I see Open-source, but I'm not able to find any link to a repo anywhere on that page. And while it's not as popular as I think it should be, there is a project already called outrun ( https://github.com/Overv/outrun ), the domains are different so it might not matter much. Edit: Nevermind perbu provided the source link and the both projects appear to be stale anyways.

Very nice but last update was 3y ago so not going to survive Apple's "break backward compatibility like it's 1999" approach. A lot of these apps that come with fitness hardware are free these days (i.e., Wahoo bike computer, Garmin watch) so there's less of a need for something like this. But nevertheless kudos for making it FOSS.

Free, but sadly not privacy-oriented. Garmin is pretty horrible with its Cloud pushing.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Apple native app is called fitness. You can share workouts.

Can you record a run in there somewhere? Might just be bad googling, but I can’t see an option just using the phone.

Ah no I think you need a watch. Or at least that’s what I use.

Maybe that’s a good enough reason for me to get one.

Strava works, but I just don’t like how much they try to push on you. I just want to track runs and PRs and encourage my friends.

I highly recommend. Personally I have the one without LTE, can store music, podcast & audiobooks and leave the phone home. Apple pay also works for the occasional stop at grocery before going back home. Once you start tracking running, you’ll get addicted to track every other workout, I definitely doubled+ the amount of activity I do just thanks to the gamification aspect.
