The path and the album
Show up. Reflect.
ZenRun lives in two places: the path you take, and the album you keep. Every feature on this page belongs to one of them — if it doesn't, it shouldn't exist.
The path
Show up.
The act. The rhythm. The shoes-on, out-the-door, log-it-when-you're-back side of running. ZenRun stays quiet so you can stay present — your watch, your phone, and your breath, all working together to make the run easy to start.
Run Logging
Run for the moment. Keep the rest in the journal.
The photo run
GPS from your phone or wrist. Stop on the bridge, take the photo, keep going. ZenRun drops it on your route at the right km, and the album builds itself.
Or just log it in 2 seconds
No phone? No watch? Pick your distance, type the time, done. The journal accepts a fast log as gladly as a photo run.
9 Distances
1K through 21K — 1K, 2K, 3K, 5K, 8K, 10K, 15K, 18K, and 21K. Outdoor or treadmill. Pick the one that fits your day.
Backdate & Edit
Forgot to log? Add runs from previous days. Made a mistake? Edit distance, time, or category anytime. Your log, your rules.
Apple Watch Companion
A quiet wrist. GPS captured in the background.
One-Tap Start
Open the watch app, pick walk or run, tap once. ZenRun records the route, syncs to your phone when you're back, and gets out of the way.
Background GPS
Your route is traced and saved without you having to look at your wrist. The line of where you went is yours forever.
A quiet companion
Distance, time, heart rate captured calmly on your wrist. The data lands in the journal afterwards, ready when you are.
Walks
Walks are first-class. Show up however you can.
Walks as Real Activities
Same logging flow. Same scenic photos. Same maps and recaps. Walks count toward your rhythm, your goals, and your story.
On the Bad-Weather Days
When a run isn't happening, a walk still is. ZenRun protects your rhythm by treating both with equal respect.
Rhythm & Goals
We reward showing up, not showing off.
Weekly Rhythm
Run or walk at least twice a week to keep your rhythm going. Not pace. Not distance. Just presence. Miss a week? It's a pause — you come back.
Monthly & Yearly Goals
Set your own km targets. A simple progress bar shows where you are and where you should be. No judgement.
Quiet Celebrations
A small moment of confetti when you keep your rhythm or unlock a milestone. No fanfare. No leaderboard. Just a nod from the app to the runner.
The album
Reflect.
The journal. The photos you took at km 4. The map of where you went. The slow, occasional looking-back that turns runs into a story. Numbers live here too — pace, heart rate, zones, energy, VO₂ Max — all kept, all available, all read like journal entries.
Scenic Photos
Remember the views, not just the numbers.
Tag Photos to Km Markers
Snap a photo during your outdoor run, tag it to a km marker. Build a visual record of the places you ran through.
Scenic Runs Gallery
Browse all your scenic runs in one beautiful album. Full-screen photos, captions, and a timeline of each run's journey.
Photo-Walks of Your Route
See every photo placed along the line of your run. A visual timeline from start to finish, for every run you photographed.
Add Photos After
Forgot to take photos in the moment? Pick from your camera roll later — ZenRun smartly tags each one to where it was taken on your route.
Maps & Routes
Every line you traced, kept.
Run & Walk Maps
Every GPS-tracked activity gets a map you can revisit. The shape of your morning loop. The unfamiliar park you wandered through. The city you ran in on holiday.
Distance, Time, Elevation
The fundamentals, recorded automatically. Pace per km when you want it. Elevation gain for the hill days.
Heart Rate & Energy
Recorded by your watch. Read like a journal entry.
Heart Rate Summary
Average HR, max HR, and time-in-zone for each run — captured by your Apple Watch, served back in the post-run summary. Nothing to manage mid-run.
Zones as Colour
A simple stacked bar shows where your heart spent the run — recovery, aerobic, tempo, threshold, VO₂. An honest picture, read like a journal entry.
VO₂ Max
Read directly from Apple Health, shown quietly on your Watch and in your profile. A long-arc fitness signal, not a number to optimise this morning.
Active Energy
Calories burned during your run, recorded by HealthKit. Available when you want it, never shouted at you.
Recaps & Records
Your journey, marked the way you want to remember it.
Month in Review
A Spotify-Wrapped-style carousel at the end of each month. Distance, runs, pace, rhythm, scenic photos, and goals — one swipe-through story on warm gradient slides.
Quarter in Review
Every three months, a full-screen recap of the season. Total km, run breakdown, consistency, PRs, scenic moments, and more.
Personal Records
Your fastest at each distance, tracked automatically. There when you want to see it. The opponent is yourself, the way you used to be — never the runner three streets over.
100 Milestones
Across distance, first completions, rhythm, and goals. Each badge celebrates a marker in your own journey.
Two scales of community
Friends close. Neighbours nearby.
Circles for the people you know. The neighbourhood for the city you run in. Both opt-in, both about places celebrated and people encouraged.
Circles
Up to 10 close friends. Runs, scenic photos, reactions. The kitchen table of your running life — accountability with warmth.
- · The real you
- · Full activity feed
- · Reactions and encouragement
- · Web profile, sharable on your terms
The neighbourhood
Find fellow ZenRunners in your city. Share an album, save someone else's, run it yourself. Discovery, not ranking.
- · A handle, not your real name
- · Albums opt-in per run
- · Saves and "I ran this!"
- · Pinterest of beautiful runs near you
