iOS app that motivates runners when they fall below pace
Back in 2023, my favorite running app was WeavRun — it changed the pace of music when you sped up. My issue: when I'd slow down mid-run, I didn't get real-time feedback or motivation in the moment.
I emailed the company with the feature idea, got a meeting with the Head of Product 4 days later, and came to that meeting with a full working prototype having learned Swift over the weekend.
No real-time motivation when falling below pace mid-run.
Plays motivational messages (recorded or celebrity) when you slow down. Also has buzzing mode for limited hearing.
Voted most creative at Rutgers CS showcase. Started a running habit I've kept for years.
Got offered to be added as a developer to WeavRun so I could use it after they shut down.
