75 days. Five daily tasks. Miss one — you start over at Day 1. Bring your squad. Your record is server-stamped and restarts broadcast automatically — the one challenge app where nobody can fake it. Lock in. THE FIVE TASKS • One real workout — any type, minimum 45 minutes • Follow your diet — no cheat meals, no alcohol • Drink your water • Read 10 pages • Take your progress photo WHY UNBROKEN WORKS WHEN APPS WITH GENTLE STREAKS DON'T Because it does discipline the hard way. The day ends at midnight — done or not done. No streak freezes. No "repair" purchases. No editing yesterday. RUN IT WITH YOUR SQUAD • Squads (up to 10): a live board, a ledger of receipts, restarts broadcast automatically — you can't curate your story • Pact squad — the hardest mode, built for two: fates linked. If one of you breaks, you BOTH restart, with the cause on the record. Your accountability partner, with teeth. • Blind reveal: their day stays sealed until you seal yours • Late logs get flagged. Honesty is the feature. • No friends doing it? Join a season squad and start Monday together. BUILT LIKE A TOOL, NOT A TOY • Your pact on one grid — every day a brick: kept, missed, or still to come • Pick your pact: any length up to 100 days — classic hard rules or a softer track • Attempt history — every run, every restart, every comeback • Progress photos stay ON YOUR DEVICE. Never uploaded. • Home-screen widget with both of you on it, Watch app, Live Activities • Reminders that respect you: one evening nudge, quiet hours, no spam UNBROKEN PRO Create squads, link fates, set your own pact length and rules. Keep the whole ledger — every attempt, every day, the full photo Wall with timelapse export. See The Pattern: which day, which task, which weakness ends your runs. Watermark-free share cards, data export, Face ID photo lock. Monthly, annual, or lifetime. Health note: Unbroken is a motivational tracker, not medical advice. Consult a professional before starting an intense training and diet program. Your excuses expire at midnight. Start Day 1.

RunTrace

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?
