Race against a real benchmark, from you or a friend. Ghost turns a previous activity into a live reference, so you can see whether you are ahead or behind while you run. Choose a distance and pace goal or a ghost, start moving, and let the gap guide you. DURING EVERY ACTIVITY • Choose a distance and pace goal, or challenge a saved activity. • Check your gap and progress on iPhone. • Use Apple Watch to start, pause, and finish without reaching for your phone. • Hear spoken updates during the activity, including each kilometre split. • Check time, distance, pace, heart rate, and elevation when available. AFTER YOU FINISH • See the result at a comparable distance. • Review your activity history and saved references. • Discover records, trophies, and milestones earned from eligible activities. • Share your ghost through your usual apps so someone else can challenge it in Ghost. LOCAL PRIVACY Ghost does not require an account or a server. Your activities, settings, and library are stored on your device. The app uses GPS to measure the activity, motion data to help interpret the session, and HealthKit to read available fitness metrics; Apple Watch records the workout when you start from the watch. Audio is used for activity guidance. Ghost does not sell your data and has no ads. Sharing a ghost is optional: the file is sent through the app you choose and is handled according to that app’s policies. Ghost is a fitness tool. It does not provide medical diagnosis or treatment.
