Some days you lace up and your head is somewhere else entirely. RunThink is built for that: a two-minute daily ritual for anyone who moves, runners, walkers, rollers, cyclists, swimmers, golfers, all of it. Every day, RunThink gives you one simple prompt to shift your mindset before you move. Answer it, post it, and see how a community of people just like you are showing up too. No likes to chase, no PRs to compare, just a quiet nudge to get out of your own head and into your day. WHY PEOPLE STICK WITH IT • Daily mindset prompts: a fresh question or challenge every day, made for movement, not motivation-poster fluff • A community forum that actually feels supportive: read how others answered today's prompt, add your own, keep a streak going • A private journal for the days you'd rather keep to yourself • Optional Apple Health integration: attach your run, walk, or ride stats to a post in one tap (your health data never leaves your device unless you choose to share it) • Built-in reminders so showing up becomes a habit, not a New Year's resolution RunThink isn't a fitness tracker. It doesn't care about your splits. It's the mindset layer underneath whatever you already do to move, five minutes that make the rest of your day a little lighter. RUNTHINK PREMIUM Free accounts get 30 days of journal and forum history. RunThink Premium ($4.99/year, auto-renewing) unlocks your entire history, so nothing you've written ever ages out. Payment will be charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions automatically renew unless auto-renewal is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple ID account settings. Hey, hey what a day. Let's make it a good one.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Run Things at none against RunThink's 1. RunThink's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 6 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
