Cardio Dash turns your living room into an endless-runner arcade — controlled entirely by your body, tracked live through your phone's camera. Step in place to run. Jump over hurdles. Duck under obstacles. No wearables, no controllers, no extra equipment — just you and your phone. HOW IT WORKS Cardio Dash uses on-device motion tracking to read your movements in real time as you play. Everything happens locally on your phone — nothing is recorded, saved, or sent anywhere. TWO WAYS TO PLAY - Full Cardio Mode — step back a few feet and run in place for a real cardio workout while you play - Quick Play Mode — a lighter, upper-body version you can play close to your phone, perfect for small spaces or a quick warm-up FEATURES - Endless, ever-changing running track - Real-time body tracking — no extra hardware required - Two play modes to match your space and energy level - Fast, arcade-style gameplay - Completely free — no ads, no account required PRIVACY FIRST All motion tracking happens on your device. Cardio Dash doesn't collect your video, photos, or personal data. No login, no analytics, nothing sent to a server. Your camera feed never leaves your phone. Lace up — or don't, bare feet work too — and see how far you can run.
