If you've connected Strava, the run uploads on its own when you finish. It's optional: turn it on once, off again whenever.

Connect Apple Health and route timing is based on your own pace, so a 30-minute route really takes you 30 minutes.

Common questions

FAQ

Is Random Run free?

Yes, completely free. There are no subscriptions, in-app purchases, or ads, and every feature is included from day one.

Does Random Run work on Apple Watch?

Yes. Random Run runs on its own on Apple Watch, so you can generate routes, follow the turn-by-turn directions, and track the whole run from your wrist without bringing your phone along.

Does Random Run upload runs to Strava?

Yes. There's an optional Strava integration on both iPhone and Apple Watch. It's off by default; once you turn it on, every finished run uploads automatically, and you can turn it back off anytime.

Does Random Run track my location or collect my data?

Your location and your routes never leave your device. Route generation happens locally, and there are no accounts or ad tracking. We do collect anonymous, aggregated usage signals (like how many people finish onboarding) through TelemetryDeck, with no identifiers, GPS, or route data attached. Strava integration is optional and off by default. Our privacy policy has the full details.

Is there an Android version?

Not yet. Random Run is iOS only for now, but if you'd like an Android version, let us know — knowing people want it helps us decide what to build next.

How does the route generation work?

You tell Random Run how far or how long you want to run, and it generates three loop routes that start and end at your current location. Since version 2.0, every route is a true loop that never retraces a street, so you won't get an out-and-back in disguise. If you connect Apple Health, route timing is based on your own running pace.

Can I auto-upload my runs to Strava?

Yes. Connect Strava once in Settings and every finished run uploads on its own. Your phone sends runs directly to Strava, so we never see them, and you can disconnect anytime from Settings or from Strava's app permissions page.

Does Random Run support run/walk intervals?

Yes. There are built-in Galloway-style run/walk intervals: set your run and walk durations, and the app announces each switch with a voice cue and a haptic tap on both iPhone and Apple Watch. The interval cues are timed so they don't talk over the turn-by-turn voice guidance.

Can I plan a running route somewhere other than my current location?

Yes. Pick any starting point on the map (a hotel, an office, a trailhead) and Random Run generates loop routes from there. It's handy for planning tomorrow's run the night before, especially when you're travelling.

What happens if I go off route during a run?

The app notices when you've drifted off course and reroutes you back to your loop, updating the map, directions, and voice guidance as it goes. If a road is closed or you just want a different way home, the Detour button builds an alternate path back to your start.

Our apps are iOS only for now. If you're on Android and want them, send us a note — knowing people are waiting helps us plan what comes next.
