Smart lap detection
Indoor laps recognized by magnetic heading cycles on 111m and 400m rinks. Outdoor laps use GPS lap closure.
iPhone · Apple Watch
Skating workouts, measured lap by lap.
Skates turns every session into rich data — indoor rink laps, outdoor routes, arm swings, heart rate, and energy — without ever taking your phone out of your pocket.
Built for skaters
Everything a skating session produces, captured.
Arm swing counter
Apple Watch motion picks up each direction change so you can see cadence and effort alongside lap pace.
Heart rate & energy
Live HR, active and basal energy streamed from HealthKit — counted minute-by-minute, pause-aware.
Outdoor route map
See your path render in real time on the phone and review the full route after the session.
Weather snapshot
Temperature, conditions, and wind are captured once at session start and saved to the workout record.
Photo & note
Attach a photo and a short note after each session so the memory sticks, not just the numbers.
How it works
Three taps, then skate.
-
1
Pick your rink
Choose indoor (111m or 400m) or outdoor. Your last choice is remembered, so it's usually one tap.
-
2
Start the session
Motion, magnetic heading, GPS, and heart rate start recording at once. Lock your phone — it keeps running.
-
3
Review & save
After you stop, the app compiles laps, pace, heart-rate zones, and route into a clean summary to save.
