SummonRun: Run Companion
Daily Run Motivation
Free · In‑App Purchases
Run, hatch, evolve. Every qualifying run grows a mythical creature you summon, name, and watch grow. The running app that finally gives you a reason to go again.
SummonRun is the carrot, not the tracker. Free to download, no subscription. Keep using your favorite running app (Apple Watch, Apple Fitness, Nike Run Club, Strava, MapMyRun, or anything that writes to Apple Health). SummonRun reads each qualifying run from Apple Health and turns it into tangible progress: a creature you summon, name, and watch evolve.
Pick your daily goal (1 mile up to 10K). Hit it consistently and your creature evolves through 16 stages over the course of the month. Each month brings a new mythical creature: phoenix, leviathan, golem, griffin, and more. You name it. Miss a day and your streak resets, but evolution progress carries forward.
Alongside the monthly arc, hatch egg chests to collect 25 gacha creatures across four rarities, from common sparrows and turtles up to legendary elemental dragons. Plus a fifth tier: the limited-edition Founder Dragon, only available during launch period.
Every creature has its own element and lives on one of six animated islands: Volcanic Forge, Tidal Shore, Verdant Grove, Sky Haven, Crystal Abyss, Radiant Sanctum. Each island upgrades across three tiers as you earn coins.
FEATURES:
• Apple Health powered. If it writes a running workout to Apple Health, it counts. We never replace your tracker.
• 16-stage monthly creatures, a new one every month.
• 25 gacha companions across commons, uncommons, rares, and legendaries, plus the Founder Dragon at launch.
• Six elemental islands with three upgrade tiers each.
• 31 achievements with coin rewards across running, evolution, collection, social, and economy.
• Friend leaderboard ranked by creature progress, not pace. Add friends, visit their habitats. No pace or distance shame.
• Apple Watch companion with multiple complication styles.
• Creature photo: take a picture with your pixel-art companion overlaid on the camera.
• Home Screen widget: creature, streak, runs, and coins at a glance.
• Pixel art throughout, dark fantasy aesthetic.
• Notifications: daily run reminders, evolution-ready alerts, friend requests.
EARNING AND SPENDING:
Earn coins by running. One per qualifying run, plus a bonus at every seven-day streak milestone. Spend them on egg chests, island upgrades, or creature extensions. In-app purchases are optional shortcuts. Every creature can be earned by running.
PRIVACY:
SummonRun minimizes what it stores. Run data is reduced to "what date, and did you hit your goal." No GPS, distance, pace, or duration ever leaves your device. Photos never leave your phone. See summonrun.com/privacy for details.
Lace up. Your creature is waiting.
Bug fix release.
Fixed a sizing bug where some juvenile-stage sprites were rendering zoomed in. The display layer now reads frame sizes from the actual sprite sheets, so every monthly creature (Leviathan, future ones too) shows at the correct scale.
