Run Buddy AI 1.6 turns your runs into reusable routes. - Create a route from a recorded run while keeping the original GPS trace. - When a repeated loop is clearly recognized, keep one lap, with or without the approach and return. Ambiguous traces remain complete. - Explore your routes with a full-screen map, distance, and an elevation profile when the data is reliable. - Rename routes, export them as GPX files, and select one for your next run. - Delete a route without losing past workouts or their GPS traces. - Choose your Apple voice for each language and preview Apple or Voxtral voices. - See the starting countdown in the Live Activity on your Lock Screen. - AI coach context management and audio activation have been improved.

Run Buddy AI 1.5 gives the coach a more faithful view of your run. - Explore pace references built from the blocks you actually ran, grouped by duration and terrain. - The coach can use these observations to shape recommendations without turning them into mandatory zones. - During a run, messages better reflect elapsed time, completed kilometres, and elevation actually observed. - Pace alerts remain steadier when you are running close to the target. - After a run, keep the quick rating and optionally add a written comment to explain how it really felt. - Edit that feedback later from the run details. The coach then refreshes the recap and can refine what it remembers for future guidance. Your existing runs, workouts, routes, settings, and analyses are preserved.

Run Buddy AI 1.4 adds richer context without making runs harder to start. - Choose a GPX route for a Free Run, saved workout, or coach recommendation. - Import a new GPX directly when preparing a run. - Routes remain optional guidance: leave the path, take a shortcut, or run several laps without interrupting the workout. - Elevation context now follows your real position on the route more accurately. - During free phases and longer blocks, the coach interprets fresh measurements and completed kilometres without inventing a target for the next one. - Local store migrations and recovery are more resilient to protect existing history. Your existing runs, workouts, routes, and settings are preserved.

This update improves pace reliability when GPS accuracy is reduced, avoids premature target-deviation cues, filters unrealistic elevation drift, and makes heart-rate coverage more representative for watches that record at a lower frequency.

Run Buddy AI 1.3.2 makes post-run follow-up and Apple Health synchronization more reliable. - Tell the coach whether a completed workout felt too easy, about right, or too hard. - Access this feedback again from the workout details if you did not answer immediately. - Coach analyses and recommendations now resume automatically after an interruption. - Apple Health synchronization is more reliable, including during manual refreshes or when no new workout is found. - Long coach responses powered by Apple Intelligence are handled more reliably. Your existing runs and settings are preserved.

Run Buddy AI is now free. This release reorganizes the app around Today, Progress, and Library, adds Apple Health history, reconciles similar recordings, and enriches runs with available heart-rate detail. Settings, coach analysis, and workout screens have also been redesigned. No account, subscription, or API key is required to run. Apple Intelligence and a personal provider remain optional. Existing users keep their runs, routes, workouts, settings, and keys.

What's New: - Improved delayed workout starts when locking your phone before running. - Made the first coaching cue more reliable after countdowns. - Improved live AI coaching continuity during structured workouts. - Added clearer pace target information in workout analysis and coaching. - Added elevation gain/loss context to help AI coaching better interpret effort. - Improved coach summaries, recommendations, and translations. - Fixed cases where API keys could appear saved but fail during AI requests. - Improved keyboard dismissal in coach conversations. - General reliability, performance, and prompt quality improvements.

What's New: - New coach conversation experience on the home screen, with a cleaner preview and a dedicated full conversation view. - Recommended workout feedback is now part of the coach conversation, so Run Buddy can better adapt when a session feels too hard, too easy, or not right for today. - Post-run feedback is now available immediately after a workout ends - AI session analysis now uses more of the live workout coaching context when available. - Structured workouts can now continue into a free-running phase, with tracking and coaching still active until you stop. - Added a short coach recap when the planned part of a workout ends and you continue running. - Added a “30 seconds left” cue for longer timed blocks, alongside the existing 10-second cue. - Faster first coaching cues and smoother repeated audio prompts. - Improved Apple Intelligence support by using the same conversation flow as other AI providers. - General coaching, localization, and reliability improvements.

What’s New: - Start a Free Run directly when you do not want to pick a structured workout. - New starter workouts are available on first launch: First Easy Run, Run-Walk Restart, and Easy Endurance + Strides. - Starter suggestions now appear until Run Buddy AI has enough real training context for personalized recommendations. - AI coaching, recommended workouts, and spoken cues are more reliable with improved provider response handling. - Improved OpenRouter compatibility for users who connect their own provider.

RunBuddyAI now gives you more control over your coach-recommended workouts. You can ask the coach to adapt today’s recommendation to the time you actually have, with quick duration choices or a custom duration, without changing your usual training profile. You can also add a short start delay before launching a workout, with a clear countdown before the session begins. Live coaching has been improved with richer workout context, better pacing awareness, smarter post-block feedback, and recommendations that make better use of your recent runs and post-run feedback. Settings are now easier to navigate, with clearer sections for coaching, narration, AI providers, voice, audio, and data.

Version 1.0.1 brings several quality improvements to RunBuddyAI. What’s new: - Added an optional Voxtral volume boost to make spoken cues and coaching easier to hear over background music. - Improved the reliability of boosted Voxtral playback. - Refined spoken audio behavior when other audio is already playing. - Improved coach and progress summaries for runners with a shorter recent history. - Fixed reset and retry edge cases in recommendation and history flows. - Hardened GPS filtering and refined pacing-related guidance for more reliable run feedback. - Improved stability for history digest caching and refresh behavior. The new Voxtral voice boost is optional and remains off by default.
