About

Cardio Run App

Features
Read full description

Your body is the controller. Stand your phone up in portrait, step back far enough to be seen head to toe, and jog on the spot. The front camera watches you: your real jumps clear the hurdles, your real squats duck the beams, and leaning left or right changes lane. Stop moving and the world stops with you. WHAT IT IS Cardio Runner turns a workout into an endless runner. There is no controller and nothing to tap during a run — the only input is you, moving. TWO WAYS TO MOVE • Endless Run — hurdles to jump, beams to duck, coins to collect, five lives to spend. • Free Walk — nothing to dodge and nothing to lose. Somewhere pleasant to move for as long as you like. PICK YOUR PACE • Follow my pace — the world moves at your speed and stops when you do. • Steady pace — the track keeps its own tempo while you keep up. Useful when your phone can only see part of you. IT KEEPS TRACK Distance, time, coins, a daily distance goal and a running streak. A rough calorie estimate, based on the weight you enter and how hard you were working. NO ACCOUNT. NO INTERNET. NO ADS. There is no sign-in and no server. Your name, weight, scores and streak are stored on your device and nowhere else. Camera frames are processed on the phone as you move and are never recorded, saved or uploaded. The whole game runs offline, including pose detection. WHAT YOU NEED • A phone with a front camera, stood upright in portrait. • About two metres of space so your whole body is in frame. • Somewhere safe to move. Cardio Runner estimates activity for general fitness only. It is not a medical device and its calorie figures are approximations, not measurements. Talk to a doctor before starting a new exercise routine.
