In short: yes. Kiito, a private triathlon and running app for iPhone and Apple Watch, stores your runs, routes and heart rate in a database on your iPhone. There’s no account, no cloud sync and no server of ours, so Stationify never receives your runs. They go only where you send them: to Apple Health if you allow it, to your paired Apple Watch, and to the images and videos you choose to share. Recording is free.
What Kiito keeps, and where
- Your runs stay on your iPhone: routes, splits, heart rate, pace and elevation, along with your plans, gear, thresholds and profile. All of it lives in Kiito’s own database on the phone.
- Your Apple Watch talks to your iPhone directly. A run recorded on the Watch alone syncs to the iPhone when you finish, and a run started on the iPhone is mirrored to the Watch.
- Apple Health, if you allow it. Kiito saves your workouts there, with route, heart rate and elevation, and reads workouts from your other apps, with duplicates removed.
- No account and no cloud sync. There is nothing to sign up for, and nothing to log in to.
What does leave your phone
- Maps. Map tiles, place search, directions and place names come from Apple Maps, so Apple receives those requests, as it does for any app with an Apple map.
- Purchases. Kiito Pro is bought and restored through the App Store.
- Nothing else. Kiito has no analytics, advertising or crash-reporting SDKs, and its AI coaching runs on the device with Apple Intelligence.
Moving to a new iPhone
Kiito’s data is part of your iPhone’s backup, so restoring a backup or moving to a new iPhone brings it along. Workouts saved to Apple Health also stay in Health.
Exporting, sharing and deleting your runs
- Sharing: any activity can be shared as an image or an animated video of the route.
- Using your runs in other apps: workouts saved to Apple Health can be read by the other apps you allow. Kiito doesn’t export GPX or FIT files; it imports GPX, KML, GeoJSON and FIT routes for you to follow.
- Deleting: delete a run in Kiito and it’s gone from Kiito. The copy in Apple Health stays until you delete it in the Health app. Deleting Kiito removes everything it stored on your iPhone.
What else Kiito does
- Records every sport: running, cycling, walking, hiking, swimming and a whole triathlon, with GPS and heart rate. Free, with no time limit.
- Routes and navigation: turn-by-turn directions with rerouting to a destination you search, or follow an imported route’s line.
- With Kiito Pro: 44 training plans, from Couch to 5K to a full Ironman, guided interval workouts with spoken cues, and zones from your own data. US$5.99 a month or US$44.99 a year, with a 7-day free trial for eligible new subscribers.
Common questions
Does Kiito upload my runs?
No. Your runs are stored on your iPhone, and Stationify never receives them. There’s no account and no cloud sync.
Can I use Kiito without an account?
Yes. There is no account of any kind: you open the app and start recording.
Do my runs go to Apple Health?
Only if you allow it. Kiito then saves each workout with its route, heart rate and elevation, and reads workouts from your other apps.
What happens to my runs if I get a new iPhone?
They come along with your iPhone backup, like other app data. Workouts you saved to Apple Health stay in Health too.
Can I export my runs as GPX?
No. You can share any run as an image or a video, and workouts saved to Apple Health can be read by the other apps you allow. Kiito imports GPX, KML, GeoJSON and FIT routes.
