Running is a paradox. We do it for our health, yet studies show over half of all runners are injured each year. This is often because the tools we use are focused on the wrong metrics: competition over consistency, and performance over prevention.
That changes today.
We are proud to announce that RunMate Pro is officially live on the App Store (Android coming soon). Built by TapeGeeks, this is the first running app designed around a single philosophy: to help you run smarter, prevent injuries, and build a sustainable, lifelong running practice.
Why Existing Running Apps Fall Short
The market is filled with apps that treat running as a social competition, leading to real problems for the everyday runner:
-
Data Overload & Distraction: Endless notifications, social feeds, and leaderboards that can diminish the pure joy of running.
-
Reactive Health Tools: They track your performance but do little to proactively help you avoid the overuse injuries that can halt your progress.
-
Neglect of a Critical Asset: Your shoes are your most important piece of protective gear, yet tracking their mileage is often clunky, hidden, or ignored entirely.
This mismatch leaves runners frustrated, burnt out, or worse, on the sidelines with an injury.
The RunMate Pro Difference: A Purpose-Driven Design
RunMate Pro was engineered on three principles: Simplicity, Prevention, and Privacy.

-
See wear percentage at a glance after every run.

Get alerts when your shoes approach their safe mileage limit ( / ).

No account, no login, and no social feed.
-
Your data belongs to you, period.
Our Philosophy: From Physical Tools to a Digital Companion
For years, TapeGeeks has provided the physical tools—kinesiology tape, athletic gear—to support athletes. We’ve been on the front lines, helping you manage injuries and recover faster. Through that experience, we saw a clear gap: the digital tools weren't aligned with the physical reality of staying healthy.
We built RunMate Pro to bridge that gap. It is the digital extension of our core mission: to provide a complete ecosystem for safe, sustainable athletic performance.
