The run is yours alone. Dagg is a running app with nothing to perform for. No feed, no followers, no kudos, no leaderboards. Just you, the ground you cover, and a quiet record of it. Track your run with GPS. Watch it drawn back as a shape. Race your past routes: your own ghost, not a stranger's. Hear a calm voice only when it helps, a hill ahead or a fading pace, and silence the rest of the time. ON YOUR WRIST Dagg runs on Apple Watch, on its own. Start from your wrist and leave the phone at home: time, distance and pace on the watch, heart rate alongside, a haptic at every kilometre. The run reaches your iPhone by itself when you get back. Bring the phone instead and the watch becomes a mirror of it, with a tap on the wrist for every coaching cue. THE CORE IS FREE, AND COMPLETE No trial, no account, no crippled features. Install it and run. • GPS tracking that keeps going in your pocket, with a Live Activity on the lock screen and in the Dynamic Island • Every run saved as a shape, not a number to beat • Race your previous routes as ghosts • Voice coaching spoken by the phone itself: hills, fatigue, splits, pace • Auto-pause that catches the moment you stopped and back-dates it, so your moving time stays honest • Splits, elevation, and an honest read of where you faded and where you kicked • Write to Apple Health if you want it, and export any run as GPX • Square, honest, monospace design. Less, deliberately. DAGG PRO (optional subscription) When you're training toward something, a 5K, a 10K, a half, a first marathon, Dagg builds a week-by-week plan paced to your current fitness and re-fits it after every run from how that run went. • A plan to your goal race, paced to where you are now • A suggested next run, each day • Guided workouts spoken as you run them: the warmup, every rep, every recovery, each at its own pace • Change a session you have not run yet, and the plan fits around your change instead of writing over it • Re-fits after every run, and tells you what it changed • After every run, plan or no plan, your coach reads it against your recent weeks • Choose how the coach speaks: Direct, Steady or Warm • Optional cloud sync, so a new phone starts where you left off • One week free, then yours to keep or leave, anytime It runs on real machines, so it costs something to keep going. The subscription pays for that, and nothing more. WHAT DAGG LEAVES OUT No feed. No followers. No kudos. No streaks. No guilt. Nothing you run is ever made public. Your runs are recorded and kept on your phone. Cloud sync is off until you switch it on, and you can delete the stored copy whenever you like. The run stays free. Always. Dagg Pro is an auto-renewable subscription. • Length: 1 month, renewing monthly until you cancel • A 1-week free trial first, then the monthly price for your country, shown before you subscribe • Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. • The subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. • Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period. • Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple ID account settings. • Any unused portion of the free trial is forfeited when you purchase a subscription.

Quiet Run

Read full description

Built by a runner who understands advanced tracking — and decided most people don't need it. Quiet Run is a running app that gives you space instead of pressure. No leaderboards. No social feeds. No alerts screaming in your ear. Just tap START, run, and reflect when you're done. SIMPLE BY DESIGN One button to start. Pause and resume when you need to. Stop when you're done. That's it. The interface stays out of your way so you can stay in your run. FEEL, DON'T OPTIMIZE After each run, choose how it felt — light, steady, difficult, freeing, stressful, or joyful. Add a photo, write a few words, or just save and go. Quiet Run tracks what matters to you, not what a leaderboard thinks matters. DROP PINS ALONG THE WAY Mark moments during your run with location pins. Add a note, snap a photo, or record a voice memo — capture what caught your attention without breaking your stride. DISTANCE & ROUTE — IF YOU WANT IT Turn on location tracking to see your distance and route drawn on a map. Or leave it off. Quiet Run works great either way. Every tracking feature is optional, because not every run needs to be measured. YOUR STATS, YOUR WAY See weekly summaries, streaks, and feelings over time. Toggle anything you don't care about. Hide the timer during runs. Switch between km and miles. Show or hide distance entirely. Make it yours. APPLE WATCH Start, pause, and finish runs from your wrist. Record voice memos and drop pins — everything syncs back to your phone. APPLE HEALTH Import past running workouts and automatically save new ones to Apple Health. Or don't — it's up to you. LIVE ACTIVITIES See your run timer on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island without opening the app. iCLOUD SYNC Your runs sync across all your devices automatically. 15 LANGUAGES Available in English, Finnish, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, German, Dutch, French, Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil), Italian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese (Simplified), and Polish. COMPLETELY FREE Quiet Run is free with no ads, no subscriptions, and no paywalls. If you enjoy it, there's an optional tip jar to show support. Running doesn't need to be a competition. Sometimes a run is just a run. Quiet Run is here for those runs.
