eep your eyes on the runners. Let SplitTracker handle the splits. Built for track and cross country practice, SplitTracker helps coaches time a whole group, review each athlete's effort, and keep a useful record of every workout. Go from planning repetitions to recording laps and reviewing results on iPhone or iPad. TIME THE TEAM Start independent timer groups for athletes running different workouts or starting at different times. Tap each runner to record track laps or completed intervals, see recovery time, and move through the workout together. Pause, resume, skip a rep, or undo an accidental tap when practice changes on the fly. BUILD YOUR WORKOUT Set up repeated distances, mixed intervals, and repeat sets. Choose track or cross country/road mode, assign athletes to groups, and add notes to capture the purpose of the session. MAKE EVERY SPLIT USEFUL Review individual repetitions, lap times, average pace, and consistency. See who held a steady rhythm and compare results at the same distance. Keep practice bests and workout history in each athlete's profile. PUT RACE ESTIMATES IN CONTEXT See approximate race-time ranges from suitable repeated intervals. Estimates use comparable repetitions, typical split times, and recorded recovery, with an explanation of the data behind them. Training effort, terrain, and race conditions all matter, so treat these ranges as a starting point for coaching judgment. KEEP THE SEASON ORGANIZED Search your roster and practice history, filter track and cross country sessions, and archive athletes while keeping their past results. Create shareable practice reports and export or import JSON backups. READY AT THE TRACK Your roster and workouts are stored on your device. No account or internet connection is needed to time practice and review saved results.

Runnerd is a running coach and a serious analytics app in one. It builds a plan around your goal, explains every recommendation and works with the runs you've already logged. No subscription. No account. No compromises. HOW IT WORKS Connect Apple Health and Runnerd reads your past runs, whether they came from your Apple Watch, your iPhone or another running app. No blank slate: Runnerd knows where you stand from day one. Keep tracking with whatever you use today. Set a goal, like your next half marathon, and pick a coach. The Patient One builds up carefully, The Ambitious One pushes harder, and The Balanced One sits in between. The difference shows up in your plan, not just in the tone. Runnerd maps out every week until race day and schedules more of the run types you enjoy. You can add your own runs whenever you like. Each morning, your coach checks the plan against your readiness. After each run, it reviews how it went. Ahead of your goal? It'll tell you. Goal asking for more than your coach allows? It'll tell you that too. FOR NERDS WHO RUN Fitness, fatigue and form, running economy, intensity, training load: Runnerd shows whether your training is working and explains every term along the way. It's all built on proven sports science, not AI: Banister for fitness and form, Daniels VDOT for training paces and predictions, Karvonen for heart rate zones. IPHONE AND MAC Check in on your iPhone, dig deeper on your Mac with a native Mac app. Your data syncs through your private iCloud. Runnerd collects nothing and runs no servers. AND THE DETAILS Shoe mileage with a heads-up before a pair wears out. Personal bests, spotted automatically. Running partners. Widgets for your Home Screen and Lock Screen. Share runs, weeks and personal bests as images. FREE, WITH A ONE-TIME PRO UPGRADE Runnerd is free to use. Pro adds race predictions, running technique analysis, GPX export and The Ambitious One.
