George Costanza called it first. We built it. PortaDash is the community-powered restroom finder built for runners, hikers, and outdoor athletes — now with Apple Watch Mode so you never have to stop mid-run to find relief. 1. WATCH MODE — HANDS FREE Start Watch Mode before your run and see the nearest restroom directly on your Apple Watch wrist — distance, directions, and all. No phone. No stopping. No panic. 2. GO NOW! — ONE TAP EMERGENCY Hit Go Now! to instantly navigate to the nearest restroom. When nature calls at mile 8, you don't have time to search. 3. COMMUNITY-POWERED MAP Real runners and hikers mapping real locations — restrooms, porta-potties, and community-added spots. The more people contribute, the better it gets for everyone. 4. EARN YOUR RANK Add pins, help others, and climb from Potty Rookie all the way to Porcelain Legend. Every pin you add helps real people in real moments. 5. KNOW BEFORE YOU GO Check community ratings, features, and notes before you arrive. Public or private? Free? Accessible? Paper? You'll know. 6. LIVE ACTIVITY The nearest restroom stays pinned on your Lock Screen the entire time you run — always visible, always updated. 7. HIGH FIVES & COMMUNITY When someone uses a pin you added, you get a High Five. Your contributions matter — and the community lets you know it. NO ADS. EVER. PortaDash is free and will always be ad-free. Help keep it that way by contributing pins or supporting the app with a coffee. Featured in Richmond Magazine, Axios Richmond, The Daily Pennsylvanian, and The Richmonder. Built solo by one developer who got tired of not knowing where the nearest restroom was at mile 8. Download free. Run worry-free.

F3 Workout Timer is a free, smack-talking timer built for F3 beatdowns. Mark who posted and the app calls out PAX by name during heckles and motivation — no more generic countdowns. Dial the heat from low to high intensity and the callouts get more frequent and more savage. Sync every phone on the field to the Q's clock with a scannable QR code, so the whole beatdown moves together in real time. Keep going with the screen locked or the phone in your pocket — cues, beeps, and callouts keep firing. Built for every format you Q: standard station rotations, a simple countdown, a precise work/rest interval timer (fixed count or unlimited), or a freestyle stopwatch with no timer at all. Recently used timers are saved so you can start your go-to workout in one tap. Browse region playlists to queue up tunes for the whole AO, and send in your own smack-talk lines to get added to the callout rotation. F3 Workout Timer requires no account for normal use — sign in with Google or Apple only if you're managing your region's rosters, AOs, or playlists as an admin. Free. No ads. No subscriptions.
