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.
High knees on the spot. The week hasn't started yet.
Forward stride, even tempo. On pace.
Same cycle, faster. Fresh kilometers in the bank.
Slumped shoulders, head down. Behind on the goal.
Arms up, mid-jump. Goal cleared.
One track,
one finish
line.
The week, the run, the line.

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.
