$3.99 · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS.
Your next run has a cheering section. Meet Cheer Squad, tune favorites vs. fresh music, start smoothly from your wrist, and relive every effort with run replay.
Make your next run one to look forward to.
Pancake brings your plan, your progress, and your cheering section together. Build a workout on your phone, follow it from your wrist, and finish with a replay of the effort you put in.
YOUR RUN, YOUR PLAN
Create intervals by time or distance, choose target heart-rate zones, or get moving with a ready-made workout template. Send your plan to the paired watch and Pancake opens there, ready for you to start.
START WITH YOUR STRIDE
Choose whether to start the optional Adaptive Mix before your run, then let the countdown get you moving. Spend those first seconds finding your rhythm instead of searching through controls.
FAMILIAR FAVORITES. FRESH ENERGY.
With optional Adaptive Mix, on-device intelligence shapes song suggestions around your music taste, workout intensity, and live effort. Use the Library Selection slider to lean toward saved favorites and imported playlist tracks, or make more room for discoveries.
When the interval changes, Pancake prepares music for the next effort. A Next Song option at the transition lets you choose a fresh push for a hard interval or a different feel for recovery.
BRING YOUR CHEER SQUAD
Invite friends privately to your squad. Supporters can receive an alert when you head out and send a quick pep talk, a little encouragement, or something that makes you smile. Hear cheers aloud during your run. Message filtering and controls to remove supporters help you keep your squad welcoming.
SEE THE RUN BEHIND THE NUMBERS
Follow pace, distance, heart rate, and segment progress from your wrist. Afterward, explore your recorded route with an interactive run replay, clearer pace and heart-rate graphs, and a timeline of the songs you played. See how each part of your workout felt, mile after mile or kilometer after kilometer.
COMFORTABLE IN LIGHT OR DARK
A fresh look in both light and dark mode keeps your plan and progress easy to read.
No ads. No analytics. No Pancake account to create. Run history and preferences stay on your devices; optional Cheer Squad uses iCloud to share your display name, run status, and cheers with the people you invite.
A compatible paired watch is required for guided run tracking. Adaptive Mix is optional and requires supported on-device intelligence and an Apple Music subscription for catalog playback. Keep Pancake open on your iPhone while the mix plays. Cheer Squad requires iCloud; run-start alerts depend on background delivery and may be delayed.
Plan your effort. Find your rhythm. Run with a little more encouragement.
