Your run. Your canvas. Runvas turns running into an act of expression. Sketch any shape, trace a word, or let the app compose a route that fits your pace, then go run what you drew. This isn't another tracker that just counts miles. Runvas is the first running app built for people who want their route to mean something. Paint a heart through your neighborhood. Spell your kid's name across the park. Sign the city. — WHAT YOU CAN DO — • DRAW ANY SHAPE Tap, drag, or trace freehand. Runvas snaps your sketch onto real streets using walkable, runnable routes, with no illegal shortcuts through buildings. • WRITE WITH YOUR FEET Type a word and Runvas plots each letter across the map, sized to your target distance. • CHOOSE FROM A LIBRARY OF SHAPES Hearts, dinosaurs, lightning bolts, peace signs. Pick a shape, drop it anywhere, and it auto-sizes to hit your goal mileage. • TRAIN FOR YOUR RACE Pick a race (5K, 10K, half, marathon, or ultra), set your date and experience level, and Runvas builds a week-by-week plan. Each workout is a real route, drawn as the shape you'll trace. Skip a day and it redistributes the mileage across the week. Run two plans at once if you're training for more than one race. • SURPRISE ME Out of ideas? Tap once and Runvas drops a random shape on your city, then turns it into a route. • ADAPTIVE MUSIC Pace-matched soundtracks that follow your cadence as you run. Speed up and the BPM rises with you. • CINEMATIC RUN PREVIEW Watch your planned route animate before you step outside, with a globe-to-street flyover and a few camera modes. You'll know where you're going and how long it'll feel. • GPX EXPORT One tap sends your route to Strava, Garmin Connect, Apple Health, or your watch. Your art, your stats, everywhere you want them. • LAYERS Design a whole session. A warm-up letter, a main-event shape, a cool-down loop, stacked, saved, and runnable in any order. — WHY RUNVAS? — Most running apps ask you to care about splits. Runvas asks you to care about what you leave behind. Every route you run is a brushstroke on a map that nobody else will ever run the same way. You're not logging miles, you're making something. And when you're done, you've got a shareable piece of your city, traced in your own footsteps. — BUILT FOR — • Runners who've plateaued on the same 5K loop and want variety • Strava artists who want the drawing tool as good as the run itself • Anyone who runs for fun more than for finish times • Parents, couples, and friends who want to run meaningful routes for each other • Coaches and trainers looking for a creative way to hit weekly mileage — FREE. ADS BETWEEN GENERATIONS. OPTIONAL ONE-TIME UPGRADE. — Runvas is free to use, forever. A brief ad appears between every few generations. If you love it, a single one-time purchase removes ads for the lifetime of your account. No subscription. No surprises. — PRIVACY — Your routes live on your device and sync to your account, and that's it. We don't sell your location and we don't share your data. You can run Runvas without creating an account at all. — START PAINTING — Your city is waiting to be drawn on. Download Runvas, sketch something, and go run it. It's that simple. Questions, requests, or a cool route to share? Reach us at hello@runvas.app or @runvas on Instagram and TikTok.
FinishDose

FinishDose is a private tracker for medicine you take for a set number of days — antibiotics, steroids, a two-week course — and then finish. Most medication apps assume you take something forever. FinishDose assumes there is an end date, and helps you reach it. TRACK A COURSE FROM START TO FINISH Add the medicine, the dose, how many days and how many times a day. FinishDose builds the schedule and shows you what is due next, so you never have to work it out again. LOG WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED Mark each dose taken or skipped. Took it late? The time you actually logged it is recorded alongside the time it was due. Made a mistake? Undo it — a dose, or a whole day. Add a note to any dose: taken with food, felt drowsy, anything worth remembering. CATCH UP ON MISSED DAYS Forgot to log yesterday? Mark the whole day at once and get back on track. REMINDERS YOU CONTROL Turn reminders on and get a notification at each dose time, with Taken, Skip and Snooze right on the notification. Reminders are entirely optional. FinishDose also warns you before a course runs out, so low stock is easier to notice and you can plan ahead. EVERYONE IN THE HOUSE Keep separate course spaces for yourself, a child, a parent or a pet, each with its own history. YOUR RECORD, YOURS TO KEEP Export any course as a PDF for a follow-up appointment, or your whole history as a spreadsheet. Take a photo of the packet so you always know which one it was. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your courses are encrypted on your device with a key held in your phone's secure keystore. There is no account, no cloud sync, and nothing is sent to a FinishDose server. No ads and no tracking of any kind. You can export a backup file whenever you like — you choose where it goes. Optional App Lock adds your device's Face ID, fingerprint or passcode in front of the app. IMPORTANT FinishDose is a reminder and tracking tool. It is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition. It does not give medical advice, check drug interactions, or provide dosing guidance. Always follow your doctor, pharmacist, or the medicine label.
