Naked Run Club

Run naked. Run free

Hey Product Hunt Community 👋

I’m David and I’m the creator of Naked Run Club 🍌.

I’ve been running for a few years and I always kept track of my progress with my Apple Watch. Mostly Nike Run Club but I’ve also had a go at Runtastic and Apple Workouts.

At some point last year I realised that I got more and more obsessed with my running live data. Around the same time running became a lot less fun and felt more like a chore. This was bad. The streets and trails that were my playground became a dull uninspiring place. I had to do something to bring back the fun. So I started to run without my watch and soon the fun was back. Ignorance is bliss they say, and to some degree that is definitely true for running. Not knowing anything and just having fun out there is just great.

But there was something missing. While my running metrics became an issue during my runs their non existence were a bit of a let down afterwards. It can be really rewarding (and insightful) to chill on your sofa after a long run and look at the numbers that prove what you have just achieved.

I needed a solution for that problem but couldn’t find what I need. So I thought I’d try to fix it myself. How hard can it be? Famous last words. After a few weeks of playing around with Apple Watch development I got myself a little standalone running app that doesn’t show you any data while you run and tracks your key metrics in the background.

All you can see are the words JUST RUN and a motivational Banana to keep you going. All data is stored in Apple Health so you can check your running stats after your run in Apple Health and Apple Fitness.

Would be cool if this little app can help more people to bring back the fun to their running workouts.
