FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is WYR?

WYR (When You Run) is an iOS social running app that automatically discovers and connects runners who ran the same course based on running records. Your precise location is never shared, and it connects runners who ran the same path around the same time. You stay hidden unless you choose to appear, and you're seen only when you want, only as much as you want. It supports GPS run tracking, auto-pause, voice guidance, and standalone Apple Watch operation.

What is Course Reveal?

Course Reveal is a system where the more you run a course, the more information you can see about it. As you run the same course repeatedly, your level (Lv.1–Lv.4) increases, progressively unlocking data such as runner count, peak hours, pace distribution, and anonymous runner cards. There are currently 4 levels, with more potentially added in the future.

What is a Signal?

"I'm running today." Not a heavy recruitment — just a simple running plan notification. You can share your time slot and expected distance with runners who are Lv.3 or above on the same course. No response doesn't mean failure — you were going to run anyway. You might just run into a familiar face.

How does Greet work?

When you run the same route around the same time, encounters are recorded. As your encounter count grows, more information about the other runner (time slot, pace, gender, etc.) is gradually revealed. After crossing paths 4 or more times, you can send a Greet. Only when both sides greet each other (mutual greet) does a running mate relationship form. Nothing happens until you choose to greet.

Is my location data safe?

WYR never shares your precise location with other users. Exact times are not revealed — only time-of-day buckets (morning/evening, etc.) are shown. Presence notifications are provided in 500m radius segments only. You stay hidden unless you choose to appear, and you decide whether your profile is visible.

What is Stealth Mode?

For those days when you want to run alone or don't want to be disturbed. Turn on Stealth Mode and your presence won't be revealed to any other runner at all. Turn it ON when you want a quiet run. Be visible only when you want, as much as you want — you're in control.

How do I find a running mate?

Send a Greet to a runner you've frequently crossed paths with on the same course. When they greet you back (mutual greet), you become running mates. Running mates can send direct 1:1 Signals regardless of course level, and can connect via Instagram through their profiles.

How do I download the app?

Download WYR for free on the App Store on your iPhone (iOS 17 or later). It's free, and you can also use it on Apple Watch.
