Ghost Trax
Race Yourself, Beat Your Ghost!
This is a new app taking the idea of racing your ghost in video games and applying it to real life fitness exercises like running, walking and cycling. The app gives you real time feedback against your chosen ghost on a chosen route and shows you a live delta as well as capturing your progress at 12 splits along the route, showing you per split timings and overall progress against your Ghost. Think olympic splits but on your watch against you, or your friends ghosts.

HI everyone! My name is Ady and I'm director of Ghost Trax LTD and creator of the Ghost Trax App! I'm 41 live in Cambridge Uk, a dad of 2 and fully certified AuDHD. I started my journey with Ghost Trax back in 2020 when I started running, I would run the same loop and try to beat my times, only knowing the outcome when I hit the finish line. I've always been a keen gamer and me and my son spent a lot of time trying to beat the nintendo ghosts on mariokart (thank you Nintendo!). So my brain put the two together and I thought "imagine if I could get real time feedback on my runs against my ghost". So I started to build Ghost Trax with an Arduino, a LED array and a gps chip, and didn't get far at all! It didn't take long before I realised I held/carried a gps enabled device in my pocket at all times and I quickly pivoted to trying to do this on iOS. I got the framework up but with no idea how to get beyond the basic screens. Cut to 2025, I dug the project up again and with the help of LLMs I was able to build out what I had dreamt up all those years back. I had to do a whole load of testing, validating gates etc, making sure my ghosts/routes associated properly, but in doing so I really grew to love the app. Each time I went out for. a run to test my app, I'd invitable end up racing my ghost and trying to beat it! Exactly what I was aiming for, and that dopamine hit is real :) Anyway.... cut to end of May 2026, I couldn't believe it, I'd started a LTD company, had my app released on the Apple Store and was up and running! would really love the support and guidance of this community, and I hope if you download the app you enjoy racing your ghost! n.b. I should mention that you ca also add friends and race their ghosts on the same loop, create leagues and I've got pacing coming on v1.8 after some more testing ;)
