About Runplanner: Route Planner
Most running route planners draw a straight line between two points and call it a route. Runplanner snaps to real roads, footpaths and cycleways, so what you plan is what you actually run. Tap waypoints on the map and Runplanner builds a route along the streets and trails that are really there. You see your true distance, a proper elevation profile and a breakdown of the surfaces you'll be running on, before you leave the house. No account, no ads. TRAFFIC LIGHT DETECTION Runplanner detects traffic lights along your route and shows them on the map. Know exactly where your natural pause points are, which is useful for intervals, tempo runs, or planning a route where you won't be stuck waiting at every crossing. ROUNDTRIP GENERATOR Tell Runplanner how far you want to run and it builds a loop back to your starting point. Ideal for training days when you want a distance, not a destination. RUNNER-FIRST ROUTING Footpaths and cycleways take priority over busy car roads. Surface awareness tells you whether you're heading onto tarmac, gravel or trail. No surprises. TURN-BY-TURN NAVIGATION Start your run and follow along live: street names, turn directions and an alert the moment you go off-route. SCHEDULE YOUR RUNS Plan future runs in the built-in calendar and get a notification on the day. Route planner and training calendar in one. WORKOUT PLANS Build structured sessions directly on your route, from warm-up through intervals to cool-down, with custom pace zones for each segment. WEATHER CHECK See the forecast before you head out. Know whether to bring a jacket before you've laced up. ROUTE METRICS Distance, estimated duration, pace, elevation and road type breakdown update in real time while you plan. GPX IMPORT AND EXPORT Export any route as a GPX file for your running watch or training platform. Import existing GPX files with one tap. SHARE ROUTES Share routes with friends via QR code or link. They scan, you both run the same route. GEAR TRACKING Log which shoes you ran in and track mileage per pair, so you know when it's time to replace them. PRIVACY FIRST No account required. No ads. Your routes and activities are stored locally on your device with AES-256 encryption. We don't track you, sell your data or push you toward a premium tier. Built by a runner, for runners. runplannerapp.com

What’s new
Version 1.4.0 · Updated October 8, 2026
- Runplanner is now available in German. Choose Deutsch in Settings - The planner shows distance, time and pace while you plan. Tap the pace to set a different pace for that route, and it is saved with the route - During navigation the map faces along the route ahead, so it turns before corners instead of after them and no longer jumps to north - Navigation keeps running when your iPhone screen is locked - A fresh, cleaner design for popups, sheets and screens, including the route details - Back up all your routes, plans, gear and scheduled runs to one file in Settings > Backup & restore, and restore it on any iPhone or Android phone - A new start screen on the Routes tab: tap on the map, make a loop or import a GPX file, with routes near you right below - Scheduling a run is simpler: route, day, time, repeat and a note in one list. You can schedule straight after saving a route - After planning a run, add it to your calendar or invite a running buddy. Tap the date on a planned route to change the day or time, remove it or start the run - Your unsaved route is kept when you close the app, and you get a warning before another route or a new loop replaces it. Deleted routes can be brought back with Undo - Start and Resume on a saved route now start navigation right away - Hold the Stop button to end a run. If the app closes during a run you can continue it, and your pace leaves out pauses - Loop routes no longer count as finished right at the start - Numbers, times and dates follow your language and phone settings: commas in Dutch and German, 12 or 24-hour times and weeks starting on Monday. Miles users get mile presets and filters - The map stays smooth while routes and loops are calculated - Smoother animations: navigation starts with a smooth zoom, the turn marker pings as you get close, and deleted routes fold away with Undo. All of it follows your Reduce Motion setting - Better VoiceOver support, and an easy way back when location access was refused - Better readable buttons and menus in dark mode, and clearer Dutch texts
