What it does

RunPlan is a free, Apple Watch-first running coach. Complete, periodized plans from 5K to marathon following the classic methodologies (Daniels, Pfitzinger, Higdon) — they run entirely from the wrist: live intervals, pace targets, haptic cues, no iPhone needed on the run. Paces come from a race you've actually run. No subscription, no account, no ads. Nine languages. The plan engine is open source.

Get personalized training plans designed specifically for Apple Watch. No account needed — just run.

Every workout is designed with purpose — based on pace and heart rate zones, so you always train at the right intensity and avoid burnout. Absolutely. We offer plans for every level—from beginner 5K to advanced Half Marathon preparation. Because the plans are based on your personal heart rate and pace zones, the intensity is always tailored to your current fitness level. The app uses your real-time heart rate and pace zones. Your Apple Watch will alert you if you’re pushing too hard or falling behind your target, ensuring you stay in the correct zone for optimal gains without the burnout. No. Run Plan is designed as a standalone experience for the Apple Watch. The watch handles interval…from runplan.app

    Ran 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.

    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.

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  • Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

  • Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
