What it does

Four screens, one coach

Scroll: the phone follows. Each screen is the real app, not a render.

01 / 04During the run

Your pace, read like a dashboard

One glance: current pace, the target band for this rep and how far until it ends. The screen stays legible in direct sun and through a sweaty thumb.

  • Target band turns amber 5 s before you drift out
  • Lock screen widget with auto-lap
02 / 04Every week

A plan that moves when your week does

Missed Tuesday’s intervals? Tempo slides the week instead of piling it up, and keeps the long run where you can actually do it.

  • Drag a session to another day
  • Calendar sync with your work week
03 / 04In your ears

A coach who talks only when it matters

Short voice cues at the start of a rep, at halfway and when you’re fading — never over the chorus. Recorded by a real coach in English and Turkish.

  • Ducks your music instead of pausing it
  • Three voices, three levels of chatter
04 / 04The morning after

Readiness before you lace up

Sleep, resting heart rate and last week’s load become one number. Below 60, today’s tempo becomes an easy run — and the plan explains why.

  • Reads your watch’s sleep data
  • No streaks, no guilt badges

From the stores

Written after the run, not before

  • First plan that survived a two-week work trip. It just moved everything and told me which run to skip.

    Elif KaracaHalf marathon, 1:52
  • The voice cues are the right amount. I hear the coach three times per rep, not every 30 seconds.

    Marco Bellini10K, 47:20
  • Readiness turned my Thursday tempo into an easy run twice. Annoying both times, right both times.

    Selin AydınMarathon, first one
  • Our club of 22 runs on Crew. Everyone sees the Saturday route and I stopped sending PDFs.

    Okan DemirtaşRun club captain, Kadıköy
  • Week 8 of First 5K. I ran the whole thing. I am 44 and I did not think this was for me.
