You can’t just dismiss it
RunStart is designed to keep the mission active until you start moving and complete the required movement.
An alarm for the part that matters
The hardest part isn't the run. It's starting.

More doing. Less dismissing.
Movement is verified
Location and Motion & Fitness signals help confirm that you’re genuinely walking or running.
Just get started
No full workout tracking. RunStart focuses on getting you through the hardest part: beginning.
A reluctant little companion
Starting changes the rest.
Once you’re physically moving, continuing usually feels easier. RunStart only asks you to cross that first line.
“Come on. We don’t need to feel ready. We just need to start.”
What exactly is RunStart?
RunStart is an alarm designed to help you overcome the hardest part of a walk or run: actually starting. It is not a full running tracker.
How does the alarm turn off?
When your RunStart begins, start moving and complete the required mission. The alarm is completed when the app records the mission as complete.
How does RunStart know I’m moving?
RunStart uses location and Motion & Fitness signals to verify walking or running without turning the homepage into a GPS lesson.
What if GPS isn’t working well?
Location accuracy can vary. RunStart needs sufficient location and motion information to verify progress, so moving outdoors to a clearer area may help.
Is RunStart a running tracker?
No. RunStart focuses on getting you started rather than tracking your entire run.
