About

Run Clock

Features
Read full description

Run Clock is your audio-first running companion. It speaks the current time and how long you've been running β€” out loud, at the interval you choose β€” so you never break stride to glance at a watch or your phone. Don't check. Just run. While you run, Run Clock announces: β€’ "It's 2:25 PM." β€’ "You've been running for 20 minutes." WHY RUN CLOCK Most running apps obsess over distance, pace, and heart rate. But often you just want to know: What time is it? How long have I been out? When should I turn back? Run Clock answers with your ears, not your eyes. FEATURES β€’ One tap to start β€” no setup, no account, no sign-in β€’ Spoken time + elapsed time at your interval (1, 3, 5, 10, or 15 minutes) β€’ Works in the background β€” screen off, phone in your pocket β€’ Plays alongside Spotify, Apple Music, and podcasts β€” lowers them only while speaking β€’ A warm companion voice or a clean standard voice, in English or Japanese β€’ A signature sound so every update arrives musically Run Clock isn't a tracker. It's a time companion. Less screen, more run.
