## What is Runtate?

Every runner in rotation knows the problem: too many pairs, not enough clarity on which one is nearing the end. Runtate turns your collection into a premium visual vault — and keeps the numbers straight so you always know how many miles are left before a pair should retire.

ADD A SHOE, THE RIGHT WAY
Photograph any shoe and Runtate automatically removes the background on-device, turning it into a clean, product-style shot on your personal pedestal display.

TRACK EVERY MILE
Log runs manually, or turn on Apple Health sync to import your workout distances automatically — just confirm which shoe you wore.

KNOW WHEN TO RETIRE
Each shoe shows a live tread-wear bar toward its retirement target, plus a running cost-per-mile calculation so you actually know what you're paying to run.

SEE THE WHOLE PICTURE
The Stats screen gives you a GitHub-style running heatmap, mileage trend charts by week/month/year, and filters across your whole rotation or a single pair.

MADE FOR YOUR COLLECTION
Two hand-tuned themes — Spotlight (dark) and Showroom (light) — and full mi/km support.

Subscribe to track your full rotation without limits.

Runtate is local-first: no account, no login, and your shoes, runs, and photos stay on your device.
