SOOM · RUN BESIDE YOUR PAST SELF
You are not racing anyone.
You are racing yesterday.
SOOM replays your own past runs on the same clock. While you run it tells you — by voice and by tap — how many metres ahead you are, or how many seconds behind. An account is optional, and if you stay signed out your runs never leave your device.

How it goes
- Choose — Pick who you run with today: yesterday's you, your best, or a target pace.
- Run — Push to start and the ghost moves with you. The gap is spoken and tapped out, so you never need to look at the screen.
- Keep — Finish and you get a receipt. Save it and it joins your timeline — and becomes the ghost for the next run.
What kind of app this is
- An account is optional. Running, saving, reading your history and racing your ghost all work without signing in.
- Stay signed out and nothing leaves the device. Runs, location and health data are stored on your device and nowhere else.
- No tracking. No advertising identifier (IDFA), and no analytics or advertising SDK.
- Sign in if you want a backup. Signing in backs up your runs and routes to your own account, so they follow you to a new device. Stay signed out and losing the device means losing the runs.
How the ghost moves
- Metres and seconds, both — one gap in two units. «42m ahead» and «13s ahead» are the same moment measured two ways.
- Pace changes the reading — the faster you run, the more distance the same time gap covers.
- When GPS drops — in underpasses and tunnels, step count carries the distance estimate.
Apple Watch
A run is complete on the watch alone. Leave the iPhone at home and starting, measuring, ending and saving all happen on the watch; the run is handed to your iPhone when they reconnect. That handover happens between your own two devices and never goes through a server. If you are signed in, the iPhone that received the run then backs it up to your own account.
Health and safety
SOOM is built so you can run without looking at the screen, but that does not replace attention to traffic, terrain and the people around you. See clause 3 of the Terms of Service for the full text.
SOOM+ — Future You (optional)
Everything above is free. Nothing gets locked.
SOOM+ adds one more opponent. Write down a goal — «10K in 50 minutes» — and we build a ghost that runs exactly that pace. Not yesterday's you. The you you're training to become.
Three weeks free from your first finish, no card required. Stop paying and the goals you already made stay playable; only making new ones stops.
$24.99/year or $3.49/month, auto-renewing. Cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.
