Training data. On your wrist. Off the cloud.
Design your own watch screens on iPhone, run them on Apple Watch, and write every session straight into Apple Health. No account. No cloud. No analytics.
Built like an instrument, not a social network.
Runara is for athletes who want precise, legible training data without surrendering it to a platform. Everything happens on your devices, your settings live on your iPhone, your workouts live in Apple Health, and nothing is ever sent to a Runara server, because there isn't one.
Privacy by design
No account, no login, no cloud sync. No analytics SDKs, no ads, no third-party trackers. The App Store privacy label reads "Data Not Collected".
Offline by default
Maps, routes, plans, and settings all work without a signal. Export map tiles on iPhone and the watch keeps drawing your route on the worst trail.
Configure everything
Seven layout templates, thirty-four widget types, five visual styles. Build the exact watch screens you want and run them live during a workout.
Deep Apple Health
Reads your heart rate and routes, writes complete workouts back with per-segment splits, so Apple Health, Fitness, and any HealthKit app see exactly what your watch did.
See it before you run it
Twenty-eight seconds through the iPhone app, recorded straight off the device: the Watch-Screens gallery, a screen restyled live through its five looks, then training plans and offline maps with synced routes.
Everything you need to train
Seventeen focused features, each doing one thing precisely.
Custom Workout Screens
Design your own Apple Watch workout screens: seven layouts, thirty-four data fields and widgets, five visual styles.
→Live Workout Display
Your configured screens render on Apple Watch with real-time metrics, GPS, and haptics, legible at a glance under load.
→Auto Pause
Runs, rides, walks and hikes pause themselves when you stop and resume the moment you move again, tuned per sport, on by default.
→Apple Health Sync
Reads your heart rate and routes, writes complete workouts back with per-segment splits and energy.
→Interval Training Plans
Build interval workouts on iPhone with pace targets per step, then follow them with a slim on-watch header.
→Offline Maps
Save a map area on iPhone and your Apple Watch shows it anywhere, with no signal and no phone.
→Fifteen sports, one instrument
From road running to open-water swimming, each sport tracks exactly the metrics that matter.
A complete round-trip with Apple Health
Runara reads your resting and peak heart rate to anchor your zones, and writes a full HKWorkout back when you finish, route polyline, heart-rate samples, distance, active energy, and per-segment splits.
