The data is yours. The answers are Runnerd’s. Readiness, form curve and running economy. From Apple Health, for every run you have ever done.
Apple Health knows that you ran. Runnerd knows what the run did to you. And what that means for tomorrow. What your Health data holds.
Runnerd records nothing. It reads what is already in Apple Health. Runnerd turns it into training insight.
Serious running analysis has lived almost exclusively on the phone. Runnerd is a real native Mac app, not an iPhone app passed through. Years of training at a glance, with room for charts, splits and long trends.
Coach, calendar, performance, analysis, log. Each view answers a question runners actually ask.
Every morning the readiness score shows how fit you are for load, from HRV, resting heart rate, sleep and training load. No guesswork. Your numbers.
A season timeline instead of loose training days: phases, weekly volume and race goals. Every run has its place, every week its purpose.
The performance management chart shows fitness, fatigue and form from your entire history. Plus personal bests, volume and streak.
The analysis tab breaks down your running economy: running power, aerobic efficiency, 80/20 intensity mix and TRIMP. Every term is explained.
Map, splits, heart rate zones, pace, elevation. Runnerd detects seven run types automatically. You set the race yourself.
Shoe mileage, personal bests, running partners, your weekly structure. No separate view, no headline feature. Simply there, because it belongs.
Every run is classified automatically, by effort curve, heart rate profile and pace distribution. You tag nothing.
Runnerd calculates with methods from training science, not from marketing. Every value has a name, a formula and an origin. And you can look them up.
CTL is your long-term fitness, ATL your current load, TSB your form today, computed daily from your runs.
Your heart rate zones from your personal resting and maximum heart rate, not from a one-size-fits-all table.
You enter your last race time. Runnerd tells you how fast easy, tempo and interval should be for you.
10 km easy and 6 × 1000 m intervals are not the same. TRIMP makes them comparable: volume and intensity in one number.
No email, no password. Just download and run.
No analysis of your behaviour. Apple’s privacy label says: data not collected.
No Runnerd server. Sync between iPhone and Mac runs exclusively through your private iCloud.
Runnerd is free and stays free. Pro unlocks the full analysis depth. Paid once, one purchase for iPhone and Mac.
Like Runnerd? Inside the app you can support me voluntarily. As a thank you there’s a collectible yearly orb. It unlocks nothing.
Three things. First: a real native Mac app, not an iPhone app passed through, serious running analysis on the big screen. Second: no AI, but named models from training science that you can look up. Third: a one-time purchase instead of a subscription, one purchase for both devices.
No. Runnerd records nothing itself. It reads your runs from Apple Health. Recording is handled by your Apple Watch or any app that writes to Apple Health.
Yes, Runnerd reads from Apple Health. If you record runs with another app and they land in Health, Runnerd works. Heart-rate-based analyses need HR data. The Apple Watch delivers it most reliably.
No. Runnerd uses the Banister model for training load, the Karvonen formula for heart rate zones and Daniels VDOT for pace predictions. All algorithms have names and foundations. No machine learning, no black box. The texts from your coach are not AI either. The sentences are written by hand, your numbers decide which one appears. Sometimes one repeats.
A value between 0 and 100 showing how ready you are for load today. It is calculated from four factors: HRV (30%), resting heart rate (20%), sleep (25%) and TSB from the PMC (25%). It gets more precise with more data.
In your iCloud. Runnerd has no server of its own. Your run data comes from Apple Health; syncing between iPhone and Mac runs exclusively through your private iCloud (CloudKit), encrypted via Apple’s infrastructure.
There is no Health app on the Mac, so your runs are not there. The Runnerd iPhone app reads them from Health and syncs them to the Mac via your private iCloud. On the Mac you then get the big screen for analysis.
Runnerd is free and stays free. Pro unlocks the full analysis depth: a one-time €8.99, one purchase for iPhone and Mac. No subscription.
German and English, in the app and on this site. Runnerd is available worldwide on the App Store.
I always wanted to look at my running data on the Mac. Not in passing on a phone, but properly and in detail, on a screen big enough to hold several years side by side.
Since nothing like that existed, I first built myself a local HTML/JS application that could read the Apple Health export. It ran in the browser on my own machine and answered exactly one question: how is my form developing over time? Runnerd grew out of that.
