Getting Runner onto every device was one of the main reasons we moved to the web. There’s no app store download. You add app.runner.now to your home screen and it behaves like a native app: its own icon, full screen, one tap away. Same sessions, same files, same memories as your laptop. Dictate a task while you’re walking to a meeting. Check the result or approve an Action Card when you sit down.

iPhone and iPad

What people use it for

  • Voice notes on the go. Tap the mic, describe what you need, board your flight. Runner works while you’re in the air.
  • Reviewing Action Cards. When a write tool is set to Ask, Runner stages an Action Card you can review from your phone. Allow performs the action without a card. Off blocks the tool unless a user-created Runner has its own override.
  • Reading your Daily Brief. Once you turn its schedule on, each 8am run is available on your phone.
