Palsprint
Run to hatch your pals.
Run outside. Hatch a pal. Repeat.
Palsprint turns real kilometres into something you keep. Put an egg in the incubator, go for a run, and what comes out is yours — a pal with its own look, name and perk who comes along on every run after that.

No treadmill numbers you forget by Tuesday
Just a reason to go out again. Palsprint is a proper running app with a collection loop wrapped around it.
Kilometres Hatch Eggs
Put an egg in the incubator and every kilometre you run feeds it. Swap which egg is incubating any time — each one keeps its own banked distance, so progress is never lost.
A Real Running App
Live GPS tracking with pace, splits, elevation and cadence, Apple Health and Watch heart rate, grade-adjusted pace, race predictions, and your full run history.
Pals That Come Along
Each pal has its own look, name and perk, and permanently records the run that hatched it — so your village is a physical history of your training.
How it works
One loop: a distance goal you can actually see, and a payoff at the end of it.
Choose An Egg
5 km, 10 km or 20 km. The longer ones hatch rarer pals.
Go For A Run
Your distance feeds whichever egg is incubating.
Hatch And Name
Name your new pal and take them running with you.
The longer the egg, the rarer the pal.
Coins come from running at ten per kilometre, so an egg's price reads as distance too. Each egg hatches its base rarity most of the time and one tier above the rest — legible odds instead of an opaque weight table.
5 km Egg
50 coins
Common or betterA proper run. Something silly is inside.
10 km Egg
120 coins
Rare or betterDouble figures for a rarer friend.
20 km Egg

Palsprint Plus
Optional. $6.99 monthly or $49.99 yearly.
Route building
Draw or pin routes snapped to real walkable paths, and follow them.
Place search
Plan a run anywhere, not just where you are.
Two incubators
Hatch two eggs at once instead of one, both at full speed.
Export and sync
GPX and TCX out, so your runs are always yours.
Route building is the only thing in the app with a per-use cost, which is why it sits behind Plus rather than the running itself.
Local-first, so a run never fails
SQLite and the device are the source of truth; the server is a mirror. A run has to work in a forest with no signal, so nothing on screen ever waits on the network. Every creature, egg and pin is drawn in code with a CustomPainter — there are no image assets for the art at all.
Works with no signal
Runs are recorded to the phone first and back up to your account afterwards.
Apple Health
Heart rate and Watch data in, completed workouts back out.
Place and weather
Where you ran and what the weather was doing is saved with every run.
Safety contact
Palsprint can email a contact the moment a run starts, with where you set off from.
Real kilometres, real pals.
Your runs are stored on your phone first, back up to your account, and export as GPX or TCX any time. Coming to the App Store for iPhone.
