All features of the running tracker at a glance
What RunArc can do, on which device – and what is included in Premium.
GPS run tracking with live stats
One tap starts recording. During your run you see distance, time, current and average pace, calories, steps and elevation. Afterward, every run is in your history with a map, splits and details.
- Auto-pause when you stop (can be turned off)
- Miles or kilometers
- Shareable image of your run
- Pace and elevation chart plus GPX export with Premium
- iPhone
- Apple Watch
- Android
Voice cues and interval training
RunArc reads out your time, distance and pace – by distance (1, 2, 3, 5 km or a custom value) or by time (5, 10, 15, 30 or 60 minutes). In the interval planner you build run, walk and sprint phases by time or distance; the app announces every change.
- Templates: couch to 5K, tempo, pyramid
- Save your own plans
- Countdown before the start
- iPhone
- Android
Plan and save running routes
Drop waypoints on the map, close the loop and see the distance before you head out. On iPhone, the planner follows walkable paths and suggests places nearby; on Android it connects the points in a straight line.
- 3 favorite routes free, unlimited with Premium
- Run a saved route again with one tap
- iPhone
- Android
Weekly goal, challenges and ranks
Set a weekly goal between 5 and 150 km (about 3 to 93 miles); the home screen shows how much is left until Sunday. Challenges earn XP that take you from Beginner through Runner and Athlete to Pro Runner and Marathon Athlete. Streaks and badges mark real milestones.
- 1 active challenge free, 3 at once with Premium
- Pro Runner and Marathon Athlete ranks with Premium
- iPhone
- Android
Stats, history and personal bests
The weekly stats show distance, time and pace at a glance, and the history lists every single run. RunArc detects personal bests automatically.
- Free: week (plus one week back), last 10 runs, personal bests for 1 km and 5 km
- Premium: month, year, all time, full history, personal bests for 10K and half marathon
- iPhone
- Android
Apple Watch: run without your iPhone
The watch app starts a run right from your wrist and records GPS, heart rate, pace and calories – even if your iPhone stays at home. Afterward, the run shows up in the app. A watch face complication shows your weekly distance.
- Apple Watch
Apple Health and friends
On iPhone, RunArc can save your runs to Apple Health if you want. With Sign in with Apple, you invite friends by code and compare weekly and monthly distance. Cloud sync for your runs comes with Premium.
- iPhone
Lock screen, widgets and reminders
During your run you see the key numbers on the lock screen – as a Live Activity with Dynamic Island on iPhone, as a notification with pause and stop on Android. Widgets show your weekly distance, and a daily reminder helps you stay consistent.
