Quiet Run vs RunOn

Built by a runner who understands advanced tracking — and decided most people don't need it. Quiet Run is a running app that gives you space instead of pressure. No leaderboards. No social feeds. No alerts screaming in your ear. Just tap START, run, and reflect when you're done. SIMPLE BY DESIGN One button to start. Pause and resume when you need to. Stop when you're done. That's it. The interface stays out of your way so you can stay in your run. FEEL, DON'T OPTIMIZE After each run, choose how it felt — light, steady, difficult, freeing, stressful, or joyful. Add a photo, write a few words, or just save and go. Quiet Run tracks what matters to you, not what a leaderboard thinks matters. DROP PINS ALONG THE WAY Mark moments during your run with location pins. Add a note, snap a photo, or record a voice memo — capture what caught your attention without breaking your stride. DISTANCE & ROUTE — IF YOU WANT IT Turn on location tracking to see your distance and route drawn on a map. Or leave it off. Quiet Run works great either way. Every tracking feature is optional, because not every run needs to be measured. YOUR STATS, YOUR WAY See weekly summaries, streaks, and feelings over time. Toggle anything you don't care about. Hide the timer during runs. Switch between km and miles. Show or hide distance entirely. Make it yours. APPLE WATCH Start, pause, and finish runs from your wrist. Record voice memos and drop pins — everything syncs back to your phone. APPLE HEALTH Import past running workouts and automatically save new ones to Apple Health. Or don't — it's up to you. LIVE ACTIVITIES See your run timer on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island without opening the app. iCLOUD SYNC Your runs sync across all your devices automatically. 15 LANGUAGES Available in English, Finnish, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, German, Dutch, French, Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil), Italian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese (Simplified), and Polish. COMPLETELY FREE Quiet Run is free with no ads, no subscriptions, and no paywalls. If you enjoy it, there's an optional tip jar to show support. Running doesn't need to be a competition. Sometimes a run is just a run. Quiet Run is here for those runs.

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 — 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 — 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 — a Live Activity keeps your progress visible on the Lock Screen while the route keeps recording. AFTER YOU RUN — 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 — 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 — 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.
