Auto Pause and Power Saving

Auto Pause: If you stay in one place for more than 15 minutes while recording, the app will automatically pause and notify you with vibration, a prompt sound, and a resume button in the center of the screen; it will automatically resume when you start moving. This can be disabled in 'Settings → Track Recording'.
Background Recording: Recording will continue even if you turn off the screen or switch apps; this requires location permission to be set to 'Always'.
Minimum Recording Distance: The minimum distance between two recording points (default 5 meters); the larger this value, the smaller the file size and the less detailed the track.
Dynamic Island and Lock Screen: Real-time status will be displayed while recording (this can be disabled in 'Settings → Live Activities').

Track Recording Settings — Settings → Track Recording.

Voice Announcements

After enabling 'Settings → Voice Announcements', the app will make voice announcements at intervals you set. By default, it announces every 1,000 meters or for every 100 meters of elevation gain or loss. You can also adjust the announcement volume and 'Test Sound Level'. The announcement volume is relative to the system volume.
