GPS Run Tracking

What it is

A full GPS run tracker, built into Kinoku. It is not a teaser for Pro. Tap start, go for your run, then tap stop. Your route, splits, pace, and heart rate all save to your phone.

What you get on every run

• Live pace and distance. Big, easy-to-read numbers that update as you run.
• Audio cues. Your headphones give you a quick voice note if your cadence drops, if you’ve been climbing a hill, or if it’s hot out. You can turn each one on or off in Settings.
• Weather context (opt-in). Add the temperature, wind, air quality, pollen, and UV level to each run. The data comes from Open-Meteo. Your spot on the map is rounded to about 1.1 km before each request, so your exact location stays private.
• Shoe mileage. Runs add up against your default pair of shoes, so you can see when it’s time for new ones.
• Wear OS. Start a run from your watch. Track heart rate and see your splits as you go.

What’s in the free run summary

After each run you get the route on a map. You also get a splits table, your average pace, total distance, total time, and elevation gain. It all saves to your phone and stays there. You can look back at any past run, view its route, and share it as a card.

What’s not in the free tier

The deeper run numbers are part of Pro. That’s things like a fitness estimate from your runs, race time predictions, pacing scores, your best efforts at each distance, weekly training load, and zone analysis. They live on the Run Analytics page.

The privacy story

Strava records your runs and uploads them. So do Garmin Connect, Nike Run Club, and the rest. Kinoku records your runs and uploads nothing. It all stays on your phone. You don’t make an account. There are no friends to add, no public profile to fill in, and no leaderboard to climb. The runs are yours alone.
