Short description
Rootka is a free mobile app to create, share and run GPS courses with checkpoints. Drop control points on a map, share with a 6-character code, and challenge friends on the leaderboard.
Long description
Rootka turns any place into a geolocated playground. Unlike navigation apps that just hand you a route, Rootka makes the course playable and competitive: you draw a track, drop checkpoints validated automatically (GPS, QR code, photo or riddle), share with a 6-character code, and compare performances on a real-time leaderboard. Five game modes (sequential, free order, score, star, backyard), full gamification (XP, levels, badges, streaks) and tools to run outdoor events (live tracking, volunteers, registration, results export) make it a tool both for playing with friends and for organizing a real race.
