Generate a running route from wherever you are standing. Pick a distance, press one button, and get a loop that brings you back to where you started. No more running the same street every time. No more drawing a route by hand on a map. GENERATE A ROUTE - Choose any distance and get a loop back to your start - Start from where you are, or drop a pin anywhere on the map - Go by distance, or by how long you want to be out - Set a walking pace or a running pace - Save the routes you like and keep them on any device - Draw your own route by hand whenever you prefer RUN IT FROM YOUR WRIST Your route and your intervals both run on your Apple Watch, so the phone can stay home. A buzz on your wrist tells you when to switch between running and walking, so you never have to look at a screen. FOLLOW THE LINE The map is the run. Your route draws itself as you go, with the block you are in and the time left above it. Glance at your lock screen and you see the same thing, so the phone goes straight back in your pocket. Running indoors with no signal? The countdown takes the whole screen instead. FINISH WHERE YOU STARTED At the end you see the loop you just ran, drawn out, with your distance, time, pace and cycles under it. All in your own units. RUN WALK INTERVALS - Build run and walk segments from 10 seconds to 10 minutes - Add a warmup and a cooldown - Finish by number of rounds, or by total time - Save your favorite sessions and start them in one tap - Follow a 9 week plan, from your first minute of running to 28 minutes nonstop FROM NOTHING TO 5K Never run before? Follow the 9 week plan: three short sessions a week, twenty seven runs in total. Week one is mostly walking with short bursts of running, and anyone can start there. By week nine you run 5K without stopping. The first two weeks are free, so you can find out whether it sticks before paying anything. TRACK EVERYTHING Heart rate, distance and calories flow into Apple Health, so every session counts as a real workout on your devices. Your streak, your history and your totals live in the app, and your saved routes sync so they are still there on a new phone. WHO IT IS FOR - Runners bored of the same street who want somewhere new to go - Beginners starting from zero who want a plan, not a blank timer - Anyone easing back after injury or a long break - Walkers who want a loop of a set length from their own door - Travellers who want a run somewhere they do not know - Anyone who would rather leave the phone at home WHY A LOOP An out and back is dull and a one way route leaves you stranded. RunLoop builds a proper loop that returns to where you started, sized to the distance you asked for, so you finish at your door instead of two blocks past it. FREE AND PRO The interval timer is free forever, and generating routes stays free until your first run, so the app has to get you out the door before it asks for anything. After that you get two routes a week. Pro unlocks unlimited routes and unlimited saved workouts, monthly, yearly, or as a one time lifetime unlock. No adverts anywhere, ever. No account needed. Open it and go.

A route that doubles back over itself is never quietly delivered anymore. When your start point offers nothing rounder, RunLoop shows you what it found, says honestly that part of it goes out and back, and lets you decide: use it, or try again. Your doorstep learns. RunLoop now remembers, on your device only, which direction gave you a clean loop from each starting place. The next route from the same door starts there, so repeat generations land right almost instantly. Your pace, on your screen. Live pace joined time and distance on the run screen, for interval runs and free runs alike, both screens now sharing one clean layout. Standing at a crossing reads as no pace, never as a wild number. The map is yours when you grab it. Zoom out to read the route ahead and the map now stays where you put it; one tap on the arrow brings it back to following you. ### 2.4.0 — 2026-08-18 Routes are now the heart of the app. Pick a distance, press one button, and get a running loop that ends where it started. Also in this update: the app now asks how you are getting on after a few runs, so you can leave a rating without hunting for the App Store. ### 2.3.0 — 2026-08-14 RunLoop now speaks Dutch, and the route generator gives up far less easily. New in this version: - The whole app is available in Dutch, including the spoken guidance during your run - The route generator keeps looking when the first attempts come up short, so a 5 km loop succeeds more often - If no loop matches your exact distance, RunLoop now offers the closest one it found instead of just an error - When something does go wrong, you get a clear message with a way forward, not a dead-end alert - Distances and times now follow your language, so 4,2 km reads the way you write it - New routes start on Run instead of Walk Plus fewer wasted attempts: a route that was already found is never thrown away. ### 2.2.0 — 2026-08-12 Routes are now the heart of the app. Pick a distance, press one button, and get a running loop that ends where it started. New in this version: - Run routes straight from your phone: live map, spoken directions at every turn, and a heads-up if you drift off route. A watch is now optional everywhere - Mute the voice cues whenever you like; the buzz at every switch stays - Home screen widget: a fresh route in one tap, before the app is even open - Two free routes every week, instead of a supply that runs out for good - Runs recorded in Apple Health now count toward your stats and streak - Tap any day on the activity calendar to see the runs behind it - Share a run or a freshly generated route as a clean picture card - Your watch now records the actual path you ran - Optional weekly reminder to keep your streak alive Plus a calmer, clearer design across the whole app. ### 2.1.2 — 2026-08-11 Small polish and reliability improvements for route generation. ## Apps similar to RunLoop | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Running Interval Timer Tracker](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/running-interval-timer-tracker/id6469014860) | 4.5 (18) | Free | Health & Fitness | | [Interval Timer: Run & HIIT](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/interval-timer-run-and-hiit/id956283665) | 4.5 (524) | Free | Health & Fitness | | [Intervals Pro: HIIT Timer](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/intervals-pro-hiit-timer/id957586938) | 4.8 (13,511) | Free | Health & Fitness | | [Jeff Galloway Run Walk Run](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/jeff-galloway-run-walk-run/id1640776734) | 3.7 (198) | Free | Health & Fitness | | [Run/Walk Interval Training](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/runwalk-interval-training/id6758255233) | 5.0 (1) | Free | Health & Fitness | | [RUN interval - Running Timer](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/run-interval-running-timer/id1352270752) | 4.7 (1,003) | Free | Health & Fitness | ## More apps by Tom van den Bogaart - [De Magische Spons](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/de-magische-spons/id6741419085) - [Mockshot](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/mockshot/id6743320978) - [Noisr](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/noisr/id6751837554) - [Squain](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/squain/id6782807375) All apps by Tom van den Bogaart: https://appshunter.io/developer/1794085355 ## Related topics [interval run timer](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/interval-run-timer) · [run walk run timer](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/run-walk-run-timer) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
