RunHUD

The Problem

Running on a treadmill means constantly checking your smartwatch for heart rate, pace, and cadence. It's awkward, breaks your concentration, and strains your eyes trying to read that tiny screen. You find yourself looking down every few seconds instead of focusing on your workout.

The Solution

RunHUD displays your running metrics from Bluetooth sensors in LARGE, CLEAR format on your phone. Place it on your treadmill console and see heart rate, pace, and cadence at a glance—no squinting, no wrist-turning, no distraction. Just effortless monitoring while you run.
