SWCP Tracker

SWCP Tracker

A free Android logbook for ticking off the South West Coast Path, one section at a time.

I'm walking the Coast Path in stages and wanted a simple way to keep score, so I built this. You walk a section, you tick it off, and a green line creeps a little further around the peninsula.

Overview screen with a progress ring showing miles walked The list of 52 sections with tick boxes Map of the whole trail, walked stretches in green A section page with its own map, difficulty and notes
Progress, the 52 sections, the map, and a section page — a few weekends in.

What it does

  • All 52 official sectionsMinehead to South Haven Point, with distances and difficulty. Tick them off whole, or stretch-by-stretch between villages.
  • The whole trail on a mapWalked stretches are green, the rest is grey. It stays locked to the coast, so you can't wander off and end up looking at Birmingham. A button in the top bar snaps you back if you ever pan or zoom away. Tiles you've viewed keep working offline.
  • A journal per sectionKeep the date walked, notes and photos alongside each part of the path.
  • Backup and restoreExport a single backup file and restore it on any phone.

No account, no ads, no analytics. Everything stays on your phone unless you export it yourself. The privacy policy is short.

Getting it

It's nearly on Google Play — new developers have to run a closed test first. If you'd like to be an early tester and get the app now, email me and I'll send you the opt-in link. It's free either way.

Support

If the app is useful you can buy me a coffee — or better, support the South West Coast Path Association, who maintain the path itself.

Walking it in sections too? Help test the app before the Google Play listing goes public: email me to join the closed test.
