Currimus is a running app with a single idea: show you the numbers that matter, and nothing else. No account. No ads. No feed. No tracking, no data sales, no spam. It stays out of the way so your running stays in front. Your Apple Watch records the run. Your iPhone reads it back and shows you where you stand. Runs sync to Apple Health — nothing else, nowhere else. The app makes no network calls of any kind. ON THE WATCH — A clean live glance: time, distance, pace, and a heart-rate zone bar that shows where you are inside a zone, not just a number. — Trail runs are measured honestly: climb, grade-adjusted pace, and a live elevation read, because uphill your pace lies. — Pacer: set a target pace and distance, and a simple gauge tells you fast or slow at a glance, with a finish forecast as you go. — Kilometre alerts, a start countdown, and full always-on-display support, so the screen stays readable with your wrist down without burning the battery. ON THE iPHONE — Home puts the one thing that matters up front: a race countdown when you have one, your week's volume when you don't. — A log of every run, road and trail, with automatic session types you can correct. — Progress that tells the truth: your average pace over the last twelve weeks, heart rate at your own steady pace (aerobic drift), grade-adjusted trail pace, and monthly volume. — Records that appear on their own — 1K to marathon, longest run, most climb. No badges, no confetti. — A target race with an honest prediction based on your own benchmark runs. — Your recorded route on a real map, per-kilometre splits, and time in zones. — Export every run as GPX or CSV, whenever you want, wherever you want it. Currimus also reads the running workouts other apps saved to Apple Health, so every total counts what you actually ran — not only what you recorded here. PRIVACY There is no account because there is nothing to sign in to. There are no trackers and no third-party code. Your runs, heart rate and routes live in Apple Health and in the app's own storage on your devices, and go nowhere else. The privacy policy says the same thing the app does, because they are the same thing. Currimus records on the Apple Watch and needs one paired to your iPhone. Everything on the iPhone still reads your Apple Health runs without it.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Currimus at none against Heave's 2. Currimus also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.2). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
