The only person you're chasing is the one you were last Tuesday. And you'll know exactly where they are the whole way. RACE YOUR PAST SELF • Every recorded run is saved as a ghost you can race any time • A live gap shows whether you're ahead or behind, meter by meter • Hear it happen: spoken splits, pace, and the moment your ghost passes you • Save your favorite routes as loops and build a library of rivals TRACK IT ANYWHERE • Outdoor GPS with map-matched routes and elevation • Treadmill mode: race indoors with no GPS, using your own calibrated stride • Rides and swims import from Apple Health — pace in min/100m for the pool • Apple Watch app: start a run, walk, or pool swim and see your ghost gap on your wrist • Auto-pause when you stop, auto-resume when you go SEE YOURSELF GET FASTER • Weekly and monthly trends, training load, best weeks, longest runs • Run streaks with rest days that don't break the chain • Elevation profiles and 3D route views • Personal records that only compare like with like — a bike ride never fakes a running PR RUN WITH YOUR CREW • Add friends and see their step counts on a live club leaderboard • Create step challenges — daily, weekly, monthly • Send a ghost to a friend so they can race your loop on their own feet • Ghost runners fill out the board so it stays competitive from day one YOUR DATA, YOUR CALL • Export any activity as GPX; import your history from other apps • Shared route images hide the start and end of your run • Detailed Health records stay on your device; only daily step totals and challenge progress sync to people you accept Outmove yesterday.
