RunChasr has one feature: racing yourself. Start a run and RunChasr calls up a ghost, one of your past runs, replayed at the exact pace it happened, and races it against you in real time. Two silhouettes, one track. Pull ahead and it falls behind. Fade and it catches up. That's the exercise. THE GHOST ENGINE Every run you finish is automatically available to race next time. RunChasr suggests your most recent run by default, plus computed alternatives: your Personal Best, your Longest Distance, a Recovery Standard pace, or pin any past run as a standing opponent. LIVE, THE WHOLE WAY No glancing at a summary screen mid-run to find out how you're doing, the race is always on screen. A quiet haptic checks in at your own interval. A distinct alert, haptic, flash, and voice, fires the instant you take the lead or lose it. Turn on the spoken summary every 5 or 10 minutes for a hands-free status check. EVERY FINISH GETS A VERDICT A full tactical report at the end of every run: time, distance, and pace side by side with what your ghost did at the same point in the race. Tag the effort, log a note, share the result. APPLE WATCH COMPANION The race, live on your wrist a compact version of the same silhouette track, with its own takeover alert. (coming soon) YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS Runs are stored on your devices, not a server. Every completed run writes back to Apple Health automatically (if enabled). No accounts, no analytics, no ads. RunChasr is not a social network, not a coaching plan, not a leaderboard. It's you against you: am I ahead, or behind?

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: MDHearing at Free against RunChasr's $3.99. MDHearing also leads on ratings volume (1.8K vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 26.0). RunChasr's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.1) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
