About

Quiet Run

Read full description

Built by a runner who understands advanced tracking β€” and decided most people don't need it. Quiet Run is a running app that gives you space instead of pressure. No leaderboards. No social feeds. No alerts screaming in your ear. Just tap START, run, and reflect when you're done. SIMPLE BY DESIGN One button to start. Pause and resume when you need to. Stop when you're done. That's it. The interface stays out of your way so you can stay in your run. FEEL, DON'T OPTIMIZE After each run, choose how it felt β€” light, steady, difficult, freeing, stressful, or joyful. Add a photo, write a few words, or just save and go. Quiet Run tracks what matters to you, not what a leaderboard thinks matters. DROP PINS ALONG THE WAY Mark moments during your run with location pins. Add a note, snap a photo, or record a voice memo β€” capture what caught your attention without breaking your stride. DISTANCE & ROUTE β€” IF YOU WANT IT Turn on location tracking to see your distance and route drawn on a map. Or leave it off. Quiet Run works great either way. Every tracking feature is optional, because not every run needs to be measured. YOUR STATS, YOUR WAY See weekly summaries, streaks, and feelings over time. Toggle anything you don't care about. Hide the timer during runs. Switch between km and miles. Show or hide distance entirely. Make it yours. APPLE WATCH Start, pause, and finish runs from your wrist. Record voice memos and drop pins β€” everything syncs back to your phone. APPLE HEALTH Import past running workouts and automatically save new ones to Apple Health. Or don't β€” it's up to you. LIVE ACTIVITIES See your run timer on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island without opening the app. iCLOUD SYNC Your runs sync across all your devices automatically. 15 LANGUAGES Available in English, Finnish, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, German, Dutch, French, Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil), Italian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese (Simplified), and Polish. COMPLETELY FREE Quiet Run is free with no ads, no subscriptions, and no paywalls. If you enjoy it, there's an optional tip jar to show support. Running doesn't need to be a competition. Sometimes a run is just a run. Quiet Run is here for those runs.
