Meet Molo

A running app. A little cat that goes with you.

Your first run is one minute long. Nobody is too unfit for one minute.

Coming soon on Google Play
Three steps

You, a cat, and one minute.

Meet Molo

Answer a few questions and you get your starting level.

Go out for one minute

Run one, walk one, five times. A voice tells you when to switch.

Come back to Molo

Tell it how that felt. Gone for a while? Molo just says it missed you.

The molo philosophy

The problem was never that you're lazy.

Miss a week and most apps show you exactly how far behind you are. So you go back to Week 1. Again. Blame the app. It was built for someone whose life never interrupts.

“Molo” means slow down, take it easy, do it on purpose. So the plan bends around tired days, sore days, and the week the whole house gets flu.

Mostly the app cares that you went out. Running is the excuse.

How it works

Walking today. Running by the end. Surprised the whole way.

1

No such thing as too unfit

Never run, stopped years ago, coming back from injury. The plan shapes itself around your body.

2

Nothing to think about

It tells you when to run and when to walk. You never have to look at a clock.

3

Say it hurt
and it listens

It asks how that felt. Say something hurt and you repeat the session instead of pushing on.

4

One day you're a runner

You'll catch yourself telling someone "I've got a run later" and it won't sound strange.
