Hey everyone, After almost 2 years of development, we finally launched AudioRun and wanted to share it here. The idea started pretty simple: “What if the music you listen to while exercising actually reacted to your body in real time?” Not playlists. Not just speeding up or slowing down tracks. With AudioRun, the music responds to your movements. The technology lets you transform your workout into a live, interactive soundtrack that you create as you accelerate, decelerate, run, jog, walk, turn, or stop. Your movements shape the instruments and the vocals in real time. The app uses your phone’s motion sensors (accelerometer, gyroscope, compass, GPS) to track your movement, and machine learning to understand your movement patterns. So we built an app where: speeding up and running faster adds energy, layers, drums, percussion and basses slowing down softens the music stopping creates ambient breakdowns instead of awkward silence turning left or right immediately brings in new instruments, vocals and effects from different directions walking, jogging, running and sprinting feel like different versions of tracks It’s all happening live while you move. The music just keeps evolving around you. One of the hardest parts was getting the movement detection right and latency at minimum while keeping everything musical. If the system reacts too literally, the music becomes too unstable. If the algorithms wait too much to become “sure” about movements, then latency decreases interactiveness. Therefore, we spent a lot of time on finding the best detection algorithms and sweet spots by calculations and trial & error. Also, lots of the work went into making the experience feel smooth, natural, and genuinely enjoyable. At some point, it stopped feeling like “listening to music while running” and more like you’re controlling the music with your body. It also ended up becoming more than just a music thing. We leaned into gamification, challenges, and performance tracking pretty heavily: you unlock new interactive songs, sounds and genres by running there are challenges, streaks and progression systems your runs are tracked (distance, pace, routes, fastest points, maps, intensity) you can compare sessions and go for high scores like Strava-style apps your “Run Aura” evolves based on how you actually run So it’s basically a mix of an interactive music engine, a fitness tracker, and a running game that can be used solo or together with other running apps like Strava, MyFitnessPal, or INTVL. Furthermore, you can use AudioRun outside or indoors and it still works. One of the best things about AudioRun, in our opinion, is that it actually makes moving around at home exciting and addictive, which makes it easier and fun to stay active without even going out. Anyway, we’re curious how people here see this. We believe that this is a very innovative concept, which hopefully a lot of people will find very exciting, useful and motivating for their workouts. We would be very happy to answer questions and genuinely appreciate any feedback, good or bad. Thank you so much for your time and reading this!
