The product has a pulse
Not a fitness feed. A real running network.
Every screen has one job: move you from “we should run sometime” to a real route, a protected meetup point, a completed run and a connection that actually means something.

Runnerz 1.1.0 · Android · versionCode 16 · Play review submitted
Pick a route. Start the run. Leave a lime trail.
The Live and private Field Test Android variants share the same hardened tracking, account, safety and package-aware UNIFIED foundations. Controlled code-16 handset proof captured the production-rendered segmented trail, live metrics and unobstructed Finish / hold-to-open SOS actions in both map sizes; no simulated run was finished or banked. Both flavours now pass 145 unit tests each with zero failures. The signed version-code-16 Play bundle is validated, all 11 store setup tasks are complete, 13 changes are in review and the 36-person Alpha tester group is assigned. Public production is not live yet: Google approval, the 12-testers-for-14-days gate, outdoor GPS, screen-off/OEM behaviour, battery impact and paired-watch behaviour remain explicit gates.
The lime line moves with you
An explicitly started Android run filters implausible fixes, follows each accepted position and keeps the full device-local trail visible in branded #39FF88 segments across pauses and signal gaps.
Routes guide. GPS stays raw.
Choose a route before the run, then use dedicated previous, next, focus-runner and focus-route controls on the expanded map. Proximity guidance can help you reorient; it never snaps recorded GPS or banked distance onto the route line.
Metrics that help mid-run
Elapsed time, recorded distance, current and average pace, estimated elevation gain and accepted-fix count—useful movement signal without turning Runnerz into a crowded stats feed.
A ledger that belongs to you
Completed summaries persist beyond the finish card and stay scoped to the signed-in account. Account cloud history can restore aggregate run records while exact GPS trails remain private on the device; public rankings are device-recorded, not race-verified.
Built for a minimised phone
A foreground workout notification keeps an active Android session visible with pause, resume and open-to-finish controls. Social refresh stops with the foreground instead of leaving a hidden timer loop behind. Paired Wear OS mirroring still depends on the runner’s device settings.
The recorder keeps its owner
An already-verified run can survive a clean restore or network interruption. Sign-out, account switch, legal-access loss or malformed ownership revokes that recorder and withholds the ledger until a settled account or guest scope is known.
Safety stays reachable
Finish and a compact three-second HOLD • SOS ring share the active-run dock without covering each other—embedded map or full screen. SOS opens the phone’s emergency quick dial; Runnerz never places the call.
Running Nearby, never exact nearby
The opt-in presence design shares only a broad area for a short window—never a route, coordinates, distance, direction or another runner’s trail.
Block and report where it matters
Account-level block and report controls sit in the social flow, with reports routed for moderation and blocked runners removed from relevant discovery and connection surfaces.
Current consent is a real gate
An account with missing, stale or unverifiable legal acceptance stops at a dedicated review screen until the current Terms are accepted, the Privacy Notice is acknowledged, or the runner signs out.
UNIFIED appears when it belongs
Runnerz detects a supported installed UNIFIED package before offering the explicit, time-bounded soundtrack handoff—without asking for streaming credentials or reading listening history.
Community with room to grow
A swipeable in-app rail is ready for confirmed partners, real running events, route activations and local culture. Empty partner space remains unclaimed until a deal is signed.
Options built for women who run
Hosts can clearly label women-only or women-led, all-welcome runs. Women-only sessions use an invitation-led flow instead of open joining. An optional private onboarding preference is never inferred, published or treated as automatic admission.
For the ladies
Women-only. Women-led. Clearly labelled.
Create a host-curated women-only run or a women-led session that welcomes everyone. The audience label travels with the run, women-only access stays invite-only, and every session keeps public meetup, home-protection, blocking and reporting boundaries intact. No name, portrait, document or activity is used to guess gender; the optional onboarding answer stays private and never grants automatic admission.

Official Brand Ambassador
Shadrac “ShowTime” Mavungu
ShowTime is developing an original Runnerz track. Music-video and content production are planned with Didi; any featured artist will be announced only when confirmed. Ambassador status is a governed working role—not identity verification, behavioural trust or earned running performance.
Track in developmentContent production planned
Runnerz now shares 27 genuine BRouter/OpenStreetMap route studies across Android and the website. The Rocky Crest, Wanaheda and Luxury Hill additions passed the map-data and public-meetup-candidate checks; every route still remains field-check pending until local runners verify access, surface, crossings, lighting and conditions.

Capsule ownership
Your state travels with you.
A checksum-protected Capsule exports playlists, queue snapshots, player state, badges, Runnerz memories and listening intelligence—never media bytes, private URIs or credentials.
Queue Director
The queue is yours again.
Reorder without losing the active position, play something next, remove and undo one operation, then save the living queue as a durable playlist.
Native Runnerz relay
The route knows the session.
Runnerz 1.1.0 offers the relay only when a supported UNIFIED package is installed. An explicitly armed handoff waits for an active or paused run, then returns only bounded completion data.
Runnerz handoff · deliberately small
The run knows the session. Not your whole listening life.
When a supported installed UNIFIED package is detected, a user-triggered handoff can share the session title, planned duration and bounded track count with Runnerz. Track identities, route points, the private Vault and listening history stay out of Runnerz; playback remains inside UNIFIED and accounts are not merged.
ShowTime Radio · live from the local library
Eleven real matches. One rights-aware channel.
Complete-credit matching finds SHOWTIME 837 solo tracks and collaborations already held on the listener’s device. The supplied ambassador portrait is bundled for presentation; no artist masters, remote stream or distribution rights are claimed.
Release boundary: UNIFIED 20.0 Signal Command is installed and verified in place on the release handset with all 3,795 Vault tracks and the exact pre-upgrade checksum retained; the Command Deck tap-through and Audio Lab route are physically verified. Capsule export/restore remains intact, while the Runnerz 1.1.0 package-aware return path and a real GPS completion callback remain field-acceptance gates. The signed version-code-22 bundle is on an active Namibia-only Google Play Alpha track, release 20.0 Signal Command (22) is in review and the 36-person tester group is assigned. Public production is not live until Google approval and the required closed-test period are complete. Apple Music and Spotify remain credentialled provider-adapter gates—not shipped provider playback.

Community ecosystem · beyond the route
From running routes to football dreams.
Runnerz and Magic Boys Football Academy are distinct projects connected by one belief: movement can give people community, discipline and somewhere positive to belong. Meet the Namibian academy helping young players play, learn and rise.
Community first
A public home for training information, academy identity and responsible sponsor contact.
Young people protected
The public experience avoids player names and personal details; enquiries route through the adult academy contact.
Trust, with receipts.
Reputation should mean something.
Verified identity and earned trust are not the same thing. Runnerz keeps them separate and shows the evidence that matters.
Completed runs
The runs a person actually completed—not a vanity number.
Host reliability
Evidence built from confirmed meetups and responsible hosting.
Run Connections
People you have genuinely run with, including mutual-run context.
Community contribution
Route building, beginner support and participation that helps Runnerz grow.
Founder · Pioneer · Legend
History is permanent. Trust keeps evolving.
Legacy distinctions honour who built the movement. Earned recognition spans performance, routes, community, trust and safety—but remains tied to qualifying evidence instead of decorative claims.
A network that moves
Discover. Match. Propose. Run. Confirm.
Upcoming runs, explainable matches, route proposals, check-ins, post-run confirmation and shareable wins—one connected product loop instead of disconnected screens.
Safety without theatre.
Approximate areas, protected home locations and public meetup points. A deliberate SOS hold opens verified Namibian emergency lines in the phone’s native dialer; Runnerz never pretends a call, contact alert or dispatch happened when it did not.
Community has a job.
Recurring groups, beginner-friendly sessions, trusted hosts, route leaders and contribution that unlocks real recognition.
