> A free, minimalist iOS running app for serious runners. GPS tracking, shoe mileage management, injury prevention guides. No ads, no login, no social features. Built by TapeGeeks Inc. in Oakville, Ontario, Canada.

## What RunMate Pro Is

RunMate Pro is a privacy-first iOS running app focused on sustainable, injury-free training. Unlike Strava or Nike Run Club, it has no social feed, no leaderboards, and no subscription paywall for core features. It launched on the App Store in September 2025.

## Core Features

- **Route Planning**: AI-generated loops up to 50km from current location, pedestrian-only paths, save favorites, view saved routes anytime
- **Runner's Guide**: 6 injury categories (knee, IT band, shin, plantar, ankle, hip), kinesiology taping tutorials by TapeGeeks sports medicine experts, rehabilitation protocols, prevention exercises
- **Privacy-First**: No account required, no email, no social profile, all data stored locally on device, optional Apple Health sync
