Features
- Real-time altitude at a glance — Two independent sources (GPS + barometric), displayed in large, bright-green digits on a pure-black background. Readable from a phone mount while driving.
- Save places instantly — even while driving — Tap the floating Save button from any screen, or just say "Save Location" with Siri. Names and addresses fill in automatically via reverse geocoding.

support@altisenda.comFrequently asked questions
Does Altisenda need an internet connection?
Core features — altitude display, POI saving, and track recording — work fully offline. Map tiles and reverse geocoding (auto address lookup) require an internet connection.
How does hands-free saving with Siri work?
Altisenda registers a Siri phrase out of the box: just say "Hey Siri, Save Location in Altisenda" and a pin is dropped at your current coordinates. You can rename or add notes later.
Prefer to skip the app name? Install the free "Save Location" Shortcut (also available from Settings → Siri inside the app). Once added, just say "Hey Siri, Save Location."
Can I export my tracks?
Yes. Every recorded track can be exported as a standard GPX file, compatible with Strava, Garmin Connect, Komoot, Google Earth, and virtually every mapping app.
Does Altisenda collect my data?
No. Altisenda does not use accounts, does not send location data anywhere, and does not include analytics or ads. Your places and tracks stay on your device.
Which units are supported?
Metric (meters, kilometers) and imperial (feet, miles). You can switch anytime in Settings.
Privacy
Altisenda is designed to be private by default:
- No user accounts or sign-ups.
- No analytics, tracking, or third-party SDKs.
- Your saved places and recorded tracks live on your device.
- Reverse geocoding requests use Apple's built-in service and are not linked to you.
