RunTrace
Read full descriptionHide full description
Install RunTrace and your running history is already there. Every run in Apple Health — the ones from your Apple Watch, the ones from whatever app you used before — is on the first screen, with its route, splits and heart rate intact. No account to make, no import to wait for, nothing to set up. Then it records new runs too. GPS route, live pace, splits as you pass each kilometre or mile, auto-pause when you stop at a light, and spoken split announcements so you don't have to look. Distance and pace stay on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, with a pause button you can reach without unlocking. FREE, AND IT STAYS FREE • Your whole Apple Health running history, imported on first launch • GPS recording with live pace, auto-pause and spoken splits • The Apple Watch app — it records on its own, so you can leave the phone at home • Route map, plus a profile of pace, elevation or heart rate along the distance • Splits chart showing your fastest and slowest laps • Time in five heart-rate zones, and a note for how it felt • This week day by day, and a calendar of every day you ran • Weekly volume and pace trend over the last three months • Records: longest run, longest time, best pace, biggest week, week streak • A weekly distance goal, with optional reminders on the days you plan to run • A share card built for someone else's feed: one big number and the shape of your route, no street map of your neighbourhood • GPX export of any run, or all of them at once, with heart rate and cadence • Home Screen widget with this week's distance and your last run RUNTRACE PRO: KNOW WHAT EVERY RUN IS DOING FOR YOU • Fitness, Fatigue and Form — training load that tells you whether you're fresh, building, or overreaching • VO₂ Max, resting heart rate and HRV, each against where it was three months ago • Running form measured by Apple Watch: power, cadence, stride length, ground contact and vertical oscillation • Best efforts at 1 km, 1 mile, 5K, 10K, half marathon and marathon, found inside runs you've already done • Volume and pace trends across a year, or every year you've run Pro cards are drawn from your own runs, so before you subscribe you can see that the numbers are yours, not a sample. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No account, no ads, no analytics, no servers of ours. Purchases go through the App Store and nowhere else. Runs you record sync through your own private iCloud, so they follow you between devices. What RunTrace reads from Apple Health stays on the device it read it from. ALREADY BOUGHT RUNTRACE?
