Source to Sea: The Nile

A virtual expedition, powered by real strokes

Row the length of the
longest river on Earth

This isn't another fitness tracker. It's one monumental journey: every real rowing and paddling workout moves your boat down the actual Nile — 5,500 km from Lake Victoria to the Mediterranean Sea.

iPhone only. Requires iOS 18 or later.

Fitness apps count your workouts.
This one takes you somewhere.

One river, one boat, one destination. No streaks to guilt you, no rings to close — just the slow, honest accumulation of distance down a river people have travelled for five thousand years. Miss a week? The Nile waits.

Your effort is the engine

Real distance from real workouts — indoors on the erg or out on the water — mapped onto the actual Nile.

An expedition, not a step counter

The Nile is 5,500 km. At a few sessions a week, it's years of real endurance — every stroke visible on the map.

5,500 km

Source to sea

From the river's source at Lake Victoria all the way to the Mediterranean — the full length of the Nile, powered entirely by you.

44

Real landmarks

Cross Murchison Falls, the Sudd, Khartoum, Abu Simbel, Luxor, the Pyramids and more — each with its own history to unlock as you arrive.

140+

Awards to earn

Distance milestones, streaks, perfect weeks and months, pace, and hidden achievements — tracked from a clean dashboard, not an endless scroll.

Global leaderboard

Compete by distance, weekly or all-time. Filter by sport, or switch to the Verified board to rank only against Apple Health–synced workouts. Entirely opt-in.

Your data, your control

Health access is read-only

The app reads rowing and paddle-sport workouts only. It never writes to Apple Health.

The leaderboard is opt-in

Off by default. It only ever shares your chosen name, country, and total distance — never your workouts.

Delete anytime

Reset your progress or permanently delete your account and all data, right in the app. Health data is never used for advertising.

The river is waiting.
