Every song here is from a real run. RUNNERS, NOT A FEED See who was out today and what they played. Follow people, save songs off their runs, and find music through the runners who are actually listening to it. Every profile and activity has a public page you can share with anyone, whether or not they use the app. YOUR RUNS, SONG BY SONG - Every song you play, with the mile you heard it and your pace - The songs you run fastest to, and song PRs when you beat your best - A song-by-song breakdown posted straight to Strava - Share cards for Instagram Stories, built from your route and your covers - Monthly recaps, your shoes and their mileage, and stats across everything you track MIXES FROM THE COMMUNITY - Mixes by genre, by distance and by person, built from what runners here actually play - Any run's songs turned into a playlist in one tap HOW IT WORKS Connect Strava and your music, start tracking when you head out, and you're done. If you wear a watch, Trackrecord notices when your run ends and finishes on its own. Rides, walks, hikes and lifts get logged too. Trackrecord is free. A Strava account is required. Apple Music or Spotify is required for song tracking; Last.fm can be connected as a backup.
