About

RunHawk

RunHawk is not a running app. It is an accountability engine. The rule is simple: run 5 kilometers today. GPS-verified, no shortcuts, no partial credit. Do it again tomorrow. That is the whole app. THE STREAK Every completed 5K feeds the Flame. Your ring evolves as your streak grows — from green ember to roaring fire. Miss a day and it goes out. All of it. The only question RunHawk ever asks: did you show up today? THE GAUNTLET Tap the button and GPS locks on. The tracker knows the difference between running and riding — every run is earned or it does not count. No treadmill hand-waving, no honor system. The distance is the distance. THE CREW Invite your people. See who ran today and who has not — then push the ones who need it. When your crew can see whether you showed up, skipping stops being private. Accountability is the product. TROPHIES AND RANKS Trophies land on days you will not see coming, each one named, each one earned. Rank promotions with full-screen ceremonies as your streak climbs. Everyone starts as a Runhawk — what you become after that is decided by one thing: consecutive days. How far the ladder goes, you find out one rank at a time. WHY IT COSTS MONEY Free apps get downloaded, ignored, and deleted. This one costs you — and that is the point. Money on the line gets you out the door at 6 a.m. The price is part of the discipline. RunHawk requires a subscription: $9.99/month or $99.99/year (two months free). Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.
