This is really clever! I actually try to have a beat in my head that I run to but never thought of a "pulse" or "metronome" to do this.
Personally LOVE the Apple Watch Haptics feedback, I don't run with headphones so this is perfect. The design is really nice as well. Congrats @pipe_abello - overall well done :)
Runo
Thanks so much @gabe ! 🙏 The haptics were a game-changer for us too - running without headphones but still keeping cadence felt like a missing piece. Glad the design landed well. If you try it out, let me know how your runs go!
It would be good for runner! Just one thing. It would be even better if the introductory video had sound.

@highlightyourproduct Hi Seonghun! Thanks for the comment! Are you referring to the onboarding video? If your phone’s volume is up, it does have sound.
Thanks for the feedback, and happy running!
Runo
Thanks @highlightyourproduct! Glad you think it'd be useful for runners 🏃♂️ Good catch on the video — we'll look into adding sound to make the intro clearer. Appreciate the feedback!
congrats on the launch! Runo seems extremely useful especially for those who are in the beginning of running journey (like me haha)
I like to run and I try to make it as professional as possible, but I can notice myself struggling with rhythm, especially when listening to different types of music. was curious is it possible to change my rhythm in Runo during the run, or shoud I stop, finish one session and start another with different rhythm?
thank you, and I wish you continuing success and great runs!
Runo
@yellow_yetti Thank you so much for the kind words and congrats on starting your running journey! 🎉
Great question! Yes, you can absolutely change your rhythm mid-run — no need to stop and start a new session.
Runo has a half-beat precision feature specifically designed for this. It’s perfect for interval training where you want slightly different rhythms for work and recovery phases. You can adjust your target cadence on the fly while you run.
A few tips as you’re getting started:
1. Don’t force a huge jump — if you’re currently around 160 SPM, don’t immediately jump to 180. Increase by about 5 SPM every 4-6 weeks
2. The metronome works alongside your music — so you can keep listening to whatever motivates you while still having the beat to lock into
3. Use half-beats for intervals — set a higher cadence for your work intervals, then dial it back slightly for recovery
The goal is that over time, your body develops muscle memory for your target cadence and you won’t even need to think about it anymore. Think of it like training wheels you eventually outgrow!
Happy running, and feel free to ask if you have any other questions! 🏃
@pipe_abello that sounds great! thank you
finally a metronome that doesn't scream over my podcast. does the audio lower the volume when the beat hits, or does it just play a subtle click over the top?
Runo
@samet_sezer Great question! Runo plays a subtle click over your audio — no ducking or interruption to your podcast. The beat blends in alongside whatever you're listening to, so you stay in rhythm without missing a word. We also have multiple metronome sounds you can choose from to find one that works best with your content. 🎧
Runo
@je_suis_yaroslav Yes! We have a Strava integration. You can set it up in the Options section of the runo app.
hey @pipe_abello love the idea! will start using it today on my run... just a quick suggestion: add "product hunt" to the options on the "how did you find us" onboarding section 🏃
Runo
@sofia__bettari Hey Sofia! Thanks for trying Runo — hope you have a great run today! 🏃♀️ And that's a great suggestion about adding Product Hunt to the onboarding. Consider it done — I'll push that update today. Let me know how the run goes!
