Run 1,000 km this year. Walk 50 this month. Whatever the number is, res keeps it in front of you and answers one question: are you going to make it? res is short for resolution — a firm decision to do something, and the quality of being determined to see it through. ONE NUMBER, HONESTLY Open res and you see where you stand: how far you've come, how far is left, and whether today puts you ahead or behind. No feed, no badges, no streaks to lose. The data is pure — no overthinking, no overloading, no tricks. GOALS THAT FIT YOUR YEAR Set a goal by week, month or year, for running, walking, hiking or cycling — or all of them together. res works out the pace you need and keeps a running prediction of where you'll land if you carry on like this. Feeling strong? Raise the number. res recalculates and keeps going with you. EVERY WORKOUT, COUNTED ONCE res reads the workouts already saved in Health, so it doesn't matter which app or watch you track with — the miles land in one place. And when two apps recorded the same run, res notices and counts it once. Bye duplicates. SEE THE WHOLE JOURNEY A history chart shows every past week, month or year next to the one you're in, so a slow fortnight looks like what it is: a slow fortnight, not a failed year. ON YOUR HOME SCREEN Add the widget for a glance at your progress without opening anything. Or ask Siri — "Hey Siri, how's my running goal?" — and get the number straight away. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT res is for you. Just for you. Your goals and your kilometers are nobody else's business, so there are no accounts, no social features and no privacy settings to get wrong. res asks for read access to your workouts in Health and nothing else. Your data never leaves your phone.
