Every run deserves a finish line you can share. ShareRun turns the workouts in your Apple Health into beautifully designed cards and cinematic flyby videos — ready to post to Instagram Stories, send to a friend, or save to your camera roll. No new tracker to set up, no double-logging. Pick a workout, pick a vibe, share. HOW IT WORKS Open ShareRun — your Apple Health workouts appear automatically. Tap a run, walk, ride, swim, hike, or strength session. Choose a theme, drop in your route map, share — or render a flyby video of your route in seconds. • Standard or satellite map background with optional start/finish pins • Use a photo from your library as the background instead • Trim the start and end of your route to hide home or office • Add a personal caption • Pick up to six stats from distance, duration, pace, heart rate, calories, elevation, best pace, cadence • Multiple aspect ratios — square for the feed, vertical for Stories CINEMATIC FLYBY VIDEOS Watch your route come to life. ShareRun renders a smooth flyby over Apple's satellite map, following your exact GPS trace with the workout title, distance, duration, and pace overlaid as it unfolds. • 9:16 vertical — Stories- and Reels-ready out of the box • Picks up your card's selected stats and accent color automatically • Renders in roughly 30 to 90 seconds, fully on-device • Saved to a dedicated Videos library — replay, re-share, or delete anytime • One-tap share to Instagram, Messages, Camera Roll, or AirDrop BUILT FOR APPLE HEALTH ShareRun reads workouts and GPS routes directly from Apple Health, so anything your Apple Watch, iPhone, or any HealthKit-compatible app logs there shows up — Strava, Nike Run Club, Apple Workout, you name it. Metric or imperial, dark or light, your preference remembered. Choose how far back to import — last 30 days, 90 days, or the full history. PRIVACY FIRST Your health data never leaves your device. No account to create. No tracking. No analytics on your workouts. Map snapshots and flyby videos are rendered locally using Apple Maps — nothing is uploaded. SHARERUN PRO A 3-day free trial unlocks the full editor and the flyby renderer: • Unlimited workout cards • Cinematic flyby videos of every route • A persistent Videos library to revisit and re-share • All themes, sizes, and accent colors • Background photo support • Satellite map style Then $0.99/month. Cancel anytime in Settings → Subscriptions. REQUIREMENTS iOS 26 or later. Apple Health access required for workout import. An Apple Watch improves data quality but isn't required — manually logged workouts in the Health app work just as well. Flyby videos require an active route from Apple Health and need to run with the app in the foreground. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
