FreePace vs Currimus

GPS Running & Route Recorder Live Run Tracking A 10-second countdown gets you ready, then your route is drawn in real time on the map. Get live updates on distance, pace, elapsed time, and elevation gain as you go. Pause and resume freely — Run Tracker keeps accurate records even through breaks. Pre-Run Countdown A 10-second countdown gives you time to pocket your phone and get set before your run begins. Tap anywhere to skip the countdown or cancel to go back. Audio Cues Receive spoken updates at each mile or kilometer split so you can stay informed without looking at your phone. Customize which stats are announced. Audio cues automatically adapt when you enter cool-down mode. Cool-Down Mode Tap the Cool Down button mid-run to separate your warm-down walk from your running stats. View running-only or total stats on the fly with a simple toggle. Your run summary automatically shows both running and total sections when cool-down is used. Detailed Split Analysis Review every mile or kilometer split in a clean card-style layout with color-coded accent bars highlighting your fastest and slowest segments. Each card shows pace, elevation gain/loss, cadence, and distance — with cool-down splits visually distinguished. Cadence Tracking Monitor your steps per minute in real time using your iPhone's built-in motion sensors. No watch or accessory required. Route Checkpoints Drop custom checkpoint pins along your named routes during a run. On future runs of the same route, checkpoints are automatically detected as you pass them — with green/red delta badges showing whether you're ahead or behind your benchmark time. Review all checkpoint splits in your run summary. Run History & Routes Browse your complete run history with search and filtering. Save frequently-run routes with custom names for easy comparison. View checkpoint pins on route detail maps and manage them with long-press to delete. GPX Export Export any run as a standard GPX file to share with other apps or analyze in third-party tools. Offline Ready Download map areas in advance for runs in areas with poor signal. Your run data is always recorded locally — no account or internet required. Dark Mode Full dark mode support with a muted map style that's easy on the eyes during early morning or evening runs. Run Tracker stores all data on your device. No account required. No subscriptions. No ads.

Currimus is a running app with a single idea: show you the numbers that matter, and nothing else. No account. No ads. No feed. No tracking, no data sales, no spam. It stays out of the way so your running stays in front. Your Apple Watch records the run. Your iPhone reads it back and shows you where you stand. Runs sync to Apple Health — nothing else, nowhere else. The app makes no network calls of any kind. ON THE WATCH — A clean live glance: time, distance, pace, and a heart-rate zone bar that shows where you are inside a zone, not just a number. — Trail runs are measured honestly: climb, grade-adjusted pace, and a live elevation read, because uphill your pace lies. — Pacer: set a target pace and distance, and a simple gauge tells you fast or slow at a glance, with a finish forecast as you go. — Kilometre alerts, a start countdown, and full always-on-display support, so the screen stays readable with your wrist down without burning the battery. ON THE iPHONE — Home puts the one thing that matters up front: a race countdown when you have one, your week's volume when you don't. — A log of every run, road and trail, with automatic session types you can correct. — Progress that tells the truth: your average pace over the last twelve weeks, heart rate at your own steady pace (aerobic drift), grade-adjusted trail pace, and monthly volume. — Records that appear on their own — 1K to marathon, longest run, most climb. No badges, no confetti. — A target race with an honest prediction based on your own benchmark runs. — Your recorded route on a real map, per-kilometre splits, and time in zones. — Export every run as GPX or CSV, whenever you want, wherever you want it. Currimus also reads the running workouts other apps saved to Apple Health, so every total counts what you actually ran — not only what you recorded here. PRIVACY There is no account because there is nothing to sign in to. There are no trackers and no third-party code. Your runs, heart rate and routes live in Apple Health and in the app's own storage on your devices, and go nowhere else. The privacy policy says the same thing the app does, because they are the same thing. Currimus records on the Apple Watch and needs one paired to your iPhone. Everything on the iPhone still reads your Apple Health runs without it.
