RunNerd reads the runs you've already done and tells you what they mean. Same pace, lower heart rate. Faster, but working harder. Cadence slipping on the long ones. The things your numbers say when someone actually reads them. KNOW WHY EVERY RUN FELT THE WAY IT DID Every run gets a name, a read, and a receipt. Two short paragraphs from the coach on what happened and why, then elevation and pace on one chart with your heart-rate zones coloured along the hill. Tap a mile to see what it cost you. A PLAN FOR YOUR RACE DATE Tell the coach the race and the date. The plan builds around it, reads every run you finish, and adjusts the next one. Move a run, your plan adjusts. PRs WITH THE WHY A new personal record shows the old mark, how long it took, and what changed: heart rate at pace, cadence, conditions. Not just a time. YOUR WEEK AND MONTH, THE MORNING AFTER Weekly and monthly recaps on Home: miles, adherence, your best efforts, and one line on what the data says. Share any of it as a clean image. ASK ANYTHING A coach you can talk to. Why last week felt hard, what to do on today's run, whether you're on track for the race. WORKS WITH YOUR GEAR Apple Watch, Garmin, intervals.icu, and anything that writes to Apple Health. Your running history comes with you. NEW TO RUNNING? Pick a first goal, run your first mile or your first 5K, and let your phone guide the run out loud with run/walk intervals. No watch required. WHAT YOU GET - Named runs with a plain-English read on each one - Elevation and pace on one chart, heart-rate zones included - Personal records with what changed since the last one - Weekly and monthly recaps - Shareable receipts for runs, PRs and recaps - Race plans that adapt week to week - Easy, interval, long, and run/walk workouts - Guided runs with spoken cues - Weather-aware run recommendations Built by a lifter who became a runner and got tired of staring at numbers that didn't explain anything.

Reli is a 1-minute reset app for the moments you need a little relief. When you feel stressed, tired, overwhelmed, angry, or simply need to reset, Reli guides you through a short body-based exercise in about 60 seconds. No long meditation. No need to explain what is wrong. Just choose how you feel and follow simple guided prompts: breathing, movement, tapping, holding, or gentle pressing, designed to help you slow down, refocus, and come back to yourself. How Reli works: 1. Choose how you feel - Start with what feels closest to your current state. 2. Begin your 1-minute reset - Reli creates a short guided routine that takes about 60 seconds. 3. Follow simple body-based prompts - Move, breathe, tap, hold, or press gently as the app guides you step by step. 4. Finish feeling a little lighter - Complete the reset and take a small moment to notice what changed - just in 60 seconds. Reli includes: - 1-minute guided reset routines - Simple body-based exercises - Breathing, movement, tapping, holding, and gentle pressing flows - Support for different emotional states - A calm, minimal interface - No account required - No long meditations - No journaling required - No need to explain what is wrong Small resets. Real relief. Reli is a wellness and self-care app. It is not medical advice, therapy, crisis support, or a substitute for professional care. If you are in immediate danger or need urgent help, please contact local emergency services or a qualified professional. A note from the maker: I made Reli because I believe more people should have a quick and simple way to support themselves in difficult moments - when everything feels heavy, when you feel a little overwhelmed, or when you are not quite coping. Not every moment needs a big solution. Sometimes, you just need something small, gentle, and easy to start. Reli is here to give you that: a 1-minute reset you can open whenever you need a little relief. Best regards, Daryna
