A running app that doesn’t take your data
Your runs stay on your iPhone and in Apple Health. We see anonymous feature-usage events and crash reports — nothing else. Not a policy promise: there is simply no account to create and no server your training could go to.
Where your data lives
The watch records your workout locally into HealthKit. It syncs to the iPhone app device-to-device, over Apple’s own channel. Your plan, your calendar, your history — all of it sits on your phone and in Apple Health, next to your other health records, under your control. There is no RunPlan cloud behind it. A data breach of your training history at our end is impossible for a boring reason: there is no data at our end.
What we do collect
Two things, both anonymous: crash reports, and feature-usage events — which screens and features actually get used, so two people can decide what to build next without guessing. No run content, no routes, no location history, nothing tied to who you are. The privacy policy spells it out in full.
Why we don’t need your data
Most running platforms need accounts and clouds because their business needs them: subscriptions to manage, feeds to build, audiences to monetize. RunPlan has none of that — no ads, no subscription, and no plans to ever have one. When the business doesn’t need your data, the app doesn’t have to take it. The training logic isn’t hidden either — the plan engine is open source.

Common questions
Does RunPlan sell my data?
No — and not as a promise we ask you to trust, but as architecture: there are no accounts and no training-data servers, so we do not have your runs to sell in the first place.
Do I need an account to use RunPlan?
No. There is no sign-up, no email, no login. You download the app and start training.
Where are my runs stored?
On your iPhone and in Apple Health. The watch records workouts locally to HealthKit and syncs them to your phone — device to device, not through our servers. Runs recorded by other apps count via Apple Health too.
What does RunPlan actually collect?
Anonymous crash reports and anonymous feature-usage events — which screens and features get used, so we know what to improve. No run content, no routes, no identity attached. The privacy policy spells it out.
What happens to my data if I delete the app?
Everything the app keeps disappears with it. Your workouts remain in Apple Health, under your control, like every other Health record — nothing lingers with us, because nothing was ever with us.
