iPhone Configurator
Design your watch screens. Run them live.
Runara turns watch-screen design into something you do on the big screen. On iPhone you compose swipeable layouts, Hero, Stack, Split, Triad, Quad, Penta, or Dense, and drop the metrics you care about into each slot.
Choose from twenty-three widget types: current pace, distance, elapsed time, heart rate, an HR-zone band, elevation, cadence, charts, or a live map of your route. Drag to reorder, swipe to delete, and preview every screen at true watch size before it ever reaches your wrist.
Each slot adapts to its size class, so a Hero numeral stays huge and legible while a Dense grid packs six readouts without losing clarity. The configuration syncs to the watch automatically, no cloud account, just a direct device-to-device link.
