The coach that tells you why. Every plan app adjusts. Treadly is the running coach that tells you why each run is there, puts every change to you before it makes it, and keeps a record of how its calls held up. The way a human coach would, on your iPhone and Apple Watch. Every run has a reason. Today's run says why it exists. Trimmed to 4.2 miles at readiness 36. Eased twenty seconds a mile for the heat. Every number that comes from the research opens to the paper behind it, and the week header shows the climb cap out loud. Readiness comes from your sleep, HRV, and resting heart rate in Apple Health. Coach calls. A bad night, a heat wave, a missed run, a sore knee. The coach proposes a change and waits. Accept or undo. Hurt, sick, or life keeps your streak safe. If a change would be too small to notice, it does not ask at all. A coach on the record. Every call and your answer go on the record. "You took the ease-day call 8 times. Next runs averaged B+." Called vs ran grades the coach's own pace calls against what you ran. Your race confidence comes with a finish window that narrows as race day nears, and locks two weeks out so you cannot cram. Someone can see your run. Free. Add up to three safety contacts. When you run, they can follow a live page that opens in any browser, no app and no account. Slide for SOS on your phone, your watch, or the Lock Screen and they hear first, with your location and your local emergency number one tap away. If your phone goes silent, they get a text, and one more when you are back. On race day, make a link from your race letter and send it to anyone: they see where you are on the course and your projected finish. The run itself. Treadly records the run, on your watch or just your phone. Two real voices in your ear, never a robot. Pace and heart-rate zones on your wrist, reps counted as you run them, and auto-pause that waits for you. If you live on Strava, Garmin, or COROS, connect once and it all flows in. Plans for any race. 5K to marathon, from your pace today. Compare coaching approaches with real numbers before you commit. Strength days live on the plan too, timed from your wrist. New to running? Your first month on the ladder is free. Shoes, free forever. Every pair gets a role. Treadly spreads the miles so shoes wear out on schedule instead of by surprise, and tells you when one is done. Run with people. Send a run to a friend and it lands on both plans, your long run included. They get two weeks of Pro when they join. Pair with one partner who sees the shape of your week and hears when a run goes by. What is free, what is Pro. Shoes, readiness, the science library, and safety contacts are free. The coach's calls, the record, inviting a friend, and a partner are Pro, after a 14-day trial that starts with your first run. $9.99 a month or $59.99 a year. Treadly depends on your phone's signal and battery and is not a substitute for emergency services. Coaching is grounded in published training science and is not medical advice.

Volta is a running app built around the music — with three ways to run. LET IT DJ — during the run, Volta cues each next track to how you're actually moving. PLAN IT — before you go, Volta builds a playlist matched to your target pace and cadence. JUST PRESS PLAY — run to your own music, and Volta maps it for you. Whichever you choose, your route and your listening land on one timeline afterward — so you can see exactly what every song did to your pace. MUSIC THAT READS YOUR BODY In Match My Vibe mode, Volta watches how you're moving and picks the next song to match. Want to steer? Tap Hype to push the energy up, or Cool to bring it down — anytime. PLAN THE PLAYLIST BEFORE YOU GO Set your target pace, distance, and energy curve, and Volta builds a playlist shaped for that exact run. See every track's BPM before you start, and swap or reorder anything until it's yours. EVERY SONG, SHOWN ON THE MAP Your route, colored by pace and split by track. Tap any segment to see what was playing and how fast you were moving there. THE SONG THAT MADE YOU FASTEST After every run, Volta surfaces your Power Track — the one song you ran fastest to, with your pace on it and how far above your average it pushed you. YOUR SONGS, RANKED BY WHAT THEY DO FOR YOU Your whole library, sorted by the pace you actually ran to each track. Filter by month, sort by pace, and find the songs that reliably deliver — so your next playlist is built on what works. KNOW WHEN YOU HIT FLOW When your steps per minute lock to the beat, running feels easier. Volta shows you which tracks matched your stride and which didn't — so you learn what carries you. SHARE IT Turn any run into a clean, shareable image — your route, your top tracks, your pace — ready for your camera roll or your feed. Volta works with Apple Music and Apple Health.
