Run, walk & race coaching · iPhone and Apple Watch
Aloha. Welcome to EightGears.

Coming to the App Store. Built by a coach, for runners and walkers.
Real coaching, not just a tracker.
Tell EightGears a few of your race times and your goal. It builds every pace from your own ability, watches your real runs and walks in Apple Health, and keeps the plan fitting you as you change.
Not running yet? Welcome.
A walking program built around your day, with heart-rate guidance and no pressure. Moving toward running is an offer you choose, never a push.
Effort first, pace second
Every session tells you the effort and why it is there. Pace confirms the effort; it never shames you into it.
Moves as you do
When your fitness shifts, EightGears notices and offers to update your paces. You always decide.
Strength and cross-training
Strength work is part of the plan if you want it, and any run can become a bike, pool or elliptical session on the day.
Course-aware race days
Pick your race course and EightGears reads it, pacing the hills and the flats so your goal survives the terrain.
Straight to your wrist
Your session, warm-up to cool-down with every target, goes to Apple's Workout app. Follow your watch and run.
PBs, not pressure
Personal bests in every context: season, comeback, surface, conditions. Your journey, honestly seen.
Your data stays yours.
EightGears is built to collect nothing. There is no account to create, no analytics and no trackers. Everything is worked out on your iPhone.
- On your phone. Your plan and history live on your iPhone and in your own private iCloud, never on our servers.
- Apple Health, read only. We read your completed runs and walks to coach you. We never write to Health.
- No tracking. No analytics, no ads, no data sold, ever. The App Store label reads "Data Not Collected."
