Looks great. I'm abit worried about it being free, though. People that take on arduous tasks for free tend to get tired of it after some time.

Open source helps a lot here, though, so I'm not too worried. Source is here, fwiw: https://github.com/timfraedrich/OutRun

Edit: Looks like the project is abandoned. So, yeah, maybe it should have costed a couple of bucks.

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.

I’m really interested in this, but it looks like it hasn’t been worked on in a while and there are some crash reports on the iOS store reviews.

I would love if Apple built some of this in native apps.

I do like sharing runs with a small group of friends.

Where do you see it was abandoned?

I've been using OpenTracks and Nextcloud for this purpose. The UI is pretty basic and the elevation not accurate, but mostly gets the job done.

Would love to have a TUI for something like this.

On Android, have a look at GadgetBridge https://gadgetbridge.org/gadgets/
