About
spot·ter — the person who's got you if it goes wrong.
Everyone who lifts heavy in the gym has one. Now everyone who heads out the door alone has one too.
Start your activity and the people who love you watch the whole thing live: your real-time route, your expected return time, your battery, your last known spot. They open one link in a text. They install nothing, make no account, and never pay a cent. Not just a dot on a map.
RunSpotter is live location and safety for runners, walkers, hikers, cyclists, and anyone who goes out alone.
NEVER RUN UNWATCHED
Early-morning miles. Dark evening loops. Long trail days with no one around. Your people see when you start, that you're still moving, and the moment you're safely home. You stop sending "made it" texts. They stop staring at the phone.
ALERTS THAT FIRE ON THEIR OWN
If you can't get to your phone, RunSpotter speaks for you. Switch on the ones you want:
- Fall detected — impact plus stillness sets off an alarm. Don't answer within 3 minutes and your spotters are told where you are.
- Overdue — they're told when you're late. You never have to remember to text.
- Signal lost — they see your last known spot and what time it was. Silence becomes information, not panic.
- Low battery — they're warned before your phone dies, not after.
- Stopped too long — a stop that lasts turns into a message.
- Off route — upload a GPX route and your spotters see it on their map, and hear about it if you drift about a kilometer off.
HURT AND CAN'T WALK? RESCUE MODE.
Hold SOS to share your exact location with your spotters and reach emergency services fast. Rescue mode then gives you your own coordinates to read out loud, and the fastest walking route to the nearest road a vehicle can actually reach. Saved a spotter's number? One tap texts them your location from your own phone — the path that still works when data doesn't. On their side: one tap to drive to you, or hike to you.
NO SERVICE, NO PROBLEM
Your track keeps recording with no signal at all and uploads the moment you're back in range. Start an activity in a dead zone and it still starts, instantly.
ONE SPOTTER, EVERY ACTIVITY
Run, ride, hike, walk. Pause an activity and pick it up hours or days later — one track, one summary. Forget to hit stop and RunSpotter nudges you instead of draining your battery and worrying your family.
INDEPENDENCE FOR YOU. CALM FOR THEM.
Keep doing what you love without carrying everyone's worry. Your mom, partner, sister or running friend gets peace of mind — without nagging you, and without an app to learn.
BUILT BY SOMEONE WHO RUNS ALONE FOR A LIVING
I broke my ankle near the top of a mountain at my first race as a pro, and for a while nobody knew where I was. I built RunSpotter so that stops happening — then kept using it on my own record attempts. 6x world-record ultrarunner.
