Vanoor — a serious running watch, already on your wrist

Vanoor turns your Apple Watch into a serious running watch: offline GPX route navigation, structured interval workouts with pace and heart-rate targets, live pacing, and runner-grade metrics — cadence, power, ground contact time, stride length. Every run saves to Apple Health and uploads to Strava. One-time purchase, no account, no subscription.

Follow any route on your Apple Watch

Import a GPX from Files, AirDrop or Mail — or draw a route tap by tap in the built-in planner — and it syncs straight to your wrist. On the run you see the route, your live position, kilometre markers, direction arrows and off-route warnings. Offline map tiles are prefetched along the route, so navigation keeps working where reception doesn't.

Structured workouts and race pacing

Build interval sessions with warm-up, work and rest splits, repeat blocks, pace or heart-rate targets and fuelling reminders. Plan a race strategy with negative or even splits, sync it to the Watch, and get live in-band/out-of-band pacing with haptic cues at every transition.

Runner-grade metrics, live

Current pace from Apple's sensor-fused running speed, heart-rate zones, cadence, running power, vertical oscillation, ground contact time and stride length — on configurable Watch screens, with auto-pause, per-km splits and a post-run effort score saved to Apple Health.

Your runs reach Strava — automatically

Strava doesn't import third-party workouts from Apple Health, so Vanoor uploads finished runs directly to Strava with the full route and heart rate. Connect once, run, done.

No subscription. No account. No server.

Vanoor is a one-time purchase after a 7-day free trial. Your runs live in Apple Health and your private iCloud — never on our servers, because we don't have any. Your runs are not our business.
