- Shoe mileage: log the distance on each pair and know when one is worn out
- Treadmill care: an odometer per machine, service due dates, and deck guidance for your model
- Mark a workout as a race, then filter your history to races
- Live Activities and widgets for quick stats and controls
- Metric or imperial units, heart rate zones, and optional media controls
- Privacy-first design: no accounts, no sign-ups, no tracking

1.10.0 2h ago
The big one first:
- Workout Layouts no longer freezes the app. Opening it could lock everything up until you force-quit — it opens straight away now.
- Lose the connection mid-run? Your pauses and activity totals now survive the reconnect instead of starting over.
- On Apple Watch: set how hard a run felt with the Digital Crown, and the start screen sits properly on smaller watches.
- More of the app speaks your language instead of falling back to English.
- Plus, we squashed a few pesky bugs trying to keep up on the treadmill.

1.9.2 5d ago
A steadier start, and a run that picks itself back up:
- Starting a workout is far more reliable: a belt that is already moving, or a treadmill still reporting its previous status, no longer stops the start from going through.
- Lost your treadmill mid-run? The workout now resumes on its own the moment it reconnects — until now only the automatic pause ever happened.
- The speed picker follows your treadmill's own speed range instead of assuming a fixed floor, and speed and incline both open on the value you are actually at.
- Steadier connections: each treadmill is checked once when it connects, and a lookup that fails no longer leaves things half-connected.
- Easier on the battery: with no workout running, the app now genuinely goes quiet in the background.
- Rate how hard it felt on a clear ten-point scale, with the Effort and State of Mind prompts properly translated everywhere.
- Better contrast in light mode, so the orange metrics actually read.
- Your Watch no longer beeps every half minute when an optional Health permission is switched off, and body measurements are now an explicit opt-in.
- Your saved shortcuts stay the way you set them instead of shrinking to whatever the connected treadmill reports, and Start honours "Use Apple Watch".
- Plus, we squashed a few more pesky bugs trying to keep up on the treadmill.

1.9.1 Aug 10
Bring the whole family along — and a lot more:
- Family Sharing: the subscription and the lifetime unlock now come in Family versions, shared with up to five family members.
- Pay monthly on the yearly plan: choose a monthly payment with a 12-month commitment instead of paying for the year all at once.
- The Track view now runs counter-clockwise from a bottom-right start line, like a real athletics track, and the lap brightens as you come round.
- Home shows where you stand: how many free workouts are left this month, and a clear warning if Health access is missing before a run goes unrecorded.
- Your treadmill's make and model now travel with your workouts into Health.
- Delete a workout straight from Sessions.
- Calmer screens: the music player steps aside when nothing is playing, and iPad gets its workout charts and layout sorted.
- Kinder to your battery: the app stops hunting for your treadmill in the background when no workout is running.
- Plus, we squashed a few more pesky bugs trying to keep up on the treadmill.

- Plus, we squashed a few more pesky bugs trying to keep up on the treadmill.

- Steadier reconnecting when your treadmill drops out or restarts mid-run.

1.8.4 Jul 13
Lots of new ways to make your run your own:
- Make the workout screen fit you — a new portrait layout with one big stat, an optional date and day in the landscape clock, and a track lap length you can set yourself.
- Your preferences now sync between iPhone and Apple Watch, so you set them once and they follow you.
- Don't feel like waiting? Skip the start countdown — and that choice syncs across your devices too.
- See your climb as you go — an optional line on the live speed & incline chart tracks your total elevation gain.
- Richer post-run detail — a pace chart that puts faster up top, and your Activity rings right on the workout summary.
- Steadier live stats — max cadence no longer jumps to impossible spikes.
- Plus, we squashed a few more pesky bugs trying to keep up on the treadmill.
