I made a free app, Mystery Run, that lets you run surprise GPS art with Strava

There’s no planning required - just integrate with Strava, select the distance, then follow the turn by turn directions. When you finish, you’ll see what you’ve drawn and, it’ll automatically post to Strava for you. 

There are 42 drawings available, including a couple only available on holidays. 

I’ve personally found it really fun to add variety to my running routes, and as long as I run in the morning (e.g. 7am) there’s not many people on the sidewalks. I’ve gotten way more strava kudos, and look forward to the runs. 

Give it a shot and LMK your feedback!

It's called Archie: Architecture ID, for iOS . I built it for myself to better learn about buildings around me, but maybe others will find it helpful as well. The two main features are (1) take an image of any building and learn about the style/history/features. It includes audio narration. save images to your library. (2) use the map to explore your neighborhood and identify notable buildings.

It costs me a small amount per photo so there is a paywall after the first 5 identifications.

I'm curious to get some feedback!
