How would you compare Tiles to Bump (by amo)? If someone is already using Bump, what would be the main reason to switch to Tiles? Is it the local-first approach, Apple Health/workout imports, privacy, GPX/FIT/CSV support, or something else?
Also curious about monetization. Since the app is currently free, do you plan to keep it that way long term, or are you considering some kind of paid tier, subscription, donations, or other sustainability model in the future?
@andrasczeizel Good question. Looking at Bump, I wouldn't say Tiles is a replacement for it. Bump seems much more focused on real-time location, meetups, and social aspects. Tiles was built around building your map from data you've already collected over the years, rather than being an always-on app for collecting location in the background. I think of it more as a private archive for viewing and storing your past activities, routes, trips, and workouts in one place.
On monetization: the app is free to start with. There are paid features that unlock richer map modes, nicer visualizations, deeper metrics, and extra import paths. I offer those through a subscription, with a one-time purchase option as well.
I like the idea, especially because I love travelling and active lifestyle. What will be the price in the future?
@busmark_w_nika Thanks, I hope you give Tiles a try. For pricing, the app is freemium: you get the core experience for free, while the Pro tier adds more map modes, additional visualizations, deeper metrics, and extra import options. I offer Pro through a subscription, with a one-time purchase option as well.
Does it stay fully offline, and can you selectively share a milestone without revealing your home area?
@thamibenjelloun Tiles lets you create shareable cards for individual activities or aggregated metrics, So you can choose how much of your exploration history to share with your friends online.
Hi Product Hunt! 👋 I'm excited to share Tiles with you today.
I originally built Tiles to solve a personal problem: I had years of hiking trails and trips recorded on my Apple Watch, and wanted a way to see all of it in one place. Once I built my demo, I realized I kept visiting the same places over and over. Tiles became an easy way to see nearby areas that I'd never explored before. It pushed me to break out of my routine and explore new places.
As I shared early versions, almost everyone asked for the same thing: "How do I add friends?", "where can I see other people Score?" I wrestled with this for a while. I always imagined Tiles as offline and local first, but everyone I showed it to wanted some kind of social feature.
I did not want to build another fitness social network, so I tried to keep the fun parts of sharing without turning the app into a feed. Tiles has shareable cards for scores, milestones, and year-in-review style stats, without needing to upload your full route history anywhere. Does that feel like the right tradeoff, have you had to make similar decisions between privacy and social features?
For the Product Hunt launch, I set up an early explorer offer: 3 months free of Tiles Pro.
I’d love to hear your feedback or questions. How would you use Tiles: as a memory map for old routes, a way to find new places to explore, or something else entirely?
The “spot the gaps you haven’t explored yet” idea is a nice motivator. It makes movement feel more like discovering your own map, without turning route history into another social feed.
@farrukh_butt1 That’s exactly what made the idea click for me. Once I could see everything on a map, it became a big motivator for filling in every missing tile. I found myself exploring new streets, parks, and neighborhoods I had been passing by for years.
hah, that's cute, like playing a game or uncovering a HOMM3 map
@bartlomiejpierzchaa Thanks, that’s what I was going for. I wanted Tiles to feel fun and create a little extra incentive to explore new places and fill in your map.
