## What is Lapwing Run?

Run two minutes. Walk one. Repeat.

Run/walk is how most people get back to running without getting hurt. The hard part is remembering to switch. Lapwing does the remembering: set two dials, put the phone in your pocket, and go. A chime and a buzz tell you when to run and when to ease off, so you never have to look at the screen.

Two ways to run

Intervals. You pick the run length and the walk length, and the clock flips between them until you stop.

Free. No timer. Run until you want a break, tap Walk, and tap Run when you are ready again.

A map that shows the walking too

Your route is drawn in two colours: brass for the stretches you ran, steel for the stretches you walked. Distance and pace come along with it. After a few weeks, the brass starts taking over.

Split by interval, not by kilometre

Everyone else splits your run per kilometre, which tells you nothing when you are stopping to walk every two minutes. Lapwing logs each run and each walk as its own line with its own distance and pace, so you can scrub back through the whole thing.

Nobody is watching

There is no account and nothing to sign up for. No feed, no followers, no kudos, no leaderboard. Your runs are stored on your iPhone. There is no Lapwing server.

What is free

The timer is free forever, with no trial and no ads: both modes, the route map, distance and pace, interval splits on every run, your three most recent runs, and week and month totals.

What the unlock adds

Lapwing Unlimited is one optional in-app purchase, $4.99 paid once, not a subscription. It opens your full run history, the six month and year totals, and sync through your own private iCloud. On the free tier older runs are hidden, never deleted, so they are all still there if you buy it later.

Location is used only to draw your route and work out distance and pace. Deny it and the timer, the chimes and your run and walk times all still work, which is how a treadmill run works.

iPhone only, portrait only. Requires iOS 26.
