About

MovePact

Features
Read full description

Company for your walk or run. MovePact pairs you with one other person who booked the same time as you. You both head out, you both move, and you push each other through it with short texts and voice notes. First one to their own goal wins. Win or lose, you did it. HOW IT WORKS Pick a time, then a length in minutes or a distance to chase. We find someone whose plan matches yours. When the session starts you each see two rings filling toward your own goals, and you send a short text or a voice note when one of you needs a push. A FAIR RACE You race your own goal, not theirs. Someone walking two kilometres can beat someone running ten. You can both see how far and how fast the other is going, but nothing is ever ranked by speed, so walkers are first class here, not slow runners. IF NOBODY BOOKED YOUR TIME Some slots are quiet, especially early on. When that happens you can head out on your own and the session still counts, or wait while we keep looking. ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN A Live Activity keeps the session on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island: your progress, your partner's, your pace and the clock, without unlocking your phone. YOUR PACE, YOUR SPLITS Distance, average pace and current pace as you go, and your mile or kilometre splits live and at the finish. Splits stay on your phone. Turn on Apple Health once in Settings and every session saves there on its own. FRIENDS AND SQUADS Finish a session and both of you can choose Add friend. Friends book each other directly, no matching needed. A squad is you and up to four friends, and squads battle other squads for seven days. Teams keep score. People are never ranked against each other. NOBODY LEARNS WHERE YOU ARE Your location never leaves your phone. Distance is measured on the device, and your partner sees only how far you have gone, never where. No map, no route, no city. They see a handle and your avatar or the photo you chose to add, and get only the texts and voice notes you choose to send. NO OPEN MICROPHONE There is no live call. You decide when each voice note starts and stops, and nothing is recorded in between. Notes are deleted within 24 hours. Texts are deleted the moment the session ends. A PROMISE, NOT A NOTIFICATION Booking a session is a promise to a real person who is waiting for you. That is the part that gets you out the door on the mornings you would rather not. WHAT MOVEPACT IS NOT No social feed. No followers. No kudos. No leaderboard. No streak guilt. Nobody is watching you. MovePact is for adults, 18 and over. MovePact Plus MovePact is free, and during our launch period there is no session limit at all. From December 12, 2026 the free plan includes two sessions in any seven days, with every feature. MovePact Plus removes that limit. Monthly: $7.99 per month Annual: $59.99 per year, including a 1 week free trial Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. Your subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
