choose kayak, canoe or paddle board, set voice cues — and follow the route of an earlier session if you like.
Built for the water
Big numbers, even in bright sun
High visibility switches to opaque panels and large numbers, and keeps the screen at full brightness while you record.
Pausing is a slide, not a tap — so a splash or a wet finger never stops your session by accident.
On your wrist
Apple Watch, start to finish
Start from the watch, swipe between time, distance, speed, strokes per minute and heart rate, and reach Pause, End and Water Lock in one swipe. Sessions sync to your iPhone later.
Every session, remembered
History you can search — and see on a map
Filter by craft, search your notes and see the month at a glance, with the trend against last month. Switch to the map to see everywhere you've paddled.
Learn from each paddle
Speed-coloured tracks and charts
Each session shows its track coloured by speed, with start, pause and finish markers — plus distance, moving time, average and max speed, stroke rate, heart rate, calories and weather, and charts over time.

Questions and answers
Does it keep tracking with the screen locked?
Yes. Lock your iPhone or keep it in a dry bag — Paddle Paddle keeps recording until you end the session.
Can I track with just my Apple Watch?
Yes. The watch records time, distance, speed, stroke rate and heart rate on its own, and syncs the session to your iPhone later.
Where does stroke rate come from?
From your Apple Watch's motion sensors — turn on Stroke rate from Apple Watch in Settings → Sensors.
Is it readable in bright sun?
Turn on High visibility in Settings for opaque panels, larger numbers and full brightness while recording.
My trip wasn't recorded. What should I check?
Make sure Location Services are allowed for Paddle Paddle in Settings → Privacy → Location Services on your iPhone.
