Your runs stay yours.

Strider is built around a simple promise: we track your runs and nothing else. No ads, no social graphs, no data brokers. Just pure, private run tracking that respects your privacy.

Local-first storage

All your run data stays on your device. No cloud storage required.

No tracking

No analytics, no ads, no third-party data sharing. Ever.

What we collect

We access GPS location only when you explicitly start a run. Location tracking stops immediately when you end your run. We don't track your location when Strider is closed or when you're not actively running.

Run Metrics

Distance, pace, time, elevation, and calculated statistics. All processed locally on your device to provide real-time feedback and run history.

Device Information

iOS version and app version for compatibility and performance optimization. This is standard system information, not personally identifiable.

How we use your information
