CONQR isLIVE.
A year in the making. Built to get you out the door, and to keep you going.
CONQR is live on the App Store. Free for iPhone and Apple Watch. A year in the making, and built for one thing: getting you out the door today, and again tomorrow, and again the day after that.
Yo. Kris here.
Here's the truth about running: starting is easy. Everybody starts. January is packed. The hard part is week four. The rainy Tuesday. The morning after you skipped yesterday, when the whole thing quietly falls apart.
I've fallen off more times than I can count. Every time, I had a great app recording every split and every heartbeat. It didn't matter. A logbook can't make you want to go.
So I spent the last year building something that can.
Duolingo cracked it. Running never did.
Think about Duolingo. Nobody opens it because they love conjugating verbs. They open it because the streak is on the line, a friend just passed them on the leaderboard, and a lesson only takes five minutes. Millions of people practice a language every single day because of that design.
"Duolingo didn't make Spanish easier. It made showing up feel like a game you don't want to lose. We built that for running."
Running has never had it. Running apps are spreadsheets with a map. They're great if you're already a runner, and they do nothing for the version of you on the couch deciding whether today counts.
CONQR is a running app built motivation-first. If you've ever kept a Duolingo streak alive at 11:58 p.m., you already know how this works:
Here's the difference: Duolingo gives you a streak. CONQR gives you a streak and a kingdom.
Your miles finally go somewhere
Most miles disappear into a logbook. In CONQR, they land on a real map.
Close a loop and everything inside it joins your realm. Run it again and your hold gets stronger. Then your neighbor runs it, and now they're coming for your block, and you have a very good reason to lace up tomorrow morning.
That's the part nobody expects. You don't just go for a run anymore. You go take back the park.
Then there are Battlegrounds: the busiest places in town, like the park loop and the waterfront path, where nobody can own the ground and three teams fight over it every week. Pick red, green or blue. Every mile inside the line counts for your side. Every week there's a winner, and a crown for the runner who carried them.
And your Personal Realm is a forever map of everywhere you've ever run. It never shrinks. Watch it spread across your city.
Coach Conqr is in your corner
Every habit that sticks has someone in its corner. Meet Coach Conqr.
He talks you through the run while it's happening: your splits, your miles, the milestone you just hit. Pick the voice that gets you moving, Inspirational, Hype or Grit. On a treadmill? He coaches you there too.
When you finish, he doesn't just hand you a number. He tells you what that run meant, how it fits the bigger picture, and what to do next.
A plan that bends instead of breaking
Plans are where most people quit. You miss one Tuesday, the plan says you're behind, and three days later you've given up on the whole thing.
CONQR plans take you from your first 5K all the way to a marathon, with 10K, half marathon, walking plans and a stay-active Longevity plan in between. Pick a goal, pick a timeline, go.
With CONQR Pro, your plan adapts to the runs you actually do. It works around the weather, bounces back with you after a missed day, and lets you aim at any race date you want.
A year in the making
A year ago this month I wrote the first line of CONQR. The short version of what happened next:
To every tester who ran a loop with a half-finished app in their pocket and then told me exactly what was wrong with it: this one is yours too. Thank you.
