A cozy, gamified run tracker. Turn every run into a plant. Stay consistent with a garden that grows as you do. If you want running to feel rewarding (and a little bit magical), plant a seed with every workout. As your runs add up, your personal garden blossoms: flowers, trees, succulents and more. So your progress is something you can see. Run without pressure. Grow with purpose. Open RunGarden, start a run, and plant a seed. Finish your workout and that seed becomes a new species in your garden. Keep your streak and rare plants appear. Miss a day? No guilt, your garden will be waiting when you’re ready. STAY MOTIVATED • Each run = a plant — watch your garden fill up with flowers, trees, and other species • Streaks & milestones — unlock special seeds and evolutions as you stay consistent • Gentle goals — daily/weekly targets that nudge (not nag) • Cozy feedback — satisfying animations and soundscapes when you hit goals • Share your blooms — post garden snapshots to celebrate wins TRACK YOUR RUNS • Simple, reliable tracking — log distance, time, and pace for every run • Indoor or outdoor — record treadmill or outdoor runs • Goal-based runs — time, distance, or streak-focused sessions • Notes & tags — remember how a run felt and what you worked on GROW YOUR GARDEN • Collect & evolve species — unlock new varieties as your streaks climb • Design your layout — arrange beds and paths, rotate seasons, pick themes • Seed economy — earn seeds from runs; spend them to plant, evolve, or decorate • Rare finds — special plants appear on milestones, events, and long streaks STATISTICS • Streak tracker — daily/weekly/monthly consistency at a glance • Progress over time — see how your garden (and fitness) expands • Personal bests — highlight pace, distance, and streak milestones • Run timeline — scroll back through your planting journey WHY RUNGARDEN? • Visual progress that’s beautiful, not stressful • Motivation that lasts through collection, customization, and gentle goals • Beginner-friendly for new runners; cozy and rewarding for everyone NOTICE • RunGarden uses motion data and (for outdoor runs) location services to record activities; continued GPS use can reduce battery life. • Features and availability may vary by device and OS version.
