Tracker vs Runner's Shadow

Record every run, ride, hike and ski tour with precise GPS — on iPhone and Apple Watch. No account, no subscription. Tracker is built for athletes who want to decide for themselves where their data lives. Your tracks are kept as files on your own device. There is no Tracker account and no server storing your activities. Want to send a workout to Strava, or keep it in Apple Health? That happens only after you tap. WHY TRACKER • No subscription — Pro is a single purchase • No account, nothing to sign in to • Your tracks stay on your own device • Works on iPhone and Apple Watch • Available in English, Dutch, German, French and Spanish RECORD EVERY WORKOUT Capture distance, pace, time, elevation and your full route. Pick your sport on the redesigned start screen — running, walking, cycling, skiing, swimming, rowing or something else — and head outside. While recording you can zoom in, explore the map and return to your own location with one tap. Your music keeps playing while Tracker keeps recording in the background. PHOTOS ALONG YOUR ROUTE Take photos from inside the app while you are out. Each one is pinned to the spot where you stood and shows up as a marker on your map afterwards. So you see not only how fast you went, but where you were. TRAIN SMARTER WITH PRO • Build interval workouts and get spoken cues along the way • See how long you spent in each of the five heart-rate zones, and set your maximum heart rate • Compare activities and discover your best efforts with Personal Records • Transfer recordings from your Apple Watch to your iPhone • Back up to your own iCloud and restore onto a new device YOUR PROGRESS, BEYOND THE APP Follow your iPhone recording on the Lock Screen and in Dynamic Island. Put your latest activity on your Home Screen as a widget, start a recording with Siri and Shortcuts, or find a saved track with Spotlight. Pro adds widgets for weekly progress and personal records, and lets you start saved workout plans with your voice. MADE FOR APPLE WATCH Start, pause and stop straight from your wrist. Your Apple Watch records on its own, even with no iPhone nearby. The controls are large and clear, and a confirmation always appears before a recording stops — so you never end one by accident. WORKS WITH APPLE HEALTH Your sessions are written to Apple Health as workouts, with distance, active energy and your route. Your rings and your activity history stay accurate without you doing anything twice. A LITTLE ENCOURAGEMENT Choose a weekly summary, a reminder when you have not recorded for a while, or a nudge while your streak is alive. With Pro you also hear about every new personal record. All notifications are off by default — you switch on what you want. SHARE WHEN YOU CHOOSE Upload an activity to Strava with Pro, from the app or through Shortcuts. You decide which ride or run you share, and when. PRO IS A ONE-TIME PURCHASE No subscription, no monthly fee. Already own Pro? Every new Pro feature in this version is included, with nothing more to pay. Simple. Private. Made for the outdoors. Pick your sport and record your next session with Tracker. Requires iOS 26 or later. The Apple Watch app requires watchOS 26 or later.

Follow your runs like your shadow follows you. What Is Runner's Shadow? A runner's companion. A fantastic app for all outdoor runners to augment their kit. Runner's Shadow is an iOS Activity and Health-based app for the purpose of augmenting, tracking, logging, and understanding your outdoor runs, regardless of source; regardless of when the run took place. And it includes an Apple Watch app to get out and run with. Why Try Runner's Shadow? Run History A history of all of your runs, from any supported App. The run history is all your runs, grouped by week, month, year, and all-time. It has graphs, logs, journals, and more (like courses). Courses Which routes you've run. Do you tend to run the same routes repeatedly? Why not keep track of those as courses? This app keeps track of all of your courses; and your personal records for each course. Personal Records What's my personal best? Accurate and complete PRs. What is the best I've done so far at this distance? This course? This week? This month?. Runner's Shadow PR keeps my goals in perspective and my motivation on-point. This app finds and keeps your bests. Laps Keep and Recall interval laps. With a tap of a button in the Shadow Runner's watch app (included), you can set your laps. In the iPhone app, you can see how you did for them. What was the lap distance? Pace? Gain? It's all there. Journaling What are my thoughts after a run? How was the run? What do I find interesting about this course? Who did I run with? What did we laugh about? The journals are for these and/or anything else you want to write there. Labeling Tag runs for later retrieval. Label the people you ran with. Or label which runs were races. Or label which runs were your favorites. Tag runs with labels any way you'd like. Shoe Tracking Keep track of your running shoes. You may have heard that running shoes should be replaced between 300-500 miles or in 3-6 months. But how do you keep track of that? Simply add your shoes to the app, then tap on which ones were worn after a run. We'll keep track of how many run, miles, and days you've put on the pair. Photos Find photos taken near the time of your run. Want to find those shots you get before and after a run a year and a half later? Well, you just go to that run and click the 'camera' button, and there they all are. Graphs? Yes. Numbers? Of course. Maps? You bet. Running app for your Apple Watch? Yeah, that too. Watch Laps? Uh huh. Open to suggestions? We listen. What you'd expect? We try to be more than that. You can run with this or any other app that supports Apple Activity; we'll take it from there. ---- The data comes from Apple Health/Activity. That means that any outdoor running app that works with Apple Health/Activity will work with this one. The data goes nowhere. We don't take it. We don't keep it. We don't track it. We don't track you. We're not interested in all of that. We're just runners who want to enhance all of our running experiences. Contact us: support@alumra.ltd
