Hiking
Show the climb, not just the view
Summit footage rarely shows how hard the trail was. Data Overlay turns the GPS track from your watch or phone into an elevation profile with a dot that moves along it, plus elevation, gain, distance, grade, pace and heart rate.
Free trial, then from $19.99 a month, $79.99 a year or $129.99 once. See pricing

This is the real app running in your browser on a sample hike. Turn gauges on and off, drag them around, change units and colours, and scrub through it. Opening your own files and exporting happen in the desktop app.

Combine files
Use more than one file at once, for example the GPS track from your phone and heart rate from your watch. Each gauge uses the best file that has its data, and each file gets its own clock offset.
Built for the edit
Made to drop straight into your timeline
- ProRes 4444 · PNG MOV · PNG sequence
Transparent, frame-exact exports
ProRes 4444 with alpha on a Mac, or lossless PNG on either platform. Export at your sequence’s frame rate and the overlay has exactly as many frames as your clip.
- ±0.1 s
Sync to the frame
Nudge each file’s clock in tenths of a second until the gauges match the picture. Files recorded on a local clock are lined up with UTC files for you.
- Best source for each gauge
Combine files
Take GPS from one device and heart rate or power from another. Each gauge uses the best file that has its data, with a clock offset for each file.
- Row · Stacked · Panel · Custom
Arrange it your way
Drag gauges anywhere with snapping guides, size each one, pick colours and units, and undo any change. The export frame fits your arrangement.
- Every CPU core
Fast, even for long days
Exports use every core, so an hour of footage renders in minutes. On Macs with a ProRes engine, encoding runs in hardware.
- Local processing
Your files stay on your computer
Logs and videos are read and rendered on your own machine. Nothing is uploaded.
