Find your way back without signal.
Yoruk is an offline map and route recorder for the outdoors. Download a region once, then hike, hunt or explore with no connection at all.
Three steps before you lose signal
You need a connection only once, at home. Everything after that runs on your device.
Download a region
Pick a country or region while you still have Wi-Fi. Roads, tracks, rivers, peaks and elevation are saved to your phone.
Record as you go
Tap Record and put the phone in your pocket. The route keeps recording with the screen locked, all day.
Follow it back
Load the route and Yoruk points you back along it, showing the distance to the nearest point of your path.
What it does
Everything runs on your device. Once a map region is downloaded, the app never needs a connection again.
Offline maps
Download countries and regions in advance. Roads, tracks, rivers, peaks and place names, all stored on your phone.
Route recording
Record where you walked. Recording continues while your phone is locked and survives an app restart, so a long day is never lost.
Find your way back
Load a saved route and the app points you back to it, with the distance to the nearest point along the way.
Drop a pin
Press and hold anywhere on the map to mark your car, your camp or a meeting point, and keep its distance and bearing in view.
Terrain and hillshade
See the shape of the land before you get there, using elevation data stored offline alongside the map.
GPX in and out
Export any route as a GPX file to share or archive it, and import routes from other apps and websites.

Already had the app? Pro is free for you.
If you first installed Yoruk before version 2.0, every Pro feature is yours for life at no cost. It is recognised automatically through your Apple Account, so reinstalling the app or moving to a new iPhone keeps it. You will see “Pro · Early user” under About in the app.
Download the map before you need it.
Free to start. Works in the places your carrier does not.

Common questions
How do I download a map?
Pull up the bottom panel, tap Maps, then pick a country or region. Downloads continue in the background and resume if the connection drops. You need a connection only for this step.
Does recording work with the screen off?
Yes. Start recording with the Record button and you can lock your phone and put it in your pocket. iOS shows a blue indicator while the app is using your location in the background. Recording stops only when you tap Stop.
I closed the app while recording. Is my route lost?
No. Every point is written to the device as it is recorded. The next time you open the app it offers to continue, save or discard the unfinished recording.
I paid for Pro but the app shows Free.
Open About in the bottom panel and tap Restore purchases, making sure you are signed in with the Apple Account you used to buy. If it still does not appear, write to support with the date of purchase.
I had the app before, why am I not marked as an early user?
The check needs to reach Apple once. Make sure you are online, then reopen the app. If it still shows Free, write to support and it can be sorted out.
How do I free up storage?
Offline maps are the largest files. In Maps, swipe left on any downloaded region to delete it. Your recorded routes are tiny and are not affected.
How do I delete my data?
Everything the app stores lives on your device. Deleting a route removes it, and deleting the app removes all routes and downloaded maps. There is nothing stored on a server to delete.
How do I cancel the subscription?
Open the iPhone Settings app, tap your name, then Subscriptions, and cancel Yoruk Pro there. You keep Pro until the end of the period you already paid for. The lifetime purchase is one-time and nothing to cancel.
Privacy Policy
Last updated: 20 September 2026
Short version: Yoruk does not collect your data. There is no account, no sign-up and no analytics. Your location, your recorded routes and your downloaded maps stay on your device.
Location
The app asks for permission to use your location so it can show where you are on the map and record a route when you ask it to. Location is used on the device only, to draw your position and to save a route you started. It is never sent anywhere, and no location data leaves your iPhone unless you choose to export a route yourself and share it, for example by email.
Background location is used only while a recording is running. Recording is started by you with the Record button and stops when you tap Stop.
Routes and files
Recorded routes, imported GPX files and downloaded map regions are stored in the app’s own storage on your device. They are not backed up to any service run by us. You can delete a single route inside the app, delete a downloaded map region, or delete the app to remove everything.
Map downloads
When you download a map region, the app requests a file from a server operated by the developer and hosted on Cloudflare. As with any request on the internet, the hosting provider processes technical information such as your IP address, the time of the request and which file was requested, in order to deliver the file and protect the service from abuse. This information is not linked to any account, is not combined with your location or routes, and is not used to profile you.
Purchases
Purchases of Yoruk Pro are processed by Apple. We never see your payment details. The app asks Apple whether the current Apple Account holds a valid purchase, and whether the app was first downloaded before version 2.0, so that early users keep Pro for free. The answer is a signed receipt from Apple that stays on your device. Apple’s handling of purchase data is covered by Apple’s own privacy policy.
Analytics and tracking
The app contains no analytics, no advertising and no third-party tracking SDKs. Nothing you do in the app is monitored. Apple may provide the developer with anonymous, aggregated statistics such as download and crash counts, which cannot identify you and which you can switch off in iPhone Settings under Privacy & Security → Analytics & Improvements.
Children
Yoruk is a general-purpose outdoor app and is not directed at children. It knowingly collects no personal information from anyone, including children.
Your rights
Because no personal data is collected or stored on any server we operate, there is no personal data held about you to access, correct, export or erase. All data created by the app is under your control on your own device. If you have a question about this, including any request under the GDPR or Turkey’s KVKK, write to ardagermiyanoglu@outlook.com.
Changes
If this policy changes, the updated version will be published on this page with a new date above. Material changes will also be noted in the release notes of the app.

Purchase terms
Yoruk Pro is offered as an auto-renewing yearly subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. A subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of that period. Subscriptions can be managed and cancelled in your Apple Account settings. The lifetime option is a single purchase and does not renew.
Purchases are made through the App Store and are subject to Apple’s standard licence terms: Apple Standard End User License Agreement. Refunds are handled by Apple through reportaproblem.apple.com.
