There are a lot of running apps out there, but they all have something in common: they are either full of ads, are highly expensive or simply are and look very outdated. Out-Run tries to solve this with a clean and modern look and being 100% free. In addition to that Out-Run is also one of the few running apps that do not require you to create an account, all information is stored locally and thereby protected from any data leaks or privacy scandals. And if you think: "Where is the catch?" - there is none, you can even have a look at the source code and confirm everything being said here, because Out-Run is fully open-source (source-code: https://github.com/timfraedrich/OutRun ). # MAJOR FEATURES - Keep full control over your data - Record your outdoor workouts (Running, Walking, Hiking, Cycling and Skating) - View detailed statistics - Export your workouts as GPX or OutRun-Backup (.orbup) - Fully customise the recording process - Synchronise with Apple Health I hope you love Out-Run just as much as I loved making it and if you find anything I should improve upon, please let me know.

I have a 9K with a 0:40 pace because it thought most of my time running was a pause… fix it please!!! ### 5/5 — simple, easy to use, and privacy respecting! *2026-04-20, version 1.3* a breathe of fresh air amidst the apps that demand to know everything about you just to show you simple operations like a map. ### 5/5 — Most privacy friendly running app *2026-04-01, version 1.3* Best option I have found for those that feel no need to share their running routes and other information with the world ### 5/5 — Excellent! *2025-10-22, version 1.3* Great work on the app! I use it all the time and appreciate its oss nature. ### 5/5 — Great *2025-10-04, version 1.3* Finally, an open source run tracker app that does what you want it to without any gimicks ### 5/5 — Perfect *2025-04-09, version 1.3* Definitely one of my top five favorite apps. It does what it’s supposed to do so well. With a great interface, no ads, zero privacy concerns. ### 5/5 — Everything you need, nothing you don’t *2025-03-29, version 1.3* Just opened the OutRun app for the first time in a while today and I was reminded why I kept it on my phone without deleting it all this time. The UI is clean, elegant and focused and recording workouts (this app can record more than just runs) is easy. The app also has no bloat, making it run quickly, even on my aging iPhone 11. Another note: the app download size is really small which just shows how unbloated the app really is. Awesome app! ### 5/5 — The best *2025-02-23, version 1.3* Edit: Turns out that my brand-new 3rd generation SE has a case of “ghost touch”, which was the cause of the flaky behaviour. This beautiful app had everything that I was looking for and nothing that I didn’t need. I used it daily for years. But, presumably due to updates to iOS, it has been acting up lately. That is real shame… ### 3/5 — Was the best of the best, but has become flaky *2025-02-11* This beautiful app had everything that I was looking for and nothing that I didn’t need. I used it daily for years. But, presumably due to updates to iOS, it has been acting up lately. That is real shame… ### 5/5 — Stunning! *2024-11-21* I rarely write review, however this app obviously deserve one. Beautiful design, very straightforward, it displays the map during the run (extra useful if lost) and every insights after saving. As a developper myself, I appreciate the Apple design language being respected, the compatibility (export backup and GPX trace) and the fact that it is open source is the cherry on the cake. Compliments to the author, I’ll continue to test it and will be reaching out to help if I can! ## Frequently asked questions about Out ### What does Out-Run do?

Other than that not much has changed in this version: - There is a new contributor tab in settings, listing all the people who have considerably added to OutRun - and the source-code button was moved from 'Support' to 'App-Info' And that is that. If you have any questions or feedback, feel free to reach out at outrun@tadris.de. Tim, the Developer. ### 1.2.2 — 2020-10-10 After receiving a trademark complaint "OutRun" will now be called "Out-Run" in the UK. This update has the main purpose of addressing this complaint. Additionally it contains the following bug fixes: - sometimes data was not added properly to Apple Health, this should now be fixed - ascending and descending altitude were swapped in the statistics, now they are in the right order - there have been some style issues because of changes in iOS 14, everything should look normally again And for this update nothing more changed. If you have any questions or feedback, feel free to reach out at outrun@tadris.de. Tim, the Developer. ### 1.2.1 — 2020-08-18 This release only contains a few critical bug fixes, which needed to be fixed fast. Specifically I am talking about: - way too long waiting times when wanting to record a workout due to a rounding error in the apps logic - app crashes because of inconsistencies in the data - map views having the wrong appearance - an alert talking about there being an error in the logic supposed to record the workouts, even though that logic worked just fine And that is it when it comes to changes in this version. If you have any questions or feedback, feel free to reach out at outrun@tadris.de. Tim, the developer. ### 1.2 — 2020-08-09 It has been way too long since the last release, many of you have reached out and even asked if the project will still be continued, and I'm glad to be able to share some very exciting news regarding that. OutRun was never a project for profit, I always just wanted a simple fitness tracker that just does its job and does not need me to hand over all my data to some random company. That is why I decided to make OutRun not only free, but also open-source from this day on. Thank you all so much for your support, I really could not have done it without you and I hope now that the app is free you will be able to recommend it to even more people. But now let's get into what changed in this update: - You can now finally pause a workout if you want to take a break and in addition to that the app will also automatically pause if it detects that you are not moving. This was a pretty highly requested feature, so I hope you will enjoy it. - When finishing a workout you will now get the ability to continue it through a neat little dialog, which will also enable you to discard or save the workout (the latter happening automatically after a certain time). - There is a share feature now, which you can use to share individual workouts as OutRun-Backups or GPX-file. - Starting a workout is now faster, because you will not be asked what kind of workout you want to record anymore. To get the old dialog you can still long-press the plus button on the main screen, but you can also just tap the type on the recording screen and even change it after you started the workout. The default type of workout to record can be set in settings. - Two more workout types were added: OutRun now also supports hiking and skating - When editing non-essential information like a comment for a workout there now will not be a dialog that it could be fake anymore, this was due to the mechanism behind workout editing and is not fixed one last thing: - I hope I finally got to fix the crashing issue a number of people were having, at least sort of. The crashes were due to the map on the recording screen drawing too much performance. People affected by this problem can now just turn the map off in settings to prevent those crashes until a permanent solution is found.

Tim, the developer. ### 1.1.2 — 2020-04-29 After more than two weeks of frustration I'm glad I can finally present the fix for these annoying crashes some of you have been experiencing. This updates contains lots of changes under the hood, not really worth getting into, the important thing to know is that your workouts should record more reliably now. Due to the extensive testing and trying to find a solution I had to push the new features aside for a while, but I will get back to them now. If you have any questions or feedback, feel free to reach out at outrun@tadris.de.
