YOU CANT RUN

The app for those of us who don't run — but want to get moving. The big fitness apps want to make you a champion. YOU CAN'T RUN just wants you out the door. Build your own workouts from blocks and steps — walk 10 minutes, do 10 squats, jog a little if you dare — and let the app handle the rest. HALFWAY TURN — the app's secret weapon Pick a workout, head out along any route, and the app calculates when to turn around so you end up exactly where you started. It learns your pace and stride, so the turning point gets more precise with every walk. BEAT YOURSELF — NOT OTHERS Walk the same route again and the map shows how far you made it last time. Pass the flag and get your celebration. Your own ghost shows if you're ahead or behind. It's about you — not about beating everyone else. POI WALKS - Motivational walks everywhere Walk to a real place on the map and a tour appears — just because you're standing right there. Finish it and collect a medal. A cozy leaderboard shows who's been to the spot: for walks it's about showing up, not being fast — so someone who's walked 100 places tops the fast one. You only appear if you choose to set a name. BUILT FOR REAL PEOPLE • Ready-made programs: From couch to 5K, The growing walk, Walk yourself strong, Back from parental leave and more • The workout generator mixes a 10-120 minute surprise • Dog Mode: walks where the dog decides the breaks • Stroller walks: completely silent (we won't wake the little one), and the clock waits when the stroller stops — 30 days free, up to 60 with the parental leave program • Auto-pause when you stop — the clock never cheats • Apple Watch as remote control and heart rate monitor • Live Activity on your lock screen with a "TURN AROUND!" alert • Widgets with your streak and weekly kilometers • Everything saved to Apple Health YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS No account, no login, no ads, no tracking. Everything lives on your phone — apart from the POI leaderboard you choose to join (still stored by Apple iCloud!). Free to try: build 2 workouts and complete each 10 times. Full access — everything without limits, no hidden features — costs less than a cup of coffee a month. You don't have to be a champion. Just a slightly better version of yourself. Subscription Full access is available as a monthly or yearly subscription, at the price shown in the app. Payment is charged to your Apple account at purchase, and the subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store settings. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ · Privacy: https://youcantrun.jegerlars.dk/privacy.php
