RouteRush
Read full descriptionHide full description
Your city is the map. Every run and ride you record paints real ground in your colour — and you keep it only as long as you keep showing up. RouteRush turns training into territory. Record a run or a ride, watch your route close a loop on a 3D globe, and claim the ground inside it. Someone runs over your turf, they take it. Consistency is the only defence. Meet Boldi, your AI coach. Talk or type to build a training plan, then change it by chat (or by voice with Ultra) when life shifts: sick, travelling, taking a break. You see the before and after, and you can undo any change. Boldi is a training coach, not a doctor. CONQUER REAL GROUND • Record runs and rides with live pace, distance, elevation and route • Closed routes become territory on a 3D world map • Territory fades over time — go back to hold it, or take someone else's • Territory leaderboards by area captured and ground covered • Day, Dusk and Night map styles CLIMB THE WEEKLY LEAGUE • Earn Rush Points on every activity • Weekly cohorts of 30 runners with promotion and demotion zones • Bronze, Silver and Gold tiers, with a placement week to find your level • A fresh table every week — the season never stops TRAIN WITH BOLDI, YOUR AI COACH • Chat about pacing, recovery, race day and the week ahead • Send a photo or a PDF — a plan, a track session, a race entry — and Boldi reads it • Nine training plans, from your first 5K to a marathon block • Weekly workouts with target paces built around your benchmark CLUBS, FEED AND FRIENDS • Join or create a club, then take on club battles and challenges • Post photos with stats stickers and a route card in three styles • For You and Following feeds, plus an Events tab in Explore, with comments and likes • Follow other runners and see the ground they hold BUILT FOR IPHONE • Live Activity and Dynamic Island while you record • Quick Start home screen widget • Apple Health: reads your workouts and metrics, writes your runs back with their route • Records without a signal and syncs when you are back online • Pace, heart rate, elevation and best-effort charts for every activity • English, Turkish, German, Spanish, French and Italian Tracking, territory, leagues, clubs and the feed are all part of the app, and so is seeing who owns any territory. RouteRush Pro and Ultra are optional subscriptions for more Boldi — text chat, starting plans Boldi builds for you, a monthly coached run, and with Ultra voice chat and live voice coaching on every run — plus a verified badge and unlimited username changes.

Koshio
Read full descriptionHide full description
Koshio turns your run into a game of territory. Start a run, go around a block, a park or a whole neighbourhood, and come back to where you started. The moment you close the loop, everything inside it turns your colour on the map. Run over someone else's territory and you take it from them. Then they can come and take it back. HOW IT WORKS 1. Start a run. The map follows your route live. 2. Close the loop. Return to your starting point and the area inside becomes yours. 3. Defend it. Your territory stays on the map until another runner claims it. RUN WITH A CLUB Start a club or join one. Clubs have their own announcement board, their own events and their own member rankings. Organise a run, see who says they are coming, and check them in on the day with the attendance table. KNOW WHERE YOU STAND You have a rank in every city you run in, and a rank in your country. Territory helps, but every run counts towards your score even when you claim nothing. IN THE APP - Live map showing who owns what, and how big it is - Clubs, events and an attendance table - City and country leaderboards - Friends, so you can filter the map to just the people you know - Notifications when your territory is taken, when someone mentions you, and before an event starts - Run history with route, distance, time and calories, and charts of your progress - Cheat protection: every run is checked on the server against speed, distance and movement data, so nobody claims a neighbourhood from a car - Turkish, English and German BACKGROUND LOCATION Koshio needs your location while a run is recording, including when your screen is off or you switch to another app, because the loop has to be tracked without gaps. Continued use of GPS in the background can shorten battery life. Location is only recorded while a run is active, and you can stop it at any time. Koshio is for running outdoors. Watch the traffic, watch your footing, and never enter somewhere unsafe just to claim it. info@koshio.app
