About

SHUTT

Features
Read full description

Strava remembers that you did it. SHUTT is the print. Open it after a run. Pick the photo. The run is already on it: distance, pace, splits, elevation, heart, the route drawn as a mark, the coordinates of where it happened. 33 looks, each one finished before you touch it. Save it. Post it. Go again. THE LOOKS Ready to go. Silver: your run engraved on a steel plate that reflects your photo. Each look is a whole design with a name, not a template with blanks. New looks drop with most updates. THE RUN, AS MATERIAL Distance, pace, time, splits, heart rate and zones, elevation, cadence, calories, weather, the shoes, the song. 30 stats and more, set in type that was chosen for them. THE ROUTE, AS A MARK Your line, drawn over the photo in 49 styles: chrome, neon, enamel, pearls, a metro map. THE CLUB Find the run clubs in your city and the ones you follow on Strava. Put your club's mark on the run. VIDEO The same looks on your clips, in the brightness and colour you filmed them in. YOUR HAND Every block drags, resizes and snaps. Put the type behind the runner. 28 typefaces. Colour, weight, spacing and shadow per element. Or leave it: the defaults are the point. SIZES Story 9:16. Post 4:5. Square 1:1. Optimized for IG and TikTok. PRO Takes the SHUTT mark off and opens the premium looks and route styles, type behind the runner, heart-rate stats, the song and transparent export. Monthly, yearly, or once. Subscriptions renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy: https://shutt.run/privacy SHUTT is an independent app, compatible with Strava. Not made or endorsed by Strava. Made in Valencia. Under perpetual contrast.
