Coming in the next app version

Tell the next traveller how it really went.

Write up a real trip, from the first “should we go?” to the flight home. Sipatra can draft it for you from what the app already recorded on the way: your routes, the posts you shared with a location and the places you visited. Readers copy a guide into their own trip plan and keep it offline abroad.

  • Visa and entry steps tied to your passport, stamped with the month you lived them
  • Transport legs with what you rode and what it cost, where you stayed, and each day’s cities and places on a map
  • Real costs by category, shown in the reader’s own currency
  • Tips, the mistakes worth skipping, and routes recorded in the app

  • Digital menu and ordering from the tent or van
  • Mountain huts, campsites and camper stops in one map
  • Everything in one app, zero paper tickets

Why Sipatra

Built like a field instrument, free for the whole group.

  • Trackers stop at the summit.

    Sipatra keeps going: the camp, the water source and soon the menu at the end of the trail live in the same app as the track.

  • Social feeds run on ads and your data.

    Sipatra runs on its own servers in the EU. Your routes and health metrics stay yours, with zero ad networks or data brokers.

  • Most apps assume you have signal.

    Sipatra assumes you don’t. It records to the phone first and syncs when you return, so a dead zone never costs you a track.

  • Sharing a route usually shares your home.

    Privacy Zones are cut out on our servers before anyone sees the route. What you mask never leaves the building.

FAQ

Questions about Sipatra

Does Sipatra work completely offline without cellular network or signal?

Yes. Sipatra is built offline-first on a local SQLite database with write-ahead logging. Every GPS track point, altitude step, and note writes to your phone immediately. You can record routes, read topographic vector maps, and browse verified camp spots with zero signal, syncing only when you are back online.

How does Sipatra optimize battery life during long GPS tracking sessions?

Sipatra targets under 6% battery consumption per hour during active recording. It uses sport-specific adaptive sensor sampling across five activity profiles rather than continuous brute-force GPS polling. Intelligent movement filtering prevents unnecessary processing while your phone sits in your pocket on multi-hour backcountry treks.

How do the monthly 30-person step leagues work?

Sipatra turns daily steps into a fair monthly league across seven tiers from Trail to Legend. Walkers compete in balanced 30-person divisions matched to their typical pace. Steps are verified via Apple Health and Health Connect hardware counters without running GPS or draining location battery.

How does Sipatra protect privacy around home and work addresses?

Sipatra enforces server-side Privacy Zones. When you configure your home, office, or sensitive locations, our servers automatically clip route geometry within a 500-meter to 2-kilometer radius before anything is published or shared. Your true start and finish coordinates are never displayed on public maps.

Is Sipatra free of ads, tracking pixels, and data brokers?

Yes. Sipatra operates with zero third-party advertising networks, zero commercial tracking pixels, and zero data sales. Backend services are self-hosted on European Union servers under strict GDPR and KVKK compliance, funded by transparent hospitality services rather than monetizing user movement data.

Which outdoor sports and activities does Sipatra support?

Sipatra supports 20 outdoor activities including hiking, trail running, road, gravel, and mountain cycling, rock climbing, ski touring, paragliding, kayaking, and camping. Every mountain route utilizes high-precision 30-meter DEM digital elevation models to eliminate weather-induced barometric altitude drift.

What is a Sipatra travel guide?

A travel guide is one traveller’s write-up of a real trip, from the first idea to getting back home. It covers visa and entry steps, transport legs with what they cost, day-by-day cities and places on a map, where they stayed, real costs by category in your own currency, tips and mistakes, and routes recorded in the app. The author can let Sipatra draft it from the trip the app already recorded, and a “verified by location records” badge appears when their own recordings confirm the trip.

Is the visa information in a travel guide official?

No. Visa and entry notes describe what one traveller went through with their own passport, and each note carries the month it happened. Every guide says so plainly: this is a traveller’s experience, not official advice, so verify with the official source before you book.

Can I use a travel guide offline abroad?

Yes. Copy a guide into your own trip plan and it stays on your phone, so you can open it abroad without a data plan.

Who can see my travel guide, and what does it reveal?

Guides are public by default, and you can switch one to followers only or to only you. A guide shows the month and year of the trip, never exact dates. Anything near your home or inside your Privacy Zones appears only at city level.
