Runara

Runara is a native iOS + watchOS workout companion for runners,
cyclists, and multi-sport athletes who want serious training data
without surrendering it to a cloud platform.

CONFIGURED ON IPHONE, RUN ON YOUR WATCH

Build a personal dashboard of swipeable watch screens - Hero, Stack,
Split, Triad, Quad, Penta, or Dense layouts - and drop the metrics
you care about into each slot: current pace, distance, elapsed time,
heart rate, HR-zone band, elevation, charts, or a live map of your
route. Pick a solid background or a live offline map.

Pick your favorite workout types from a 15-sport catalog - from
running and cycling to swimming, strength, yoga, and skiing.

DEEP APPLE HEALTH INTEGRATION

Runara talks to Apple Health both ways. It reads your resting and
peak heart rate to anchor your training zones (Tanaka or Karvonen
formula, your pick), and reads route geometry for past workouts so
the History tab can map them.

When you finish a session, Runara writes a complete HKWorkout back -
route polyline, heart-rate samples, distance, active energy,
per-segment splits with distance metadata - so Apple Health, Apple
Fitness, and any third-party HealthKit reader see the same workout
the watch did.

OFFLINE MAPS, NO CLOUD

Export map tiles for a region on the iPhone (Apple Maps source),
sync them to the watch over WatchConnectivity, and your map widget
keeps drawing even on the worst trail with no signal.

STRUCTURED INTERVAL WORKOUTS

Build training plans on iPhone - warm-up, work / recovery sets,
cool-down, freeform steps - with optional pace targets and HR
zones. Sync to the watch's plan picker. The watch shows a slim
interval header during the run: current step purpose, progress
bar, remaining time / distance, next step preview, manual "Next"
for open-ended steps.

ACHIEVEMENTS - THE TROPHY PERCH

Eighty achievements across every sport: an unbroken 1–15 km
running ladder up to the marathon, cumulative distances, counts,
week streaks, Early Bird, Night Owl. Every cup wears its own
engraving, every unlock plays its own parrot celebration, and the
trophy room filters by sport and status. Retroactive - and honest:
only Runara-recorded workouts count, and deleted workouts take
their trophies with them.

TRAINING LOAD

A daily fitness / fatigue / form chart (CTL, ATL, TSB on the TRIMP
load model) in the History tab, with a draggable day cursor.

SPOKEN AUDIO CUES (OPT-IN)

The watch can speak your splits - "one kilometre, five minutes
twelve" - your zone crossings, and your interval boundaries.
Bilingual English + German voices, all on-device via
AVSpeechSynthesizer. Off by default; ducks like Siri. An optional
switch (toggle per workout on the watch) plays sounds through
Silent Mode.

iOS LIVE ACTIVITY

While a workout is running on the watch, your iPhone Lock Screen
and Dynamic Island show a live banner with elapsed time, distance,
pace, and heart rate - updated through WatchConnectivity, never
through the cloud.

PRIVACY BY DESIGN

- No account. No login. No cloud sync.
- No analytics SDK. No ads. No trackers.
- No third-party services beyond Apple's own.
- Your settings live in SwiftData on your iPhone, encrypted by iOS.
- Your workouts live in Apple Health.
- Diagnostic telemetry is off by default; if you turn it on, it
records local MetricKit payloads only - nothing leaves your phone
until you tap Share yourself.

DISTINCTIVE BY DESIGN

Runara is built on the "Athletic Editorial" aesthetic - opaque,
condensed, instrument-grade numerals on top of Liquid Glass chrome.
One signal accent per screen. Editorial restraint, designed for
legibility at a glance during hard efforts.

- iPhone running iOS 26 or later
- Apple Watch running watchOS 26 or later (iPhone-only use works
