About

Motu Runner

Features
Read full description

Motu is the app for freelance Runners who work with a delivery Fleet that uses Motu. See every open order in your city, with its price and breakdown before you accept. It's your call: accept an order, send a counter or let it go. Declining costs nothing and is never counted. • Nearby first: your phone sorts orders by distance. While you wait, your location never leaves your phone. • Published prices: every price follows a rule your Fleet publishes, with its breakdown. • Real counters: the earliest counter within the Fleet's limit wins — never the cheapest. • Direct offers from your Fleet: decline them at no cost. • Step-by-step delivery: pickup, route and hand-over with a PIN, on one screen. • Add-ons: turn them on to see orders that fit your route. • Chat with your Fleet, and calls without sharing phone numbers. • Weekly earnings and invoices: review and sign them in the app, or invoice the Fleet yourself. • Your data: download it any time. Your location is shared with your Fleet only while you carry an order, and deleted when you finish. To use Motu you need an account from a Fleet that works with Motu: your Fleet gives you your username and a one-time code to choose your password.
