PBSplits
Read full descriptionHide full description
PBSplits is a free app that finds your fastest split at every standard distance across your run history. Most personal-best tools only know your finish times. If you've never raced a 5K, they think you've never done one. PBSplits looks inside each run and finds the fastest continuous window for every distance on the ladder, so the best 5K you ever ran shows up even if it was the middle 5K of a 12 K training jog. Three tabs, and it opens on the first. Runs is every run in your Health data โ pull to refresh, tap any one to open it, even the ones that never hit a standard distance. Trends plots a distance over time, as pace or as finish time, with a year-over-year view to lay this season against the last; it also holds the Power Curve, your season's distance against last year's, and your weekly run streak. Me is your season and all-time totals and the record book: the ladder from 400 m to 100 K, grouped Short / Road / Ultra. Tap any effort and you get the whole run โ the route on a map with the record-winning segment highlighted, a mile-by-mile splits table, and pace and elevation charts. Tap a split and its window lights up on the map and across the charts, so you can see exactly where you found the time. Season and all-time crowns mark the efforts that took a podium. Great for: โข Runners who want PBs from training, not just races โข Tracking progress over a season or a year โข Finding the fastest you've ever covered a 5 K, 10 K, half, or marathon โข Comparing efforts across short, road, and ultra distances โข Anyone whose watch knows more than they do What you get: โข Best-effort engine that finds your fastest continuous split at every distance, not whole-run averages โข Full distance ladder from 400 m to 100 K, grouped Short / Road / Ultra โข Every run, browsable: pull to refresh, and open runs that never hit a standard distance โข Trend charts, progression and year-over-year, by pace or by time, pinch to zoom either axis โข Mile-by-mile splits: tap a split to highlight its window on the map and the charts โข Your watch's own laps and workout intervals, each in their own table โข Power Curve: your best pace at every duration, from 30 seconds to your longest run, switchable to heart rate, for a season or your own date range โข Weekly run streak, with every run day's distance on a heatmap โข Export any run as a GPX or FIT file โข Map view per effort, with the winning segment highlighted on the route โข Season and all-time crowns on podium efforts โข Share cards for a new PB, a podium, or your whole record book โข Pick your pace units: min/km or min/mi โข PBSplits reads your workouts from Apple Health and never writes to it โข Your run data stays on your device Free to download โ no subscription, no account.
Currimus

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 โ nothing else, nowhere else. The app makes no network calls of any kind. ON THE WATCH โ 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. โ Trail runs are measured honestly: climb, grade-adjusted pace, and a live elevation read, because uphill your pace lies. โ 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. โ 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 โ Home puts the one thing that matters up front: a race countdown when you have one, your week's volume when you don't. โ A log of every run, road and trail, with automatic session types you can correct. โ 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. โ Records that appear on their own โ 1K to marathon, longest run, most climb. No badges, no confetti. โ A target race with an honest prediction based on your own benchmark runs. โ Your recorded route on a real map, per-kilometre splits, and time in zones. โ 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 โ 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.
