RunForm AI is your personal AI running coach. Place your iPhone beside the treadmill, and within 3 minutes you'll receive a professional-grade running form analysis with actionable advice. β–  Professional Analysis Without the Lab Say goodbye to expensive gait lab equipment. RunForm AI uses advanced AI pose estimation to analyze your running form through your iPhone camera, measuring 13 key biomechanical metricsβ€”including cadence, vertical oscillation, torso angle, ground contact time, and bilateral symmetryβ€”to pinpoint exactly what needs improvement. β–  Real-Time Voice Coaching As you run, the AI coach provides real-time voice feedback on your form, guiding you to adjust cadence, trunk lean, foot strike patterns, and more. It's like having a professional coach right beside you during every workout. β–  Deep AI Analysis Report After recording, you'll receive a comprehensive form assessment including: β€’ Overall score with rating (Excellent/Good/Fair/Below Average/At Risk) β€’ Four-dimension breakdown scores: stride control, impact management, rhythm stability, and running economy β€’ Personalized focus area for the week β€’ Actionable improvement suggestions β€’ 7-day customized training plan β–  Track Your Progress Every session's metrics are recorded in detail. Historical trend charts let you visualize long-term improvements in cadence, symmetry, stability, and more. AI trend analysis tells you what's improving and what needs continued attention. β–  Smart Quality Gating Before analysis, the system automatically checks video qualityβ€”ensuring the runner is fully visible, key points are clear, and lighting is adequate. Analysis only proceeds when quality checks pass, ensuring every assessment is accurate and reliable. β–  Auto Motion Detection No need to tap your phone. Start running and recording triggers automatically. The system intelligently detects when your run starts and ends, letting you focus entirely on running. β–  Your Data, Your Privacy Raw video never leaves your device. Only pose keypoint coordinates are encrypted and transmitted for AI analysis. You can request full account and data deletion at any time, processed within 7 business days. β–  18 Language Support App interface and voice coaching support 18 languages, including English, Chinese (Simplified & Traditional), Japanese, Korean, French, German, Spanish, Arabic, and more. β–  Apple Watch Integration Optional watch companion that supplements heart rate data via Apple Watch for more comprehensive training insights.

About

RunOn

Features
Read full description

Run On is a minimal running log: real map routes, live pace, and a route card or video after every run. No ads, no subscription, no sign-up. BEFORE YOU RUN β€” A CLEAR ANSWER Live weather and air quality feed a daily Run Index that answers two things in one line: should you run today, and what should you wear. No squinting at humidity, wind speed and PM2.5 to decide. WHILE YOU RUN β€” EVERYTHING AT A GLANCE Real map route, live pace, distance, duration, calories and heart rate, read from Apple Watch via HealthKit rather than estimated. Pedometer calibration keeps distance honest. Take photos mid-run, pause any time, and lock the screen to stop accidental taps β€” a Live Activity keeps your progress visible on the Lock Screen while the route keeps recording. AFTER YOU RUN β€” A CARD AND A SHARE Your real route is drawn automatically with kilometre markers and photo pins. Pick a map template (frosted glass, minimal, midnight) and export a card in one tap β€” or turn the whole route into a video replay with music. Share straight to WeChat, Moments and Xiaohongshu. YOUR MILEAGE BUILDS ITSELF Total distance, run count, calories, weekly chart, weekly goal progress, full history and a badge wall. Milestone badges and personal-best tiers unlock as you go (1K under 9:00 / 7:00 / 5:00 / 4:00 / 3:00, and 3K / 5K / 10K / half marathon / marathon across five tiers). IT CLOSES THE LOOP Every finished run is written to Apple Health β€” distance, duration, calories and heart rate count toward your Fitness rings, with no manual entry. IPHONE + APPLE WATCH Apple Watch can record a run on its own and sync it back to your phone. A home screen widget shows whether you have run today. WHY PEOPLE SWITCH - No splash ads, no pop-ups - No subscription, no in-app purchase - No social feed to distract you - No account required; data stays on your device - Dark, full-screen interface built for one thing PRIVACY No account, no upload of workout data, no ads, no third-party analytics SDK, no profiling or tracking. Location and workout data are stored on your iPhone and Apple Watch by default; with iCloud sync on, they live in your own private Apple cloud space, which we cannot access.
