Hey Product Hunt! I'm the maker of Sketchy Run. A bit more than two years ago I built my first app for an Apple product. It was a fun little run tracker called Naked Run Club and I've been using it for all of my runs since then. Last week I thought that it was time for something new. So I built Sketchy Run. When you run you only see the route being drawn on your watch and the distance you ran. In the background other key metrics like pace, heart rate and time are tracked and stored in Apple Health. After your run you can check the iOS companion app to see how you did and how far you've ran in total. Happy to answer any questions you have. And if you go for a run and have an Apple Watch, maybe you wanna give Sketchy Run a try

@david_pfluegl1 Cool story. I have a very curious question. Why "Naked Run Club"? :D Is it what I think? :D

David Pfluegl

@busmark_w_nika Hehe, not exactly what you think. Naked Run Club refers to the activity of running naked as in without tech. The app doesn't display any run data during the run but tracks in the background. All you while you run is 'Just Run' and a Banana. That said, nothing stops the user from actually running naked...

@david_pfluegl1 Aaa, so it is basically "digital detox app focused solely on movement" :D Gotcha :D

This is so fun. Congrats on the launch. We’ve also launched Mukh.1, a no-code visual builder for AI agent workflows. Have a look

@farrukh_anwaar Thanks! Will check it out!

Love that it draws my route. How about changing colors and making the whole run more of a creative exercise? Maybe even sharing the sketchy sketches?

David Pfluegl

@peterbuch thanks! more colors would be great. I will look into creating a fun sharing solution

I love that it shows me just the route and distance, less distracting than most running apps!

And I still get the detailed metrics for Apple Health in case I want to analyze later. Best of both worlds.

@__tosh Thanks!

Prioritizing distance over speed metrics intentionally shifts focus to enjoyment rather than performance - an interesting design philosophy.

I gave Sketchy Run a try and it’s such a fun twist on tracking — turning my routes into cute, hand-drawn sketches makes every run feel a little more personal. Super simple, surprisingly motivating, and just plain delightful.

Turning runs into art is super creative! 😄
