Most runners run every run too fast, then stall or get hurt. Smart Runner gives each run a pace and a purpose: easy days easy, hard days that count.

Three steps. That's it.

  1. Tell it where you are.

    One recent race, or just how much you run each week.

  2. Training plan screen with a week of easy runs, intervals, a long run and rest days

    Get your plan.

    Week by week to race day, around the days you can run.

  3. Apple Watch showing live pace of 6:37 per km inside the target pace band

    Run with it on your wrist.

    Live target pace on Apple Watch, stage by stage.

Know why every run matters.

Good questions.

Is it a subscription or a one-time purchase?

Your choice. Pay once with the lifetime purchase and keep the app forever, or pay yearly. Both include every future update.

Is there a free trial?

Yes. The first 14 days are fully unlocked: your plan, the Apple Watch app and every insight. No account or email needed.

I'm a beginner. Is this too advanced for me?

No. Volume-building mode is made for new and returning runners. Tell it how much you run each week, even a few kilometres, and the plan grows with you. No race result needed.

Does it work with Apple Watch?

Yes, natively. Live pace, heart rate and zone on your wrist, with structured workouts guided stage by stage. Runs sync back to your iPhone automatically.

Where is my data stored?

On your iPhone. There is no Smart Runner account, no cloud sync and no server of ours. Past runs are imported from Apple Health. Why on-device matters.

Does it sync with Garmin, Coros or Strava?

Not directly. If your Garmin or Coros writes workouts to Apple Health, Smart Runner picks them up automatically. There is no Strava integration.
