Just track the run. No coaches, feeds, or AI.

Run tracking without the baggage.

What matters

Start, move, stop. Done.

Everything inside Strider is designed around a single flow: get out the door and capture the run. No goals to set, no coaches to dismiss, no feeds to scroll.

Voice updates

Distance and pace in a calm voice so you can keep the phone in your pocket.

Live Activity

Progress and controls pinned to your lock screen.

Widget

Today’s distance and pace at a glance.

Apple Watch soon

Native wrist tracking is on the way.

Why it’s different

Minimal by design

Only the controls you need: start, pause, stop. Every other toggle is hidden unless it makes your run clearer.

Light on your phone

Small install size, gentle battery use, fast cold starts — so you never think about the app, just the run.

Private by default

No social graph, no ads, no surprise prompts. Your runs stay yours.

Ready

Strider keeps tracking simple.

Tap start and run. We’ll handle the calm updates and keep your lock screen alive.
