I've been using OpenTracks and Nextcloud for this purpose. The UI is pretty basic and the elevation not accurate, but mostly gets the job done.

Would love to have a TUI for something like this.

Very nice but last update was 3y ago so not going to survive Apple's "break backward compatibility like it's 1999" approach.

A lot of these apps that come with fitness hardware are free these days (i.e., Wahoo bike computer, Garmin watch) so there's less of a need for something like this. But nevertheless kudos for making it FOSS.

I’m really interested in this, but it looks like it hasn’t been worked on in a while and there are some crash reports on the iOS store reviews.

I would love if Apple built some of this in native apps.

I do like sharing runs with a small group of friends.

    Apple native app is called fitness. You can share workouts.

      Can you record a run in there somewhere? Might just be bad googling, but I can’t see an option just using the phone.

      • ecesena 2 years ago

        Ah no I think you need a watch. Or at least that’s what I use.

        • rpicard 2 years ago

          Maybe that’s a good enough reason for me to get one.

          Strava works, but I just don’t like how much they try to push on you. I just want to track runs and PRs and encourage my friends.

            I highly recommend. Personally I have the one without LTE, can store music, podcast & audiobooks and leave the phone home. Apple pay also works for the occasional stop at grocery before going back home. Once you start tracking running, you’ll get addicted to track every other workout, I definitely doubled+ the amount of activity I do just thanks to the gamification aspect.

Looks great. I'm abit worried about it being free, though. People that take on arduous tasks for free tend to get tired of it after some time.

Open source helps a lot here, though, so I'm not too worried. Source is here, fwiw: https://github.com/timfraedrich/OutRun

Edit: Looks like the project is abandoned. So, yeah, maybe it should have costed a couple of bucks.

I see Open-source, but I'm not able to find any link to a repo anywhere on that page. And while it's not as popular as I think it should be, there is a project already called outrun (https://github.com/Overv/outrun), the domains are different so it might not matter much.

Edit: Nevermind perbu provided the source link and the both projects appear to be stale anyways.

On Android, have a look at GadgetBridge https://gadgetbridge.org/gadgets/
