§02The runner · five moods

A 16-pixel runner whose mood shifts with your week — quietly, in the corner.

16-pixel sprite. Eight-frame cycle. Lives next to the clock.

A quiet living signal in the top-right corner — caught in peripheral vision, recognized without reading.

No nagging notifications, no popups, no badges. The runner simply changes posture as your week unfolds.

The little runner follows your rhythm — warming up at week start, jogging through the middle, sprinting after a fresh run, slumping if you fall behind, raising arms when you cross the line. Four hand-drawn cycles. Six to eight frames each.

An app that demands your attention has already lost the race. RunBar does the opposite — it stays out of the way, until the moment your runner crosses the line.
