Scribble Run
Read full descriptionHide full description
Every run, walk, hike and ride you've done, drawn in ink on a plain paper notebook. Scribble Run reads your workouts from Apple Health and draws each GPS route by hand. No setup, no account. Open it and your running log is already there. YOUR RUNS, DRAWN – Every route on its own little square of paper. Tap one: distance, pace, time, climb. – "So far" puts every route on top of each other, for all time or one year. Pinch in, run a finger through them. – The map: every route where it happened, like your own heatmap. NEW: DAYS, BESTS, POSTER – Days: a year of little calendars with a blot of ink on every day you went out. Longest streak, current streak, busiest month, favourite day. – Bests: your longest, your quickest run and ride, most climbing, earliest start, biggest week and month. – Poster: every drawing of the year on one sheet, or all of them on top of each other. Save it, print it, pin it up, share it. ALSO – Widgets: last run, so far, logbook, this week, and days out. – Draw with ink, pencil or biro. Kilometres or miles. – Runs, walks, hikes, rides, swims, ski days and paddles. – Opens like a book on iPhone Duo. No ads. No account. Your routes stay on your phone. Scribble Run only reads from Health; it never writes. Everything is free and nothing is locked. If it makes you smile, pay what you want.
