You run.
We coach.
Already on your wrist.
Run or rest? Open it in the morning and today’s answer is already there. Runvis picks your workout from the sleep and heart rate data on your Apple Watch, then speaks up on the run only when it counts.
All you need is an Apple Watch Series 4 or later and an iPhone. Recording is free; you only subscribe for the coach. Launching first on the Korean App Store, with other countries to follow.
What kind of runner are you?
Pick the one that sounds most like you right now. We’ll take you straight to the part you need.
You don’t need
another running watch
People say you need a dedicated watch, like a Garmin or a COROS, to see training load or recovery time. But the sensors behind those numbers are already in the Apple Watch on your wrist.
The sensors are already on your wrist
Heart rate, GPS, cadence, elevation. Newer models also measure ground contact time and vertical oscillation.
The formulas are public
Training load, recovery time, and threshold estimates come from published formulas used widely in sports science. Runvis runs them right on your watch and iPhone.
The missing piece was a coach
Someone to read the numbers, decide what you do today, and talk to you while you run. Runvis fills that spot.
Wake up to today’s workout,
already picked for you
It checks last night’s sleep, HRV, resting heart rate, and yesterday’s training load against your own 28-day range. Then it picks today’s workout and tells you why in one line.
You don’t even have to look at your watch. Say “Hey Siri, what should I run today with Runvis?” and it reads you today’s decision. Ask about your readiness or this week’s plan the same way.
The decision first, the reasons right below
Today’s workout sits at the top of the screen, with the reasons right below it. Everything else is further down, for reference. Tap any number to see what it means, how it’s calculated, and your usual range.
- On an off day, it dials the intensity down and tells you why
- Still want the original workout? You can run it.
- When there’s not enough data, it shows “Learning” instead of a number
All 5 iPhone and 4 Apple Watch screenshots on this page are real captures, taken with the app running in English. The mid-run screens come from an actual run. We’ve kept refining the app since these were taken, so the build you get may be newer than what you see here.
Only what you need,
right when you need it
Every word from the coach starts with something the sensors picked up. Tap to hear the real cues.
Say “Hey Siri, start a run with Runvis” and the run start screen opens right away. Works in all 6 languages.
Press start once. That’s it.Free
The screens, timer, and auto-start are free. The coach’s voice walking you through it all is what the subscription adds.
Weather briefing
“It’s 26 degrees Celsius with 78 percent humidity. Hot and humid — evaporation is working against you.”
Live weather for the neighborhood you’re in right now.
Warm-up
“Hip circles, 20 seconds. Now the other way. Three, two, one.”
A step-by-step timer leads the way. Turn on the coach and it counts along with you.
Just run
“You’ve started running. Recording now.”
Once it picks up your running rhythm at the wrist, it starts recording on its own.
Hear when the coach talks and when it stays quiet in the 5K demo
Once you’re done,
see the why, not just the numbers
Splits, heart rate zones, running dynamics, and a one-line coaching note are free. Subscribe and you also get Coach’s Record Radar, which finds your fastest stretches inside a run, plus a lactate threshold estimate and this week’s distance budget.
Workout detail reportFree
Pace by split, heart rate zone breakdown, average cadence and ground contact time, and one line from your coach about this run.
Body reportFree
Readiness, sleep, HRV, resting heart rate, VO₂ max. Tap one to open its trend chart and your usual 28-day range.
Coach’s Record Radar (fastest segments · PR book)Subscription
Not your finish times. It picks out your fastest 1K, 5K, 10K, and half-marathon stretches from inside your runs over the last 90 days, and shows how they compare with your previous records.
Lactate threshold estimateSubscription
It takes your best 30-minute stretch from at least 2 runs in the last 90 days and estimates your threshold pace and heart rate from them. If you’ve entered your max heart rate, only stretches held at 85% of it or more count.
What if there’s no 30-minute stretch?
Then it uses a 20-minute stretch. If there isn’t one of those either, it estimates from the average of 3 runs of 20 minutes or longer at 85% or more of your max heart rate. That method only works if you’ve entered your max heart rate. Whichever method it uses, the screen always tells you.
Coach’s BrakeSubscription
It sets this week’s distance budget from your last 4 weeks of training. Tell it something hurts, and it trims the budget.
Runvis Fitness IndexSubscription
Worked backward from your fastest splits, your Fitness Index predicts your time at each distance. See it side by side with your Apple Watch VO₂ max.
If it’s an estimate, we say so. Without enough data, a metric stays at “Learning.” Anything we couldn’t stand behind, we left out from the start.
Tap any metric to see it next to your usual range
See at a glance whether today’s number sits inside your usual 28-day range, and how it compares with 4 weeks ago. No need to know the jargon. Every metric comes with what it means and how it’s calculated.
- Training load, the load spike warning (ACWR), and recovery time use published formulas
- Tap Export for AI Analysis on any workout and paste the report into the AI you already use
- GPX export and a 3D flyover video of your route
Week by week to race day.
Segment by segment on the day.
Enter your goal race and goal time, and you get a week-by-week roadmap to race day. It’ll also tell you honestly whether that goal fits your current fitness. Viewing the plan is free. Having the coach lead you through each segment on the watch is part of the subscription.
Pick a coach, and the plan and the tone change with it
Finish First, Balanced, or PR Chase. Pick one, and both your training mix and the coach’s tone on the run change with it. If you’re just starting out, no coach will give you intervals that push too hard.
- Your coach leads every interval segment, then scores you against the plan
- On a rough day, one tap dials the intensity down and reworks the plan
- Back after 14 or more days off? For 2 weeks, weekly distance restarts at 55%→75% of your 4-week average before the break (45%→65% after 28 days or more). The first run is 20 minutes, and week 3 is your usual plan again. “Keep this week as planned” turns it off for that week, and it’s free
- No race times yet? That’s fine. One 12-minute test run on the watch gives you your first plan
A coach who knows the course ahead of time
Load the race course GPX and it knows where the climbs begin before you get there. Send grade-adjusted segment paces and fueling points to your watch, and on race day, just follow the cues.
- One recent result gives you predicted times and goal paces for the 5K, 10K, half, and full marathon
- Run the same course again and your best becomes a ghost, showing how far ahead or behind you are
- From 16 days out, your predicted time factors in the race-day forecast
Real app screens, captured with the app running in English.
No account. No server.
Your coach keeps talking, even in a tunnel.
All recording and analysis happen on your watch and iPhone. Only these things leave your devices: coordinates rounded to about 1 km when checking the weather; your coordinates at that moment, sent to Apple services for your neighborhood name and auto-generated routes; App Store payment processing; and downloads of the public course and shoe list files. Also, for now and on the Korean App Store only, the Shoes screen on your watch or iPhone can open an outside running shoe search page, and only when you tap it yourself. Every exception is spelled out in the privacy policy, and your workout and health data are never uploaded anywhere. Privacy Policy

| MonthlyRenews monthly · cancel anytime | ₩3,900 |

Prices shown are for the Korean App Store. Elsewhere, you’ll pay the local price set by your country’s App Store.
Outside Korea? Here’s a rough idea: ₩3,900 a month is about US$2.80, ₩29,000 a year is about US$21, and the ₩59,000 lifetime pass is about US$43. These are ballpark conversions, not what you’ll be charged.
Other countries’ prices, savings, and break-even math
The conversions above just give you a sense of scale. They’re not what you’ll be charged. Apple doesn’t go by exchange rates. It sets separate price tiers for each country, so the real amount will land a little above or below these. Once other countries’ prices are set, we’ll post the real amounts here. The app’s purchase screen never guesses: it shows exactly the price your store gives it.
Yearly is ₩29,000. On the Korean App Store, that’s about ₩2,417 a month, roughly 38% less than monthly. Other countries use different price tiers, so the ratio may differ, and the app’s purchase screen works out your real savings from your country’s prices. Eligible accounts get a free period on yearly too, but it’s 1 month, same as monthly. Not 1 year. After that 1 month, the full ₩29,000 is charged at once.
Or skip the subscription: a ₩59,000 lifetime pass. It’s a launch price, and if the price goes up later, nothing changes for people who already bought. At Korean App Store prices, it pays for itself in about 2 years compared with the ₩29,000 yearly plan, or about 15 months compared with ₩3,900 monthly. It’s the only plan that works with Apple Family Sharing.

Runvis launches on the Korean App Store first, then in other countries one by one. We’ll set the launch date after the TestFlight beta ends, and you’ll hear it here first. Cancel anytime in your App Store account settings. You keep access for the rest of the current period, and auto-renewal stops after that. Refunds follow Apple’s refund policy.
Before you start
Can I use it without a watch?
Yes. Your iPhone alone records your run with GPS and calls out your split pace every 1 km (every 1 mile if you use miles). Without a subscription, an iPhone-only run gives you those split calls, plus the run-walk switch calls when you run one of the 3 starter guides. With a subscription, the iPhone coaches your pace too, and heart rate zone cues come through only when you connect a Bluetooth heart rate strap (any standard BLE strap, like a Polar H10 or Wahoo TICKR), since the iPhone has no heart rate sensor. Form coaching, hill warnings, and off-route alerts only work when you run with the watch.
Which Apple Watch do I need?
watchOS 10 or later (Apple Watch Series 4 or later) and iOS 17 or later. Heart rate and GPS are all it needs. On newer models that measure ground contact time and vertical oscillation, form coaching gets more detailed. On models that don’t, it coaches from cadence.
What happens to my runs if I cancel?
Your runs stay right where they are, in Apple Health. After you cancel, recording, plan viewing, and the workout detail report stay free.
Can I start with no running history?
Yes. Do one 12-minute test run on the watch and you’ll get estimated 5K and 10K times and your first plan the same day. The test is watch-only. With just an iPhone, you get GPS recording, split pace cues, and plan viewing from day one, and your plan starts from your recent weekly distance. If Apple Health already has your history, the screen right after you connect it shows your last 90 days in real numbers (weekly distance, fastest run, HRV range), and with enough past HRV and 4 weeks of workouts, Readiness and the load spike warning start on day one. With no history, Readiness needs nights of sleep with the watch on, so it usually shows up after about 2 weeks. The load spike warning (ACWR) takes about 4. Efficiency vs Baseline appears once you’ve entered your max heart rate and logged 3 runs over 10 minutes with heart rate, all at the same intensity (easy, moderate, or hard). For the first few, you’re compared against a baseline that doesn’t yet account for intensity or when the reading was taken, and the screen tells you so.
Lifetime or yearly: which is the better deal?
The lifetime pass is a one-time purchase with no auto-renewal. It pays for itself in about 2 years compared with yearly, or about 15 months compared with monthly. If you plan to use Runvis longer than that, lifetime costs less. It’s also the only plan that works with Apple Family Sharing. Monthly and yearly subscriptions aren’t eligible.
What happens when I switch devices?
Your runs are saved in Apple Health, so the Health app on your new device brings them over. What lived only in Runvis (your profile, heart rate zones, shoe list, and the baselines your coach has built) goes into a single file from Settings → Data → “Export my data.” On the new device, bring it back with “Restore from backup.” The file stays wherever you save it. Runvis doesn’t send it anywhere. Your subscription comes back through the App Store with “Restore Purchases.”
Try it first in the beta
Runvis is made by one person. It hasn’t launched, so there are no ratings or press coverage yet. Questions? Email help@runvis.app. I write the replies myself.
Leave your email and we’ll send you one invite when the TestFlight beta opens. Once the opening date is set, we’ll post it here first and email you too.
