Sketchy Run turns your running routes into simple, hand-drawn sketches and focuses on distance as your primary metric. Instead of complicated maps and overwhelming statistics, Sketchy Run tracks what really matters: how far you've gone and the unique path you've taken. Of course other important metrics like pace, time and heart rate are tracked as well and synced with Apple Health. Sketchy Run is for runners who love seeing their cumulative distance grow over time. Track your progress with epic journey achievements and transform each run into part of a larger adventure - from a lap around Indy Speedway to completing Frodo's quest or circumnavigating the moon. The app works with your Apple Watch to track your runs, and the iPhone companion app lets you review your collection of running sketches anytime.
