Private by architecture. Useful by design.

The running app that doesn't want your running data.

Set a target pace. Feel a quiet haptic cue when you drift. Finish your run without creating an account, feeding a social network or sending RunPrivate your route.

The Private Pace Standard

Eyes up. Pace steady. Data yours.

Most running apps begin with an account. RunPrivate begins with your target pace—and ends when your run ends.

01

Set the run you actually want

Choose min/km or min/mi, a precise tolerance in seconds and a warm-up period. Walking counts too.

02

Let your wrist do the talking

One haptic pattern says ease off. Another says push on. No coach in your ear, no screen-watching required.

03

Know when you're on pace

A rolling average filters out GPS noise. The whole screen confirms your status at a glance: warming up, slow, on pace or fast.

RunPrivate watches your pace—and, on Apple Watch, your heart-rate zone—so you can watch the road. Inside your target band, it does absolutely nothing. Drift out, feel one unmistakable signal, correct naturally, and return to silence.

Privacy proof, not privacy theatre

If a company never receives your run, it cannot profile it, leak it or sell it.

RunPrivate has no user-account system and no backend for collecting workouts. Your route, pace and health data are not uploaded to RunPrivate. Ever.

01

No identity required

No name, email, login, profile or follower graph.

02

Free means free—forever

No purchase price, subscriptions, in-app purchases, ads or donation requests. We will never charge you to use RunPrivate.

03

Sharing starts off

Every supported health-data category defaults to off. You decide what may be written to Apple Health.

04

No accidental history

A run exists in memory, appears in your summary, then disappears from RunPrivate when you leave it.

Deliberately less

A running tool, not another digital obligation.

RunPrivate leaves out

  • Social feeds and leaderboards
  • Challenges designed for engagement
  • Cloud workout history
  • Behavioural analytics
  • Subscription nags

So it can focus on

  • Your target pace
  • Quiet, understandable haptics
  • Live pace adjustment
  • Walk/run summaries
  • Your consent, every time

Why I built it

“I did not need another place to perform my run. I needed one private number to keep me moving.”

After a difficult break-up, poor diet, weight gain and diagnoses of type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure, I started walking. Then running. Over 12 months, alongside changing how I ate, I lost 35lb and put both conditions into remission.

RunPrivate grew from that experience—not as medical advice, but as a quiet tool for people who want movement without the audience.
