RunSplit vs SplitCue

RunSplit is the running app built around the thing that actually makes you faster: clean, color-coded intervals. Green means WORK. Red means REST. No guesswork - just a phone that knows what phase you are in and a coach that runs with you. FREE FOREVER - WITH A TIP JAR RunSplit is completely free. Every feature, every update, no paywall. There's a single ad slot in Settings. Prefer to support a solo developer? Leave a Gel, Energy Bar, or Race Entry tip and RunSplit goes ad-free permanently across every device on your iCloud. SMART INTERVAL COACHING Pick your work and rest blocks in seconds or meters, then tap Start. RunSplit counts you in, tracks the set, and hands you the next interval the second your rest is up. An on-device Smart Coach, powered by Apple Intelligence, talks you through every phase. Choose your tone - Hype, Calm, Drill, or Mindful - and your voice (boy or girl) and you get a runner, not a stopwatch, in your ear. STRETCH BEFORE RUN Three built-in dynamic warmups - Quick (3 min), Standard (5 min), Full (6 min) - made of the 12 stretches running coaches actually recommend: leg swings, walking lunges, hip circles, hamstring scoops, high knees, butt kicks, more. Wire one to a profile and tap Play. Pick "Stretch + Run" or skip. Animated visuals show the motion. Apple Watch chains right into your run when the routine finishes. FREE RUN - JUST RUN No Work/Rest splits, no countdown beeps. Free Run records your GPS route, distance, pace, and heart rate while you set your own pace. Perfect when you want to run by feel. WALK MODE Open record walks with GPS, live steps and heart rate with no Work/Rest bar LIVE CROSS-DEVICE RUN MIRROR Glance at your Apple Watch mid-run and see exactly what your iPhone is tracking. Run from your watch and your iPhone shows the same tile. If a device dies mid-run, the other one still has the live snapshot. FLYOVER VIDEOS Generate a cinematic 3D satellite flyover of any saved run - 9:16, ready to post. Every video opens with an establishing wide shot and closes with a pull-back reveal of the whole route. Duration and camera scale to long routes, elevation gain shows in the HUD, and PACE reflects your actual pace at each point. MOUNTAINS Hike mode auto-tags the highest GPS point on your route as a mountain, builds a Summit Collection, and lets you fix or add a peak retroactively from any past hike's detail screen. ACHIEVEMENTS, PRs, AND TOP-10 MEDALS Marathon distance, sub-5:00/km pace, early-morning run, weekly streaks, per-shoe PRs, mileage milestones. Plus a top-10 medal that lands on every saved run when you place in your lifetime ranks. CONDITIONS - YOUR BODY ON ONE SCREEN Weight, height, body temperature, resting heart rate, HRV, VO2 Max, blood oxygen, walking speed, plus today's steps, exercise minutes, and stand hours - all from Apple Health. Trend charts with a NEW PR badge when you set a lifetime best. SMART CALORIE TRACKING Log meals fast with Quick Add presets, free-form descriptions, or a manual editor. iPhones with Apple Intelligence parse your text into calories and macros on-device.

SplitCue (formerly PaceCue) is a structured interval timer built for runners. Build a workout or a full training plan, press start, and get voice and haptic cues that tell you when to speed up, slow down, warm up, and cool down — so you can leave your phone in your pocket and focus on the run. AI Training Plans Pick the race you are training for — 5K, 10K, half marathon, marathon, or a custom distance — then add a goal time, race date, and how many days a week you run. SplitCue builds the plan from your running profile and recent runs, and puts each workout on a calendar so you always know what to run today. Training phases show where you are in the build. Talk to your coach in chat, or just speak: move a long run, ease off a hard day, swap a workout, or add strides. Build any workout in seconds Stack intervals by time or by GPS distance, with repeat counts, effort levels, and target paces. A distance repeat ends when you have covered the distance. Start from 18 built-in workouts — Tempo Run, Fartlek, Pyramid, Hill Repeats, 400m Repeats, Mile Repeats, 5K and 10K runs, a half-marathon run/walk, and more — or design your own. Your library is grouped into Easy, Tempo, Intervals, Long Runs, and Race. AI Workout Builder Describe the run you want — "30-minute tempo with a warmup and strides" — and SplitCue generates a complete interval workout from your profile. Refine it in conversation or by voice, then save it and go. Real-time GPS pace Track pace, distance, and elevation through every interval. Set a target and SplitCue announces it when the interval starts, then calls out your current pace as often as you choose — from every 15 seconds up to every 2 minutes — or only on intervals that have a target. Use minutes per mile or minutes per kilometer, and pick a short or long pace average so track repeats stay quick and long runs stay steady. Audio cues that stay out of your way Choose voice, beeps, both, or silent. Pick any voice on your device, including enhanced voices. Music ducking lets cues cut through Spotify, then hands the volume back. Set countdown warnings at 3, 5, 10, 15, or 30 seconds before each transition, and keep haptics on when you want a cue you can feel. Lock Screen & Dynamic Island A Live Activity shows your current interval, the countdown, and what is next — on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. Maps, records, and history Every completed run is logged with duration, distance, and splits, including pace versus target. Open a run to see your route, an elevation profile, and your pace uphill, on the flat, and downhill. Tag how it felt, the effort, the weather, and who you ran with. Stats keep personal records — fastest mile, 5K, 10K, and half marathon, plus longest run and elevation — along with milestones and trends for pace, distance, and time. Export a backup anytime, or sign in with Apple and let cloud sync keep workouts and history on all of your devices. Share a workout Send any workout as a link friends can open in one tap. You can share a finished run the same way, splits included. Free to start The timer, presets, custom workouts, pace tracking, Live Activities, voice cues, maps, and history are free. Your first AI training plan is included, along with five AI-built workouts. SplitCue Pro is an optional subscription that unlocks unlimited AI training plans and unlimited AI-built workouts.
