Overview
Stripping a fitness tracker back to the three numbers runners feel.
Stride's founders came with a paradox: their app collected forty metrics and their users looked at three. We rebuilt the dashboard around pace, effort, and streak — everything else moved behind one deliberate tap. A single green ring became the whole status language: solid when you are on plan, breathing when it is rest day.
Problem
The old dashboard was a cockpit. Runners mid-workout could not parse it at arm's length, and the post-run summary buried the one question that matters — was that better than last time?
Solution
A glanceable mid-run screen with type sized for motion, a post-run story that leads with the comparison, and notifications that never interrupt a run in progress. Weekly retention rose 22% in the redesign cohort.
