Building Runnory means I constantly get compared to Zombies, Run! I love what they built, but we're moving from static MP3s to a live engine that generates the story from your actual heart rate.
Here’s why:

I built a 5-node LangGraph pipeline for one specific reason: I wanted a running app that actually listened to my body instead of just playing a fixed track.
Zombies, Run! is a masterpiece, but here is exactly why I built a generative alternative 👇
We frequently get asked how Runnory differs from the legacy audio running apps that pioneered this space.
The short answer: they treat your run as a listener. We treat your physiology as the input.

Zombies, Run! defined the audio running
genre. It has 11M+ downloads, and it is
excellent.
But as an ultrarunner, I wanted a story
that actually responded to my heart rate,
rather than just playing a pre-recorded track.
So I built an alternative. Here's how they
differ📷
I am building this as a solo dev. I do not have
a 14-year library of voice acting.
If you want a serialised plot with recurring
characters, use Zombies, Run.
If you want your biometrics to write the story
in real time, use Runnory.
The core app is coded, but I am currently
stuck in the Strava API review queue before I
can open the beta.
You can read the full breakdown of the two apps
here: runnory.com/blog/runnory-vs-…
Or join the waitlist for day-one access:

Fitness apps treat us like machines. Pace, elevation. Cold data.
But every run is an experience and a triumph.
I just finished an MVP tracker that turns raw GPS into your personal narrative.
Your run. Your story.
