Since some time I had an issue with my running app, as more and more stuff was locked behind a monthly paywall. Plus certain things were missing, so I created my own: taperwise.

You can check out the full feature set here: https://taperwise.run
Basically what does it offer in comparison to other apps:
- You get all insights in one screen
- Setting upper and lower limits during your run with haptics (Like: "Hey your pace/heart rate is too high, slow down" via haptics or speech)
- Offline support - no data is sent to a server. It can utilize Apple Intelligence (if enabled). Also: No Account needed. Apple Health is storing data, not me.
- Create a 10k, Half- or Marathon plan
- Heat Map of your runs
- You can see where fountains, toilets or the next bus stop home is
- Keeping track of when you should drink / have a gel
- ...
What does it cost?#
taperwise is a one-time purchase of 5 USD/CHF/EUR. No subscription, no “Pro” tier, no ads, and no account. You pay once and get everything listed above, including future updates. Buying it directly supports me. The one-time purchase is the only way the app makes any money.
