Runo 2.0
I built Runo after years of inconsistent marathon training. GPS watches tell you your pace AFTER it's too late. So I made a simple metronome that plays a beat at your target cadence (steps per minute). New in 2.0: Apple Watch haptics (run to the beat without headphones), Strava sync, and social features. 4.7 on App Store, 10k+ runners. Would love feedback from the HN community.
Runo 2.0 launched on January 27, 2026 with 132 votes, #242 of 14,585 launches that month and more than 95% of that year's launches.
What it does
Runo turns pace into rhythm. Set your cadence (120-220 SPM), put in your earbuds, and run to the beat. No more pace drift. Why cadence matters: • Reduces impact forces and injury risk • Improves running economy by up to 10% • Maintains form when fatigue hits What's new: • Apple Watch haptic beats (no headphones needed) • Social features: friends & leaderboards • Strava sync • Treadmill mode Built by marathon runners tired of inconsistent pacing. 4.7★ on App Store | 10,000+ runners
Stop overstriding. Runo's running metronome trains your cadence so you run more efficiently, with less effort, and fewer injuries. Free on iOS & Android.
The running metronome that turns your target cadence into an audible beat. Set your pace, hear the rhythm, run without watching your wrist. Research shows that a cadence around 180 steps per minute reduces impact forces, improves efficiency, and helps prevent common injuries. Runo makes it simple to train your body to find that perfect rhythm. Most runners know their target pace. Few can actually hold it. Runo bridges that gap with a simple idea: turn pace into rhythm. Tired of starting strong and fading? Runo turns your target pace into an audible rhythm your body can lock into. No more constant adjustments—just smooth, steady miles from the first step to the last. Stop breaking your…from runoapp.com

Smart RunnerJun 2026 · runnerapp.pro · ▲94Ran my first marathon. Didn’t want to keep paying so much for Runna. So I built a running coach app, and then kept improving it more and more, i think it’s pretty good now. Give it a try and share your thoughts.
CadenceSync2025 · erichamiter.com · ▲7I love running to music but most songs are always just slightly too slow or too fast. Finding one that matches your exact cadence always feels awesome, and I thought-- there should be an app for that. So this is an attempt to make that happen for any song you have. Still ironing out some kinks here and there, but seems to work pretty well. TestFlight build available if you want to give it a shot.

Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
