You shouldn't need to plan a path every time you want to run. Tap a distance, pick your terrain, and head out the door — a fresh loop is ready when you are. Whether you've just moved to a new neighborhood, you're traveling for work, or you simply want to break out of your usual 5K, getting a brand new path on demand removes the hardest part of running. No more retracing the same streets, no more measuring laps in the park, no more guesswork on a new trail. WHAT YOU GET • Distances from 1 to 30 kilometers, dialed in seconds • Terrain choice: stay on roads, hit the trails, or mix it up • Elevation preference, from flat and fast to hilly and steep • Live voice guidance that calls each turn at the right moment • Apple Watch app with standalone GPS — leave your phone at home • Workouts saved automatically to Apple Health with distance, pace, and active energy • A library of saved paths for the loops you want to revisit • Full history with maps and stats from every completed session FREE TO TRY Every new runner gets three full path plans to try the app on real streets and trails. No account creation, no email signup, no ads, no data collected beyond what makes the app work. PRO UPGRADE A one-time purchase unlocks 25 fresh path plans every month. Everything else — saving favorite loops, full history, voice guidance, watch sync — stays free forever. No subscription, no recurring billing, no auto-renewal. Pay once, run forever. PRIVACY Your runs stay on your iPhone and in your Apple Health. Path planning uses your current location to suggest loops nearby, and that's it. No tracking, no profiles sold to third parties, no behavioral analytics. MADE FOR RUNNERS, BY A RUNNER Built in Berlin by one developer who got bored of running the same five kilometers every Sunday. If something doesn't work, write directly to support@flappdev.com — every message lands in my own inbox. Lace up, open the app, run somewhere new.
