YOUR ADVENTURES ARE YOURS
Your routes stay
on your iPhone.
GridQuest processes workout routes on your device and saves your collected grid there. Your workout data isn’t sent to a GridQuest server.
Apple Health access is read-only. You control the permissions, and GridQuest doesn’t write to your Health history.

A few
questions.
Everything you need to get
your next quest underway.
How does a square get collected?
A square counts when a saved workout’s GPS route visits or crosses it. Walks, runs and rides can all contribute, as long as their routes are available in Apple Health.
Do I need a Strava account?
GridQuest uses Apple Health. Connect a workout app or device that saves GPS workout routes to Health, then allow GridQuest to read them.
How big are the squares?
The squares follow a global map grid, so their ground size varies with latitude. They’re roughly 1.5 km across in London. The grid uses the same boundaries as the original Squadra app.
Do I have to sync after every workout?
Once connected, GridQuest checks for new routes when you open it and when new routes arrive while it’s running. You can also choose “Sync now” in the options menu. It adds new routes and retries any waiting ones.
“Check all Health history” is a recovery option that scans the route records again while skipping GPS already imported. Automatic syncing while the app is closed isn’t enabled.
Why are some workouts missing?
Some workouts save time and distance without a GPS route. Routes can also arrive later from another device. Check that your workout app saves routes to Apple Health and that GridQuest has permission to read both workouts and routes.
Apple keeps read-permission decisions private, so GridQuest can’t always distinguish unavailable routes from denied access.
What does “First collected” mean?
It’s the date of the earliest saved workout that visited that square. If an older workout route arrives later, the date updates to reflect that earlier visit.
What inspired GridQuest?
GridQuest is a modern clone of Squadra by Bert Temme, bringing its square-collecting adventure to Apple Health workouts. Visit the Squadra website .
Where can I download it?
GridQuest is currently in development for iPhone. An App Store link will appear here when it’s available.
