Engineering & Product Writing
We built a running app where your heart rate writes the story
How a 5-node LangGraph pipeline, BLE debouncing, and a three-float world state vector turn real-time biometrics into a live narrative — every 7 seconds.
Runnory vs Zombies, Run! — two very different takes on audio running
Zombies, Run! defined audio running. Runnory takes a different bet entirely — your heart rate drives the story, not the other way around.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Runnory.
What is Runnory? expand_more
Runnory is a gamified running app that transforms every workout into an immersive narrative adventure. It uses your real-time heart rate and GPS data to drive an evolving story, rewarding you with XP, artifacts, and leaderboard rankings as you run through richly imagined fantasy worlds. Available on iOS and Android — 2 free runs per month, with monthly and annual subscriptions for unlimited access.
How does Runnory work? expand_more
Runnory connects to a Bluetooth heart rate monitor and uses GPS to track your run in real time. As your BPM rises and your pace increases, the in-app narrator responds — uncovering story secrets, triggering world events, and awarding XP based on your effort. When your run ends, progress is saved and can be synced to Strava.
Is Runnory available on iPhone and Android? expand_more
Runnory is coming soon to the Apple App Store (iOS) and Google Play Store (Android). Free to download — 2 runs per month included. Monthly and annual subscriptions unlock unlimited runs.
What makes Runnory different from other running apps? expand_more
Unlike traditional running trackers, Runnory combines biometric data — heart rate, pace, and GPS — with an AI-driven narrative engine to create a living story that changes based on how hard you run. Completing runs earns XP, unlocks story chapters, and places you on a global leaderboard across five unique fantasy worlds.
Does Runnory require a heart rate monitor? expand_more
A Bluetooth heart rate monitor is recommended for the full biometric-driven narrative experience, but Runnory can run using GPS pace data alone. The app supports standard BLE monitors including chest straps and optical wristbands.
