Answers come from your local archive, not a cloud model Built to stay on the device FIT files, GPS tracks, Health workouts, maps, notes, and tags stay in RunRecall’s local storage. Connecting Garmin uses a short-lived inbox so the app can download activity files. That service is not a backup of your training history. Try free, then Unlock You can import a small number of FIT or Apple Health activities for free. RunRecall Unlock is a one-time purchase. It enables ongoing Garmin Connect sync and removes the free import limit. Restore Purchase on any iPad, iPhone, or Mac signed into the same Apple Account. RunRecall is not a live GPS tracker, coaching plan, or social network. It is a local library for the running you have already done. Need help?
