This is a minimalistic way to keep track of your daily, monthly, and yearly runs. It's for the casual runner who likes to see how far they've run for each type of revolution we go through; around ourselves(daily), the moon revolving around the earth(month-ish), or the earth around the sun (year)! The app includes handy widgets, fun interactions, and the ability to share your runs. This is not the app to fine tune your runs, but it's a place to look at your running holistically. You can set a goal for the month and keep track of that as well! No sign in required.
