About
KOVA — Run Simple
In a world filled with AI coaches and AI analytics, we chose different.
Just run simple — native Apple Watch run tracking with the elite-grade metrics serious runners actually use. One flat price. No tiers, no upsells, no AI coach telling you how to feel.
Your watch tracks the run. Your phone stays home.
——
Native on Apple Watch. Native on iPhone. Nothing else.
KOVA is built for the runner who wants their phone in a drawer during the run. Apple Watch tracks the full session on its own — GPS, heart rate, cadence, elevation, splits, pace. Wrist-drop sleep mode keeps the run going while the screen rests. The summary syncs to your iPhone the next time both devices are in range, and to kova-run.app on the web for review.
Numbers serious runners use.
— Pace updates on a 15-second rolling window — so the number on your wrist tracks the run, not the GPS jitter.
— Barometric elevation, accurate to within 5 metres on a flat track.
— Cadence read from CMPedometer — Apple's own step counter, not a derived estimate.
— Auto-splits at every kilometre or mile. Set-distance and set-time goal modes. Audio cues every split.
— Personal Bests at 1K, 5K, 10K and Half Marathon — free forever.
— Grade-adjusted pace, polarised zone time, HR drift, and ACWR training load — Pro.
One price. No tiers.
$9.99 / month. $49.99 / year. 7-day free trial on the annual plan. No "Plus" tier waiting six months in. No bundles. Personal Bests stay free forever, with or without Pro. Decide once. Run.

What's in the Watch app.
Three pages on your wrist. Page 1 — pace, distance, time, heart rate. Page 2 — cadence, splits, goal progress. Page 3 — pause, end. That's the whole interface. Numerals are big enough to read mid-stride. A single complication shows distance today on your watch face. The watch is the run.
What's on the web.
Every completed run shows up at kova-run.app — distance, time, pace, heart rate, cadence, elevation, route, splits, calories, GAP, HR drift, training load. Walks too. Personal Bests. Sign in with the same account you use on iPhone.
