Release notes

What changed in each build of Jaksa, newest first.

Build 720 · 12 November 2026

Steadier Health import, finished answers and clearer gym follow views

Importing your past workouts from Apple Health no longer stalls partway or keeps going over the same workouts, including ones without a route. Later changes you make in Apple Health still come through to Jaksa.
If you start talking while your coach is answering a request, it now finishes that answer afterwards instead of dropping it, and it does not carry out your request a second time.
When you follow a friend's gym workout live, in the app or on jaksa.run, the upcoming steps now appear under Next. The current set and its countdown stay in their own tiles, so you no longer see the same set twice.
On jaksa.run, the workout title now comes before Next when you follow a gym workout. During a warm-up, the follow view no longer shows a finish heading too early.
On a gym follow view, descriptions of cardio steps such as timed jogs now stay beside the workout. Distance now appears once on the workout card in your own units, instead of being repeated in the description.

Build 719 · 12 November 2026

Clearer plan charts, gym pages and sideways workout controls

On a treadmill plan, the chart now includes every step of your workout, so its progress matches how far you are through the workout and stays in line after a recovery is removed. Labels on short recoveries are spaced out so you can read them.
In the app and on jaksa.run, the key on your season chart now explains the pink dots that mark weeks with a test or a race. Target paces for planned steps now use the same colour as your other pace figures.
On a gym exercise page, a cue now shows when more sets or exercises continue below the controls, and it goes away once you reach the end. On carries, the target now sits on one line under the distance.
When you hold your phone sideways during a workout, each control now has its label next to its icon.
Shoe lifetime ranges are now rounded to tens of miles, in the app and on jaksa.run. Dates on Progress and on your goals now show the day first, whatever your phone's region setting.
The photo editor now says clearly how many photos or videos you have added and how many a workout can hold. When you connect an AI assistant, the setup button now names the step you still have left to finish with your coach.

Build 718 · 12 November 2026

Treadmill distance stays accurate with your phone on a shelf

On a treadmill with your phone resting on a shelf or the console, briefly picking up or moving your phone no longer adds a long stretch of distance to your workout. Distance from an Apple Watch or a belt speed you give your coach still counts as before.
Your coach still asks you once for your belt speed on a treadmill, even if your phone stops picking up movement early in your run. Before, that question could be skipped.

Build 717 · 12 November 2026

Clearer turn warnings, better destinations and fewer repeats

When your coach warns you of a turn ahead, it now always tells you how far away the turn is, in your own units. Before, the distance could be left out.
When you ask for a route to a gym, hotel or other business, your coach now finds that actual place, even with long or unusual names, instead of sending you to a popular running spot nearby. On a route to a place, your coach now tells you that you have arrived only when you get there, not when you start out on a track or pass close to the end early.
Your coach's regular run updates now also cover your cadence, climbs you have just finished and your laps on a track. They leave out distance when a split is about to come, and climb heights and track lengths are now named clearly.
Your coach no longer repeats the same side remark about you or your past runs that it made recently. Remarks about the run you are on still come through.
When you ask for music during a run, it now starts once and is no longer cut off or restarted if you ask again. You can still stop or pause your music at any time.
At the start of a run, a wrong heart rate reading that your Apple Watch sometimes picks up from your steps no longer counts towards your workout summary.

Build 716 · 12 November 2026

Distance left now follows when you talk over a split

If you start talking while your coach is giving you a split, it now answers you and then tells you how far you have left. Before, that part of the update could be lost.
The distance left you hear then is up to date with where you are now and your current goal, not where you were when the split began.
This still works if your connection drops for a moment. You also no longer hear a line again that your coach had already finished saying.

Build 715 · 12 November 2026

Run updates that compare your latest stretch and vary more

During a run, your coach's regular updates now tell you how your latest stretch compares with the one before it. They no longer repeat a split your coach has already given you.
These updates now take turns between your totals so far and other facts from your workout, so you hear something new each time. Alerts you asked for still come through.
These comparisons now stay accurate for your whole run, including stretches where your phone records your run less smoothly.
If your connection drops for a moment during a run, you still get your coach's update once it is back. Before, that update could be lost.

Build 714 · 11 November 2026

Hill warnings stay on with muted directions, smoother home screen

When you mute turn directions on a route, your coach now still warns you about hills ahead and still tells you when you reach the finish. Before, muting directions could silence those too, and a message steering you back to your route could replace an early hill warning.
When your coach greets you, it now gets your day's workouts right. It names a single run or gym session you have done, sums up a busy day instead, and no longer miscounts because of very short entries or the same workout saved twice.
After you finish a workout, your home screen now updates once, and Plan, your fitness and your dashboards are ready when you tap them.

Build 713 · 11 November 2026

Add a gym exercise to do next, and surer feedback during a run

In a gym session, you can now ask your coach to add an exercise to do next. It goes straight after what you are doing now, and your coach then picks up the unfinished work. Your completed sets stay as they were.
Exercises you add this way keep their place, sets and rep targets when you edit the session later. Several additions go in the order you asked, your rests stay as they were, and a rest change you make in the same request is kept.
When you report a problem to your coach during a workout, it now says your feedback is saved only once it actually is. If it cannot add your report to an earlier one, it keeps it as new feedback instead of losing it.
If you ask something else while reporting a problem, your coach still answers it, and it only asks you to repeat yourself when it could not catch your request. When you also ask it to do something on your phone, it still confirms that action.
If Jaksa is briefly busy during a workout, what you log is still saved before the workout ends, and you are no longer warned about it. Real problems are still reported to you.

Build 712 · 11 November 2026

Steadier gym sessions when you change weights or swap machines

When you change the weight for your next set during a rest, your coach now applies it to that set only. Before, it could rewrite the set you had just finished or add an extra upcoming set.
When a machine is taken and you swap exercises, your coach now suggests familiar alternatives that suit the session and asks for the new exercise's own weight. Before, it could copy over the old load, and it no longer asks for a weight on a bodyweight exercise such as pull-ups when you have done it with your bodyweight before.
In a gym session you put together as you go, finishing what looks like the last exercise no longer ends the session or offers you a free run. If you say you are done with an exercise and also change a weight or a rest in the same answer, your coach now keeps both.
Regular updates during a gym session no longer include running figures such as pace or distance, and your note reminders still come through.
You can now add a set or an exercise even after the last set of a gym session, and your coach picks up from the unfinished work instead of repeating sets you completed. Changes go to the session you are actually following, and steps you cancelled stay cancelled after you correct a weight.
Editing a gym session while you train now keeps your weekly targets and the session's original date, including for a session that runs past midnight.

Build 711 · 11 November 2026

Cadence songs start when you accept and turns name the right street

When your coach offers songs to match your cadence, the offer now names the music service they will come from. Once you accept, the songs start right away. Before, they could wait until later in your run.
During a route, your coach now names a street only for a turn that has one, and always gives each street with its own turn. Before, it could name a street for a turn that had none or attach a street to the wrong turn.
Your coach's passing remarks now make sense on their own and say which day they mean. Before, one could refer to something your coach had not said yet, or to a day without naming it.
When you share a workout idea or a problem, your coach now calls it feedback for the Jaksa team.

Build 710 · 11 November 2026

Your coach keeps your answer when it offers a place to run

When your coach suggests a place to run and you reply, it now keeps your answer, even if you answer quickly. Before, your reply could sometimes be missed and the suggestion left unanswered.
When your coach follows up after you have answered, its next question now builds on what you already said instead of asking again.

Build 709 · 11 November 2026

Your planned runs on your Garmin watch and steadier gym sessions

You can now connect Garmin from Settings in the app or at jaksa.run/garmin. Once you agree to the consent line, which links to Garmin Connect's privacy policy, your upcoming planned runs appear on your Garmin calendar as structured workouts, ready on your watch.
When your plan changes, the workouts on your Garmin calendar change with it, and runs that leave your plan are taken off. The Garmin settings show how many planned workouts are on your watch and name any workout Garmin did not accept.
Disconnect is always available in the Garmin settings, and disconnecting or deleting your Jaksa account also removes the connection on Garmin's side. You can also ask an AI assistant you connect to connect or disconnect Garmin, or whether it is connected.
The privacy page on jaksa.run now has a section explaining what is shared with Garmin when you connect it.
When you accept a change to your plan, a gym session no longer shows the notes of the session it replaced. When you start a gym workout, the session you loaded now stays loaded. Before, it could sometimes switch back to an older version.

Build 708 · 11 November 2026

Hear me on the lock screen and form goals in inches and feet

When your coach can no longer hear you while Jaksa is not on screen, the button on its lock-screen card now reads "Hear me", and one tap lets your coach hear you again without opening the app. Your coach asks for that tap when the card shows it, still offers unlocking and opening Jaksa instead, and tells you once it can hear you again.
If you use miles, your bounce and step-length goals are now shown and spoken in inches and feet. This covers the gauges, chart labels, your coach's form lines and answers from an AI assistant you connect. Before, they were always in centimetres and metres.
When you set a form goal in inches or feet, the controls start at round values and move in tenths of an inch or whole inches. You can also ask your coach or an AI assistant you connect for an exact goal such as 3.15 inches, and it is kept as you said it. Goals you saved before stay as they were.
If one music request fails and a later one starts your music, your coach no longer tells you the first one failed while your music is already playing. Anything else in its answer is still said.
On an account with a very long workout history, scrolling far down Me no longer makes iOS close Jaksa.

Build 707 · 11 November 2026

Clearer rep marks and a workout opening that follows your plan

When you start a planned workout, your coach's opening now leads into the steps you planned, including the warm-up. Before, it could sometimes describe an easy run that was not in your plan.
When a rep is off its target, its mark now shows the pace with its unit, so it is clear what the number means. On short intervals the warning stays compact so it still fits.
In the treadmill how-to, each caption now stays on screen long enough to read. The advice about Activate now appears only in the step it belongs to.
On your followers list, the Following and Remove buttons are now taller, with a clear gap between them, so tapping one no longer risks hitting the other. Names keep the same width as before.

Build 706 · 11 November 2026

A clearer top line on the workout pages and fewer lost coach replies

On the workout pages, the top line no longer cuts words short or slides over what sits below it on smaller iPhones. Before, past an hour the Coach page's name could shrink to "COA…", and a coach warning could cover the Splits page's name and dots.
When your coach cannot hear you, is reconnecting or is not there, the warning now shows in orange in place of the page's name, on every page, at the same size as the name. Tapping the coach shows its full status in a bubble under the line without moving anything else.
When space is tight, the Sensors button shows its count beside a Bluetooth mark, so a lone number no longer looks like a badge. A lost sensor still shows in red.
On gym workout pages, the elapsed clock now stays visible, also while you are paused, alongside "Workout paused" and your coach's warnings.
Your coach no longer sometimes leaves you waiting for a minute and then drops your question without an answer.

Build 705 · 11 November 2026

Faster paces are now explained in the distance unit you chose

When your paces get faster, the effort that earned it is now described in your own distance unit, along with the longer workout it was part of. Before, a runner who uses miles could hear something like "Your 3.2 km in 18:02 was your quickest 3.2" while every other number was in miles; now that effort is given as 2 miles.
This applies everywhere that effort is mentioned: on your coach's spoken line, on the fitness and progress pages, on the speed-up card and line in your training plan, when your coach looks back over your history, and in answers from an AI assistant you connect.

Build 704 · 11 November 2026

Your weekly totals now agree, and runs stay on the day you ran them

Your weekly distance and your biggest week now show the same figures everywhere: on the home screen, in your history summary, on the weekly bars and charts on jaksa.run, in your road to race day, and when your coach talks about how much you run. Before, these places could disagree with one another.
A workout now stays on the day you ran it, even after you travel to another time zone. Before, a Monday run could move to Sunday, count towards the wrong week of your training plan, or get the wrong date when your coach mentioned your longest run.
Your friends' most active this week now counts each friend's workouts on their own calendar, so a late evening run lands in the right week.

Build 703 · 11 November 2026

Clearer lap answers on the track and a lap banner that stays clear

On a track, when you ask your coach something like how many laps you need to finish ten kilometres, it now works out the answer for the lane you are running in. Before, it could say it was unable to work it out, or give a rough figure of its own.
On the workout pages, the lap banner such as "LAP 1" now sits above the round Mute, Hold to pause and Coach off buttons. Before, it could cover those buttons and their labels on the Splits page.

Build 702 · 11 November 2026

A clearer note when Bounce has no number to show

When the Bounce tile has no number to show, the note under its dash now reads "needs a strap or a watch", the same as Ground contact. Before, it said "needs strap, pod or watch", which could suggest that the foot pod you were wearing should fill it.

Build 701 · 11 November 2026

Your coach's first words stay clear as you head out the door

When you start an outdoor workout at home and walk out of your Wi-Fi, your coach's first words now come through clearly. Before, they could break up in the first seconds, and sometimes your coach dropped out altogether. Treadmill and gym workouts are unchanged.

Build 700 · 11 November 2026

Behind-the-scenes update with no visible changes

This build contains no changes you can see or use in the app or on jaksa.run. Running with your coach works the same as in the previous build.

Build 699 · 11 November 2026

Songs at your step rate, and answers late in long runs

Once in a while during a run, when your own music is playing and you are running at a steady rhythm, your coach may offer songs at the beat of your steps. If you already use songs at your step rate, it is not offered.
While your own music is playing, your coach no longer offers to put on music or a beat.
Questions about your workout so far, such as your average heart rate or your fastest kilometre, are now answered well into a long run too, including with Coach as a phone call. Before, late in a long workout your coach could say it could not work out your heart rate.

Build 698 · 11 November 2026

Start a workout with Siri, and cool-downs that ease the belt

You can now start a workout by asking Siri, for example "Start a run with Jaksa", or by your plan's names such as "start my easy run", tempo, long run, intervals or race. "Start my workout" starts today's planned workout without asking which, and with Coach as a phone call turned on it can start while your phone stays in your pocket.
When you ask your coach for a cool-down, for example 1 km after 10 km, it now starts at that point: a speed ramp stops and a treadmill your phone drives slows down, and outdoors your coach tells you to ease off. Before, it could only lengthen your goal while the ramp kept climbing.
Walking, running, cycling or rowing in a gym plan is now its own workout after the gym session, and after your last set your coach tells you to end the session and start it from Start. Before, a 30-minute incline walk could be treated as a single set. The gym editor in the app and on jaksa.run also has a second rest, "Before next exercise", beside the rest between sets.
When your Apple Watch and AirPods show the same steady heart rate, Jaksa now trusts both readings. Before, it could call each one stuck in turn, and your heart rate could switch back and forth between them during a steady stretch.
The Plan tab, in the app and on jaksa.run, now says in one short line which workout moved your race time and to what, such as "Your 21:48 5 km on 8 Nov moved you to 3:28:10." Your coach can still walk you through the full story.
When you follow a friend live, the second time on the Finish card is now labelled "total". The coach chat says "1 waiting" instead of "1/5", and the treadmill Hills page now has one set of speed buttons instead of two.

Build 697 · 10 November 2026

Routes followed both ways, and a yes to a track takes you there

When your coach offers to take you to a running track and you say yes, it now makes the route to that track. Before, it could answer that it could not find the track, especially one known only by the name runners gave it. Saying "home" or a street name still means that place, not the one just offered.
If you run a route you are following the other way, for example back home along it, your coach now follows it in your direction: turns, the street you go onto, the climbs ahead and the distance left all match the way you are running. Before, it could say "no more climbs" just before one, or give the turn for the opposite direction.
A route you finished at its far end is followed again when you run home along it, and your coach says nothing about what lies ahead until it knows which way you are going.
Your kilometre check-ins now just say what is left. Now and then during a workout, your coach adds a picture of what remains instead, such as "only a 10K to go", and it changes from one workout to the next. On a route you are following, this can be the climbs left or the next bridge, tunnel or turnaround.
After you stop a workout, a question you have already answered, such as whether to send the workout to Strava, is no longer asked again a few seconds later. Your coach asks only what is still open.
Your coach, and an AI assistant you connect, now suggest Jaksa features you have not tried less often, and never one you already use or have said no to. The Apple Watch app is no longer suggested if you already use it.

Build 696 · 10 November 2026

Pauses stay whole when your watch loses touch with your phone

If you pause a workout on your iPhone and your Apple Watch loses touch with the phone while you are paused, the pause now stays one pause. Before, the time the watch was away from the phone could be counted as running, which split your pause in two and added time you did not run.
Pauses you make on your Apple Watch now combine cleanly with the ones on your phone, so a workout no longer shows extra pauses lasting only a moment.
If you tell your coach about a problem after an earlier report on that workout has already been dealt with and closed, what you say now goes in as a new report. Before, it could be added to the closed report, where nobody would read it.

Build 695 · 10 November 2026

Your real lift bests, and a lighter feed during workouts

Your best set and session count for an exercise now take your whole gym history into account. Before, with a long history, an older heavier set could be missed and a lighter, newer one shown as your best.
When your coach tells you after a set that it was your best, it now compares it with every set you have logged for that exercise, not only your more recent ones.
If you asked your coach mid-workout for something only your own AI assistant could do, the card with what you asked for now still shows after that workout is merged with another, in the app and on jaksa.run. Before, merging could make the card disappear.
Crew and a runner's profile now use much less of your iPhone's memory, especially during a workout. Before, opening Crew mid-workout could keep a lot of memory in use until the workout ended. Maps, photos and clips in the feed now show again as soon as you come back to it.

Build 694 · 10 November 2026

Your coach louder over your music, and better asides on your runs

When you talk to your coach through your iPhone's own microphone, its voice is now louder over your music. Before, it could be quieter than your songs, and you had to turn the phone up for each line and down again for the music.
Say "louder, coach" or "quieter, coach" to change only your coach's voice, while "turn the volume up" still changes the whole phone. At the loudest or quietest setting, your coach tells you how to change the phone's volume instead, and when it talks about volume it now speaks of your phone's volume, not of music that may not be playing.
Your coach's voice level is kept with your account, and an AI assistant you connect can now read and change it.
If Jaksa does not know much about you yet, your coach makes fewer remarks during a run, leaves out jokes and mentions at most one place you pass. It talks instead about how today compares with your last workout, which can be a gym session, with the time you usually start, and with the usual temperature here at this hour.
For every runner, your coach now mentions a place you pass only when there is a real story to it, not an ordinary fact. Remarks on your run so far now name the kilometre by its number, because a line such as "your quickest kilometre so far" could already be untrue when you heard it.
On a treadmill, if you set a new speed and change your planned speed steps in the same request, the steps now start from the new speed. Before, they could start from the speed you had before and take the belt straight back down, and this is now fixed on a phone call with your coach too.

Build 693 · 10 November 2026

Press Start on a Technogym after a pause, and music after your coach

On a Technogym treadmill, after a pause you now restart the belt yourself with Start on the treadmill. Pressing Resume on your phone keeps the workout paused, and your coach says "Press Start on the treadmill". Before, the phone restarted the belt while the treadmill's screen stayed on its old view.
On a Technogym, the first Start of a new workout works as before. Other treadmills still let your phone start the belt after a pause.
When you come back to a workout you had left, your coach's welcome back now says the belt is stopped. On a Technogym it tells you to press Start, and on other treadmills it asks once whether to start it.
When your coach picks songs or a beat for you, the music now starts once your coach has finished saying what it picked. Before, it began straight away and your coach talked over it. If the music does not start after all, your coach tells you next time it speaks.
If you tell your coach to stop using Apple Music, or ask for different music, before the songs it announced have started, those songs no longer play.
When a workout really is your longest, your coach's note on it can now call it a distance record. Before, such a workout could end up with no note at all, and a note still never claims a speed record you did not set.

Build 692 · 10 November 2026

Change reps for the sets still to come, and a new assistant card

You can now ask your coach to change the reps for the rest of an exercise, for example "twelve reps from now on". Every set of that exercise you have not done yet takes the new number, sets you have done keep theirs, and your coach tells you which sets changed, such as "Shrugs: sets 2 to 4 are now 12 reps." Before, it told you it could not change them all at once.
After such a change, the reminder of your next set during a rest and the call that starts a set say the new number. If you change the weight and the reps in one request, both now apply.
Shrugs, with dumbbells or a barbell, are now in the gym library with a technique video, so your coach can tell you how to do them.
A new card shows how to use Jaksa from an AI assistant you connect and, once it is connected, how to let your coach reach it. It replaces the one-line invitation on Me in the app and on Crew at jaksa.run. It also appears at the end of a workout and in the coach chat, and a close button puts it away.
If during a workout you ask your coach for something only your own assistant could do, your coach tells you it cannot do that yet. The workout's summary then shows the card with what you asked for.
jaksa.run/assistants is now one page with a tab for each assistant, showing only the two steps for that one. The old addresses still work and open their own tab, and when you are signed in the page opens on your own assistant with the first step marked done.

Build 691 · 10 November 2026

Weekly gym sessions and a longer rest before the next exercise

You can now ask your coach to put a gym session on the same weekday every week. It first tells you which days and how many sessions that will be, and adds them once you say yes, until the end of your plan or for twelve weeks if you have none. Before, your coach could build the session but told you it could not repeat it.
Asking again for the same session updates its weekly copies instead of doubling them. A planned gym day on one of those days takes your session's sets, and if another gym session already has a day, it keeps that day and your coach tells you so.
You can move a weekly gym session to another weekday, and its old days come off at the same time. You can also stop it, for example with "stop my Tuesday session", once you confirm. Today's session and the ones you have done stay.
You can now have a different rest after an exercise's last set than between its sets, for example one minute between sets and two before the next exercise. Your phone times it, and your coach says and shows it as its own number, such as "2 min before the next". The first exercise of a superset still goes straight into its pair.
On an easy run, when your heart rate goes above your easy zones or comes back into them, your coach now tells you only your zone and heart rate. Before, it could add advice such as "ease off" each time.

Build 690 · 10 November 2026

Skip the plan questions, and plan weeks coloured by how they feel

If you ask your coach to skip the plan questions, it now ends the talk right away and writes your plan, filling in what you did not say and naming each choice it made. Before, it could not skip the questions, and you could hang up before any plan came.
If your coach does not yet know your race or goal, when you want to start, or how many days a week you can run, it asks just that before ending the talk. An injury you told it about is never guessed over, and your coach brings it up with you instead.
Plan week colours in the app and on jaksa.run now follow how each week feels: Base weeks look easy, cut-back weeks cooler and peak weeks hard. Before, a plan with two hard sessions a week could show nearly every week as orange or pink, and a week of only easy running now never shows as harder than steady.
The coach page at jaksa.run now fits narrow screens, and the card showing what your coach remembers about you fills in as it should.

Build 689 · 10 November 2026

Type to your coach during a workout

Every workout page now has a chat button. Tap it to type to your coach while your workout stays on screen above the chat. Your coach answers aloud and its reply appears as the coach's words.
If your coach's voice is off, its answer is still written in the chat, and if a message cannot be answered, the chat tells you so. What you typed and the answers are kept with the workout.
In a gym session, the button for your current set stays at the top of the chat. The quick words you can tap there are sent as a message to your coach and do not mark a set as done.
If you run in miles, the Start sheet and your Apple Watch now name today's planned workout in miles, for example Easy 6.2 mi instead of Easy 10 km. Races keep their own names.
What your coach remembers about you is now kept in one place, and you can read it on the coach page at jaksa.run. The notes card in the app is gone.
If your coach warns you of a hill and you turn into another street just after the hill begins, it now tells you the hill is not on your way after all. Before, the warning could stand.

Build 688 · 10 November 2026

Your coach now offers to build you your own page of numbers

Your coach can build you a dashboard, your own page of the numbers you care about, which you can open in the app and on jaksa.run. Your coach now tells you it can do this, in the chat at home or during a workout, when such a page could help you.
Your coach offers this only while you do not have a dashboard yet, and does not keep bringing it up. If you say no, it does not ask again, and once you have made one, it stops offering.
An AI assistant you connect to Jaksa now knows it can make you a dashboard too, so it can offer one as well.

Build 687 · 10 November 2026

One cheer near the end, and climb warnings taken back

Your coach no longer ends every split with a shout of its name. It now cheers you on once, near the end of a hard workout, and never on an easy run or a walk. The update just before that cheer sticks to your time and what is left, so the two no longer pile up.
Every coach voice now says its name as it is meant to sound, "Yahksa", including when you ask its name. Captions and saved conversations in the app and on jaksa.run still spell it Jaksa.
If your coach warned you of a climb or descent ahead and you then go a different way, it now tells you that the climb is not on your way after all. A hill on the way you actually take is still announced as before.
In a gym session, your coach now answers right away when you say done or go. Before, its reply could keep you waiting.
If you say go while your coach is still telling you your rest is up, it stops that sentence instead of finishing it, then moves on.
If your heart rate sensor goes quiet during a session and comes back stuck at a low number, Jaksa no longer uses that number as your heart rate.

Build 686 · 10 November 2026

Ask your coach for your training totals by week, month or year

You can now ask your coach for your totals over a day, a week, a month or a year, such as how far you ran, for how long, how much you climbed and how long you spent at each heart rate. This works for your other sports too, and for gym sessions it can tell you your sets, reps and total weight lifted.
An AI assistant you connect to Jaksa can now ask for the same totals, so it can answer questions about your training over any span.
A session counts once in your totals, even when the same workout also reached Jaksa from another app. When a workout was joined from more than one part, the break between the parts is not counted as training time.
Only gym sets you actually did count toward your sets, reps and weight; sets you skipped are left out.
If Jaksa does not know how much you climbed on a workout, your coach says so instead of telling you that you climbed nothing.
While your older runs are not all counted yet, your coach tells you which period a total covers, for example since a given month, and does not call it your total ever.

Your coach now says plainly what a gym session cannot keep

When you ask your coach to make a gym session repeat every week, or to hold a set pause between exercises, it now tells you plainly that Jaksa does not keep that. Before, it could say this was done when it was not.
Your coach then offers the nearest thing Jaksa does keep: it can give the session a name, so you can bring it onto any coming day by asking for it by name, and between exercises your rest ends when you say go.
If you ask for this together with other changes to the session, those changes are saved and your coach tells you which part was not kept. It no longer says every rest stays the same after you have changed one exercise's rest yourself, and no longer says nothing was put on a later day when it has just put a session there.
For a gym session you have already finished, your coach offers to bring that same session back on another day. If you did more than one session that day, the offer now brings back the one you meant, not another session from the same day.
Setting up a gym session with long exercise descriptions, such as a treadmill exercise with its speed, incline and minutes, no longer leaves you waiting a minute or two while your coach saves it.

Build 684 · 10 November 2026

Behind-the-scenes work, nothing new to see in this build

This build has no changes you can see or use, in the app or on jaksa.run. Your runs, your coach and your settings work exactly as in the previous build.

Build 683 · 9 November 2026

Your coach can now take a step your treadmill ramp missed

During a treadmill speed ramp you set up yourself, your coach can now move the belt to the ramp's next step on its own, for example to 13.6 when the step at 6 km did not happen. That step counts as taken, so the ramp's next planned change adds another step on top. Before, your coach could not change the belt at all during a ramp you had set, and the belt stayed a step behind.
Any other change your coach might make during such a ramp, such as a different speed, incline or intervals, is still left to you, as before.
When your coach takes that step, you hear the treadmill confirm the speed, for example "The belt is at 13.6 km/h", just as when you ask for faster yourself. Before, you could hear an odd line about your speed reminder, always in English.
If you have changed the speed yourself in the meantime, your coach's step no longer undoes it.

Build 682 · 9 November 2026

Setting a ramp's next speed yourself now counts as that step

During a treadmill speed ramp, setting the belt to the ramp's next speed yourself, on the treadmill or by asking your coach, now counts as taking that step early: the ramp moves on, and its next planned change adds another step on top. For example, on a ramp at 13.6 going up 0.1 every kilometre, setting 13.7 yourself now brings 13.8 at the next kilometre. Before, the belt stayed at 13.7 there, and the rest of the ramp ran a step behind.
If you have already set the belt past a step the ramp was about to make, the belt is no longer moved back to that step.
When you change the speed by more during a ramp tied to set points, such as "from 6 km, then every km", the ramp carries on from your speed but keeps its kilometre marks, passing over any already behind you. Before, it started its spacing again from where you changed speed. A ramp such as "every 100 m" still starts its spacing again from your change.

Build 681 · 9 November 2026

Treadmill ramps that start later now take their first step on time

When you ask for a treadmill speed ramp that starts later in the workout, for example "from kilometre 6, add 0.1 every kilometre" with the belt at 13.5, the belt now goes to 13.6 at 6 km and 13.7 at 7 km. Before, the change at 6 km could add nothing, so every later step came a kilometre late.
When you set up such a ramp, your coach now tells you what happens at its first point, for example "at 6 km, then every 1 km, treadmill at 13.6 km/h, then up 0.1 km/h". Before, the answer could leave out that the first step was missing.
If you name a speed and a ramp in the same request, the ramp now builds from the speed you just named. When you ask for several ramps at once, each one starts when the one before it ends. Before, a later ramp could start straight away or take over too early.
When a ramp is set to follow one already running, your coach now includes the starting speed you named, for example "at 12 km/h, then...". The first speed your coach announces is now never above the ramp's top speed, for example 18 rather than 18.5.

Build 680 · 9 November 2026

Asking for faster during a treadmill ramp takes its next step

During a treadmill speed ramp, asking your coach for "faster" without saying how much now moves the belt to the ramp's next step. Asking for "slower" on a ramp going down works the same way. Before, your coach always changed the belt by half a kilometre per hour, which could take you off your plan, for example to 14.2 when the ramp had you at 13.7.
After you take a step early, the ramp carries on from there at its usual spacing, and its next planned change no longer pulls the belt back down. If you changed the ramp earlier in the workout, "faster" follows the ramp as it is now.
With no ramp running, or when the ramp is going the other way, "faster" and "slower" still change the belt by half a kilometre per hour, and a speed you name is set as you say it. This also works when you ask through an AI assistant you connect.

Build 679 · 9 November 2026

Treadmill reminders can now set the belt speed at a given point

You can now ask your coach to set the treadmill speed or incline once at a given point, for example "at 1 km set it to 13.5". If Jaksa controls your treadmill, the belt changes then and your coach tells you the new speed; if not, your coach tells you the speed to set. Before, such a reminder was kept only as words, so your coach said it was changing the belt and nothing moved.
If you take over the belt yourself before such a change, for example by asking your coach to hold your speed or by getting off the treadmill, the change is dropped and your coach says nothing about it. A reminder that is only words no longer makes your coach say it is changing anything.
During a treadmill speed ramp, a speed you set yourself on the treadmill now stays, and the ramp carries on from it. Before, the ramp's next step could undo the speed you had just chosen. On a ramp going down, when your coach asks you to change the speed by hand, it now tells you to bring the belt down.
Times of an hour or more are now spoken in words, such as "60 minutes and 48 seconds" or "2 hours, 1 minute and 9 seconds", including your halfway time, split totals and best times. Before, your coach could misread a time like 60:48 as "one hour, forty-eight".
The speed chart of a treadmill workout now keeps a scale that fits your plan. Before, one wrong speed reading could stretch the chart so far that your plan showed as a thin strip along the bottom. Short, fast strides in a finished workout still fit on the chart.

Build 678 · 9 November 2026

Your coach now answers your questions late in long workouts

Late in a long or busy workout, your coach now answers when you ask it something. Before, it could reply "ask me again" several times in a row instead of answering.
When you ask about your running form during a busy workout, your coach now uses your current cadence and power. Before, it could answer without them.

Build 677 · 9 November 2026

Your coach can now add a song after the one playing

You can now ask your coach to add a song to play next, or at the end of the music you are listening to, without stopping what is playing. Before, your coach could only play a song you asked for straight away, which replaced your music.
With Spotify, your coach tells you where the song will play, for example next or after the songs already waiting. Spotify cannot put a song at the very end of your music, so your coach tells you that instead. Adding a song also works while Spotify is paused.
With Apple Music, the song is added to the list you are playing, and your coach tells you which list it was added to.
Adding a song never switches you to a different music app. If your coach cannot add it, it tells you before anything changes in your music.
When you chat with your coach at home and a song has been added but something goes wrong afterwards, your coach now tells you the song was added. Before, it could ask you to try again, which would have added the song twice.
If your Jaksa app is too old to add songs, your coach tells you to update it.

Build 676 · 9 November 2026

Asking for a song by name now plays that song

When you ask your coach for a song by name, it now plays that song, by the artist you named if you named one. Before, it could play a different song with a similar title.
Songs in your own Apple Music library are now found when you ask for them, also when you name the artist. Before, your coach could say it found nothing even though the song was in your library.
If no song matches what you asked for, your coach tells you the closest one it found and asks whether you want it, instead of simply playing it.
If Spotify turns a request down, your coach now tells you so rather than saying there is no such song. If your workout ends while a song is being looked up, nothing starts playing.
When you ask your coach to pass something to an AI assistant you connect and no answer comes, you now hear that sooner. Before, you could wait a long time and then hear that there was no answer.
If you ask to talk to your AI assistant without saying what about, your coach first asks what you would like to ask it.

Build 675 · 9 November 2026

No visible changes in this build

This build has no changes you can see in the app or on jaksa.run. Your runs, your coach and an AI assistant you connect all work as before.

Build 674 · 9 November 2026

Near the finish, your coach compares what is left to track laps

Near the end of a run that is not on a running track, your coach now puts the distance left as a comparison, for example "1 kilometre to go, on a running track that would be about 2 and a half laps". Before, it said "about 2 and a half laps of a running track", which could sound as if you were on one.
This makes the distance left easier to picture on a treadmill, on the road or on a trail, even if you have never run on a track.
On a running track nothing changes: your coach still tells you plainly how many laps you have left.

Build 673 · 9 November 2026

Clips from runners you follow play more smoothly

A clip from a runner you follow now loads once and then plays on repeat from your phone. Before, it kept loading again while it looped, which used more data and could make it stutter.
Refreshing your timeline no longer covers a clip that is playing with its still picture. The clip keeps playing.
If a clip cannot be loaded, its still picture shows in its place, and the app tries the clip again later.

Build 672 · 9 November 2026

Mention an injury during a run and your coach asks about it at home

If you mention an injury during a run before you have agreed to keep a health record, your coach now remembers it and asks you about it at your next talk at home. Before, it only told you that you could tell it again at home.
Your coach asks in the chat, in a voice chat before or after a workout, while you set up your plan, or through an AI assistant you connect. It does not ask during a workout.
Say yes and the injury is kept in your health record. Say no and it is not kept.
The Injuries page in the app and on jaksa.run shows any injury waiting for your answer, with an "I agree, keep" button and a "Don't keep" button.
Nothing about your health is kept without your agreement. An injury you never answer about is removed after a while, and clearing your health record or deleting your account removes it too.

Build 671 · 9 November 2026

No changes you can see in this build

This build has no changes you can see or use in the app or on jaksa.run. Your coach, your runs and your plan work just as they did in the previous build.

Build 670 · 9 November 2026

Your coach tells you once that it remembers what you tell it

The first time Jaksa keeps something you told it, such as a race, a goal or how you like to be coached, your coach says once that it will remember it for every workout and chat.
During a workout, your coach waits for a calm moment in your run to say this. At home in a voice chat, it says it at the end of its answer.
In the chat on jaksa.run, and through an AI assistant you connect, the same note comes with the answer the first time something about you is kept.
An injury is kept only once you have agreed to keep a health record. If you mention pain during a workout before Jaksa has kept anything about you, your coach tells you that you can tell it about the injury at home, where it asks for your agreement first.
When you test an AI assistant you connect on jaksa.run, a test still waiting for the assistant's answer now shows as waiting, not as a failure.

Build 669 · 9 November 2026

This build has no changes you can see or use in the app or on jaksa.run. Your runs, your coach and your plan work as they did before.

Build 668 · 9 November 2026

Your coach tells you it can coach your gym sessions too

During a run, your coach now tells you that Jaksa can coach a gym session too when you are at or near a gym, including the one you saved as your gym, or when you mention strength work. This also works on a treadmill inside a gym, and it never comes up during a gym session.
In the chat at home, typed or by voice, your coach tells you about gym sessions when you mention strength work.
When you talk your training plan over with your coach and say what you use the gym for, your coach now keeps your answer and mentions it back to you once. Before, your answer could be saved as if you did not go to a gym.
Once you have started a gym workout with Jaksa, your coach no longer tells you about gym sessions. If you say no, it does not bring it up again, and it does not repeat it often in any case.

Build 667 · 9 November 2026

Your coach suggests features at moments that fit your run

During a workout, your coach now suggests a feature to try when something in your run makes it useful. Before, these suggestions could come at fixed points in a workout whether they fitted or not.
Talking your training plan over with your coach is suggested at the start of a new plan, or on a day you set your planned workout aside or run well past it. Once you have talked a plan over with your coach, it no longer suggests it.
Letting friends follow your run live is suggested on the long runs and races of your plan, or when you mention that someone is waiting for you at home. If nobody follows you yet, your coach asks who should get the link and emails it to them. When your coach walks you through a plan, it also mentions once that friends can follow your long runs.
The live follow suggestion now still comes when nobody can watch your run yet. Before, sharing the start of a run from a new account with no followers could stop it from being suggested.
If you have been talking over your coach, it tells you once that you can change how much it talks.
Route suggestions now come when you run somewhere you have not run before, or after you have stopped and wandered around.

Build 666 · 9 November 2026

Your coach tells you that you can ask for any number

In your first coached workouts, your coach now tells you once that you can ask it for any number at any time, such as your heart rate, pace or distance. After that it does not repeat it.
If you are already asking your coach for numbers during a run, it does not tell you, since you know already.

Build 665 · 9 November 2026

Your coach saves tips and suggestions for easier moments

While you are working hard, on a hard part of a workout or up a steep climb, your coach now keeps its suggestions and tips for an easier moment instead of talking over your effort. This covers new features to try, places to run, sights and stories along your route, music to suit your running, the science behind your training, the tips on skipping a song and Announce Calls, and news about Jaksa.
These suggestions and tips also wait a little if you have just been talking to your coach, so they do not cut into your conversation.
When you have muted your microphone, your coach still tells you its tips, suggestions and news. Before, muting could hold back suggestions of features to try. Only something that needs your answer waits until you can reply.
A tip you did not get because you were working hard is no longer treated as heard, so your coach can still give it to you later.

Build 664 · 9 November 2026

Subscription prices show at once when you open the app

In Settings, the Subscription page now shows your prices as soon as you open it after starting the app, using the ones it last showed you. Before, the prices could take a moment to appear.
A free week is now only offered once the App Store has confirmed your account can still have one, so if you have since switched to an Apple ID that has already used its trial, the page no longer promises you one. Buy becomes available once your prices are confirmed.

Build 663 · 9 November 2026

Pages across the app open at once, and taps show immediately

The first time you open the app each morning, the coach line on home now appears straight away and names today's session. It looks a little quieter until it is up to date. Your fitness card and the Me row also appear at once instead of starting blank.
Opening Your coach now shows a new chat with its message box straight away, ready for you to type. If you were chatting with your coach a moment ago, here or on jaksa.run, that chat opens instead, but never once you have started typing. Cards in your coach's answers also show at once when you reopen a chat.
A planned workout now opens straight away from home or the Plan tab, and Start appears once the page is up to date. Skip, Put back and the setting chips change the moment you tap them. If a change cannot be saved, the earlier one comes back with the reason.
When you finish a run, its page now shows your run at once instead of a spinner. A workout opened from a card in Me, Crew or a runner's profile shows its date, title and numbers right away while the map loads.
A runner's profile or a progress dashboard you have opened before now shows what you last saw as soon as you open it, then updates in place.
In Settings, choices such as your weight, heart-rate zones, live sharing and your name now show the moment you tap them. Before, you waited for a spinner. If a choice cannot be saved, your earlier one comes back.

Build 662 · 9 November 2026

Your coach chat opens at once, and a quicker Account setting

When you open Your coach after the app has been closed, your last chat now appears straight away. Before, the screen could stay empty for a moment while it loaded.
In Settings, Account, choosing your sex now lights up your choice the moment you tap it. Before, the buttons were replaced by a spinner until the choice was saved.
If your choice cannot be saved, your earlier one lights up again and the reason appears at the top of the page.
If you change your mind and tap again, even after leaving the page and coming back, the last choice you tapped is the one kept.

Clearer hill calls, and how to subscribe on your last free run

On a hill you are already running, your coach now says so, for example "you're on a climb, about 4% so far", on climbs and descents and at every talk level. Before, it could sound like a warning that a hill was still coming.
When your coach warns you about a hill that lies past a fork you have turned off at on earlier runs, it now names the turn first, such as "if you go left". If it cannot tell which way the turn goes, it names no turn rather than a wrong one.
On your last free workout, your coach now tells you during the run that it is your last free one, what a subscription keeps and where to subscribe in Settings. Before, it only told you after you stopped. It is told, not asked, and your coach saves it for a calm moment, not while you are working hard.
If your coach did not get to tell you during your last free workout, it tells you when you stop, so you do not miss it.
Your coach now also saves its suggestions of features for calmer moments, not while you are working hard or have just been speaking.

Build 659 · 8 November 2026

Technogym treadmills get up to speed, and Jaksa's name at sign-in

When Jaksa sets the speed of a Technogym treadmill, the belt now gets up to your speed right after you press Start or Restart on the treadmill. Before, it could keep crawling slowly instead of reaching the speed you asked for.
If you change the speed or pause on the treadmill's own console just after starting or restarting, Jaksa now leaves your choice alone instead of setting its own speed over it.
When you sign in with Apple, Apple's sign-in sheet now shows the name Jaksa. Before, it showed an old name for the app.

Build 658 · 8 November 2026

Say no once and Jaksa stops asking everywhere

When you turn down an offer or tip from Jaksa, whether in the app, on jaksa.run or by telling your coach, it now stops on all of them. Before, closing the invitation to connect an AI assistant on your phone did not stop jaksa.run asking.
A no you give while you are offline still holds once you are back online, and an offer you have closed no longer briefly reappears. Tips, the Apple Watch hint and other offers you had already closed in the app stay closed.
Once you have used a feature, such as making a route, starting a live share or choosing your coach's voice, Jaksa no longer offers it to you as something new. A live share started from the app or from an email link counts too.
If you already use an AI assistant with Jaksa, Jaksa no longer invites you to connect one unless you ask about it.

Build 657 · 8 November 2026

A microphone that recovers by itself, and no Strava question for now

If your earbuds' microphone comes back after an interruption, such as a phone call, but stays silent, Jaksa now sets it up again by itself. Before, your coach could stop hearing you for a long stretch with nothing trying to fix it.
With Jaksa open on your screen, a silent microphone is now restarted without ending your conversation with your coach. Your coach only mentions it if it cannot get your voice back, and if you have muted your earbuds it tells you straight away.
When your coach tells you it cannot hear you while you are listening through earbuds, it now says it is your earbuds' microphone that is silent.
When you open Jaksa for the first time, it no longer asks whether to connect Strava, and Strava no longer appears under "What I can do" in Help and on the jaksa.run home page. This is for now, while Strava limits how many runners Jaksa can connect.

Build 656 · 8 November 2026

Photos on your summary screen, and the same controls on every page

After a workout is saved, its summary screen now has a "Photos and videos" card, so you can see your photos before you tap Done, add some from any day and remove ones you do not want. Photos that arrive later, for example from camera glasses, appear while the screen is open.
You can now put a workout's photos in order with arrows that move a photo one place, in the app and on jaksa.run, and your photos show in that order everywhere. Before, reordering photos on jaksa.run failed with a "not found" message.
Every page of a workout now has the same controls at the bottom: the microphone, Pause workout, the coach switch and End workout. Before, only the Coach page had a guarded End workout. On a smaller iPhone, the circle on the Coach page now shrinks so your numbers stay in view.
While you are moving, you now press and hold Pause, as you already did for End, so a stray touch no longer pauses your run. A ring on the button shows the hold, and in a gym a single tap still pauses.
Your head coach can now tell you what paused or resumed a workout, for example your watch, the lock screen, your voice or auto-pause.
If you have an Apple Watch without Jaksa on it, or your own strap or pod while "Use my sensors" is off, your coach now mentions once that it would give you better numbers. Settings, then Devices, says the same, with an Open the Watch app link for a watch without Jaksa.

Build 655 · 8 November 2026

A clearer greeting when you start a workout, and fewer repeats in chat

When you start a workout, your coach now greets you by name with one short line about your day, such as "Workout started, Emil, you walked 3.6 kilometres earlier today." Before, the greeting could be long, break off partway and carry on, or give a distance wrong.
Your coach's greeting no longer mentions "0 kilometres", and a gym session is now named by its exercises. If there is nothing from your day to mention, your coach greets you with a few words about the weather.
In the chat with your head coach, the coach no longer repeats news it has already given, such as "Done, sent to Strava", in different words after its buttons. If it corrects something it said earlier, you still see the correction.
When you answer your coach's offer of a step beat and ask about your account at the same time, you now get a reply to both. Before, the whole reply could fail with no answer.

Build 654 · 8 November 2026

Play your own music library, and alerts and reminders named in words

When you ask your coach to play your Apple Music library or your Spotify Liked Songs, it now shuffles your own songs, or plays the ones by an artist or from an album you name. Before, asking for your Apple Music library could play a stranger's playlist from the Apple Music catalogue instead. A band such as The The is now played as that band, not as your whole library or a similar-sounding artist.
"Play my most recent song" now starts with the song you added last, and "how many songs do I have" gets an answer. Before, the first played a song from the catalogue and the second ended in "I couldn't get an answer". If Jaksa has not been allowed to use Apple Music, your coach asks you to tap Allow and ask again.
Your coach no longer switches off one of your alerts on its own, for example after one hill warning came late. It now offers the change and waits for your yes. If it has changed an alert during your workout, it says so instead of telling you nothing was changed.
When your coach stops alerts or cancels a reminder, it now names them in words, such as: Reminder "drink" cancelled. Before, it could read out list numbers, as in "I've stopped 5, 10". A reminder set for a clock time keeps its minutes when your coach names it.
When your coach picks up a hill or speed ramp again after an interruption, it no longer reads out a step from an earlier ramp.

Build 653 · 8 November 2026

A workout your watch saved twice now counts once

When your watch saves one session twice as overlapping workouts, for example a short treadmill run inside a longer one, Jaksa now counts it as one session. Before, both copies were counted, so your weekly totals, your biggest week and your history summary could come out too high.
Runs already in your history are corrected the same way. Jaksa keeps the fuller copy and sets the other aside instead of deleting it, so nothing from your history is lost.

Build 652 · 8 November 2026

Fewer small hill warnings, and more AI assistants to connect

On the Normal and Quiet talk levels, your coach now warns you of a hill ahead only when it is a real climb. Small bumps no longer get a mention. On Chatty it still tells you about every hill it sees coming, and warnings about descents follow the same rule.
On a loop, a hill you come back to later in the run is announced again. Before, a climb close to one your coach had already mentioned could be taken for the same hill and go unsaid.
You can connect more kinds of AI assistant to your coach from jaksa.run, including ones you run yourself, and they can answer requests from your coach.
When you connect an AI assistant on jaksa.run, a problem with the address now shows right under the address field, including why a local address cannot be used. The setup command the assistant needs is tucked into a box you can open, and the page names the secret it asks for.
If an assistant takes the connection test in the app and never answers, the app now tells you to check that assistant's sign-in to Jaksa. In Settings, under Assistants, the line under "Add one" is now shorter.
Connecting an assistant again at the same address now saves it as the kind of assistant you chose this time. Before, it could keep the old kind, and the assistant then refused every request from your coach.

Build 650 · 8 November 2026

A new front page on jaksa.run and a download page for your phone

jaksa.run has a new front page, in light and dark to match your computer or a switch in the top bar. It shows the official App Store and Google Play badges, and on a computer a QR code beside them so you can open the app on your phone.
Download in the top bar now opens a download page that puts your own store first: the App Store on an iPhone, Google Play on an Android phone, and both with a QR code on a computer. The "get the app" links on the sign-in and follow pages go there too.
The front page no longer starts building a plan before you sign in, and the "Start free" button is gone.
The free first week is now promised only to visitors who are not signed in, since every new account gets it. Before, a signed-in runner who had already used their trial could still see it.
When subscriptions are not on sale, the front page says the coach is free for now instead of pointing you to a price.

Build 649 · 8 November 2026

Your warm-up and cool-down kept apart from the work

During any workout you can now say "that was the warm-up" or "cooling down now", and your coach splits the run into warm-up, work and cool-down from that moment. On a planned workout, "cooling down" goes straight to the plan's cool-down, and your coach never asks you about a warm-up.
While a warm-up, work or cool-down is running, the Workout page shows that part's own pace and clock in place of average pace and time left, while time and distance still count the whole workout. On Apple Watch, the main page shows the work's distance and time under your numbers.
After a workout with a warm-up, recoveries or a cool-down, the workout page in the app and on jaksa.run now leads with the work, such as "5.0 km tempo" with its time, pace and heart rate. The whole workout appears in grey beside it, with a strip of the parts by distance and a list of each part, and plain runs look as before.
The Crew card, the Me tab card and the workout list on jaksa.run show the work's distance, time, pace and heart rate, with one grey line for the rest, and their small maps draw the work in colour over the rest in grey. The Apple Watch end page also leads with the work and its own heart rate, with the whole workout in grey under it.
When you reach your target on a treadmill, the workout now pauses instead of ending, and with "Start and stop with the treadmill" on, the belt pauses too. Start the belt again soon after and your cool-down walk stays in the same workout; otherwise the workout ends. With that setting off, the cool-down starts right away and your coach tells you to end the workout yourself.
A warm-up or cool-down is no longer guessed from your pace: a workout is split only when your plan has those steps or you said so, and you can also tell your coach afterwards which part was which. Workouts sent to Strava now carry each part as its own lap.

This build has no changes you can see or use in the app or on jaksa.run. Everything works as it did in the previous build.

Build 646 · 8 November 2026

Your own AI assistant, real treadmill steps and a faster first plan

You can now connect your own AI assistant by its web address, so your coach can pass it requests during a run. Setup in the app, on jaksa.run and on the help page says plainly that an assistant you run yourself has to be reachable from the internet.
Treadmill speed ramps are now drawn as the belt's real 0.1 km/h steps, each flat at the speed you actually ran, on the Plan chart in the app and on jaksa.run, on the shape card, and on the Pace and Speed charts after your run. Before, a ramp could be drawn as larger grouped steps that showed speeds you never ran.
Short real steps on the belt now stay visible on narrow charts instead of being merged away. Speeds rounded to the belt's step no longer fall outside the edge of the speed and pace charts.
When you are new and your coach builds your first plan, it now arrives much sooner after you answer the last question. Before, it could take several minutes.
While your plan is being made, the screen now says what is happening in plain words, such as "Putting your plan together", instead of names like "Prepare update training".

Build 645 · 8 November 2026

Fewer wrong climb warnings, and assistants that set themselves up

When you run without a route, your coach is now less likely to warn you of a climb on a way you do not take. Before, the rise of a bridge could be announced as a climb, and a climb up a trail could be announced just as you reached a junction where you then went the other way.
Your coach also no longer stays quiet about a real climb ahead on a way you often run.
Some AI assistants you connect can now set themselves up to take requests from your coach during a run, with no key to paste. They appear under Assistants in Settings, in the app and on jaksa.run.
The Settings page for an assistant like this notes that it was set up from the assistant itself, and searching Settings explains why there is nothing to change there. Once you sign it out or remove it, your coach no longer passes it anything.

Build 644 · 8 November 2026

One Keep button for your plan in chat, and walks count in your week

When your coach puts up a plan in chat, whether you typed or spoke, a "Keep this plan" button now appears under its newest answer and keeps the plan straight away, just like the Keep on the Plan tab. Before, you could see two Keep buttons, and the one in the chat only sent a message.
If your coach revises the plan in the same chat, the new plan gets its own Keep button instead of showing "Kept". Other suggestions from your coach, such as saving the week to your calendar, no longer disappear while a plan is waiting for you.
Walks and every other kind of workout now count in "This week", the weekly bars and your biggest week. Before, a week of walks could read 0.0 mi and 0 workouts. The caption on the Progress bar now says "done" instead of calling every workout a run.
Right after you sign up and import your history, your coach no longer tells you your paces have moved just because older workouts arrived. Anything you run from now on is still reported.
If you have no goal or goal race saved, the chat no longer suggests "Am I on track for my goal?" and offers a different starter instead.
During some runs your coach may now share a short point from running science that fits your run, for example about heat, long runs, pacing or your heart rate drifting. These stay occasional.

Build 643 · 8 November 2026

Home now shows your free workouts and a way to subscribe

If you have not subscribed yet, a slim line under the Crew, Plan and Me tabs now shows how many free workouts you have left, or that they are used up, or that your subscription has ended. Tapping it opens Subscription in Settings. Before, you had to go through your avatar and Settings to find it.
jaksa.run shows the same line, in the same words, under the top bar on its Crew, Plan and Me pages. The line goes away once you subscribe, also when you subscribe on jaksa.run and come back to the app, or subscribe in another browser tab.
jaksa.run now always opens on its front page, and your Crew feed is at jaksa.run/crew. When you are signed in, the front page offers "Open Jaksa" instead of "Sign in".
Signing out on jaksa.run works again and takes you to the front page. Before, it could seem to do nothing and keep showing your Me page.

Build 642 · 8 November 2026

Your coach can now pass requests to your own AI assistant

During a run you can ask your coach to pass something on to an AI assistant you connect, such as "remind me to call Tim tonight". Your coach tells you it has asked, carries on with your run, and speaks the assistant's answer when it arrives.
When you connect an AI assistant to Jaksa, it offers once to set this up. If you say yes, you finish by pasting a key on a single page on jaksa.run, and you can see and remove your assistant under Assistants in Settings.
If your assistant is slow to reply when you test the connection, Jaksa now tells you the answer is on the way. Before, it could say your setup was wrong. If you remove an assistant, your coach no longer speaks an answer from it that was still on its way.
If your training plan is set by time rather than distance, as it is for new runners with no runs yet, "Your next 10 weeks" now sizes and colours each week by its minutes. Before, the training weeks showed as thin slivers beside a tall race week and were all coloured easy.
Strength sessions no longer make a week's bar look bigger, and a week with your goal race keeps the same colour before and after you accept the plan. The distances shown and spoken are unchanged.

Build 641 · 8 November 2026

Apple Health import shows its progress as workouts come in

When you import your workouts from Apple Health, the progress now moves with each workout that comes in. Before, it could stay at 0% for many minutes while workouts were already appearing in your feed.
Early in a large import, you now see how many workouts have come in so far, both on the import screen and on the Plan tab, instead of a percentage stuck at zero. Until the first workout arrives, it says the import is starting.
If the import has to try again, the progress carries on from what you last saw, including workouts added since it began, instead of going back to the start.

Build 640 · 8 November 2026

No changes you will notice in this build

This build changes nothing you can see or do in the app or on jaksa.run. Your runs, your coach and your training plan work just as they did before.

Build 639 · 8 November 2026

Opening the app is quicker and more reliable

Opening the app, especially right after an update, is quicker, and your home screen and plan load fully. Before, they could sometimes appear incomplete.
If you began your training plan many months ago, its earliest weeks still show the runs you did, both in the app and on your plan page on jaksa.run.
When Jaksa cannot work out the easy pace for your planned workouts at that moment, it now tells you it is busy and to try again shortly. Before, your planned workouts could appear without your pace.

Build 638 · 8 November 2026

No changes you will notice in this build

This build changes nothing you can see or do in the app or on jaksa.run. Your runs, your coach and jaksa.run work just as they did before.

Build 637 · 8 November 2026

Jaksa is now on the App Store and Google Play

The buttons on the jaksa.run home page now take you to the App Store and Google Play. Before, they asked you to email us to be added to the test.
jaksa.run/app is a download page that anyone can open. It shows both stores with your phone's store first, and on a computer it shows a QR code you can scan with your phone.
Opening jaksa.run/get on a phone takes you straight to that phone's store.
The page you reach by scanning a Jaksa QR code now points to the App Store and Google Play instead of the test version of the app.

Build 636 · 8 November 2026

Your coach now tells you when a sensor refuses to connect

If a foot pod or other Bluetooth sensor of yours is switched on and nearby but keeps refusing to connect during a run, your coach now tells you once. It says what you are missing because of it, such as your cadence, and that nothing from that sensor is kept for this run. Before, its readings were simply missing without a word.
This notice is kept with your run, so an AI assistant you connect can see that the sensor refused to connect.

Build 635 · 8 November 2026

Runs that already reached Jaksa are no longer treated as unsent

If you stopped a run while your coach was still talking and closed the app soon after, Jaksa no longer treats that run as unsent the next time you open it without a signal. Before, a run that had already arrived could be counted as waiting on your phone. A run that has not arrived yet is still sent the next time you have a signal.

Build 634 · 8 November 2026

Your coach now brings things up on its own

On Normal and Chatty, your coach now brings things up on its own during a run, at moments when they fit. It might mention how often you have run here this year, a best you set around this date in an earlier year, whether today is warmer or colder than your recent runs here, the weather, something it remembers about you, a place you are passing, or now and then a light joke.
You can ask your coach to stop these remarks without muting anything else, or to drop only the jokes. After your run, what it brought up is listed in a Brought up row in the app and a "What the coach brought up" card on jaksa.run.
When your coach talks about your weight, it now gives your latest weigh-in with its day, and gives your recent trend separately as "trending around". The same applies in the app, on jaksa.run and for an AI assistant you connect. Before, it could give the trend as your weight, such as 102.4 on a morning your scale said 101.1.
A peak heart rate from short interval reps no longer becomes your learned maximum heart rate and counts only as "at least" that number. Before, short pickups could set a maximum that was too low, so your ordinary running pace showed as zone 5. A maximum you set yourself is unchanged.
When you sign in on a computer with a QR code, the browser and place shown on the Approve card now always describe the device that actually showed the code. A stranger can no longer make their code look like it came from your own computer.

Build 633 · 7 November 2026

A foot pod you are running with now always stays in view

A foot pod that is sending your cadence is now always counted on the Sensors button and shown in your sensor list. If an idle foot pod starts counting partway through a treadmill run, it appears again straight away.
A foot pod that counted earlier in your run and then drops to 0 is no longer mistaken for a spare. It stays in your sensor list and is still raised as a problem with your workout, where before it could be left out and excused.

Build 632 · 7 November 2026

Idle foot pods drop out, and your coach names only causes it can show

On a treadmill, a foot pod that sends nothing while you run, such as one left on a spare pair of shoes, no longer counts on the Sensors button. It is also left out of your sensor list in the app, on jaksa.run and for an AI assistant you connect. Before, it was counted even though it read 0 the whole time.
That idle foot pod is no longer raised as a problem with your workout. A foot pod on the shoes you are running in that reads 0 still is.
Your coach now gives a reason for something in your run only when your numbers back it up, and otherwise says it does not know. This applies to its notes, what it remembers about you, its read of your day and what it says to you. Before, it could name a cause that your own numbers contradicted.

Build 631 · 7 November 2026

Your coach sums up once, and Apple Health keeps the whole workout

After you stop, your coach now sums up your workout once. Before, it could give the summary a second time and ask again about Strava after you had already answered.
News about your weight or goals that your coach already gave you during the workout is no longer repeated in the summary at the end.
If Apple Health stops recording partway through a workout, Jaksa now starts it again, so Health keeps the whole workout with no minute counted twice. Before, Health could keep only the part before it stopped.
Treadmill speed ramps now show as steps instead of a smooth slope on the Plan chart, a treadmill workout's shape card, a saved run's Pace chart and the Speed chart at the finish, in the app and on jaksa.run. The lime fill follows each step, and the Speed chart now rises straight up at each speed change.
When a later, faster ramp raises the top of the chart, the steps already drawn stay as they were. Your run still keeps every small speed change for your watch and for an AI assistant you connect.

Build 630 · 7 November 2026

Your coach names only the treadmill speed you are really at

When you change the treadmill speed yourself, your coach no longer announces a speed the belt has already left. Before, it could say "belt's at 9" after you had set 8.9, and sometimes said it twice.
When you push the speed past a running ramp, your coach no longer says the ramp is carrying on from a speed you have moved away from. Before, it could say "carrying on from 10" after you had gone up to 11.8.
If you stop the treadmill, including just after a lost connection, your coach no longer tells you the belt is still running at a speed.

Build 629 · 7 November 2026

Treadmill ramps wait their turn and show your speed at the finish

When you set a treadmill speed ramp to begin later in your run, the ramp already moving the belt now carries on until then, and the new ramp continues from the speed the belt has reached. Before, setting it ended the running ramp straight away. A ramp that starts at once still replaces the one running, and your coach now tells you which of the two happened.
A ramp waiting to begin now appears in your briefing and on the plan card. If you change the speed yourself before it begins, it starts from your new speed.
When your goal for the day ends the workout before a speed ramp reaches its top, your coach now tells you the speed you will be at when you finish, such as 12.9 km/h at 10 km. The step card and your live page show the same. Before, it named a top speed you would never reach.
If you did not name a top speed for a ramp, the top your coach uses is now labelled as Jaksa's pick, not as part of your request.
An AI assistant you connect now tells you whether a ramp you keep for your next workout runs after a ramp you kept earlier or replaces it.
After a phone call or a lost connection, your coach now says how long it was away the way a person would, such as "about 3 minutes", instead of "187 seconds".

Build 628 · 7 November 2026

Ask for a treadmill speed ramp and a distance goal in one go

When you ask your coach for several things at once, such as a speed ramp and a 10 km finish, it now sets all of them. If one part is something it cannot do, it tells you so. Before, it could set only one of them and leave out the rest.
When you ask for a treadmill speed ramp in stages, each later stage now starts where the one before reaches its top speed. If you name your own starting point for a stage, that point is kept.
When you set a reminder or ramp that runs until a distance, that distance no longer replaces your goal for the day.
Your coach no longer tells you to ignore something it said earlier in your workout, as if the line had come out late by mistake.
Jaksa no longer keeps trying to connect to a heart rate sensor that keeps failing for the whole workout, such as another runner's strap nearby. It tries such a sensor less and less often, and things go back to normal once it connects.

Build 627 · 7 November 2026

Your coach confirms the treadmill speed once the belt is really moving

When Jaksa starts a connected treadmill, your coach now tells you the belt speed only once the belt is actually running at that speed. Before, some treadmills reported your speed straight away while the belt was still crawling, so your coach could announce a speed you were not yet running at.
If the belt stays slow after starting, Jaksa now asks the treadmill for your speed again so the belt picks up. Before, you could be left on a crawling belt until you changed the speed yourself.
While the belt is getting up to speed, pausing from the app or on the treadmill, changing the speed on the treadmill, or ending the workout now works straight away. A pause stays in place, and Jaksa no longer sets the belt back to the speed it had asked for.

Build 626 · 7 November 2026

Android workouts stay smooth after time in the background

On Android, coming back to a workout that kept running with the screen off or behind another app no longer freezes Jaksa or makes it use more and more of the phone's memory. Before, a long stretch out of sight could leave the app stuck for several seconds when you returned to it.
When Jaksa looks through your Apple Music library to find the beat of each song, a single song it cannot read is now left out and the rest of your library is still checked. Before, one such song could stop the whole library from being checked, and the count of songs checked so far now leaves out the songs that were skipped.

Build 625 · 7 November 2026

Workouts on Android keep going while the phone charges

On Android, a workout no longer ends on its own when the phone is charging with its screen off, as can happen on a treadmill or in the gym. Before, Android could close Jaksa partway through a run to back the app up.
Jaksa is now left out of Android's automatic app backup. Your runs are kept with your account and are not affected, but if you reinstall the app, a few choices made on that phone and any workout not yet sent will not come back.
On iPhone, nothing looks or works differently in this build.

Build 624 · 7 November 2026

Your coach says yes when you ask if it can pass on feedback

When you ask your coach during a run whether it can send feedback to the people who make Jaksa, it now says yes and asks what you would like to tell them. Before, a question like "can you send feedback to the makers?" could go unanswered. Telling your coach the problem straight away still works as before.

Build 623 · 7 November 2026

No changes you can see in this build

This build adds nothing new to the app or to jaksa.run, and nothing you use looks or works differently. Your coach, your runs and your settings stay as they were in the previous build.

Build 622 · 7 November 2026

No changes you can see in this build

Nothing in the app or on jaksa.run looks or works differently in this build. Your runs, your coach and your settings carry on as they did before.

Build 621 · 7 November 2026

No changes you can see in this build

This build changes nothing you can see or use in the app or on jaksa.run. Your runs, your coach and everything from the previous build work as before.

Build 620 · 7 November 2026

Stretching moves now open short videos on YouTube

Each of the nine stretching moves now opens a short video from a physio, hospital or running-coach channel on YouTube, in the app and on jaksa.run. The drawn stick-figure clips are gone.
A move's card shows a still from the middle of its video, not the video's title card, and says it comes from YouTube and which channel made it. Tapping it opens the video the same way gym exercise videos open, and your stretching routine's clock pauses while you watch.
Two moves now describe what their video shows: one is done on a step or a stool, and side leg swings are done with a hand on a wall.
On jaksa.run, opening a stretching video with a middle-click now pauses the routine too, and a click right at the end of a move now opens that move's video.
When you ask your coach, or an AI assistant you connect, for the next bridge during a run, it no longer names a bridge you have already run over, unless your route or a lap takes you over it again. A small footbridge just ahead of you now counts as next, a bridge you ran under is not treated as passed, and a creek is no longer called the river.
When your coach talks about what lies ahead, it now has a better sense of which way you are going around bends and how fast you are moving.

Build 619 · 7 November 2026

Make a workout small and keep using the rest of Jaksa

Starting a workout used to close off the whole app. Now a chevron on every workout page makes the workout small, so home and the rest of Jaksa are free while your workout keeps recording.
While the workout is small, a bar at the foot of the screen shows the time and your distance and pace, or your current gym set. It has the same buttons as your lock screen: Pause, or Resume and End while paused.
When you pause, the bar shows Paused in small letters under the time and leaves out your pace, so the time stays where it was.
Tap the bar to bring the workout back to full screen. It also comes back by itself when your coach moves you on to the next part of the workout. The bar stays in view under Settings, every Settings page and the chat.
During a workout, Sign out and Delete account are not available, and voice and dictation in the chat are greyed out. Sounds you play from Settings, the chat, stretching or voice messages wait so they do not talk over your coach.
If you end a workout from the bar while you are in Settings, Settings closes and your coach's talk after the run follows as usual.

Build 618 · 7 November 2026

Jaksa now sets up a Polar Verity Sense for you

When a Polar Verity Sense that Jaksa has not met is near your phone, the Devices screen now asks whether it is yours, with Mine and Not mine, and tells you your phone will ask once to pair it. You no longer need the Polar app, and the pod is no longer left unused just because nobody tapped it.
Your coach may also ask whether you are wearing a Polar sensor pod it is picking up. Saying yes sets it up. Saying no, or tapping Not mine, means it is not treated as yours again, in the app or on your account.
If your phone could not reach a pod, Jaksa tries it again by itself the next time it is heard, with no tap needed. The message now also says the pairing request on your phone may have been dismissed.
A pod's card in the app shows its firmware next to Polar's newest, and if the pod was left in fast mode, Jaksa puts it back. The card's lines are shorter. On jaksa.run each pod appears once, with its firmware and mode and with Not mine and Forget buttons.
When your coach talks about a past run or walk, it only says the numbers came from your watch when they did. Cadence counted by your phone is no longer credited to your watch.
An AI assistant you connect now sees each pod once, with whose it is, its mode, firmware, battery and when it was last heard, and it can mark a pod as yours or not yours, or forget it.

Build 617 · 7 November 2026

Nothing new to see in this build

This build changes nothing you can see or do in the app or on jaksa.run. Your runs, your coach and your settings work as they did before.

Build 616 · 7 November 2026

No changes you will notice in this build

This build changes nothing you can see or do in the app or on jaksa.run. Your runs, your coach and your settings work exactly as they did before.

Build 615 · 7 November 2026

Ask your coach for your heart rate before you start

In the talk before a workout, you can now ask your coach whether your heart rate is reaching your phone, and it reads your sensor and tells you the number. Your coach never calls a sensor that is not yours your own.
If it takes a moment, your coach tells you it is reading first, so you are not left waiting in silence. If no sensor can be heard, it tells you that your AirPods and Apple Watch only join once you press Start.
Pressing Start during a check stops it straight away and your workout begins as usual, picking up your strap. The number from the check is not repeated once the workout is under way.
Nothing changes when you simply press Start without asking.
An AI assistant you connect can now also ask for your heart rate before a workout. This needs this build of the app on your phone.

Build 614 · 7 November 2026

A button to start and end your gym sets

In the gym you can now move through your sets with a button instead of speaking: it says "Set done" during a set, "Start set" during a rest and "Start hold" when a hold is waiting for you. It is the biggest button on the gym pages in the app, the first button on your lock screen and on your Apple Watch's gym page, and the first in the notification on Android.
During a gym workout your lock screen shows your current set or rest where pace and distance usually are, the rest counts down by itself, and Pause is greyed out. After your last set, the set button no longer stays on the lock screen.
Tapping the button and saying "done" for the same set counts only once, so doing both never skips a set. This also holds on supersets, where a "done" said just after a tap no longer ends the next exercise.
If you start a gym session partway through your workout, the button now says "Start set" and starts your first set, and your coach no longer tells you to go as well. Before, there was no button for that first set, so you had to speak. The circle that says "Tap or say "go"" can be tapped again.
The gym pages are easier to read: the coach page no longer repeats a line, the rest time is bigger, and exercise names keep their own capital letters.

Build 613 · 7 November 2026

Your full coach in the free minutes of every workout

On the free plan, after your free workouts are used, the free first minutes of each later workout now come with your full coach, just as a paying runner hears them. Before, those minutes only had the simpler voice that reads out your numbers.
If your coach has something to tell you just as the free minutes end, it is not lost: you find it in that workout's conversation in the app, with a notification.
The Subscription page in the app and jaksa.run now say that the free minutes include your full coach.

Build 612 · 7 November 2026

Your coach knows where you are on a call, and pod heart rate anywhere

During a "Call me" call, your coach now knows where you are on your run, so it can answer questions about places near you, your route and the weather. Before, it said it could not tell where you were.
This also works when you run with only your Apple Watch and leave your phone at home. If a workout from your watch carries on on your phone, the call follows it, and ending early on the watch no longer hides a workout still going on your phone.
On a call, your coach now sees all your heart-rate readings, as it does in the app, so a short peak is never missed.
Your pod's heart rate is now used wherever you wear it, not only on your forearm. Before, a session with the pod worn elsewhere could end with no heart rate at all.
A pod you have worn before is now treated as yours from the very start of a workout, and your heart rate no longer drops out when the pod is your only heart-rate source.
Your iPhone's heart rate is no longer called "the AirPods" when you are not wearing AirPods. The page where others follow your run now shows which heart-rate source is in use, and a quick restart no longer shows the previous workout's.

Build 611 · 7 November 2026

Behind-the-scenes work with no visible changes

This build has no changes you can see or use in the app or on jaksa.run. Your coach, your runs and your plans work just as they did before.

Build 610 · 7 November 2026

Stories about places ahead and the next bridge along your way

When your coach tells you about a place on your run, it now does so as you approach it on the way you are running, so you hear the story before you get there.
Ask your coach where the next bridge is and it now names the next bridge over the main river along your way, not a small bridge over a creek or one you have already passed.
Your coach also tells you roughly how far that bridge is and says when the distance is only approximate.

Build 609 · 7 November 2026

Your coach picks up where it left off after a dropped reply

If your coach stops mid-reply and comes back, it now still remembers your conversation and gives you the answer to what you asked. Before, that answer could be lost and you had to ask again.
This applies both during a workout and when you talk to your coach from the home screen.

Build 608 · 7 November 2026

Three free workouts, gym steps by voice and aid stations for followers

New runners now get three free workouts with every part of the coach open, just as if they had subscribed. After the last one, the finished screen shows a See subscription button above Done, one tap from the plans. Before, the offer only appeared after Done. The plan you built stays, and anything hidden when the free workouts end comes back when you subscribe.
Your coach now opens a workout using your first name, your most recent workout from any source and the weather.
In a gym session, saying "go" or "done" now moves you to the next step right away, in any language your coach speaks. Before, the coach could say it was with you while the set did not start. Now it answers once the step has moved, and saying you are not ready gets its own reply.
A heart rate that suddenly drops to a very low number and stays stuck there, as can happen in the gym, is no longer counted. Your average and zones now reflect your real heart rate, and the good readings before the drop are kept.
On a race course Jaksa knows, the follow page on jaksa.run, the follow screen in the app and an AI assistant you connect now list the aid stations still ahead. Each shows the time the runner should reach it at their average pace, and the map shows the stations. Signed-in followers can turn on a notification shortly before each station, which is off by default.
The aid station list is easier to read outdoors, with larger distances.

Build 607 · 7 November 2026

Behind-the-scenes work, nothing new to see in this build

Nothing you can see or do has changed in the app or on jaksa.run in this build. Your coach, your runs, your plan and your workouts all behave as they did before.

Build 606 · 7 November 2026

Behind-the-scenes work, with no changes you can see

This build changes nothing you can see or do in the app or on jaksa.run. Your runs, your coach and your workouts work just as they did in the previous build.

Build 605 · 7 November 2026

Watch starts follow your plan, and no hills applies on routes

On your Apple Watch, tapping a row on the start page now starts the same thing that row starts on your phone. A planned workout starts with its plan, distance and steps, and plain Gym starts your own session and leaves your planned one for later. Before, every Gym started from the watch took your planned session, and no run started from the watch followed a plan.
Starting a workout on your Apple Watch right after finishing another no longer loses the run on your phone, and it now starts as it should. A planned walk you changed into a run now starts as a run, instead of a walk carrying the run's plan and distance.
If you sign out just after starting a workout from your Apple Watch, your phone no longer starts tracking your location afterwards.
When you ask your coach for no more hills, or no more downhills, this now also covers the hill calls on a route or race course you follow. Before, you still heard them there. Muting the course's calls still quiets them, and the route's and course's directions keep coming.
When a turn comes together with a hill you muted, you now hear the turn on its own, also on a phone call with your coach and over your music. A muted hill no longer makes your phone buzz.

Build 604 · 6 November 2026

The route map card now shows downhills as well as climbs

When you follow a route or course, the hill card on the map now shows downhills as well as climbs, with how far the road drops and how long the descent is. Before, the card showed only climbs, so a downhill your coach announced did not appear on screen.
The card shows the hill you are on, or else the next one coming up.
When a short dip lies inside a longer climb, as on some race courses, the card now shows the slope you are actually running on. Before, it could keep showing the long climb and hide the dip.

Build 603 · 6 November 2026

Behind-the-scenes work, with nothing new to see in the app

This build changes nothing you can see or do in the app or on jaksa.run. Running, your coach and your workouts work as they did in the previous build.

Build 602 · 6 November 2026

Downhills are announced, and slow answers no longer go quiet

Your coach now tells you about downhills as it does about climbs: while you run them, ahead of time, and on a route or course you follow. Muting hill calls quiets downhills too.
On a route or course, you now hear about each hill. Before, a hill could sometimes go by without a word.
When your coach is working on something for you and it takes a while, it now tells you it is still on it, and if no answer comes, it says so and asks you to ask again. A late answer is still given. This works in the app, on jaksa.run and on a phone call with your coach.
When sharing comes up, your coach now talks about your followers and offers a link only when you ask for one. If nobody follows you yet, it says so and tells you how a friend can start following you. Saying "share this" now shares at once.
If your workout is shared only with followers or with people you picked and you ask your coach to email the link or to let someone watch, it now asks you once and, after your yes, opens the workout to anyone with the link and sends it. Before, emailing the link from such a workout was refused.
The sharing notice on screen now explains that followers can watch you live, also if nobody follows you yet. After you stop a workout, your coach no longer says people can watch it live.

Build 601 · 6 November 2026

Easy days stay planned after hard runs, and quieter goodbyes

A tempo run, intervals or a race on another day no longer counts as your planned easy run for the week. The easy run now stays ahead of you, or shows as missed if the day has passed. Before, your coach could tell you an easy run was already done and that you could skip it.
When you ask your coach to change something, such as the treadmill speed, it now says it will look into it instead of saying the change as if it had already happened. Before, asking for a new speed could get "Okay, treadmill at 12" while the belt had not moved yet.
After a workout, saying "End the workout" or that you are done now ends the conversation with your coach. Before, your coach could give you the recap again and keep talking.
Your coach's goodbye after a workout no longer repeats the summary or praises the workout. Before, it could say "Good work today" after a workout below your usual.

Build 600 · 6 November 2026

Gym holds count time, carries count distance, and a free Gym start

In a gym workout, a hold such as a plank now counts time instead of reps. The clock starts when you say go or tap the time, counts down on your phone, your Apple Watch and the lock screen, and your coach tells you when it ends. Tapping the time while it runs ends it early. Before, a one-minute plank had no clock and nothing was said at its end.
A carry now counts distance instead of reps. The screen shows the metres covered, or a dash until there are some, and the set ends when you say so. Short carries stay in metres even if you use miles.
Your workout keeps the seconds and metres of these sets, and you can correct them on jaksa.run or through an AI assistant you connect. People following your workout on jaksa.run see the hold's clock, and a done said late no longer skips the next hold.
Tapping plain Gym on a day with a planned gym session now starts a blank workout called Your own session and leaves the planned one open, as Run, Treadmill and Walk already do. Sets you say during it are kept beside your plan instead of changing it. On a day with no gym session planned, plain Gym still loads the next session of your programme.
The planned session's own row, your coach and your watch's Gym row still start the planned session. Before, plain Gym could sometimes start blank right after a planned session had been replaced.
A planned gym session with no exercises listed now shows its title, also when you resume the workout. Before, it showed Nothing planned yet right after you chose it by name.

Build 599 · 6 November 2026

Your coach keeps your language, and a fuller treadmill graph

If you ask your coach to speak another language before or after a workout, your coach now carries on in that language. Before, it could slip back to the language it had been using.
If you ask for a new language and a workout in one breath, the workout still starts, and your coach's goodbye at the end stays in its own voice.
After a workout, your coach now answers you out loud in its own language, even if it caught a few words of another one. Before, a few stray words could turn the whole answer into another language and have the numbers said twice. Typed chat still answers in the language you write in.
On a treadmill or a ramp, the Plan graph now fills its width from the start once the speed is known. Before, the graph could start far too long, so a usual 10 km showed 1:40:00 across while the plan was drawn for about 45 minutes, and then it jumped.
A saved treadmill workout now shows the way ahead at the belt's last speed, as the graph showed it live, even if you cancelled a ramp along the way.

Build 598 · 6 November 2026

More varied music, and your watch shows your phone's heart rate

When you ask your coach for music to run to, you now get a varied mix of lively, well-known songs, including ones popular where you live, and asking again brings songs you have not had yet. Before, you heard the same handful of songs every time.
If you name a style or an artist, your coach now finds songs of that style or by that artist from anywhere. Your coach no longer says your library is empty while songs are playing, and if Spotify does not start the songs your coach picked, asking again plays them.
Your Apple Watch now shows the same heart rate as your phone when your phone is using another heart rate sensor or has set aside a reading from the watch. Before, the watch could show its own reading, sometimes in the top zone's colour, even when your phone had set it aside.
Splits are now coloured by the heart rate your phone uses, and when your phone has used a different heart rate from your watch's, the summary after you press End gives your phone's average.
When you connect a Technogym treadmill, the Connected screen now offers to start the belt, and tapping Start starts it. Before, the screen could show your last workout as soon as you connected, with no offer to start, and tapping Start could stop the belt instead.
After you pull the safety key, a Technogym treadmill still counts as stopped. A treadmill standing idle at home no longer shows a last workout.

Build 597 · 6 November 2026

Room to answer after you unmute, and clearer help when locked

If your coach asks you something while your microphone is muted, unmuting now leaves you room to answer. Before, another question or offer could come straight on top of the one you were unmuting to answer. This also holds if the connection drops and comes back, or if you mute again.
If you switch your coach back on while your iPhone is locked and it cannot start, your coach now tells you to unlock your phone and open Jaksa, a notification stays until you do, and your music or podcast comes back. Before, your earbuds could go silent and your podcast stayed paused. Opening Jaksa or pressing the microphone button starts your coach again.
A gym set you correct out loud or through an AI assistant you connect now keeps the reps and weight you gave. Before, the watch's reps and the planned weight could later replace your correction. A weight you say before a set also stays when the watch fills in the reps.

Build 596 · 6 November 2026

Videos and descriptions for every gym exercise

Every gym exercise on the session page, in your plan and in a finished workout now shows Video or No video, and tapping it opens its description and video, in the app and on jaksa.run, live follow included. Before, videos sat on a later page and only for the exercise you were on. Under the orb, Watch how opens the current exercise.
Your coach can open any exercise for you by name, during a workout or on a phone call, and tells you on your first gym session that it can. An AI assistant you connect can also look up an exercise's description and video.
More exercises now find their video, including ones known by another name, and the plank and heel touches have joined the library. An exercise you added yourself says so and gets a description, marked as not from the library. Someone viewing a shared workout without signing in is now told to sign in to read a description, where before it said it could not be fetched.
Your coach no longer repeats a goal or health message in its closing words when you end a workout. Before, a message you had already heard could be told a second time.
Jaksa no longer warns about weak GPS on phones whose GPS is working well. Before, some phones were marked as having weak GPS for most of a run.
Forgetting a treadmill on one phone no longer removes a treadmill you connected later on another phone.

Build 595 · 6 November 2026

Titles for the whole workout, and a coach that knows what you heard

When you end a run and then carry on with it, or merge two runs into one, the title and coach's note now describe the whole workout. Before, they kept describing only the part before you first pressed End, so a 6 km run could reach Strava described as a run of just over 1 km.
A title or note you wrote yourself stays as you wrote it when you carry on or merge.
If the workout has not gone to Strava yet, it goes with the new title and note. If Strava already has the earlier part, that activity keeps its own title and note, and any changes you make yourself still reach it.
Undoing a merge brings back the first part's title and note.
When your coach finishes a message in fewer words than it planned, it no longer treats that as you having cut it off, and if it left out something you need, it can tell you afterwards. Before, your coach could carry on as if you had missed things you had heard, or as if you had heard things it never said.
Replying straight after your coach has finished speaking no longer counts as talking over it.

Build 594 · 6 November 2026

Enter your weight in Settings, and steadier music around your coach

Settings in the app and on jaksa.run now has a Weight row where you can type your weight and see where the current one came from. Before, if no weight from a scale reached Apple Health, there was nowhere to enter one.
Jaksa uses whichever weight was recorded most recently, whether you typed it in or it came from Apple Health.
When your coach needs a moment to look something up, your music now stays paused while you wait and until the answer has been spoken. Before, your music could come back before you heard the answer.
If you talk to your coach through the iPhone's own microphone rather than your earbuds, the coach's short sounds no longer knock your earbuds off your music. Before, your earbuds could drop out for a moment and Apple Music could stop.
Your music now starts again more reliably after your coach finishes speaking.

Build 593 · 6 November 2026

Your coach now offers to connect your own AI assistant

On the Me screen, the invitation to connect an AI assistant now sits right under your own row near the top. Before, it sat below all your progress cards, where few people saw it. It is still one line, and a close button hides it.
When you are signed in on jaksa.run, you now see the same invitation, placed under your plan.
Your coach in the chat, and your voice coach when you talk before or after a run, may now suggest connecting an AI assistant. It comes up once, after answering a question about your plan or your data, never during a run, and never if you already have an assistant connected.
If you ask about it, your coach walks you through the steps to connect one.

Build 592 · 6 November 2026

Nothing new to see in this build

This build has no changes you can see or use in the app or on jaksa.run. Your runs, your coach, your plan and your saved conversations work just as they did in the previous build.

Build 591 · 6 November 2026

Bring back a named gym session by its name

You can now ask for a gym session by the name you gave it, such as "do my Monday push", and Jaksa puts that session on today's plan. Ask your coach, type it in the chat, or ask through an AI assistant you connect. Before, you could only repeat a session by naming the day it was on.
Any name shown on your plan works, whether you have done that session yet or not. The answer tells you which day the session came from.
If a name matches none of your sessions, nothing is added to your plan, and Jaksa lists the names you have given your sessions.
Names work in any alphabet. Two names that differ only by an accent are treated as two different sessions.

Build 590 · 6 November 2026

This build brings no changes you can see or use in the app or on jaksa.run. Your runs, your coach and your plan work as they did in the previous build.

Build 589 · 6 November 2026

Your treadmill comes to a new phone, and your talks are saved whole

When you and your coach speak at the same time, the saved conversation now keeps each of your lines whole, in the app, on jaksa.run and for an AI assistant you connect. Before, overlapping speech was chopped into lines of a word or two.
A very long stretch of talk now carries on in a new line, so the rest of your conversation is still saved. Your coach also keeps hold of the last thing you said in a long stretch, where before it could lose it.
On a new or reinstalled phone, Jaksa now uses the treadmill your account already knows, including what it learned about the treadmill's speed units. Before, the phone acted as if it had never met it. A treadmill already saved on the phone still comes first.
A treadmill you forget now stays forgotten, including one you forgot before you were signed in. If Jaksa finds a new treadmill just after you forget one, the new one is no longer removed.
When more than one account uses the same phone, each account's forgotten treadmill now stays forgotten. Before, one account forgetting a treadmill could undo the other's.

Build 588 · 6 November 2026

Clearer microphone defaults, and your coach speaks standard French

When you switch to the iPhone's microphone during a workout, your coach no longer immediately offers to make it your default. It becomes your default only when you clearly ask for that. Agreeing in passing or complaining about how it hears you does not change it.
When you move back to your earbuds while the iPhone's microphone is your default, your coach now tells you it is still your default and what to say to change that. Before, nothing told you.
In a gym session, when your coach offers you the iPhone's microphone, it now reminds you to keep the phone close.
When your coach speaks French, it now uses standard French with a Parisian accent, never a Québécois one, including when it speaks over your music. If you asked for a particular regional accent or your phone is set to Canadian French, your coach keeps to that.
With Coach as a phone call on, asking for another language or accent now changes it during that call. Before, the call kept the language it started with.
If you have not chosen a language, your coach now speaks over your music in your phone's language.

Build 587 · 6 November 2026

You can now name a gym session by voice, and the name is kept

When you ask your coach to save a gym session under a name, such as "call it Monday push", the name is now kept and your coach tells you what it was saved as. Before, your coach could agree to the name while the session kept its old title.
A finished gym workout now takes the name you gave its session, even one given during the workout. It shows on the workout's page on jaksa.run, in your feed, on Strava and to an AI assistant you connect. A name you give the finished workout itself still comes first. Before, a finished workout kept a name Jaksa made up.
Renaming a session from your programme keeps its place, so the right session is still due next. Your coach's advice about legs still treats it as the session it really is.
A session's name now stays when you change its exercises again, such as asking your coach to drop the curls.
When your coach rewrites your plan, your programme no longer skips a session.
Naming a session during a workout leaves the rest of your workout as it was, so a rest you skipped stays skipped.

Build 586 · 6 November 2026

Gym sets you log without a weight are now kept

When you tell your coach the reps of a gym set but no weight is known for that exercise, the set is now kept with its weight left blank and your coach asks you for the weight. Before, these sets were dropped without a word, so a whole exercise could go missing from your session.
The next weight you give your coach for that exercise fills in its blank sets from today. Exercises done with bodyweight alone are never asked about.
A set with a blank weight is never counted as bodyweight, a personal best or a first, and your coach does not suggest a heavier weight based on sets with no weight.
On jaksa.run, a set with a blank weight shows an add weight option so you can fill it in yourself, and an AI assistant you connect can see and fill it too. A weight you add by hand now stays when that set is updated later.
When your coach cannot log a set you describe, it now tells you so instead of staying silent.

Build 585 · 6 November 2026

A timer you ask for during a gym set now really runs

When you ask your coach for a timer during a gym session, such as a one-minute timer, it now actually starts one, and your phone buzzes and your coach tells you when the time is up. Before, your coach could say the timer had started when nothing was timing.
Saying only "go" during a gym session still moves you on to your next set, with no timer.

Build 584 · 6 November 2026

A rest time you set for a session now carries to new exercises

When you ask your coach for a rest time for a session, such as one-minute rests, exercises added to that session later now use it too. Before, newly added exercises went back to the usual rest. An exercise you have given its own rest keeps it.
When you add an exercise to a session yourself in the app or on jaksa.run, it now starts with the session's rest time. Saving the session in either editor keeps that rest time.
When your coach adds an exercise to a session, it now tells you which rest time it used.

Build 583 · 6 November 2026

Faster paces now come as good news, not an order to speed up

When your coach tells you your paces have got faster, it now says so as good news, such as "Good news, your paces got faster." Before, the message could start with a bare "Faster." and once came out as "Pick it up." a minute into a steady workout, which sounded like an order to run harder.

Build 582 · 6 November 2026

No changes you will notice in this build

Nothing you can see or do has changed in the app or on jaksa.run. Your runs, your coach and your settings work the same as before.

Build 581 · 6 November 2026

Workout status and sensor warnings no longer cut off

The top line of the workout pages now shows its words in full on every iPhone, including the smallest. Before, on a small screen "Workout paused" could read "Workout p..." and the warning about lost sensors could be cut down to part of its count.
When space is tight, the lost sensors warning now always shows how many sensors are lost, shortening its wording first.
For runners in miles, the rolling pace tile now reads "Last 0.25 mi". Before, it used a quarter sign too small to read.

Build 580 · 6 November 2026

Clearer tiles on the Splits page

The rolling pace tile on the Splits page now names its stretch in your units, so a runner in miles sees it headed in miles beside a pace per mile. Before, it read "Last 400 m" next to a pace in miles.
In the list of tiles, on jaksa.run and through an AI assistant you connect, that tile is now called "Rolling pace".
The short notes on small tiles now fit inside the tile on every iPhone, including the smallest, instead of being cut off partway.
These notes now name gear you can recognise. Cadence says it needs a step counter, Bounce says it needs a strap, pod or watch, and heart tiles say they need a heart sensor, which includes a chest strap as well as AirPods or a watch.
The rolling pace note now says it waits for the first metres, as Average pace does. Before, it pointed to GPS or a treadmill.

Build 579 · 6 November 2026

A clearer closing line when a run falls short of your usual

When a run falls short of your usual, your coach now ends by saying what fell short, plainly and without praise. Before, you could hear only that the run was below your usual, often right after "Nice one".
The note Jaksa adds to your run on Strava now describes its comparison as your runs since you started with Jaksa. Before, it could call the same comparison "your usual run".
jaksa.run no longer shows a "Resume on my phone" button. You resume a workout on your phone, by voice or through an AI assistant you connect.

Build 578 · 6 November 2026

Behind-the-scenes work, nothing new to see

This build brings no changes you can see or use in the app or on jaksa.run. Running, coaching and your runs on jaksa.run work as they did in the previous build.

Build 576 · 6 November 2026

One offer a workout from your coach

During a workout, your coach now makes at most one offer: a story, a place to run or a reminder about a Jaksa feature. Before, you could hear several in the same run, such as a story, then a place, then a reminder only minutes apart.
An offer your coach does not make in one workout is kept for a later one, so you can still hear it on another run.
A place to run is now suggested no more than once in a workout. Before, the same place could come up a second time, for example after a suggestion was cut off and picked up again.

Build 575 · 6 November 2026

Just your numbers after free minutes, and fewer offers on a track

After your free coaching minutes end, the voice that reads your numbers now says only your numbers: splits, laps, heart rate zones, climbs, pace and reaching your target. Before, it said it would only read your numbers and then added praise such as "Nice pickup, keep it going."
When you stop a workout after your free minutes, you hear one sentence with the workout's numbers, without a comparison to your usual runs or a verdict. Before, it could say something like "below your usual run." The Strava question still follows.
A split that falls just as your free minutes run out, or during a phone call, is now said with the next split instead of being skipped. You still hear the cadence and weather alerts. If you ask for your heart rate zone, you get an answer.
When you run laps on a track, your coach no longer offers to tell you about places you pass or suggests a place to run. A place suggestion can come once you leave the track, and stories you already said yes to carry on.

Build 574 · 6 November 2026

Split times that match everywhere, and places named in full

The time your coach tells you for a mile or kilometre during a run is now the same time you see at the end of the workout, on jaksa.run and in an AI assistant you connect. Before, the same split could differ by a few seconds between what you heard and what you saw afterwards.
When your coach suggests a place to run, it now always says the place's name, how far away it is and the whole reason it suggests it, including details such as open weekends only. Before, it could leave out the name or part of the reason.
Your coach no longer skips a place suggestion for no reason. Before, a suggestion could go unsaid, and that place was then not offered again for a long time.

Build 573 · 6 November 2026

Checking your sensors at home, and a cleaner goodbye from your coach

When you talk with your coach at home, Jaksa now listens for your sensors for the whole conversation, and your coach tells you when a new one appears, such as a heart rate strap or a footpod. Before, you could only check a new sensor by starting a workout.
Your coach can mention your sensors from its first words. If two of the same kind appear together, it tells you once instead of repeating the same sentence. With Bluetooth off, it no longer says it can hear a sensor, and it still greets you if your iPhone's Bluetooth is slow to respond.
When your free coaching minutes end and your coach says goodbye, it no longer starts a new suggestion, story or question afterwards. Before, you could hear a nearby place offered after the goodbye and then cut off mid-sentence. Your coach still answers you and still tells you anything about your safety.
After you stop a workout, your coach no longer suggests a place to run. Once you have moved on, it does not offer a place near where you were earlier. If you did not hear a suggestion to the end, your coach can still offer that place later.
When you run without a distance or time goal, your coach no longer tells you that you are almost there.

Build 572 · 6 November 2026

Asking for music mid-run, and a coach that keeps hearing you

When Jaksa is in the background and music is playing, your coach now hears you again soon after something else takes over the sound, such as a FaceTime call. Before, it could stop hearing you for several minutes.
Jaksa no longer closes unexpectedly during a workout while another app is holding your phone's sound.
If your account has no music connected, setup now offers Apple Music, even on an iPhone that had Jaksa on it before. Before, a new account on such a phone was never shown the music step.
If you ask for music during a workout with nothing connected, your coach now connects Apple Music and starts playing, asks you to tap Allow, or tells you where the switch is in your iPhone's settings. Before, it only sent you to Settings.
If you pause your workout before tapping Allow, the music does not start by itself later, and nothing connects after the workout is over.
If you choose Stop using for music, your account remembers it and music stays off.

Build 571 · 6 November 2026

Weight in pounds when you use miles, and truer distances to places

If your units are set to miles, your coach now tells you your weight and your weight goal in pounds, and jaksa.run and an AI assistant you connect show them in pounds too. Before, you heard kilos in a workout that was otherwise all miles and feet.
When you are within a pound of your weight goal, your coach now says you have less than 1 lb to go. Before, the sentence could name the same weight twice. Switching between miles and kilometres does not make your coach repeat goal news it has already given you.
When your coach suggests a popular place such as a park loop or a long riverside path, the distance and direction it gives now lead to the nearest part of it. Before, it could send you about a mile away to a loop that passed right next to you.
If you are already right beside such a place, your coach says so. It does not offer to take you there or suggest a farther one of the same kind instead.
Workout ideas no longer round a nearby place's distance up to 1 km, so a place close to you is described as close.

Build 570 · 6 November 2026

No visible changes in this build

This build makes no changes you can see or use in the app or on jaksa.run. Your runs, your coach and your reminders work as they did before.

Build 569 · 6 November 2026

Your coach can now give a reminder on every workout

You can now ask your coach to give a reminder on every workout, not just your next one. You can set it by voice during a run, in the chat at home, or through an AI assistant you connect. Before, a reminder only lasted for your next workout.
Each workout you start includes your every-workout reminders. To stop one, tell your coach to drop it for good, even if it has already come up today.
If you change when a reminder comes just for today, your coach tells you it stays at its usual moment on later workouts. Saying "for good" changes it for every workout straight away.
If you move a reminder from your next workout to every workout, including by saying yes in the chat at home, it moves over and you get it only once.
Treadmill speed, incline and pace step-ups cannot be every-workout reminders. Set those up as a planned workout instead.
Your coach now and then mentions that you can keep a reminder for every workout, and stops once you have kept one.

Build 568 · 5 November 2026

Your coach now starts out chatty and waits for your name

If you have never chosen how much your coach talks, it now talks at the Chatty level, which also reads out your numbers between its usual moments. Before, you started on Normal. If you have ever chosen a level or asked your coach to talk more or less, it stays where you asked.
If you tell your coach to talk less on every workout, it now goes down to Quiet or lower. Asking for Quiet, Normal or Chatty by name always gives you that level.
If you signed in with Apple and chose to hide your email, your profile picture in the app and on jaksa.run now shows a plain outline. Before, it could show a letter taken from the address Apple made up for you.
When you delete your account, Jaksa now asks Apple to forget it too, so if you come back you start fresh and Apple shares your name again. If your account is older, Apple's sign-in screen may appear once while you delete it, and the app tells you why beforehand and shows what Apple still holds.
When your coach asks your name, it now waits until you have answered. Before, it could carry on talking before you had replied. Your coach also never takes "Jaksa" as your name.

Build 567 · 5 November 2026

Running on through a stop you carry on straight away now counts

If you end a workout and carry it on straight away, and you kept running in between, the time and distance of that stretch now count on the workout screen, in your saved run and in its splits on jaksa.run. A kilometre or mile you passed during it gets its split where you passed it. Before, that stretch was always left out as a pause.
If you stopped or slowed right down in between, or it is not clear you kept going, the stretch stays a pause as before.
Your coach now tells you which of the two happened, and only says nothing was lost when that is true. An AI assistant you connect gets the same answer.
If you run in miles, your coach tells you about that stretch in miles and your pace per mile. Before, you could hear metres and a pace per kilometre.

Build 566 · 5 November 2026

Your Apple Watch taps at each split and joins a run in progress

At each kilometre, mile or lap, your Apple Watch now gives a tap and shows a full-screen card with the split, its pace and time, and one tap anywhere clears it. Without an Apple Watch your phone buzzes instead, and the notice also shows in the app and on your lock screen. An earlier note said the kilometre call came with a buzz on your watch, but that only becomes true with this build.
When today's planned distance or time is done, you get the same notice once, with your time, average pace and average heart rate, or your distance if the plan was for a time.
Split notices are on by default. You can turn them off in Settings under "Split notices", on jaksa.run, through an AI assistant you connect, or by telling your coach "stop the split buzz". Asking your coach to be quiet does not turn them off, and your Apple Watch keeps your choice.
If you open Jaksa on your Apple Watch after starting a workout on your phone, or Jaksa only arrives on the watch then, the watch now joins that workout without a tap and shows its time and distance so far. Before, it could do nothing at all, or show 0:00 and 0 m as if a second workout had begun. Your run is saved once to Apple Health, and time you cut before the watch joined is no longer taken off twice.
If Jaksa cannot reach your photos, a workout now keeps waiting for its pictures for the usual few days instead of losing them, and after a reinstall your phone asks for access again. The finished screen and the workout's page tell you how to turn access on, with a button to do it, and if you allowed only some photos they say so and let you pick more.

Build 565 · 5 November 2026

Asking your coach to talk less now means this run only

When you tell your coach during a workout to talk less, or say something like "you don't need to coach this", it now changes only that workout. To change it for every workout, say "always", "from now on" or "on every workout". Before, such a remark could change how much your coach talks on all your runs.
If you ask your coach to talk less while no workout is going on, it now applies to your next workout only, unless you say "always". If you say "always" just after a change, your coach keeps the change you just made for every workout. An AI assistant you connect changes it the same way.
Your coach now says "Hill here" only while you are still on the climb, and tells you when the climb is done. Before, it could say "Hill here" at the top of a hill and "Climb done" about a minute later. Lines about your heart rate zone, your pace and a race course are likewise no longer said once they are out of date.
A kilometre split is no longer lost when you are talking with your coach. It is said once you have finished, and if two are waiting, your coach says both together.
Pictures that reach your phone's photo library a while after a workout, for example from glasses that sync through their own app, a camera import or AirDrop, now join that workout for a few days after you stop. Before, they were left out. A picture you have taken off a workout is not added back.

Build 564 · 5 November 2026

Your best now means all-time, and resuming by voice is quicker

When your coach, the app or jaksa.run calls something your best, it now means your best ever. Anything over a shorter stretch says since when, with a date, such as "since 10 Sep". Before, you could hear or read "in the last eight weeks", "recently" or "this month" without knowing from when.
When your paces change, the sentence about it on your Plan card now stays the same on every day it shows. While your coach is still reading your running history, "on track for" says "so far".
When you ask your coach to resume a workout you have just stopped, it now answers at once and your workout starts again much sooner, with the same voice carrying on. Your Apple Watch catches up a moment later. If the workout cannot be resumed, your coach tells you why.
If you ask for something just as a talk with your coach ends, it is still done.
When you ask for music at a beat, ask for faster music, or play one of your saved Jaksa playlists by name, your coach no longer offers music at a different beat for the rest of that workout. Before, it could offer 160 soon after you had asked for 180. It still talks to you about your steps.

Build 563 · 5 November 2026

On a moving treadmill, a plain "pause" now pauses your music

When you run on a treadmill with the belt moving and your music playing, saying just "pause" now pauses your music, and saying "resume" afterwards starts it again. Before, a plain "pause" paused your workout and could stop the belt. Saying "pause the workout" or "pause the belt" still does exactly that.
If you have paused your workout while the belt keeps running, a plain "resume" resumes your workout.
Your coach now says what it paused, such as "Workout paused" rather than just "Paused".
When you run outdoors, a plain "pause" still pauses your workout, as before.

Build 562 · 5 November 2026

Running tracks get names, and your highest heart rate is truer

When your watch's heart rate at the start of a run follows your step rate instead of your pulse, those early readings no longer count as your highest heart rate in the saved workout or in your coach's summary at the end. Before, a run could be saved and summed up with a peak heart rate well above anything you reached. A real drop in heart rate, such as when you stop to recover, is still kept.
When your coach suggests a running track nearby, it can now call it by the school, stadium or park it lies in. Before, most tracks had no name, and your coach often offered "a running track with no name". An AI assistant you connect sees these names too.
An oval that may not be a real running track is still not offered as your nearest track, even when it lies inside a named park.

Build 561 · 5 November 2026

A tap in your pocket no longer ends a run

While you are moving, the End button now reads "Hold to end workout" and ends the workout only when you hold it, with a bar filling as you hold. A quick tap shows a reminder to hold instead. Before, a tap in a pocket could end a run without you noticing. When you have stopped or paused, one tap still ends the workout, and the help guide and sample workouts show End the same way.
When your coach suggests a running place nearby, it now suggests only the nearest of each kind, such as the closest track. Before, it could suggest a track farther away while two were much closer. A place it has suggested can be suggested again after a while, and until then it does not offer a farther place of the same kind instead.
Your coach makes at most one place suggestion in a workout, also after you go back into a workout you ended. Saying yes answers only its latest suggestion, and it no longer mentions a place near where you were once you have run on. An unnamed oval that may not be a running track is no longer offered as your nearest track.
When you ask for a style of music at a beat, such as country at 175, your coach now plays that style rather than your own songs. If it knows none in that style at that beat, it says so and offers running songs it does know at that beat, and plays them if you say yes. Before, it could play something else without saying why.
When your coach offers songs at a beat and you say yes, it plays those songs, not your own library, and songs already played in this workout are not offered as new. If you ask it to stop the music while your own songs play, it just stops, and it no longer asks the same music question again after you go back into a workout you ended.

Build 560 · 5 November 2026

Timed updates say their units, and your coach knows why a run ended

Your coach's timed updates, every 5 minutes, at each distance you set, or once at a time or distance, now say each number with its unit in your own units, such as "3.48 kilometres, 20 minutes and 56 seconds, pace 5:53 per kilometre, heart rate 124". Before, your coach could read out bare numbers like "three forty-eight, twenty fifty-six", or only say that five minutes were up.
When your heart rate zones are estimated, a timed update that mentions your zone now says the zones are an estimate, as zone warnings already did.
If you ask your coach why a workout ended, it now tells you what actually ended it: Stop on the screen, your watch, the lock screen, your voice, reaching your target, the treadmill, your Garmin, a long pause, or signing out. Before, it could guess at an error or say the reason was not recorded.
This also works when you ask right after ending a workout, before resuming it. For a workout you went back into, your coach can name each time it stopped, including when the app crashed or was closed.

Build 559 · 5 November 2026

Treadmill workouts now wait for you before the clock starts

When your phone connects to a treadmill, the workout clock no longer starts the moment the treadmill is found. A full screen now shows "Found it" and then "Connected" with a tick, and nothing starts until you tap.
You can tap "Start at" a speed to start the workout and the belt together. Your saved speed is already selected, nothing is selected the first time, and a planned workout shows its first speed. Your coach does not ask you for a speed.
Tap "No, I'll start the belt myself" to start the workout and leave the belt to you.
If the treadmill can only be read and not controlled, the belt is already moving, the treadmill is still showing the end of its last workout, or "Start the belt for me" is off, you see one sentence and a "Start workout" button.
If you press Stop on the treadmill during the 3-2-1 count, the workout does not start. If you start the belt on the treadmill yourself before tapping, the belt keeps the speed you set there.
If the connection drops before you tap, "Connected" goes away. Going back lets go of the treadmill, and starting the workout from your watch still takes the treadmill into it.

Build 558 · 5 November 2026

Patchy heart rate no longer gives a misleading average

When your heart rate was missing for much of a workout, Jaksa no longer shows an average or highest heart rate, time in zones, or heart rate per kilometre or lap for it. Instead, one sentence says how long your heart rate was recorded. Before, a long walk could show an average taken from a few readings near the start, and your coach could read it out in the closing summary.
This now holds everywhere you see the workout: the screen after you stop, the workout's page, the summary on your watch, jaksa.run, your coach's closing summary and an AI assistant you connect. Your heart rate readings are still kept, and older workouts are updated in the same way.
Workouts imported from Apple Health keep their heart rate numbers as before, including when a friend who follows you looks at them.
Crew and Me now refresh your older workouts too, so a workout changed elsewhere no longer keeps its old card. Before, if you merged two runs on jaksa.run or through an AI assistant you connect, Crew could still show them as two cards.
While your older workouts refresh, their cards stay on screen. If the refresh fails, the app now says so.

Build 557 · 5 November 2026

Music comes back after calls, and a silent Garmin is explained

After a call during a workout, including a call from your coach, your music now comes back on its own in the player you were using: Apple Music, the Music app or Spotify. Before, it could stay off until you asked for it.
If you paused your music yourself, it stays paused after the call, and Jaksa never starts music you did not have playing before the call.
If your own Garmin is connected but sends no heart rate because no run is going on the watch, the app now shows this and your coach tells you to start a run on the watch. The sensor list and the live page on jaksa.run show that reason instead of calling the watch lost, and the Garmin settings and guide explain that you need both Broadcast Heart Rate on and a run going on the watch.
When you ask your coach to set a goal or a reminder, or to call you, it now takes effect even if your phone's connection drops for a moment. Before, the change could be made but never reach your phone.
When your music starts, your coach no longer makes up a change you did not ask for. Before, it could say something untrue, such as that it had changed your workout target.
When you draw a route in the app or on jaksa.run, the preview line now comes through a brief network hiccup. Before, it could tell you the route could not be found.

Build 556 · 5 November 2026

Treadmill speed ramps hold, and pods moved to your arm give heart rate

When your coach starts a speed ramp on a treadmill during a planned workout, the belt now keeps the ramp's speed until you say otherwise. Before, the next step of the plan could set the belt back to its own lower speed, even though your coach had said the ramp would hold.
While a ramp is running, the plan's steps still change things the ramp does not, such as the incline, and your coach tells you the speed stays on the ramp. Asking your coach to hold your speed, or to go back to the plan, ends the ramp.
Your expected finish time, the Plan chart and the follow page on jaksa.run now show the ramp's speed across all the steps left, with each step still shown as its own kind. Before, they showed the speed dropping at the next step.
If you start a workout with a pod on your back and move it to your arm, Jaksa now reads your heart rate from it. Before, a pod that started on your back gave no heart rate for the rest of the workout, even after you moved it.
If you move a pod to your arm without saying so, Jaksa now notices on its own and starts reading your heart rate from it.

Build 555 · 5 November 2026

Spoken email addresses and messages to friends work better

When you say an email address aloud so your coach can send your live link, it now takes it as an address. Before, it could treat it as a name, your phone asked about your contacts, and the link was never sent.
If your coach cannot make out an address you said, it asks you for it again and reminds you that you can also send the link with your phone's share button.
When you ask your coach to message a friend and the name fits more than one person, it now asks straight away which one you mean and tells you nothing has been sent yet. Before, it could say it would pass the message on and then send nothing.
Once you name the right person, your message goes to them without you having to say it again. It only goes to one of the people your coach asked you about, and if you say a full name, your coach picks that person.

Build 554 · 5 November 2026

No visible changes in this build

This build has no changes you can see or use in the app or on jaksa.run. Your runs, your coach and the website work as they did in the previous build.

Build 553 · 5 November 2026

Calls from your coach work better, and paused podcasts resume

When your coach rings you, it now keeps speaking up until you answer. Before, it could say its first line before the call reached your earbuds and then wait in silence.
If you mute the call or it goes to voicemail, your coach no longer keeps asking "can you hear me?".
When a call from your coach ends, your music comes back as it does after any other call. Before, the app could stumble during the call and leave your music paused.
If your coach's call paused a podcast in another app and you ask to resume it, your coach now tells you to press play on your headphones or in that app, and only then offers music. Before, with Apple Music or Spotify connected, it could say nothing was queued and ask you for a playlist.
If your phone's connection drops for a moment, the home screen no longer says "Could not check your routes". Jaksa now tries again on its own.

Build 552 · 5 November 2026

Steady stretches carry on, and your coach follows through

If you change your workout's steps while on a steady stretch, the stretch you are on now carries on. Before, your coach could restart it from zero and say about four miles were left when you had under one to go. A new block such as "1 km hard from here" still starts when you ask for it.
When your coach says it will take something on, such as a goal you mention in passing, it now does. Before, it could say "Let me take that too" and then do nothing about it.
If one part of a request during a workout cannot be done, your coach now still answers you and carries out the rest, such as changing how much it talks, saving a note or switching units. Before, one failed part could drop the whole request.
Your coach no longer reads out bracketed text such as "(steps)" in an answer, and tells you when it could not confirm that a change was made.
If no answer comes at all, your coach now simply says it could not get an answer and asks you to try again.

Build 551 · 5 November 2026

Earlier hill warnings and a tidier Apple Watch workout screen

Your coach now warns you about a hill before you reach it more often, and also mentions gentler hills. Before, many warnings came when you were already climbing, and a warning is no longer given once you have started up the hill.
On the Apple Watch workout screen, the run's time now sits across from your heart rate, at the same size as the other numbers and with TIME under it. On a page without heart rate it sits on the clock's line, so it no longer floats alone at the top right.
The numbers and labels on the Apple Watch workout screen now line up in two columns, and the units of numbers side by side share a line. Past an hour on a 40 mm watch your heart rate keeps its full size. Before, it could be cut short.
The paused screen on your Apple Watch now describes correctly what happens when you tap Resume.
Your coach now knows that Jaksa is said as one word, YAHK-sah. Before, it could say it as two words.

Build 550 · 5 November 2026

Resume a workout after Done, and merge two workouts into one

After you tap Done, you can now pick the same workout back up for up to a day. Before, you could only start a new workout.
Two workouts in a row can now become one, for example when you stopped for a break and then started again. You can merge them by asking your coach, in the app, on jaksa.run or through an AI assistant you connect.
A merged workout appears as one on the finished screen, with its own Undo merge button. Undo brings back both workouts as they were, with photos you attached and late readings from your Apple Watch in the right workout.
Once a workout is more than a day old, Jaksa now tells you it stays as it ended. Before, it could offer a merge that would then fail.
On a merged workout, followers still cannot see where each part started or ended, on the map, in the feed, in a photo's location or in a cheer. This matters when, for example, one part ends at your home and the next one starts there.

Build 549 · 5 November 2026

Training paces from your hard efforts, and setting the plan aside

Your training paces now come from your best recent hard effort, or from your fitness estimate if you have not run hard lately. Before, an easy run could set them, which made paces such as threshold and your long runs too slow.
The plan walk-through and your paces in the app and on jaksa.run now say what your paces come from and since when, with or without a goal race. Before, your coach said "your best recent stretch" whatever the source, and a plan with no goal race showed no source at all.
A hard training session can now only make your paces faster, while a race or time trial can move them either way. A time trial you run on a different day from the one planned now counts in full. Only a hard effort is celebrated as Faster, and small changes in your fitness estimate are no longer announced.
Saying "We're not doing the plan today" during a workout now ends the planned steps at once. The workout becomes your own and the plan stays open for another day. Before, the steps kept running and the workout could read "Not quite 4 x 1.2km Repeats".
Choosing a plain workout type at Start, or starting from your Apple Watch, now also leaves today's plan open instead of counting it as missed. A plain run never cancels today's gym session or rest day, and a plan you take up during the workout, such as by saying yes to your coach's offer, counts.

Build 548 · 5 November 2026

Apple Music works again after reinstalling Jaksa

After you reinstall Jaksa, it now notices that it has lost permission to use Apple Music, and Apple's permission request comes up by itself. Before, Apple Music could show as connected while your music requests failed.
If you ask for music during a workout before allowing Apple Music, your coach now tells you so, and the music you asked for starts once you tap Allow. If Apple Music access is switched off, your coach tells you where to switch it back on.
Your coach, Jaksa's settings and an AI assistant you connect now all give the same answer about whether Jaksa may use Apple Music.
The beat at your step rate now keeps going until your music has actually started, on Apple Music and Spotify, including music started from a reminder. Before, the beat could stop even when the music then failed to play.
After you end a workout, music you asked for during it no longer starts.

Build 547 · 5 November 2026

Music at your step rate now plays where you ask

When you ask your coach for music at a given step rate on Apple Music or Spotify, it now plays on the service you named, even if the other one is set as your usual. Before, the playlist could go to Spotify when you had asked for Apple Music.
Your coach now says your music at your step rate is playing only once it has actually started. Before, it could say "Playing" when nothing had begun.
Asking again by name for one of the step-rate playlists Jaksa made for you now plays that playlist. Before, your coach could search your music library for its name and find nothing.
If you end a workout while your coach is still setting up music at your step rate, your next workout's music is no longer changed by it.

Build 546 · 5 November 2026

Your coach stays on after a phone call

After a phone call during a run, your coach now stays on and starts listening again by itself, without you opening Jaksa. Before, your coach often stayed silent until you opened the app.
If your music or another app takes the microphone while Jaksa is in the background, Jaksa now starts listening again by itself.
While your coach cannot hear you, the workout screen, your Apple Watch and the lock screen now say "Can't hear you". Your coach tells you when it can hear you again, unless you have muted it.
After a call, your coach now says you were on a call instead of saying the connection dropped. If you do need to open Jaksa after a call, you are no longer asked the moment the call ends.
Asking about your music while your coach is answering something else now works. Before, you could hear "No answer from the server".
When your coach listens through your iPhone's own microphone, its answers now come promptly while you run. Before, most answers came several seconds late.

Build 545 · 5 November 2026

Today's planned workouts now sit at the top of Start

When you tap Start, today's planned workouts now appear in their own rows at the top, above Run, Treadmill, Gym and Walk.
Choosing Run, Treadmill, Gym or Walk starts a plain workout and leaves today's plan open, so you can still do your planned workout later.

Build 544 · 4 November 2026

Your music now pauses while your coach speaks

When your coach listens through your iPhone's own microphone, your music now pauses while your coach speaks and comes back once your coach has finished. This works with the Music app, Apple Music played inside Jaksa, and Spotify.
Your music stays paused for the whole of what your coach is saying, short pauses in your coach's speech included, and does not stop and start during a short remark.
Only music your coach paused comes back afterwards. Music you paused yourself stays paused.
If you ask your coach to pause or start your music, it stays as you left it, even while your coach is still speaking.
Spotify now also comes back after a longer answer from your coach.

Build 543 · 4 November 2026

Groundwork on music that stops by itself during a run

This build brings nothing new you will see or hear in the app or on jaksa.run. It is groundwork toward fixing music that sometimes stops by itself while you run, and that problem is not fixed yet.

Build 542 · 4 November 2026

Track names you give now stay yours until they are approved

When you give a running track a name, you now see it straight away in your track list, in searches, and when your coach mentions places or briefs you. Other runners see it only once it has been reviewed and approved. Before, a new name appeared for every runner at once.
Your coach no longer tells you a name you suggested is now there for everyone.
Corrections to a track's lanes, to whether it is unpaved, or to where it lies still apply for every runner straight away, as before.
If someone else signs in to Jaksa on the same phone, they see tracks under their approved names, not the names you suggested.

Build 541 · 4 November 2026

Your coach comes on when you pocket your phone at the start

When you start a workout from the Garmin notice on your iPhone and put the phone straight in your pocket, the workout now starts and your coach comes on. Before, putting the phone away in those first moments could leave you with no workout and no coach.
The same now holds when you press Start in the app, including after the countdown. Before, a phone pocketed right after Start could leave a whole run without your coach.
If a start does not turn into a workout, for example because you stop straight away, your earbuds no longer stay on call sound and nothing keeps recording. Starting again right after now works normally, where before it could lose your coach.
If your coach stops while Jaksa is not on the screen, a notification now stays on your phone until your coach is back.

Build 540 · 3 November 2026

Splits start with your split, and treadmill pauses with music on

Your coach now opens each kilometre and lap split with the split itself, such as "First kilometre in five forty-three." Before, it could start with your heart rate or zone, or read out words like "Check in:" that were never meant to be spoken.
On a treadmill run with music playing, a pause you meant for the music no longer stops the belt. Saying "pause" to stop the treadmill now always works, where before it could sometimes be missed.

Build 539 · 3 November 2026

Your coach remembers your lane when you are back on a track

When you step onto a running track you have lapped before, your coach now asks "You seem to be back on this track. Lane six again?" using the lane you last told it there. A yes is enough, and a no gets you asked which lane. Where two tracks lie close together, your coach works out which one you are on and asks only when it cannot tell.
At your first lap on a track you know, your coach now compares it with your earlier laps there, and a lap where you stopped on the way round is not compared, so you no longer hear "slower" for it. Your earlier laps on that track also appear under your laps in the app and on jaksa.run, and an AI assistant you connect can see them too.
After a workout, your coach now counts what you already did earlier that day. Before, a 6.5 km run after a 10 km the same day could be called below your usual and a sensible lighter day. The same holds in your Strava note and for an AI assistant you connect, and one workout recorded twice counts only once.
When your run pauses or resumes, your coach now says it once. Before, a pause could be announced twice a few seconds apart, and if the connection dropped and came back you could hear nothing at all.
When you mute or unmute using the iPhone's own microphone, you now hear two ticks over your music, falling when muted and rising when open, while your coach's voice stays as it is. Before, nothing sounded, so you could not tell whether the mute had worked.

Build 538 · 3 November 2026

Music by an artist at a beat, and a warning when you are muted

Asking for something like "some faster music from Blackpink" now plays that artist's songs at a faster beat. Before, your coach could look for an artist with the whole phrase as its name and say nothing was found. If the artist has no songs at that beat, your coach says so, names the nearest beat they do have and offers it, with Apple Music, Spotify or no music service connected.
Saying "faster" or "slower" while songs play at a beat, including on cadence ladder workouts, now starts from the music you are hearing, and saying it again keeps going. Before, "faster" could bring slower songs, and a second "faster" on Spotify could stay at the same beat.
If you add something while your coach is still working on your request, such as "at one ninety" just after asking for music, your coach now acts on it instead of losing it. "Next song" no longer skips two tracks, words from an earlier workout no longer carry into the next, and asking for a different voice or language is never lost.
When music starts from something you added to a request, your coach now tells you it has started. Before, it could stay quiet or only give its earlier answer that nothing was found.
Your coach now tells you when your microphone is muted, so you know it cannot hear you. Before, that warning could be held back and you could keep talking without being heard.
People following your run live on jaksa.run no longer get an occasional error page. The follow page, cheers and voice messages keep working.

Build 537 · 3 November 2026

Auto-pause is quicker and tells you when it pauses

Auto-pause now pauses your run sooner when you stop and resumes it sooner when you set off again. Each time it does, your phone buzzes, your Apple Watch taps your wrist and your coach says "Paused." or "Back on.", while a quick stop-and-go gives you the taps only. Pausing by hand or by voice stays silent as before.
Your coach no longer says "Paused." after you have ended your workout, and no longer says "Back on." after a pause you never heard announced.
Your coach now tells you the time left when you ask for it, and gives anything under a minute in seconds. Before, it could add the minutes left to a split or another remark without being asked, and say "about a minute" when much less was left.
Remarks about something else, such as a tap on the treadmill's buttons, a reminder, a hill step or a pace check, no longer come with your workout's numbers read out beside them. A reminder that asks for a figure, including one set by an AI assistant you connect, now gives it as it is when the reminder is spoken. Asking your coach to repeat something gives you the current number, not the earlier one.
If you press Stop on a treadmill and then switch the treadmill off, your workout now ends. Before, it could stay paused while your coach asked you to press Start, which some treadmills can never pass on once switched off. If you are still running or tap Resume yourself, the workout carries on, and your coach no longer mentions the treadmill losing its connection after a Stop.

Build 536 · 3 November 2026

Your splits now tell you when a kilometre had a real climb

When a kilometre or mile had a real climb, your coach now tells you how much you climbed and how steep it was, beside your time, at every talk level except silent. Before, a slow hilly kilometre sounded like just a slow one. Flat kilometres sound the same as before, and if you turned off climb warnings, your splits leave climbs out.
Changing how much your coach talks, such as from Chatty to Quiet, no longer turns off climb warnings. They now stop only when you turn them off yourself.
With Apple Music or Spotify connected, asking for music at a beat now plays your own songs at that rhythm. Before, you could get one of Jaksa's own music loops instead. Asking for just a beat still gives you the click, and without a music service nothing changes.
Saying "faster", "slower" or "stop the beat" now works while your songs are playing at a beat. If you name a style of music, your coach now tells you that your own songs are not sorted by style, and any songs it suggests are of that style or it says they are not.
On cadence ladder workouts with a music service connected, your coach now asks only once whether you want your songs and remembers your answer for later workouts. Your songs play from the first stretch, and if they cannot play, the workout goes back to the step beat.
Your coach now tells you why music cannot play when your Apple Music library is empty or your songs cannot be used at a beat. Before, it could wrongly say your music was locked. If Spotify fails after you switch from Apple Music, your coach now says so instead of leaving the music stopped without a word.

Build 535 · 3 November 2026

Your coach waits for your whole sentence before pausing the belt

While your music is playing, your coach now waits until you have finished speaking before it pauses or resumes your workout. Before, half a sentence such as "Okay, pause the..." could stop the treadmill belt under you mid-run. Without music, nothing changes.
A route you choose just before you start now stays with that workout, however far from it you begin. Before, it could be dropped without a word.
A route you saved earlier that is nowhere near where you start no longer stops your coach warning you about climbs ahead, and your coach no longer asks about its turns before you reach it.
A chosen route now applies to one workout. After an outdoor workout, jaksa.run no longer shows it as your next route.
When you reach a route or race course, your coach now warns you once about each climb. Before, it could repeat a climb it had already told you about.
If a workout starts as a run and you tell your coach it is a walk or a gym session, your coach now goes by what you said. Before, it could still read out your running training paces moments later.

Build 534 · 3 November 2026

Your coach follows through on requests after a reconnect

If the connection to your coach drops and comes back during a run, your coach now carries out what you ask, such as skipping a song, setting the belt speed, setting a reminder or telling you the time left. Before, it could say it was doing it and then nothing happened.
When your music starts playing again at your request, your coach now lets it play without announcing it. Before, it could say "Music is playing again" several times over the music. If the music does not start, your coach still tells you.
When something such as a phone call stops your music, your coach now tells you why. Before, it could leave you running on in silence. Your coach also no longer opens a remark with "About what you said a minute ago" when you had not said anything.
On the treadmill Plan page in the app and on jaksa.run, a speed ramp that has finished now keeps its last speed as the plan until you or the next step set a new one, including a last speed you set on the treadmill yourself. Before, the plan could fall back to an older, slower speed. The chart now ends where the plan ends, draws earlier ramps as the steps you ran and shows the distance run, and the Step card shows your distance when there are no steps.
When your coach or the Plan card says you ran faster, it now compares you with your strongest effort of the last eight weeks and names the stretch of the workout it means. Before, it could say you beat your best when your personal record was faster.

Build 533 · 3 November 2026

Treadmill and Apple Music pick up again after an interruption

On a treadmill that Jaksa controls, if the connection drops and comes back, your coach no longer asks you to set a speed or incline it can set for you. A workout step that was due while the connection was down now reaches the treadmill once it is back.
After the connection to your treadmill returns, what your coach says now matches what happened to the belt. Before, it could say the belt was left alone just after changing it.
When you run with Apple Music, it now starts playing again after you switch earbuds or microphone, or after a phone call. Before, it could stay stopped. Music you paused yourself stays paused.
Your coach can now pause and play Apple Music when you ask. Before, it said it could not.
Your coach now finishes answering what you said before it moves on to anything else. Its other remarks no longer run straight on from the end of an answer.

Build 532 · 3 November 2026

Your coach no longer asks for a treadmill speed you already set

On a treadmill, your coach no longer asks for your starting belt speed once you have set it, whether by voice, with the buttons or by pressing Start or Resume. Before, it could confirm the speed you set and then ask for it anyway.
This also holds while your coach is speaking over your music, where the question could previously still be asked.
The first time your coach speaks over your music, you now hear its short explanation of how that works and its question about Focus. Before, both could sometimes be skipped.

Build 531 · 3 November 2026

Clearer words for your workout and progress dashboards

The pages that show your running across many workouts are now called progress dashboards everywhere in the app and on jaksa.run, so they are easier to tell apart from the workout dashboard you see during a run. On jaksa.run, "My dashboards" in the menu is now "My progress dashboards".
On the workout dashboard, the colour key now says what the blue on the newer tiles stands for, a note points you to the Plan page for the chart, and the Keep button's longer label now stays on one line.
The help for your workout dashboard has been rewritten to match the new pages, and your coach answers your questions about them from it. Descriptions left over from the old page editor are gone.
When you ask how to remove a page, your coach now tells you the right place to do it, such as jaksa.run. Before, it said you could remove one in the app, which has no button for that.

Build 530 · 3 November 2026

No changes you will notice in this build

This build changes nothing you can see or do in the app or on jaksa.run. Your runs and your coach work as they did in the previous build.

Build 529 · 3 November 2026

Your coach now warns of climbs before they start, even off a route

When you run without a planned route, your coach now tells you about a climb before you reach it, on the way you are most likely heading. Before, it only spoke once you were already on the climb, sometimes not until near the top.
If the way ahead is unclear, for example at a fork where not every path climbs, your coach stays quiet rather than guess.
Gentle slopes are no longer announced in advance. Your coach still mentions them once you are running up them.

Build 528 · 3 November 2026

New workout dashboard: new pages, and the old page editor is gone

During a run, a walk or a treadmill workout every phone now shows your workout dashboard: up to five pages you swipe. Its Plan page has a chart with the plan's outline and what you really ran filled over it; with no plan, it runs to your usual distance.
Turn the phone during one and the same pages lay out sideways. A gym session keeps its own pages, upright.
On a treadmill your phone drives, the speed buttons frame every page, with incline too when you hold the phone sideways.
The hold-to-edit page editor has been removed, along with the pages made with it.
To make a page of your own, tap the + after the page dots, say "add a page" to your coach, ask an AI assistant you connect, or use Settings on jaksa.run. It takes the place of one of the five.
A finished run, walk or treadmill workout keeps its workout dashboard, in the app and on jaksa.run. If you stay on an older version of Jaksa, you keep the pages you had, and your coach asks you to update the app when you try to change them.

Build 527 · 3 November 2026

No changes you will notice in this build

This build changes nothing you can see or do in the app or on jaksa.run. Your runs and your coach work as they did in the previous build.

Build 526 · 3 November 2026

Your coach now knows the hills ahead more reliably

Your coach now has better heights for the way ahead, so it is much less likely to tell you about a climb that is not there.
When your coach or an AI assistant you connect is not sure there is a bridge on your way, it now says it is possibly a bridge instead of stating it as fact.

Build 525 · 3 November 2026

Clearer Plan and Workout pages during your run

On the Plan and Workout pages, the big number no longer has a band under it, and every caption now has an icon.
The pace chart now starts from zero, shows its unit, marks the top, the halfway point and zero, and has the time of day along the bottom. It stays steady as you run, so only the new part of the chart moves.
The Time left and To go tiles now always count down to something.
Laps now keep counting after you take a break.
On jaksa.run, the pages kept with a finished workout now show the same icons, no band and the same pace chart scale. The marks along the side of the Plan chart, such as 10:00, are no longer cut off.

Build 524 · 3 November 2026

Your coach now knows the way ahead and hangs up when you ask

During a run your coach now knows which way you are heading, how fast you are going and the way you will most likely take next, including the next lap on a running track. It also knows what lies along that way, such as a climb or a bridge, so it can talk to you about what is coming.
People following your run on jaksa.run or in the app's follow sheet now see which way you are heading, for example "heading east".
An AI assistant you connect can now ask which way you are heading during a run.
When your coach phones you, it now recognises your iPhone's call screening and a voicemail greeting. It no longer takes their words as something you said.
Asking your coach to hang up during a phone call now ends the call once it has said goodbye. Before, you could not get it to hang up.
During a phone call with your coach, when your heart rate comes back, for example from your Apple Watch, your coach now knows it right away. Before, it could keep saying no heart rate was coming in.

Build 523 · 3 November 2026

Your workout pages are now kept with each finished workout

A finished workout in the app now has a card under its numbers showing the workout pages you had on screen at the end, as small pictures. Tap one to open it whole: it is read only, and a map page shows your route. Gym sessions do not have this card.
On jaksa.run, a workout's page now shows the same workout pages as they were at the end of that workout.
On these kept pages, tiles that show a live number during a run show how you finished and say so, for example your last km or last minute. Charts cover the whole workout.
On jaksa.run, Settings now has "Workout dashboard", which you can also find with the settings search. There you see your pages for outdoor and treadmill workouts as previews, upright or sideways. You can add a ready-made page or build one from a layout and tiles, remove a page you added, go back to the starting pages, or put back a change your coach made.
The distance at the top of a finished workout in the app now always matches your workouts list and the Distance tile, including a treadmill workout's corrected distance. Before, these could differ.

Build 522 · 3 November 2026

Routes set in the chat or on jaksa.run now guide your next run

A route set for your next workout in the chat with your coach, through an AI assistant you connect, or on jaksa.run is now followed on that workout: your coach calls the turns, notices a wrong turn and answers "how far to go" from that route. Before, such a route was only followed if you had opened the "Something else" sheet first.
The route card on your home screen now keeps up with a route chosen elsewhere, including when you close a finished workout or come back to the app.
When Jaksa cannot check your routes, for example when you are offline, the route card now says "Could not check your routes". Before, it said "None yet" even when a route was waiting for you.
If a route you pick on your phone cannot be saved, the route card stays as it was.

Build 521 · 3 November 2026

The workout chart on the Plan page now has a scale

The workout chart on the Plan page now shows a scale: the fastest and slowest pace up the left side with their unit, and the workout's time along the bottom. Before, the chart showed bars with no numbers.
On a treadmill workout, a stop shows at 0.0 on that scale. On an outdoor workout, the lowest mark is the slowest pace you run at while moving.

Build 520 · 3 November 2026

Add your own workout pages, and no crash when your sound changes

You can now add a page of your own to your workout screens by tapping the plus after the page dots.
When your coach changes your workout pages, the change now shows on your phone straight away, with a short note saying why and a "Put back" button that undoes that change.
When you ask your coach to add a page, during a workout or on a call, Jaksa turns to the new page and says its name. A page meant for your other kind of workout, outdoors or treadmill, is kept for that kind, and your coach tells you so.
A page you change on your phone is no longer overwritten by a change from your coach.
Jaksa no longer closes when your iPhone moves the sound during a workout while your coach hears you through your iPhone's microphone, for example when Siri or an alarm interrupts or your AirPods change microphone. Once the interruption ends, your coach listens and speaks again.

Build 519 · 3 November 2026

A microphone switch now lasts for that workout only

Every workout now starts on your default microphone. Before, when your coach moved you to your iPhone's microphone, that also became your default, so later workouts could start on your iPhone without you choosing it.
When your coach switches you to your iPhone's microphone during a workout, the switch lasts for that workout only. Once per workout your coach mentions that you can say "make that my default" if you want to keep it.
Only you change your default microphone: in Settings, on jaksa.run, through an AI assistant you connect, or by telling your coach, for example "make the iPhone my default".
If you ask about or complain about how your music sounds during a workout, your coach explains why it sounds that way and offers to use your iPhone's microphone for the rest of that workout.

Build 518 · 3 November 2026

The Apple Watch is no longer a microphone for your coach

Your coach now hears you through your earbuds or your iPhone. The Apple Watch can no longer be your microphone, so Jaksa no longer moves you onto it without asking, and the app no longer crashes when switching to or from it.
Your Apple Watch still sends your heart rate during a run. Before, while the watch was also your microphone, your heart rate could go missing for a couple of minutes.
The microphone choice now has two options instead of three in Settings, on jaksa.run and through an AI assistant you connect. If you had picked your Apple Watch, Jaksa has moved you to the basic option, and the microphone card on jaksa.run has a new look.

Build 517 · 3 November 2026

Jaksa can now start the treadmill belt at your own speed

When you start a treadmill workout in Jaksa on a treadmill your phone can control, your coach now starts the belt for you at your own run or walk speed and tells you first, for example "Starting the belt at 8 km/h". If Jaksa does not know your speed yet, your coach asks once and keeps your answer.
You can turn "Start the belt for me" on or off and set your Run and Walk starting speeds in Settings, under Devices, by tapping your treadmill. A speed you have not set shows "Ask me", Settings search finds these under "starting speed", and an AI assistant you connect can set them too.
If you tell your coach you would rather start the belt yourself, it turns "Start the belt for me" off and tells you how to turn it back on, so the question no longer comes back every workout.
Jaksa does not start the belt while you are paused, after you press Stop on the treadmill itself, or when "Start the belt for me" is off.
When you ask for a speed while the belt is standing still, Jaksa now starts the belt and then sets that speed. Before, your coach asked you to start the belt first.
The treadmill speed buttons now appear only on a treadmill your phone can control and show five whole speeds around your current speed, while minus and plus still move by half. On a treadmill your phone cannot set, your coach says the plan's speeds aloud instead of showing the amber "Speed you set" label, and on one where your phone can set the speed but not the incline, the incline shows its number with a reminder to set it on the treadmill.

Build 516 · 2 November 2026

A treadmill finished screen with speed, charts and no map

After a treadmill workout, the finished screen no longer shows a map. It now shows a Summary card with your average and top speed, incline, climb, power, cadence and heart rate, plus charts of your speed, heart rate, incline, power and cadence over the workout in place of the zone bar.
If you wear a chest strap or pod that measures your running form, the Summary card also shows how uneven your steps were, though not which side. It leaves out a strap you marked "Not mine" and still counts the whole workout if you went back into it after stopping.
The map now appears on the finished screen only for runs outdoors or on a track.
On every finished screen, the cards for your coach on the line and your followers have moved into the menu behind the three dots, and Done still hangs up. Change in that menu now opens reliably.
When you tell your coach a distance on a treadmill, the speed chart and top speed no longer show a sudden burst of speed. Over a very short distance, average pace now shows a dash instead of an impossible figure.

Build 515 · 2 November 2026

Exact speed ramp steps and steadier watch heart rate

When your Apple Watch is your microphone and your phone briefly loses touch with the watch, your heart rate from the watch now keeps coming through. Before, it could go missing for a couple of minutes.
During a speed ramp on a treadmill your phone cannot set, your coach now tells you the exact speed for each step when it is due, for example "put it to 13.2 km/h now". Before, it only said how much to add and could lose track of where the ramp was.
If you cancel or change the ramp, or pause, your coach no longer calls a step from the old plan. If your phone can set the treadmill again, the ramp carries on from the last speed your coach gave you.

Build 514 · 2 November 2026

Your coach's answers no longer talk over you

When you ask your coach for something during a run, its answer, such as "Noted for after", now waits until you have finished speaking. Before, it could start while you were still talking.
If you ask for something new before the earlier answer has been said, your coach skips the older answer instead of saying something you have already moved past.

Build 513 · 2 November 2026

Workout pages that turn sideways with your phone

During a workout, your workout pages now turn sideways when you turn your phone. Everything else stays upright, including Settings and the chat.
The map, sheets, the call menu and photos still open upright, and once you end the workout the app stays upright again.
Sideways, the buttons are compact with no words under them and the numbers are a little smaller. On the coach page the orb sits beside your numbers.
Turning your phone keeps you on the page you were on instead of landing you partway between pages.
If you ask your coach whether your microphone just moved, for example to your Apple Watch, it now answers from what your phone actually did. Before, it could say no when your phone had made the switch.

Build 512 · 2 November 2026

A live Form page, a Power page and treadmill speeds you say

The Form page now shows live numbers during a workout from your Apple Watch, chest strap, running pods and phone. Each tile says where its number comes from, for example "watch", or "ours" when Jaksa works it out. A number that has stopped coming shows a dash instead of staying on its last value.
If your sensors fill too few Form tiles, Splits shows in Form's place, and if you are on that page you stay on it when the two swap.
You can now add a Power page that charts your power above your cadence over the last ten minutes, and each line says whose it is. Your saved power and cadence also now include the last part-minute before you stop.
On a treadmill Jaksa cannot hear, a speed you say or tap now sets your distance as well as your pace. Your distance keeps counting at that speed until you give another one or the treadmill is back, and it stops if you stop. Before, your distance followed your watch or pods and could end short of what the treadmill showed.
Your coach no longer asks for your treadmill speed at the start while Jaksa is setting the belt. While your phone is connected to the treadmill, your coach asks only if the treadmill is not sharing your speed, and it no longer asks you the same speed question twice.

Build 511 · 2 November 2026

No setup steps when the treadmill drops out mid-workout

If your phone loses touch with the treadmill during a workout, the workout pages no longer show a note that the phone cannot hear it with a Show me button. Steps for switching the treadmill on only got in the way once your workout was already running.
Instead, your coach asks what the treadmill shows, its distance and speed, and no longer tells you how to switch it on. If your coach already knows your distance and speed, it says nothing.
Jaksa picks the treadmill back up by itself when it can. The steps for connecting your treadmill are still there before you start a workout.

Build 510 · 2 November 2026

A Plan page, outdoor pace ramps and a clearer Apple Watch

During a workout, a new Plan page shows your plan as a grey outline with what you have run filled in lime over it and a white line where you are now. Each step's number sits over its block, the one you are on is lit, and the heading counts along, for example "Rep 2 of 6". A step you ran faster stands above its outline, a slower one sits under it, a cut step is short, a skipped one is empty, and the rest of the plan stays outlined if you stop partway.
With no plan, the Plan page draws a dashed outline to today's goal or to your usual distance for this kind of workout, with words such as "your usual 6 km" at its end and "on to 8 km" once you pass it. This works even if you start with no signal.
Outdoors you can now ask your coach to step your pace up as you go, for example "bump me 0.1 every 50 metres". Your coach calls each new pace and the one after it, up to a pace you name or otherwise your 10K race pace, and the Plan page shows the steps ahead as a staircase.
A pace ramp saved for your next workout now waits until you are running, so it is never used up before you begin. If you are already at or past its top, it ends and your coach tells you so. An AI assistant you connect can now see a pace ramp in the workout you are running.
On a treadmill, a speed ramp with no top that you named now stops at your fastest treadmill pace this month, and your coach tells you what that is.
On Apple Watch, an outdoor workout now opens on the Workout page with heart rate, time, distance and pace, and the watch's pages follow your workout pages on the phone. Average pace stays on a running track, there is no longer a Map page with no map, and you see Splits instead of a page of dashes when you have no running pods.

Build 509 · 2 November 2026

Treadmill speed buttons, new tiles and a Hills chart

Every treadmill page now has a row of speed buttons above your speed. There are also new speed and incline tiles, where the preset speeds look like buttons you can tap and the incline shows as a large number.
A new Hills chart shows the inclines in your plan. If your plan has no inclines, the chart no longer repeats the same incline.
On a treadmill Jaksa controls, tapping a speed button sets the belt to that speed, and your coach tells you when the belt is there.
On a treadmill Jaksa cannot hear, tapping a speed button tells your coach what you set. That speed now lasts until the next step, and then your coach gives you the plan's speed again. Before, your own speed could replace the plan's for longer.
Asking to hold your speed still keeps it for the whole workout, and your coach no longer says the speed is only for this step. Going back no longer brings back a speed you had set for a single step.
The caption shown when Jaksa cannot hear your treadmill is now shorter.

Build 508 · 2 November 2026

Nothing new to see in this build

This build has no changes you can see or use in the app or on jaksa.run. Everything works as it did in the previous build.

Build 507 · 2 November 2026

Home now tells you when your Apple Watch starts too

On iPhone, when your Apple Watch has Jaksa on it, Home now shows "Your watch starts too" in small grey words under Start, so you know your watch starts with your run.
The new line fits into the space already there, so the bottom of Home stays the same height and Start still lines up with your coach beside it.
VoiceOver reads the line as part of the Start button.
If you install Jaksa on your watch or link it while the app is open, the line now appears without closing and reopening Jaksa.
This is on iPhone only. Android has no Jaksa watch app, so nothing changes there.

Build 506 · 2 November 2026

A new workout screen, and treadmill speed ramps that follow you

Your workout screen is now a set of up to five pages you slide between. Outdoors they are Coach, Plan, Workout, Form and Map, and on a treadmill Workout, Plan, Form, Dial and Coach. Gym sessions keep their pages as before.
The new pages are for every runner, and you need this build to see them. Earlier builds keep the previous workout screen.
Pages your coach makes for you during a workout do not appear on the new screen yet. Your coach now tells you the page did not appear, instead of saying it was added.
On a treadmill, a speed you set during a speed ramp now carries the ramp on from there, up to the same top speed. This works whether you say it, ask your coach or press the treadmill's own buttons. Before, it could end the ramp and leave the belt at your speed.
Your coach tells you once when the ramp carries on, and the steps ahead on your screen change to start from your new speed. Stopping the belt pauses the ramp, and asking to hold one speed still ends it.
Setting the top speed or faster ends the ramp, and the speed plan's card now shows "Done: you set its top speed or faster" instead of "you set your own speed".

Build 505 · 2 November 2026

Music keeps playing under your coach on Android

On Android, with "Lower it" (the default), your music now keeps playing through a workout and is turned down each time your coach speaks.
On Android, music you start again in the middle of a workout is now turned down for your coach's next line too. Before, it could play over your coach at full sound.
On Android, with "Pause it", your music now pauses for every line your coach speaks, also after you have started it again yourself during the workout.
On Android, Jaksa now only starts your music again when your coach was the one who paused it.
Talking with your coach outside a workout, at home, in voice chat or after your run, still pauses your music as before.

Build 504 · 2 November 2026

Behind-the-scenes work, nothing new to see

Nothing you can see or do has changed in this build, in the app or on jaksa.run.

Build 503 · 2 November 2026

Keep a chart from your coach's answer on a dashboard

Your coach can now answer you in chat with a chart, drawn the same way as on your progress dashboards and from your own workouts. You see these charts in the app and on jaksa.run.
Under a chart in an answer, "Keep on a dashboard" adds it to a dashboard tab you pick. If you have no tab for it yet, one tap makes a "Kept charts" tab.
A kept chart stays up to date and fills in again with every workout you record.
Once you have kept a chart, the answer shows "Kept on" with a link to its tab, and the same chart is not added twice.
Keeping charts is part of the subscription. Without it, the button shows you how to subscribe.
You need this build to keep a chart from the app.

Build 502 · 2 November 2026

Heart rate keeps coming after a restart, and no stale answers

If Jaksa restarts in the background during a workout, for example after a crash, your coach now keeps getting your heart rate from your Apple Watch. Before, it could go without your heart rate until you opened Jaksa.
The warning about missing watch heart rate now counts the heart rate your watch did record earlier in the workout. Before, it could say nothing had come since the start even when it had.
When the answer to something you asked has to wait, for example through a phone call, your coach no longer says it long afterwards as if you had just asked. If you missed an answer, your coach can bring it up itself when it still matters, instead of assuming you heard it.

Build 501 · 2 November 2026

Your coach can now draw charts on your progress dashboards

Your coach can now add charts to your progress dashboards, and you see them in the app and on jaksa.run. An AI assistant you connect can add them too.
There are five kinds of chart. One shows a single workout over time, one shows each workout as a dot on your heart-rate zones, and one shows weekly totals as bars. The other two show daily readings with their trend, and two measures against each other with one workout picked out.
Pace on a chart is shown in your own pace unit, each week is one bar, and gaps show where you stopped. Heart-rate zones appear as coloured bands once your zones are known.
You need this build to see these charts in the app. Earlier builds show only the chart's title, its main figure and its notes.

Build 500 · 2 November 2026

Plain messages when your connection drops

When your connection drops, Jaksa now simply says "No connection", and any other unexpected problem shows "Something went wrong". Before, the Crew tab could show a long technical error message from the phone.

Build 499 · 2 November 2026

Your coach comes back as soon as a phone call ends

When you use your Apple Watch as the microphone and take a phone call with your phone locked, your coach now comes back as soon as you hang up, with no need to open Jaksa. Before, your coach could stay quiet for a while after the call and sometimes asked you to open Jaksa. This also holds after a long call, or when a second call ends soon after the first.

Build 498 · 2 November 2026

Your coach's voice holds up better on a weak connection

On a weak or patchy connection, your coach's voice now has fewer gaps and clipped words, and your coach misses less of what you say. This is true in the app and on jaksa.run.

Build 497 · 2 November 2026

Your coach keeps hearing you after calls and on poor Wi-Fi

If your Wi-Fi keeps breaking up your coach's voice, Jaksa moves your coach to mobile data for the rest of the workout, when your phone has it. Before, a poor home Wi-Fi could leave your coach mishearing you for a whole treadmill workout.
After you use your Apple Watch as the microphone and then take a phone call with your phone locked, your coach still hears you. If it ever cannot, it says once "Open Jaksa to bring it back", and opening Jaksa brings your coach back. Before, your coach could go silent for the rest of the workout.
Jaksa no longer crashes when you start or stop using your Apple Watch as the microphone during a phone call.
After a phone call, your coach no longer repeats earlier split times or announces the wrong kilometre. Each split now tells you how it compares with your earlier ones instead of reading them all out again.
When you ask how many laps you need to finish a distance and end where you started, the answer now counts what you have already run and the way back, including a stretch you agreed to cut mid-workout. Before, it could leave these out and come out wrong.
In a treadmill workout, your coach no longer accepts a speed or pace that no runner could hold, even if you say it twice. If a distance you read out would mean such a pace, your coach asks you about it and does not offer that number as an answer.

Build 496 · 2 November 2026

Your coach now checks the treadmill distances you read out

When you read out a treadmill distance that does not fit your run so far, your coach asks "Did you say 5.2 km?" aloud and shows the same question in a card at the top of the workout page. The card has the number and Neither as buttons on one row. Saying the number again or tapping it makes it count; before, any distance you said went straight into your workout.
If a number you say only makes sense in miles, your coach asks once whether the treadmill is in miles and remembers your answer for that treadmill. If you read out less than before, it asks whether the treadmill restarted, and your distance is never lowered without asking you.
In a treadmill workout where Jaksa cannot get your speed from the treadmill, your coach asks you for it near the start and again if the belt speed seems to have changed.
If a Technogym treadmill disconnects, your coach now tells you it has lost the treadmill, asks you to press Start on it to carry on and to tell it your speed if you change it, and your distance carries on from where it was.
After a treadmill workout, a corrected distance that no runner could have covered in that time is no longer accepted.

Build 495 · 2 November 2026

No changes you will notice in this build

This build looks and works the same as the previous one, in the app and on jaksa.run.

No changes you will notice in this build

Nothing in the app or on jaksa.run looks or works differently in this build. Everything you could see and do in the previous build stays as it was.

Build 493 · 2 November 2026

Clearer plans and workout pages, and a safer Delete my account

The week bars on your plan now have a key underneath (easy, steady, hard, race week), and the Base, Build and Taper lines below them are a plain grey instead of borrowing those effort colours. A planned race's parts are now named by where they fall in the race, such as "Start to 21.7 mi" or "The whole race", where before each said "Work". If you use miles, a rep set in kilometres or metres now shows how long it should take.
On a finished planned workout, the workout's shape chart shows every rep's pace in teal, and a rep that missed its target gets a small amber mark showing how many seconds it was slow or fast. The power column is headed "watts", with a line under the kilometre table when the watts are Jaksa's own estimate, and the track lap table labels the stretch after your last whole lap instead of showing it as an extra lap. The Form card's cadence lines now read as plain sentences.
In Delete my account, the keyboard's Done key, or Enter on jaksa.run, now only closes the keyboard, so only the red button deletes your account. Before, Done could delete it before you had seen what you typed.
On Injuries & conditions, if you use miles, you now enter your height in feet and inches in the app and on jaksa.run, and its Save button stays lime, dimmed until you type a height. In Phone permissions the Music buttons now say "Use Apple Music" and "Use Spotify", and Settings titles wrap onto a second line instead of being cut off.
Photos that are still downloading show a spinner on the photo grid, and a photo that failed to load says "Couldn't load" with a Try again button, where both used to be blank grey squares. Under a full-screen photo, distance, time, pace and heart rate now appear in their usual colours, and the photo in a workout map's corner no longer covers the Apple Maps logo.
On a friend's workout, the kudos row now looks the same on your timeline and on the workout page, and the People page lists Following before Followers, as profiles do. On "Your followers", the Following and Remove buttons are stacked so each name shows in full.

Build 492 · 2 November 2026

Subscription offer now stays in your coach chat

If you are not subscribed and send your coach a chat message that needs the subscription, the reply is now a card in the conversation that explains this. It has a See subscription button that opens Settings, then Subscription. Before, the explanation appeared in red under "Ask again" with nothing to tap, and the offer that opened over the chat could be closed by accident.
The coach's panel on jaksa.run works the same way: the offer sits in the conversation with its See subscription button and no heading. Before, the panel said "Your coach could not answer", and the offer appeared outside the panel, under the site's top bar.
After you tap See subscription from the chat, going back takes you to that chat with your message waiting in the box, so one tap sends it again. On jaksa.run it waits until the panel next loads, and in the app it is cleared when you sign out or start a workout.
If you carry on the conversation by voice, the offer card goes away, and jaksa.run no longer shows "Ask again" under it.
The VO2 max card on Fitness, when you have no VO2 max yet, now gives its advice once in the app and on jaksa.run. It adds a short "Or set your max heart rate in Settings" if your max heart rate is not known. Before, it repeated the same advice three times.

Build 491 · 2 November 2026

Clearer word on plans and the subscription for free runners

If you are not subscribed, every place that invites you to make a plan now says under it that plans come with Jaksa's subscription, which starts with one week free. This covers the first screen, the Plan tab, your home screen, My plan and your timeline on jaksa.run. If you have already had your free week, it is no longer mentioned.
Tapping "Make your plan" without a subscription now opens the subscription offer on its own. Before, a "Your plan could not start" alert could appear over it, and the same sentence was repeated in the chat, in a voice note and in the coach's chat panel on jaksa.run.
The subscription offer in the app and on jaksa.run now points to its own button ("To subscribe, tap See subscription below.") where before it sent you to Settings.
If you choose Call me in a workout's menu without a subscription, the message now tells you to subscribe from Settings, then Subscription, because no subscription button appears there.
On jaksa.run on a phone, if the coach's panel fills the screen when the subscription offer appears, the panel now closes so you can see the offer.

Build 490 · 1 November 2026

Ask your coach to call you, now or later

You can now ask your coach to call you, straight away or later: in a number of minutes, at a time of day, or when you reach a distance on your run. The call comes to the phone number you confirmed, just like a call you start from the menu.
A call set for a distance still reaches you if your phone loses its connection along the way.
You can ask your coach which calls are waiting and cancel any of them by voice, and when you cancel, your coach names only the call it cancelled. Calls still waiting when you end your workout are cancelled, so none rings afterwards.
An AI assistant you connect can also ask Jaksa to call you during the workout you are running.
When a call you asked for arrives, the app shows it with its Mute and Talk buttons and keeps it with the workout you set it in.

Build 489 · 1 November 2026

Clearer weekly distance charts

The "Miles a week" (or "Kilometres a week") card in Progress, under Me, now shows round distances up the side in your unit, with faint lines across, and the dates of the first and last week along the bottom. Before, the bars had no numbers or dates, so you had to tap each one to know which week it was. Tapping a bar still shows that week's numbers.
The "This block" weekly chart on your dashboard, in the app and on jaksa.run, now shows up to three distance marks to read your weeks against, where before a big week could have only one. If your biggest week is under one mile or kilometre, the marks are now in tenths. Before, a chart like that had no mark at all.

Build 488 · 1 November 2026

Choose your treadmill, and pick up a stopped speed ramp

When you choose Treadmill run, you now pick between connecting your gym's treadmill and Any other treadmill. While it connects, the page shows how to press Activate on the console, and if the treadmill is not found it reminds you to check Activate is on and offers "It won't connect". Once it connects, your workout opens straight away and stays connected, and if the console cannot be controlled from the app you are told at once.
With Any other treadmill, or after "It won't connect", you tell your coach the numbers yourself, and a gym treadmill that connects later in the workout is still picked up. Starting a treadmill workout with nothing connected now shows the connection steps and your coach talks you through them, where before it stayed silent.
The treadmill help in the app, on jaksa.run and from an AI assistant you connect now explains that you press Activate again every time the treadmill disconnects from an app, and that it cannot be pressed while a workout started on the console is running.
Asking your coach to continue a speed ramp after it has stopped now starts a new ramp from the belt's current speed up to your top speed. Before, the request could be refused even though your coach said all was well, and the belt stayed at the same speed.
When you change, restart or cancel speed reminders, your coach now tells you what actually happened to each one, including when one was already over. If a speed you or your coach set stops a ramp, your coach says so and names the speed it stopped at.

Build 487 · 1 November 2026

Choose your coach's microphone, and smoother treadmill workouts

You can now choose which microphone your coach hears you through: Earbuds, Watch or iPhone. The choice is in Settings under Music and on jaksa.run, and you can also ask your coach or an AI assistant you connect to change it. Earbuds works as before, while Watch and iPhone keep your music at full sound. Switching needs Jaksa open on screen, so if your phone is in your pocket, your coach asks you to open the app first.
On a connected gym treadmill, ending your workout or asking your coach to stop the belt now pauses the belt rather than stopping it, so the treadmill no longer ends its own session and signs you out. You finish with Stop on the console, which saves the workout there. When you resume, the belt goes back to the speed you had before the pause, and the pace shown during the run is more accurate.
A treadmill speed ramp now shows its steps as soon as you set it, even without a distance or time goal, and the run screen turns to its card. Before, the steps only appeared once you set a goal. After the workout, its page in the app and on jaksa.run shows each speed the ramp set, and a treadmill workout without GPS counts the distance the treadmill measured.
When your workout is set to end at its target, the split at that target now gives your time and a short closing word instead of urging you to keep going. A slower kilometre is now always described as slower, never as easier.
In the chat with your coach, once it has offered you buttons to choose from, it no longer repeats the same question in different words underneath them.

Build 486 · 1 November 2026

Nothing new to see in this build

This build brings no changes you can see in the app or on jaksa.run. Your runs, your coach and your settings work as before.

Build 485 · 1 November 2026

Jaksa now describes itself as a voice coach for sport

On jaksa.run, Jaksa is now introduced as a voice coach for sport, not only for running. It speaks of runs, walks, the treadmill and the gym, and names getting stronger as a goal. The privacy and terms pages use the same wording.
An AI assistant you connect to Jaksa now describes it the same way.
Nothing changes in how the app works in this build.

Build 484 · 1 November 2026

Your Apple Health history comes in without heating your phone

When Jaksa brings in your older workouts from Apple Health, it now does so gradually, so your iPhone stays cool. Before, bringing in a long history could make the phone hot and sluggish.
The import now waits while your iPhone is hot, in Low Power Mode, or low on battery and not charging, and carries on by itself afterwards. Settings tells you why it is waiting.
Your recent weeks still appear as quickly as before. Only your older history now takes longer to come in.

Build 483 · 1 November 2026

Your coach confirms a pause only once it has happened

When you ask your coach to pause or resume your workout, it now tells you so only once it has actually done it. Before, it sometimes said something like "Okay, pausing it" or "picking it back up" while nothing had happened yet.
Your workout still pauses and resumes as quickly as before.

Build 482 · 1 November 2026

Your rep count no longer goes quiet for a whole set

In a gym workout, if another sound on your iPhone takes over while your reps are being counted out, the count now comes back on its own once it can be heard again, and your coach still knows how many reps you have done. Before, the count could stay silent for the rest of the set.
Starting a workout before your coach has connected no longer shows a "Something went wrong" message. Your workout now starts normally without your coach's opening greeting.

Build 481 · 1 November 2026

Your coach returns after a network drop with your iPhone locked

If the network drops during a run while your iPhone is locked in a pocket, your coach now comes back on its own once the connection returns, and can hear you again. Before, it could stay silent for a long stretch of the run, sometimes until you stopped.

Build 480 · 1 November 2026

Pausing your run during a call no longer closes Jaksa

Pausing or resuming your workout while you are on a call now works as it should. Before, it could make Jaksa close. The same could happen when your coach had something to tell you during the call, such as noticing you had started walking.
Turning your coach off during a call now also stops it listening and speaking on that call. Before, it could keep going.
Your coach no longer reads out updates during a call that are out of date by the time it can say them. If it had something to tell you just as you hung up, it now tells you once the call is over, instead of it being lost.

Build 479 · 1 November 2026

Your coach picks up properly after a phone call

When a phone call interrupts your run, your coach now tells you it is back from the call and gives your current distance, your time so far and whether your run is paused. Before, your coach could come back after a call without saying anything.
After a call, your coach no longer repeats figures from before it, such as distance to go or minutes left, as if they were still current, and gives you up-to-date numbers when you ask. Before, it could read out those older numbers as though nothing had changed.

Build 478 · 1 November 2026

Your coach comes back sooner when your iPhone is locked

If your coach drops during a run while your iPhone is locked in a pocket, opening Jaksa now brings it back straight away, and later drops in the run are recovered just as quickly. Before, after you opened Jaksa or after the network had dropped, your coach could stay silent for many minutes before returning.
If your coach drops again later in the same run after it had been back for a while, it now tells you again: "The coach keeps dropping. Open Jaksa to bring it back." Before, you heard this only the first time.

Build 477 · 1 November 2026

No changes you will notice in this build

This build has no changes you can see or use in the app or on jaksa.run. Everything works as it did before.

Build 476 · 1 November 2026

The app and jaksa.run now open on what you saw last time

When you open the app, home now appears straight away as you last saw it, along with Crew and your dashboards, and each part updates in place as fresh information arrives. Before, the app opened on an empty home that kept spinning until everything had loaded.
On home, your plan, workouts and Progress now load independently of one another, and Crew's feed no longer waits for the row of people at the top. Weather from an earlier visit is not shown once it is out of date, and last week's Progress is not shown once a new week has begun.
On Crew, a copy saved from an earlier visit still shows its workouts but shows someone as running now only if that is current, in the app and on jaksa.run.
On jaksa.run, each page now shows what it showed last time straight away, in a new tab or on your next visit, and then updates. Before, only the tab you had open kept it. If you come back soon, the page also returns to where you had scrolled.

Build 475 · 1 November 2026

Gym sessions edited as exercises, and a clearer coach on the run

A gym session in your plan is now edited as exercises, each with its name, sets, reps and rest, in the app and on jaksa.run. Before, adding a step filled it with warm-up, steady and cool-down, and Start treated it as a run.
A planned session is now ticked off only once your run has covered a fair share of it. Before, it could show as done as soon as you pressed Start.
On a connected treadmill, if the belt stops and restarts during a speed ramp, the ramp now holds at the last speed the belt reached and your coach tells you. Before, the ramp could carry on and skip steps.
Near the finish of a distance goal, your coach now tells you what is left as laps of a 400 m track or as minutes at your current pace. When a plan step ends on a kilometre, you now hear one line with the split and what is left, instead of two lines close together.
Muting or unmuting with your AirPods no longer brings a spoken line from your coach, because the earbuds chime on their own. Before, that line could cut into what you were saying.
When you ask for the next bridge or other place along your way, your coach now names one ahead of you, with a fresh distance. A hand-drawn route that is too long now tells you so in plain words and suggests shortening it, instead of showing a technical error.

Build 474 · 31 October 2026

Screens in the app now get through brief network drops

Screens in the app that show your information now ride out a brief network drop on their own, including the route card and the list of routes behind Change. Before, a short drop could stop a screen or the route card from loading, and you had to try again.
If the connection stays down for longer, the route card still tells you it could not load, so you are never left looking at an empty card.

Build 473 · 31 October 2026

New chats with your coach now get through brief network drops

Starting a typed chat with your coach, a plan talk or a New conversation now rides out a brief network drop on its own, in the app and on jaksa.run. Before, a short drop could stop the chat from opening and you had to try again.
On jaksa.run, the chat with your coach now opens even when part of the page fails to load. Before, the chat could fail to appear.

Build 472 · 31 October 2026

Behind-the-scenes work with nothing new to see

This build brings no changes you will notice in the app or on jaksa.run. Your runs, your coach and your run pages on the website work just as they did in the previous build.

Build 471 · 31 October 2026

Take a long stop out of the middle of a run, and calmer busy moments

After a workout, the app and jaksa.run now list stretches in the middle where you stood still or barely walked, such as a phone call, each with a Take it out button. Taking one out removes its minutes and metres from your time, pace and splits, and Undo trim brings back the whole recording. Before, a long stop like this counted as running time.
Your coach can offer to take out a stretch like this while you are still running. If you say yes, the clock and distance on your phone, lock screen and Apple Watch leave it out straight away, and so does the page where others follow your run.
You can now trim the start of a workout and also take out a stretch from its middle. Before, saying yes to one meant the other was refused.
A stretch you have taken out is no longer listed again, and on jaksa.run a walk no longer offers its slow walking to be taken out. The Take it out button now stays on the right of each stretch, and a long line wraps instead of pushing it aside.
When Jaksa is briefly busy, the app and jaksa.run now wait it out on their own instead of stopping straight away. If it still cannot get through, you see a calm, muted line saying it did not go through and to try again in a minute. Before, screens such as Crew, Plan and Me stopped with a red "The server is busy" message.

Build 470 · 31 October 2026

Behind-the-scenes improvements with no visible changes

Nothing changes in what you see or do in the app or on jaksa.run in this build. Your runs, your coaching and your run pages on the website work as before.

Build 469 · 31 October 2026

Behind-the-scenes work with no visible changes

This build changes nothing you will see or do in the app or on jaksa.run. Running, coaching and your runs on the website work as they did in the previous build.

Build 468 · 31 October 2026

Your coach waits its turn and says one thing at a time

Your coach now finishes what it is saying before the next update starts. Before, a lap or split could begin while the coach was still talking, or two updates could run together in one breath.
Lap and split check-ins now come one at a time, each as its own short update.
When your coach asks you something, including its first question at the start of a workout, it now waits for your answer before moving on to other news. A one-time offer your coach makes at the start now comes as its own line after that opening question, instead of as a second question in the same breath.
During a run, announcements of your next workout step now wait until you have finished speaking. In the gym, a cue for your next set waits until you have answered.
Reminders and questions that are no longer current are now dropped instead of being said late.
Your coach no longer reads out lists of your earbuds or other devices and no longer remarks on who is following your run. If a sensor changes during a workout, you hear one short notice, and a switch of heart-rate sensor happens without comment.

Build 467 · 31 October 2026

Music stays at full volume and runs start from your first steps

When your Apple Watch listens for your voice during a workout, your music now plays at full volume the whole time. Before, music from apps such as Apple Music played quieter for the entire workout.
When your coach offers to start your run from your first steps and you say yes, the run clock and distance move there straight away. Before, they kept counting from when you pressed start, so the time you saw during the run could differ from the time saved afterwards.
The new start now shows everywhere: on the run screen, on the lock screen, on your Apple Watch, in what your coach tells you, in your splits and on the page where others follow your run live. It also holds if you resume a workout, and the saved run matches what you saw.

Build 466 · 31 October 2026

Opening the app is steadier and your feed loads faster

Opening the app no longer briefly stops Jaksa from answering. Before, this could show up as errors or screens that would not load for a few seconds.
Your feed of runs now loads faster.
If Jaksa is busy for a moment while you import from Apple Health, the import now waits and carries on instead of failing.
If you change a setting such as your units while typing to your coach, the home screen shows the new setting straight away.

Build 465 · 31 October 2026

Changing your workout mid-run now drops the old plan's steps

If you change your planned workout during a run, your coach no longer calls out steps from the old plan, such as a hard part or a walk you replaced. Reminders and pace corrections about the old steps are dropped too.
After the change, the planned workout in your coach's briefing and in the app shows the new workout, with its type and its distance or duration. The old plan no longer comes back.
On a treadmill, if you hand the speed back to your workout steps just as you change the plan, your coach no longer tells you the old step's speed. You hear the new speed instead.
Treadmill power on the Effort card now uses a standard estimate instead of one tuned to your past runs. This also stops the "The server is busy" message some runners saw when opening the app.

Build 464 · 31 October 2026

Counted gym sets end on their own and "let's go" no longer skips one

In a gym workout where your Apple Watch or phone counts your reps, a set now ends by itself once you reach its number of reps and stop, and your rest starts from your last rep. Saying "done" still ends it sooner. Drop sets, sets counted per side and sets with no number of reps still wait for your "done".
Saying "go", "let's go" or "ready" just after a set has started now keeps you on that set. Before, it could skip the set and its rest. Before your first set it starts set one, and to skip a set you say "skip this set" or "next set".
A set you skip is kept as skipped, and "back" takes you to the start of it, even after you skip two sets in a row. Something you asked for earlier, such as moving to the next exercise, is no longer done a second time.
If your Apple Watch joins the workout a few seconds late, it now takes over counting your reps, and if your coach had asked you to count out loud, your coach corrects that. Before, the watch counted while your coach still expected you to count yourself.
An exercise you swap in now counts to its own number of reps, and a late "done" no longer cuts your rest short.
If your coach's voice drops during a workout and comes back by itself, it is no longer restarted a moment later. Before, that restart could talk over you.

Build 463 · 31 October 2026

Gym reps get their own counting voice and quiet rests on the watch

In a gym workout, your reps are now counted out loud by a separate counting voice instead of your coach, in English, French, Spanish, German and Bulgarian. It counts to 25 and then says "one more" for every rep after that. In other languages your coach still counts as before, and the count never stops your coach from talking to you.
During the rest between sets, your Apple Watch no longer counts reps or taps your wrist, and each new set starts counting again from one.
If you go back to an earlier set, it keeps the reps your watch counted for it. A planned run no longer stops the counting in your next gym workout.
If you use your Apple Watch as the microphone, your coach no longer keeps switching between the watch and your AirPods when the connection to the watch is slow. Your coach can still hear you the whole time.

Build 462 · 31 October 2026

Behind-the-scenes work, nothing new to see in this build

This build only contains work behind the scenes. Nothing changes in the app or on jaksa.run that you will notice or need to do anything about.

Build 461 · 31 October 2026

Saying yes while your coach is answering no longer loses the answer

If you ask your coach something and then say a short "yes" while the answer is on its way, your coach now still gives you that answer, once. Before, the answer could be thrown away and you never heard it. This also works in other languages, such as "Oui" in French.
If what you say next is a new question, your coach answers that one instead, as before. An answer on its way is also kept if your coach's connection drops for a moment, and other things your coach has to tell you in the meantime are no longer lost.

Build 460 · 31 October 2026

Behind-the-scenes work, no changes you will notice

This build contains only behind-the-scenes work. Nothing changes in the app or on jaksa.run that you will see or need to do anything about.

Build 459 · 31 October 2026

Your coach is heard again after a phone call, and Apple Watch fixes

After a phone call during a workout, your coach now comes back and you can hear it again. Before, it could stay silent after the call ended. This also works when your coach talks to you as a phone call.
Anything your coach has to tell you while it is coming back after a call, such as your next gym step or your workout summary, now waits until you can hear it. Before, it could be said with no sound.
If you press Start while Jaksa is still installing or updating on your Apple Watch, the workout now waits for the watch and joins it once Jaksa is ready, so the lifts your watch counts are kept. Before, your phone recorded on its own and the watch's counted lifts were lost.
If your Apple Watch is recording a workout on its own, the watch now says so and your phone shows it too. Where it can, Jaksa joins the watch's recording to your workout instead of keeping two. If it cannot, it tells you that Apple Health keeps the workout and there is nothing you need to do. Before, the watch said your phone was out of reach.
When your coach has news about what was fixed in a new build, it now tells you once you are settled into your workout and at an easier moment, not in the opening minutes. If your workout ends before that, it tells you in your next one. Before, this news could pile onto the announcements at the start.
If your coach pauses in the middle of a sentence, another message no longer starts in that pause. Before, a message could slip into the pause and be lost while your coach finished its sentence, and your coach treated it as said.

Build 458 · 31 October 2026

Confirm your phone number with a texted code, no country code

On the Phone page in Settings, you now type your phone number as you dial it, without a country code. Jaksa reads it back with the country it belongs to, such as "512 555 0100, in the United States", and asks you to confirm. If it cannot tell, it asks which country the number is in. Your coach does the same when you give your number by voice.
To confirm your phone number, tap "Text me a code" and Jaksa texts you a code. On iPhone, tap the code above the keyboard to fill it in. Before, Jaksa phoned you and read the code out.
jaksa.run now has a Phone number card in Settings, where you can add your number and confirm it with a texted code. Before, the website had no place for your phone number.
You can also ask your coach by voice to text you the code, including during a phone call with your coach.
If a message from your coach is cut off or never reaches you, for example because an answer to your question took its place, your coach now knows you did not hear it and can come back to it. Before, it treated the message as said.

Build 457 · 30 October 2026

Call me on your Apple Watch, and clearer gym timings

Your Apple Watch now has a "Call me" button in every workout: swipe right for the controls, then up. Your coach phones you, and the coach in your earbuds goes quiet until the call ends, as when you press "Call me" on your phone. If your phone number is not confirmed yet, the watch tells you where to do that in the app.
"Call me" from your Apple Watch now also works when your phone has no mobile data. Before, pressing it with your phone in your pocket and no signal did nothing.
When you pause a gym workout, your Apple Watch now stops counting reps and stops tapping your wrist until you resume. Before, it kept counting and tapping while you were paused.
In gym workouts your coach now says set and rest times in words, such as "1 minute 15 seconds to go". Before, it could misread a time like "1:15" aloud. The screen still shows "1:15".
If you ask your coach why a gym set was not counted, it now tells you whether your Apple Watch is counting that lift, or that nothing you are wearing can count it. Before, it could give a made-up reason.
Your coach no longer reads you messages that have gone out of date by the time it gets to say them, such as an old turn on your route or old numbers at the start of a workout. Reminders and questions meant for you are still said. Voice chat on jaksa.run works the same way.

Build 456 · 30 October 2026

Your coach no longer talks over you when you start speaking

If you start speaking just as your coach is about to tell you something during a run, your coach now waits until you have finished and answers you. Before, it could read its message over you and never reply to what you asked.
This also works when you talk to your coach through your Apple Watch.
The voice chat with your coach in the app and on jaksa.run now waits for you in the same way.
If the voice connection drops just as your coach is about to tell you something, your coach now says it once the voice reconnects. Before, that message could be lost.

Build 455 · 30 October 2026

Your coach tells you when a network blocks its voice

On a network that does not let your coach's voice through, such as some gym, hotel or office Wi-Fi, your coach now says so once, on screen and in your ears: "The coach can't get through on this network. Try another Wi-Fi or mobile data." Before, Jaksa kept reconnecting until it told you the voice keeps dropping.
During a workout, Jaksa still tries again to reach your coach from time to time. If the voice still cannot get through, it tells you straight away instead of starting to reconnect over and over again.
The voice chat with your coach in the app and on jaksa.run shows the same message in this case, instead of "The voice dropped".

Build 454 · 30 October 2026

Clearer setup guide for connecting an AI assistant on jaksa.run

On jaksa.run, the guide to connecting Jaksa to an AI assistant you connect now matches what you see in that assistant. The drawing for the second step shows the tabs and the button where they actually appear, and the guide names the tab to open and the label that shows once Jaksa is connected.
Nothing has changed in the app itself. Running, gym workouts and your coach work as they did in the previous build.

Build 453 · 30 October 2026

Your coach stays on the line when you lock your phone

When you talk to your coach from the home screen, the conversation now carries on if you lock your phone or switch to another app. Before, it hung up the moment Jaksa left the screen, so an answer you had just given could be lost.
You can end that conversation with the Hang up button on the lock screen. It also ends when you leave the home screen or start a workout.
On Android, the lock-screen controls for the conversation now appear as soon as you start it, or as soon as you allow the microphone. Before, locking the phone while your coach was connecting could leave you without them.
On Android, hanging up on your coach during the countdown before a workout no longer stops the workout from recording while your phone is locked.
If you end a phone call that came in while your coach was connecting, the coach no longer opens on its own afterwards.

Build 452 · 30 October 2026

Behind-the-scenes work, no visible changes

This build has no changes you can see or use in the app or on jaksa.run. Running, gym workouts and your coach work as they did in the previous build.

Build 451 · 30 October 2026

No more invented hills on a Pixel 10 Pro XL

On some phones, including the Pixel 10 Pro XL, Jaksa no longer reports climbs on flat ground. Before, it could call hills that were not there and add them to your run's total climb and its splits.
Your estimated running power now stays believable on every phone. Before, on those same phones, it could jump to figures far above anything you were producing on a flat run.

Build 450 · 30 October 2026

Run distance no longer comes out short on a Pixel 10 Pro XL

On a Pixel 10 Pro XL, a run with good GPS now records its full distance. Before, the distance could come out several percent short even with a clear signal. Other phones measure distance as they did in the previous build.

Build 449 · 30 October 2026

Behind-the-scenes work, no visible changes

This build has no changes you can see or use in the app or on jaksa.run. Running, gym workouts and your coach work as they did in the previous build.

Build 448 · 30 October 2026

Gym workouts no longer turn into treadmill runs

A gym workout now always stays a gym workout, however you start it: from Start on your plan, from a Garmin watch, by asking your coach, or by going back into one. Before, only the Gym card and your Apple Watch's Gym row kept it that way, and starting another way near a treadmill you had used before could make it a treadmill run.
A treadmill nearby can no longer pause your gym workout, so your first sets count from the start. Before, a treadmill resetting could pause the workout over your opening reps.

Build 447 · 30 October 2026

Say your gym session in one go, and see last time beside today

In the gym you can now tell your coach your whole session in one sentence, such as "3 sets of bench, 5 of squats, 3 of curls", and it appears in the order you said it. You can also add exercises or more sets to the session you have, even mid-workout, and an exercise already in your session gains the new sets, so nothing you have logged is lost.
With no programme, saying "give me an upper body workout", or lower body, full body or legs, loads a ready-made session straight away: on machines if you are new, or with a barbell if you ask for one. The empty gym page now suggests these ways to start, your coach opens by asking what you are doing, and during a workout your coach can tell you the time you will finish.
The ring round the orb on the main page now fills as you do your planned sets, and the session page shows how many sets you have done, such as "Sets done 5 / 12", over a bar split by exercise. Finished exercises fold up to what you lifted, the one you are on shows today beside last time, the ones ahead show your aim and last time's first set, and the exercise page shows each set against last time.
A set that beats the same set last time, heavier or with more reps without giving up either, is now marked with an up arrow, and when you finish, the orb shows how many sets you beat. Following a gym workout on jaksa.run now shows the bar of sets and these marks, and an AI assistant you connect can read your sets with last time beside them.
On a treadmill, a speed you tell your coach now stays on screen instead of being replaced by your footpod's or watch's speed, and people following you on jaksa.run see it too. If the phone is not controlling the treadmill and you ask your coach to change the speed or incline, your coach now tells you to set it on the treadmill yourself and notes the speed you set, instead of saying "Done".
The kilometre time your coach tells you during a run now matches the split saved with your run. Before, the two could differ by a few seconds.

Jaksa's own announcements no longer cut in before your answer

Announcements from Jaksa during a workout, such as the offer to tell you what was fixed, a note on going faster, your goal, your form or your gym session, now wait until your coach has answered what you just said and you are both quiet. Before, one of these could come instead of the answer to your question, leaving what you said unanswered.
This also holds when your connection drops and comes back mid-workout, and while an announcement waits, your splits and other updates still come on time.

Build 445 · 30 October 2026

Gym workouts get their own pages, even with nothing planned

A workout you start as Gym now always shows the gym pages, even when no sets are planned. Before, a gym workout with nothing planned could show running pages, and your own pages now also leave out the map, pace, distance and splits in the gym.
With nothing planned, the main page says "Nothing planned yet" under the clock, and the session page lists your recent gym sessions so you can repeat one with a single word. Your coach also asks whether you want the same session as last time, and if you are new to gym workouts you see a few things you can say to get started.
Each set you tell your coach now shows up as you go: counted on the main page, listed with its exercise on the session page, and the latest one with its demo on the exercise page. Your Apple Watch counts them too, and a weight you mention before a set now counts towards the set you are about to do, not one you have finished.
If your plan has a gym day with no sets yet, starting it from the Gym card or by voice now fills it with the next session of your programme.
On jaksa.run, following a gym workout with nothing planned now shows "Nothing planned yet" instead of "no goal set".
An AI assistant you connect can now load one of your past gym sessions again for you.

Build 444 · 30 October 2026

Your coach now finishes chat answers that were cut off

If your coach's answer in chat is cut off partway, for example while you are away from the app, your coach now picks your message up again and the answer appears in the chat. Before, the chat could stop at "Your coach was cut off" and you had to ask again yourself.

Tapping your coach's offers in chat now works

When your coach offers in chat to change your page, for example to add a goals block, tapping that button now makes the change. Before, the tap could be dropped and nothing happened.
Asking your coach in your own words to change your own pages, blocks, goals, profile or numbers now goes through as a normal request. Before, some of these requests could be dropped in the same way.

Build 440 · 30 October 2026

Treadmill walks say so, and VoiceOver reads the watch warning

When you pick a walk on the treadmill, the Today card, the Start screen and your Apple Watch now say "Treadmill walk". Before, they said only that it was a walk, so you could not tell the treadmill had been taken.
With VoiceOver on, the warning about your Apple Watch that can appear before a workout now reads out "Open the Watch app" and "Start anyway". Before, it read only "Close", which could stop you from starting the workout.

Build 439 · 30 October 2026

Your Start pick stands, type in your own fitness numbers

Whatever you pick at Start, on your phone, your Apple Watch or by telling your coach, is now taken as your choice. Your coach asks only how far or how long, and no longer asks whether it is a walk, an easy run or a treadmill run. A run started on your Apple Watch without saying indoors or outdoors can still get the treadmill question.
If you pick a run but walk the whole way, Jaksa saves it as a walk and your coach tells you. Say "it's a run" to switch it back, or tell your coach to keep it a run earlier on. Walking breaks during a run never turn it into a walk, and if you have asked your coach to stay quiet, it makes the change without announcing it.
Your coach now says short distances the way a runner does: "840 metres" rather than "0.84 kilometres", "almost a mile" just before the mile, and a quarter, half or three quarters of a mile. A reminder you set at 0.75 miles is read back as 0.75, where before it could become 0.8.
You can now type in your resting heart rate and VO2 max in a "Your own numbers" card on the Fitness page, in the app and on jaksa.run, or by telling an AI assistant you connect. They are marked as entered by you and kept apart from Apple Health's readings, and a VO2 max you enter that is newer than your watch's becomes the main number shown.
Adding a photo to a run now works even when you have shared only some of your photos with Jaksa. If a photo or clip cannot be added, the screen says why and how to fix it, instead of a bare "try again", and picking the same photo again after allowing all photos adds it only once.
A new page, jaksa.run/plans, lists what is free and what comes with a subscription. In ChatGPT, your coach now describes the subscription in words and links to that page instead of showing prices.

Build 438 · 30 October 2026

Done closes at once, steadier watch audio, more gym demos

Tapping Done on the finished screen now closes it straight away. Before, it could feel slow, and a second tap could start a new workout behind it.
When your Apple Watch is the microphone, the app no longer crashes when your AirPods connect or switch over mid-run. Your coach's voice also comes back after music starts, where before it could go quiet once the music began.
Ask your coach which songs by an artist it knows at your beat, and it now gives only beats it actually knows. Say "play that" afterwards and it plays those songs, even when Apple Music's own search turns up none. Before, it could guess a song's beat, or say it had none of the artist's songs right after listing them.
Mid-run you can ask your coach to save those songs as a playlist without playing them, and you can ask for the beat of a single song by name.
Barbell squat, front squat, bench press, deadlift, overhead press and barbell row are now in the gym library with technique videos. Saying "bench" or "squats" in the gym now shows a demo, where before these exercises had none.
With VoiceOver on, the sheet that asks which workout you want after you tap Start now reads out its three cards. Before, everything on it read as Close.

Build 437 · 30 October 2026

No changes you will notice in this build

Nothing has changed in the app or on jaksa.run that you can see or use. This build holds only work behind the scenes, and your runs, plan and coach work as they did in the previous build.

Build 436 · 29 October 2026

Start asks which workout, and suggested songs now play

Tapping Start now opens three cards, Outdoor run, Treadmill run and Gym, and tapping one starts that workout. The card you pick is the workout you get, even when your plan says something else, and if today's planned workout matches the card, it comes along with it.
The Treadmill card works on a gym treadmill with nothing connected to your phone. Your coach no longer tells you it can't hear the treadmill.
If you have no gym session today, the Gym card starts the next session in your gym programme. Without a programme it starts an empty gym workout, and your coach offers to set one up. A gym workout never takes the place of today's planned run.
Apple Watch shows the same three choices as rows, sized to fit the smallest watch. Gym on the watch starts the same session as Gym on the phone.
When none of your own songs match your step rate, your coach now plays the songs it suggests at that beat in Apple Music, skips any that aren't available in your country, and tells you how many it found. Before, it could only name them. In chat on jaksa.run and in an AI assistant you connect, your coach still names the songs, because the music plays on your phone.

Your coach keeps to your units and finds a run done a day early

Your coach now gives every distance and pace in the units you run in. Before, a runner who uses kilometres could hear paces per mile. If you ask about a number your coach gave in the wrong unit, it says so and gives it again in your units.
A run done a day before or after its planned day now ticks off that planned workout, as long as it is about the same size and in the same Monday to Sunday week. Before, running your long run a day early could leave it open, and the next day's short recovery run was then labelled as your long run.
A short run is no longer labelled as a long run because a long run was planned that day.
In the head coach chat, a PDF that is too large is now turned away when you send it, with a note asking you to send only the pages you need. Before, a large PDF could be accepted and your coach then saw only its name.
Your head coach can now still see your most recent photos a few messages after you sent them, so you can keep asking about them.

Build 433 · 29 October 2026

Your coach comes back quickly when your microphone goes silent

If your microphone stops picking up sound mid-workout, your coach now notices and comes back within moments. Before, it could stay silent for the rest of the run. Updates you missed while it was gone, such as kilometre splits, are said once it is back, and if your coach keeps dropping out it tells you so in your ears, not only on the screen.
A cough or clearing your throat is no longer taken as you speaking. Your coach stays quiet instead of answering, and no longer announces a lap time or pace nobody asked for.
When your coach says it will get back to you on a question, you now hear the full answer when it comes. Before, that answer could be dropped as if you had already been answered. When your coach asks whether to stop at your target, it no longer reads out the laps still to run.
If none of your Apple Music or Spotify songs match your step rate, your coach now names songs at that beat in the kind of music you like. Without a music service connected, you can still ask for songs at a beat. Suggested songs are original recordings, never covers, karaoke or tribute versions.
Telling your coach to talk less or more before a workout now sets a quieter or chattier level, and that level holds when you start the workout.
On Apple Watch, a gym workout started right after a treadmill run no longer begins inside that run in Apple Health or gets ended when that run stops. Stopping a treadmill workout from the phone before the watch has caught up now still ends it on the watch.

Build 432 · 29 October 2026

Your plan only ticks off workouts you actually did

A planned workout is now ticked off only when what you did is the right kind of workout and covers a fair part of it. A short false start, or a quick walk begun as the day's gym session, leaves the planned one open on your plan. Deleting a workout un-ticks the planned one it counted for, and restoring it ticks it again.
If you start a gym session and go out running instead, the workout becomes a run from its start. Your pace and distance are kept, and your steps are no longer counted as reps on your Apple Watch.
You can tell your coach mid-run how much to talk, as quiet, normal or chatty, or as a number such as 40, and it tells you the level it has set. Asking for your normal set of updates again no longer changes how much your coach talks.
At the end of a run your coach now speaks about today's goal as it stood when you stopped, including a goal you changed during the run, and says whether you reached it.
Your coach now knows what kind of workout you are doing and which planned session it follows, so a gym session is no longer called your easy run. If it does get something wrong, it now puts it right even after you have asked something else.
When your Apple Watch has not picked up your heart rate yet, the phone and the watch now ask you to wear it snug above the wrist bone. Before, they said the watch was not reaching the phone.

Switch your watch microphone in the middle of a workout

You can now turn the Apple Watch microphone on or off during a workout, and the change happens straight away. Before, it only took effect from your next workout.
You can make the change by asking your coach, in Settings, on jaksa.run or through an AI assistant you connect.
Your coach tells you how the switch went: that it is hearing you through your earbuds now, or that your watch is not sending sound yet. If moving back to your earbuds has not worked yet, your coach says it is still trying rather than that it is done.
Changing the setting on one phone no longer affects a workout running on another phone, and a workout you have already stopped is left alone.
On an earlier version of the app, your coach now says the change applies from your next workout.

Your music comes back after a beat, and a muted-earbuds warning

When a beat from your coach ends, the music it paused now plays again. This happens whether the beat fades out, you ask for it off, or you end your run, and it works with Apple Music in Jaksa, Spotify and your music app on Android. Before, you could be left running in silence.
If you asked your coach to pause your music, it stays paused when a beat ends.
If your earbuds have muted their own microphone, your coach now tells you it cannot hear you, and on Beats it says which press unmutes them. The Mute button in Jaksa still shows only whether you have muted your coach.
When you mute your coach, it hears nothing at all until you unmute, on iPhone and on Android.

On Android, one earbud press unmutes your coach

On Android, while your coach is muted, one press of play or pause on your Bluetooth earbuds now brings your coach back, so you can answer without taking out your phone. Before, you had to unmute on the screen. Your music is left playing or paused as it was, and skipping a track still skips.
When you mute your coach on Android, it now tells you that you can tap an earbud to unmute.

Build 425 · 29 October 2026

On Android, volume buttons control your music while muted

On Android, while your coach is muted or paused, the volume buttons now turn your music or podcast up and down. Before, they changed your coach's volume instead, so you could not adjust what you were listening to. When you unmute, the buttons control your coach's volume again.
On Android, a play or pause press on your earbuds while your coach is muted is no longer lost. Before, it could go to your music app instead of Jaksa, or reach neither.

Build 424 · 29 October 2026

Your coach knows your whole running history when making a plan

When you make a plan, your coach now tells you your longest run ever and how far back your runs go, and asks only about running you did before that. Before, it could ask your longest run and how long you had been running even when all your runs were already in Jaksa.
If your past runs are still coming in while you plan, your coach says how far along they are, calls your longest run the longest so far, and asks whether you have run further. The dates it mentions are in your own time zone.
If you type a message while your coach is still writing your plan in a voice conversation, that plan is no longer lost and your coach still shows it to you. Before, your coach could say the plan had not been saved and then write a different one.
An AI assistant you connect now also sees your longest run ever and when your runs begin.

Build 423 · 29 October 2026

Your coach shows when it is thinking, and plan links open the app

While your coach is working something out, such as building your plan, the word under the orb now says Thinking, and screen readers hear "Your coach is thinking". It goes back to Listening when your coach is done. Before, it said Listening the whole time, in the app and in the coach panel on jaksa.run.
If your coach's voice reconnects, the orb no longer stays on Thinking for a question you asked before the reconnect.
The "your plan is ready" email now has a button that opens the Plan tab in the Jaksa app. On a computer, or on a phone without Jaksa, it opens your plan on jaksa.run, and if you are signed out, signing in brings you back to your plan.
Opening a plan link in the app first closes settings, a chat or the setup, the same as the plan notification does. It never interrupts a workout in progress.
On Android, plan links from jaksa.run now open the Jaksa app instead of the browser. Links to a single workout or week also open the Plan tab. On iPhone, those links open on jaksa.run.

Build 422 · 29 October 2026

Three new coach voices of Jaksa's own, in English

Settings now offers three new coach voices, Ridge, Lark and Grit, made for Jaksa and marked as Jaksa's own. You can play a sample of each before you choose.
These voices speak English only. When your coach speaks another language, it uses a similar voice that speaks that language, and your coach can tell you why.
Your choice is kept, so when you are back in English your coach speaks in the voice you picked again.
Ridge, Lark and Grit also count your reps in a workout, so the count is in the same voice as the rest of your coaching.
If you change your coach's language through an AI assistant you connect, it tells you which voice your coach will use in that language.

Build 421 · 29 October 2026

Treadmill runs keep counting when your watch goes quiet

On a treadmill, if your phone stops hearing your Apple Watch for a while, your distance now keeps going at your recent pace and your pace stays on screen. Before, the distance stood still with no pace until the watch came back.
When your watch is heard again, the distance it counted in the meantime is kept, and your distance never goes backwards. Before, that catch-up could be thrown away and leave your run short.
If the watch stays quiet, your coach asks you once what speed the treadmill is set to and goes on from the speed you say. Until you answer, other questions, such as about your goal or music, wait.

Build 420 · 29 October 2026

Your week against your plan, and subscribing from the UK

After a week ends, your first chat with your coach, in the app or on jaksa.run, offers to go over it. Your coach sets the week you ran against the week planned: what was done, moved, cut short, skipped or missed, any extra runs, your distance against the plan, your long run and how much of it was easy.
From that your coach suggests one change to the days ahead and says why, such as making your next hard session easy or holding next week steady. You can also say you are sick, not feeling it, short of time or that it is hot, and it suggests a change for that instead.
Nothing in your plan changes until you say yes. When you do, only the workouts the change names are changed, and the rest of your plan stays as it was.
From the UK, the subscription page on jaksa.run now points you to subscribe in the Jaksa app, with buttons to get it. You can still subscribe on the web if you pay as a UK business or your billing address is outside the UK, and your coach and an AI assistant you connect tell you the same.
If a web subscription with a UK billing address and no UK VAT number goes through, it is cancelled straight away and the page tells you why. Nothing is charged during your free week, and a payment already taken is refunded; if that refund cannot be made at once, the page says it will be made by hand and gives hello@jaksa.run for questions.
If you come back to jaksa.run signed out after paying from the app and your bank wants the payment confirmed, the page now gives you a link to sign in and see it.

Build 419 · 29 October 2026

Location access for workouts started on Apple Watch

If you run with Jaksa on an Apple Watch and allowed location only while using the app, Jaksa now asks you once, inside the app, to allow it Always. It asks only after your watch has recorded a workout with this phone, never on first launch, during a workout or during setup.
Jaksa's own sheet first explains why it asks, then iOS asks you to change to Always Allow. The sheet also mentions that iOS may remind you from time to time that Jaksa uses your location.
With Always allowed, a workout you start on the watch while your phone is locked keeps your phone's location, and Jaksa on your phone stays awake through the run. Before, iOS could refuse the phone's location in that case and the app could fall asleep.
If you say no, Jaksa does not ask again. Settings, Phone permissions now shows your current location level and opens iPhone Settings so you can change it.

Plans that start from your own running history

When you ask your coach for a plan, by voice during a run or in chat, it now starts from your running history and past races. It tells you what it sees and asks only what it cannot tell, such as your goal, training days, long-run day, injuries and how you like to be coached, instead of asking how much you run or for a recent time.
Name a race and your coach now finds it and says it back with its date and distance and details such as whether it is flat or hilly, its climb and the usual race-day weather, instead of asking you for the date. If it cannot find the race it says so, and if you have not said what you are training for it suggests a race once, never after you have said no race.
If you mention a past race that is not in your records, your coach looks for it among your workouts and asks whether it was one of them. Your paces now come from your recent efforts, and from your all-time bests when you ask for them.
Your coach now walks you through a new plan as its first two weeks day by day, then the shape of the weeks up to race day. The first week of your first plan is set against what you have actually been running lately, and walks no longer count as running.
If you leave a "Your plan" talk part way and start a new chat, the talk now carries on there with everything you already told your coach, instead of starting over. The earlier chat is renamed "Your plan, earlier" and talking in it brings the talk back, and a name you gave a chat yourself is never changed.

Build 416 · 29 October 2026

Report and block runners, and treadmill workouts joined midway

You can now report a comment, cheer or photo, including cheers on a friend's workout, with the flag beside it in the app and on jaksa.run. Pick a reason and the report is sent, what you reported disappears from your view straight away, and a person looks at every report within 24 hours.
Another runner's profile now has Report and Block, and removing one of your followers offers Block too. A block ends follows both ways and keeps you out of each other's search, feeds, comments and cheers, and the other runner is not told.
Settings, Privacy & sharing, Blocked runners now lists the runners you have blocked or reported, in the app and on jaksa.run, with Unblock and Show again. An AI assistant you connect can also report, block and unblock for you.
Comments that are abusive, insulting, threatening, sexual or hateful are now held back. Only their writer sees them, with a line saying so.
If your treadmill belt is already moving when Jaksa connects, the workout now starts on its own and takes in the treadmill's whole workout, with its distance and start time, in the app, Apple Health and Strava. Kilometres from before Jaksa joined show no pace instead of a made-up one, your coach greets you as joining a workout already under way, and walking on after a workout does not start a new one.
If you press Start in the app before starting the belt, the treadmill's distance now replaces what the phone counted instead of being added to it. A treadmill workout you go back into after the app closes keeps its distance, and if your treadmill will not connect while the belt runs, a notification asks you to pause it once.

Build 415 · 29 October 2026

A steadier run page on Android phones

On an Android phone, the maps on your run page now stay as they are when you look back at your phone during a run. Before, they were drawn again from scratch each time, and over a long run the app could slow down and scroll less smoothly.
On iPhone, nothing you can see or do has changed in this build.

Build 414 · 29 October 2026

Steadier auto-pause, and a plan for members who only train in the gym

Auto-pause now pauses your run when you stop, also when you run with an Apple Watch or a footpod. Before, a short stop could go unpaused.
Auto-pause no longer pauses you while you keep running in places where GPS loses track of you, such as under a bridge or on an indoor run. It resumes as soon as you run on after a real stop.
If you only train in the gym, your gym programme is now your plan from the start. It shows in the app and on jaksa.run on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, picking up from the session after your last one, and when it runs out it continues on the same weekdays.
When you talk your plan through with your coach and the gym is all you train for, your coach asks what the gym is for instead of asking about races, long runs and how much you run. The plan then moves to the days you choose.
Gym days in your plan keep their sets when you move them, or when an AI assistant you connect changes them.
When you plan with your coach, it now knows your recent running from Apple Health right away, also when you only change your level or your training days.

Build 413 · 29 October 2026

Your Apple Watch can now show the shape of your workout

You can now add a Workout shape widget to a page on your Apple Watch. It draws your workout as a thin strip with a marker for where you are now, matching the shape card on your phone.
On the strip, hard stretches are green, warm-up and cool-down are blue, and walking and rest are grey. Parts you have already done are dimmer, and there are no numbers to read.
When there is no shape to draw, such as in a gym session or on a run without a plan, the strip is not shown.

Your coach's note now matches your workout card

The coach's note after a workout now gives the same time as your workout card, in the app, on jaksa.run and on Strava. Before, the two could be a second apart, with the note saying 2:25 beside a card showing 2:24.
The distance and pace the note gives for the whole workout now match the card as well, also on a walk where you stood still for a while. Before, they could disagree with the card and with each other.
A record set over the whole workout is now written in the note the way the card and the Records page show it, such as 5:04. Before, the note could say "5m 05s" for the same time.
A workout with no distance, such as a gym session, now gets no distance in the note. Before, the note could say 0.00 km.

Build 410 · 29 October 2026

Following a friend's gym session shows their set and time left

When you follow a friend's gym session, in the app or on jaksa.run, you now see the time, the set they are on (or the next one while they rest) and the time left in that set or rest, in gold, changing colour once it runs over its estimate. Before, it showed an empty pace and a distance of zero. A warm-up is now shown as a warm-up, and a run measured in metres within the session keeps its pace and distance.
On a treadmill, if you tell your coach your speed and later change the belt without saying, your pace now follows the distances you read out once they show the belt has changed, until you say a new speed. Before, your pace could stay on the speed you first said for the rest of the run.
When you draw a route, in the app and on jaksa.run, the numbers under it now read Distance in blue and Climb in tan, the same as the route card in your chat. Before, they read Length and Climbing in plain white.
On the Injuries and conditions page, in the app and on jaksa.run, the height question now says why it is asked: "Your height helps read your step length." Before, it showed two lines for one question and neither said why.
On the Plan tab, in the app and on jaksa.run, the numbers on the "Your paces" card are teal again, and the finish time under "Faster." now uses the colour for times.
The Stretching list and its player now start below the clock and battery at the top of the screen. Before, their back buttons sat underneath them.

A training plan you keep now stays as you kept it

If you turn voice off while your coach is still working on your training plan and then type to it, your coach now works on your plan once. Before, the voice conversation could carry on beside the typed one, and both changed your plan at the same time.
A plan you have kept now stays as it is. Before, a reply could put a new draft over the plan you had just kept and show "Your plan is ready" again.

Gym sets you tell your coach now show their weight and reps

In a gym workout, the "This session" and "This exercise" pages now list each set you finish with its weight and reps, for example "28 kg, 5 reps", as you told them to your coach. A set you did not tell your coach shows the step's weight with the reps counted for you, or the weight and the time you worked.
The sets you tell your coach stay with your workout even if it is interrupted partway through.
The orb page and the gym line on your Apple Watch now show the weight of your set.
People following your gym workout on jaksa.run now see each exercise's finished sets with their weight and reps, and so does an AI assistant you connect. A weight you mention while resting no longer shows there as a finished set.
A set you tell your coach now goes on the right set, even after you swap to another exercise partway through. Before, it could land on the wrong set.

Build 406 · 29 October 2026

Every sensor in the Sensors list, and miles wherever you look

The Sensors list now names and counts every sensor connected during your workout. Before, a sensor could stream for the whole run yet have no row and not be counted. Rows no longer say where a sensor is worn, in the app, on jaksa.run or for an AI assistant you connect.
If a sensor drops out, its row turns red and says where on your run it was lost, for example "lost at 4.6 km, trying again". It leaves the count and the Sensors button turns red until it is back, and your coach tells you about it once. Nothing is shown about sensors you did not bring.
The workout page on jaksa.run no longer shows the "missing" or "late" sensor notes that older versions of the app recorded.
If you run in miles, more of Jaksa now uses them. The page picker offers "This mile", and the splits and treadmill pages are described in miles and mph. Home shows a workout's size as "5 mi" on your phone and on your Apple Watch before a run. The follow bell offers "Each mile and halfway" in the app and on jaksa.run, and "Make it easy" gives a whole number of miles such as "Easy 3 mi".
Your coach now speaks in your units throughout. That covers your goal at the start, reminders such as "Reminder set: at 3 miles", the treadmill's top speed, the weak GPS warning and your workout's live numbers. A very short distance is given in feet rather than "0 miles", and a reminder you set before switching units is said again in the new ones. A planned step's belt speed and the belt reading on the devices card show mph, and the distance in your Strava title and note is in your units.
Weather from an AI assistant you connect now gives degrees Fahrenheit and mph beside the metric figures.

Your coach says each split's time once and keeps it consistent

At your first split your coach now says the time once, for example "One mile, 18:18". Before, it could say the same time three times. At later splits it no longer repeats the newest split's time either.
A split no longer comes with a current pace that can contradict the split's own time. If you have asked for pace on your splits, your coach adds it as "right now you're at"; otherwise it tells you how your heart rate fits the split's time.
When a split is announced late, for example after a lost connection, your coach now tells you your whole time as well. Before, it could call that split's time your whole time even though you had run on since.
On the quiet setting, if you have left the split's time and pace out of your announcements, you still hear the weak GPS warning. Before, the warning was dropped along with them.
On the chatty setting, the regular time and pace updates that fall at the same moment as a split are no longer said beside it, so you do not hear your time twice. If you have turned split announcements off, those updates are still said.

Build 404 · 29 October 2026

Your phone counts squats and push-ups and taps with each rep

In a gym workout your phone now counts your squats, push-ups and leg press, the way your Apple Watch counts curls, and gives a light tap with each rep. Those exercises say "Your phone counts these with you", and your coach numbers and says the reps just as it does the watch's.
The taps follow one switch, "Tap with each rep", which is on unless you turn it off. You find it in Settings under Workouts and on jaksa.run, you can ask your coach to change it, and it is the same switch as on your Apple Watch, where a press on the rep count turns it on or off.
When your coach offers you a new plan, the draft in the Plan tab and on jaksa.run now shows each gym day's line and each week's gym dose, where before the doses were blank. A workout of your own on the same day, which the plan leaves in place, now counts in that line, so the line no longer changes once you keep the plan, and an AI assistant you connect sees the same.
If you run in miles, the "This km" page is now called "This mile" on the page header, the buttons beside a map page's dots, the page editor and your Apple Watch. Switch back to kilometres and it says "This km" again.
Photos now really zoom, in the app and on jaksa.run. On a phone you pinch, drag or double tap; on a computer you click, scroll or pinch on the trackpad and drag to move around. Pulling a photo down closes the viewer again, a short pull springs back, and a click on a photo on jaksa.run no longer closes it.
On Android, a voice message from someone following your run now keeps your music lowered or paused for the whole message, the same as for your coach. Before, the music came back up as soon as the "Voice message from" announcement ended.

Build 403 · 29 October 2026

Every gym set is now kept with its weight

During a gym workout you can tell your coach the weight before a set and the reps after it, in kilos or pounds. It keeps them in your diary and tells you how you compare, for example "5 at 28 kilos, up from 6 at 26". Saying "done, five" ends the set and keeps the five reps in one answer, and when the workout is saved every set you did is kept with its weight and with the reps your watch counted if you did not say them.
Your next gym session starts from the weights in your diary and goes up a step when your sets show you are ready. At the first set of an exercise your coach checks the weight with you, for example "28 kilos?", and a yes keeps it. If you give a different weight, such as "no, thirty", your later sets of that exercise move by the same amount, where before they stayed at the planned weight.
On the gym screen the step card now shows each set's weight with its reps and roughly how long it takes, the Next row shows the weight of the next set, and the Sets card shows weight times reps. On jaksa.run you can correct a set with a click, and a drop set has its own button.
You can ask the in-app chat or an AI assistant you connect about your gym history, a workout's sets and your best lifts, and have it add, correct or remove sets or bring in sets you did before. Your gym diary is deleted along with your account.
Your coach now knows which microphone is hearing you (your watch, your earbuds or your phone) and whether "Use my watch as the microphone" is on. Before, it could tell you it could not use your watch as the microphone while it was doing exactly that. It can tell you how to mute yourself right now, and if you ask it to change the setting the change applies from your next workout, while a change you make in Settings under Music applies straight away.

Build 402 · 29 October 2026

Every run shows its shape, and gym sessions get their own pages

Each run now shows its shape as one line of the planned pace: before you start, during the run and afterwards, in the app and on jaksa.run, and friends who follow the run see it too. If the target changes during the run the old line stays faintly visible, after a pause you see what you actually ran, and a run with no plan shows what you ran. On an interval page the live chart is now shorter, so the finish numbers stay above the Pause bar.
During a gym session the live pages are now your coach's page (exercise, set, reps or rest left, finish time), a This session page with every exercise and set, and a This exercise page with a demo that plays inside Jaksa, one line of how-to and today's sets. When an exercise you have not done before is swapped in, including a stand-in when a machine is taken, its demo comes up when you reach it and your coach tells you, and it is not called new again later in that workout.
When your coach asks whether you want to hear what was fixed, it now waits for your answer before saying anything else. Before, another line could start at the same moment and your yes was lost.
You can ask your coach to gather everything you asked for during a workout. It reads the list back to you numbered and, when you say yes, passes it on as one suggestion, including things it had already noted. Before, it said it could not.
If a heart rate strap, footpod or Polar sensor stays connected but stops sending some of its data during a run, Jaksa now gets that data coming again. Before, it could stay missing for the rest of the run.
When your watch or AirPods open a workout with an old heart rate left over from before, that reading no longer counts in your maximum, average, zones or what goes to Strava and Apple Health. The same applies when a sensor comes back after a gap mid-run, and earlier workouts affected by this are corrected.

Build 401 · 28 October 2026

Coach off says so, and back on it reads the kilometres you missed

When you switch your coach off from the lock screen or your Apple Watch, it now says "Coach off" before going quiet. Before, one tap on the lock screen could silence it without a word. Switching it off on the run screen still turns it off quietly.
When you switch your coach back on, it now reads the splits you missed, for example "9.2 km. Kilometre 8 was 5:54, kilometre 9 was 6:04." Before, those kilometres were never said. If you changed units while it was off, it still tells you the kilometres you missed.
You can ask your coach "when did I mute myself" and it now tells you each time you muted yourself or switched the coach off and on. It gives the time in your workout and the time of day, and whether it was from your AirPods, the lock screen, the screen, your watch or the coach itself. Before, it gave the time your workout started and then said it had no record.
This also works when your coach is with you on a phone call. If the app had to pick a workout back up, your coach says it cannot tell what happened before that.

Build 400 · 28 October 2026

Moving a workout onto a busy day now swaps the two

When you move a workout to a day that already has one, whether you ask your coach, use an AI assistant you connect or do it in the app, the two now swap and the workout that was there goes to the day you just left open. Your coach tells you both changes and the app shows them under the move, for example "Long 11 km is now on Thursday; Easy 6 km, which was there, moved to Wednesday".
A race, a workout set for a particular time or one you have shared is never moved out of the way. If the day you left is already past or still holds a workout of its own, both workouts stay on the new day and you are told so. A gym day next to a run does not count as being in the way.
You can still ask to keep both workouts on the same day. When a key run moves in a swap, the leg day in the gym that goes with it moves too.
"Make it easy" moves today's hard workout to another day so you can run easy today. If the day you pick holds an easy run or walk, that becomes today's easy run instead of a second one. If it holds anything harder, both stay on that day, so today is never handed a hard workout back.

Build 399 · 28 October 2026

Your own songs at your step rate on Apple Music and Spotify

When your coach takes you through a cadence ladder while your own Apple Music or Spotify is playing, it now asks once whether to use your songs and then plays songs of yours close to each step's beat. Before, the music went quiet for the ladder.
You can ask your coach for songs by a particular artist at your cadence. On Apple Music it plays that artist's songs that fit your step rate, nearest the beat first, as a queue, and Spotify works the same way. An AI assistant you connect can ask for this too.
Apple Music songs can now be matched to your step rate as well as Spotify songs. If some of your songs are still being looked up, your coach says so instead of telling you none of them fit.
If you say no or tell your coach to turn the songs off, set your own cadence goal, start a beat or press Stop while songs are being found, nothing starts playing. Anything that had already begun on Apple Music is paused straight away.
Your yes or no to playing your own songs now counts for the current workout only, and the next workout asks again.

Build 398 · 28 October 2026

Gym days in your plan, one Sensors button and friend messages

Gym days now sit inside your running plan and show as Gym on the Plan tab and on jaksa.run, never as Run. Leg days are kept off the day before a long run or a hard session and away from race day, each gym day says why it is there, and its dose follows your training phase, with fewer sets in the taper and upper body only in race week.
The row of sensor icons at the top of a workout is now one Sensors button that shows how many are in use and turns red when one is lost. Tapping it shows each sensor, where it is worn, what it gives you, its reading now, and where in the run one was lost. The same button is on the live page on jaksa.run.
Your coach no longer asks about sensors you left at home or asks you for a hard effort to tell two heart rate straps apart. If a sensor drops during a workout, your coach tells you once what that means for you and tells you again when it is back, and a footpod left lying beside the treadmill is set aside without a word.
You can ask your coach to pass a message to a friend, whatever they are doing. It is read out if they are on a workout they share with you; otherwise it reaches them as a notification and waits in a conversation with you in the app, and they reply by telling their coach what to say back.
Your coach now talks over your music instead of stopping it, and if the music stops anyway, Jaksa starts it playing again for you. A new "Double-tap strap to mute" switch in Settings under Workouts and on jaksa.run stops a knocked chest strap from muting your coach, and you can also ask your coach to turn it off.
A treadmill workout where the treadmill itself reported your speed now counts toward your training paces and race estimate, while records stay outdoor only. If you end a workout while your coach is reconnecting, the finished screen now says so, and a question you ask then still gets its answer.

Build 397 · 28 October 2026

Your coach counts your gym reps out loud with you

In a Gym workout with your Apple Watch, your coach now says each rep number out loud as your watch counts it, in your coach's own voice and language. Nothing is counted during rests, while the workout is paused, during a run, or while your coach has stepped away for your music.
Each set keeps its rep count, shown on the sets card in the app and on jaksa.run, and an AI assistant you connect can see it too. If you go back to an earlier set, the count carries on from where that set left off.
Before and after a workout, and in the chat by voice or by typing, you can now ask your coach to make it louder or quieter. Your coach changes the volume and tells you the level it reached, as it already did during a workout.
Pressing Start on your Apple Watch in the middle of a workout no longer ends the workout; it carries on. If Jaksa on your watch stops recording, for example because you opened Apple's Workout app, your phone keeps recording the workout and shows one notice on the lock screen, where before the workout could end after a couple of minutes.
When you tap Start on the home screen and your paired Apple Watch does not have Jaksa on it, a sheet now tells you where to add it, with buttons to open the Watch app or to start anyway. Before, you only found out from your coach once the workout had begun.

Build 396 · 28 October 2026

Your coach tells you when to count your gym reps out loud

In a Gym workout, your coach now tells you at the first set of each exercise whether your Apple Watch is counting the reps with you or whether you should count out loud so your coach knows where you are. It says this once per exercise, including when your coach moves you on to a different exercise.
If this changes partway through an exercise, for example because your watch is no longer connected, your coach tells you at the next set to count out loud.
Your coach says your watch is counting only when you started the workout as a Gym workout on your Apple Watch. If a gym session is added in the middle of a run, your coach asks you to count out loud.

Build 395 · 28 October 2026

Kudos, follow and switches respond the moment you tap

Kudos, comment likes, Follow, the mute bell, a workout's kind, shoes, the private switch and the switches in Settings now change the moment you tap them, in the app and on jaksa.run, with no spinner. If you tap the same control several times quickly, the last choice you made is the one that stays.
Giving kudos updates the count straight away. Approving or declining a follow request removes it from the list at once and brings it back only if it could not be saved.
If a tap cannot be saved, the control shows what is actually saved and a short line tells you. Before, a failed tap could leave a control showing the wrong state, for example a private profile shown as public or a follow the wrong way round.
If turning notifications back on with the mute bell fails, the message now says "Turning them back on didn't go through". Before, it wrongly talked about muting.
In Settings, two switches changed one after the other now both keep the place you set. Before, one of them could jump back.
When your Apple Watch records the workout and your phone is locked, the distance on your phone no longer stands still for minutes at a time. Jaksa now fills in the distance for those minutes and does not add any distance from while the run was paused.

Build 394 · 28 October 2026

Your Apple Watch as the microphone, and Start goes straight to 3

Tapping Start now shows the countdown at once, with no spinner on the button. If the start fails, the countdown stops and a short message tells you, and if Jaksa finds a workout that was cut off, you go straight back into it, as before.
With "Use my watch as the microphone" turned on in the app or on jaksa.run, and your workout running in the Jaksa watch app, your coach hears you through your Apple Watch while your earbuds keep playing music. An AI assistant you connect can also turn this setting on or off for you.
If your Apple Watch workout starts again in the middle of a run, Jaksa now carries on from the distance already shown and adds what you run after. Before, it stopped following the watch and the saved run could come out short.
When your heart rate zones are only estimated because you have not set your maximum heart rate, your coach now warns you about a zone only if you asked for that warning. The first time it would have warned you about a hard zone, it says once that your zones are an estimate and offers to set your maximum by voice or to warn you by the estimated zones anyway.
A Gym workout on your Apple Watch now counts your reps on your wrist, shows the count on a gym page and sends each rep to your phone straight away. Your watch taps your wrist through each rep. Press the rep count to turn the taps off. The workout is saved in Apple Health as strength training.

Build 393 · 28 October 2026

Your coach keeps up when it changes your plan

When you talk with your coach at home and it changes your plan, for example moving today's long run to tomorrow, your next question now gets an answer based on the new plan. Before, your coach could still tell you the run was today right after moving it.
In the app, today's workout card and the week strip now change while you are still talking with your coach, so you see the new plan straight away.
On jaksa.run, My plan now updates after your coach changes something, and stays on the month and day you had picked.
On My plan, a change from your coach that arrives while the page is updating is no longer missed. Steps you are editing in a workout are no longer overwritten while the page updates.
A workout you have deleted no longer comes back on My plan. When a plan is removed, its workout card goes with it.

Build 392 · 28 October 2026

Rename a workout yourself in the app and on jaksa.run

You can now rename a workout yourself from its page. In the app, tap the name or its pencil; on jaksa.run, click the name or Rename. The name opens in a box with Save and Cancel. Before, you had to ask your coach to change it.
A name you choose stays yours. Jaksa will not replace it with a name of its own later, and the new name also shows in your list of workouts.
If the workout is on Strava, your new name is sent there too, and the page tells you under the name how Strava took it.
Save stays unavailable while the name you typed cannot be used. If a name is refused, the message now says it is the workout's name that could not be saved.

Build 391 · 28 October 2026

Strava exports too big for the chat now go to Workouts from files

When you send a Strava export or workout file that is too big for the chat, its note now says the file went to "Workouts from files" and that you can follow its progress there. It no longer shows a red failure.
That note also tells you where to find "Workouts from files": Settings, then Connections in the app, and My workouts on jaksa.run.
Before, a file too big for the chat came with advice to unzip the archive and send one file from inside it. That advice is gone, because the workouts in your export come in through "Workouts from files" without any extra steps.
Your coach no longer says a Strava export cannot become Jaksa workouts. It now tells you a big export needs nothing more from you, and it only counts on those workouts once they appear in your runs.

Your coach notices sooner when you leave the track

In track mode, your coach now tells you sooner that you have left the track once you head off it. Before, it could take noticeably longer to say so.
Your coach no longer says you have left the track while you are still running in your lane, even where location is less precise.

Tell your coach a machine is taken and it reworks your session

In a gym session, you can now tell your coach that the bench, a rack or a machine you need is taken. Your coach rearranges the rest of your session, either bringing another exercise forward or swapping in a stand-in with the same sets, reps and rest, and tells you what changed.
A changed exercise now shows why in your plan, in the app and on jaksa.run, for example "instead of bench press, bench taken".
If you also say how many minutes you have left, your coach trims the smaller exercises at the end to fit and keeps your main lifts.
A superset stays together when your session is rearranged, and sets you have already done stay marked as done, even after more than one swap. If you are resting when you say something is taken, your rest carries on first.
A planned gym session your coach changes now stays on its own day. Before, it could move to today.

Build 386 · 27 October 2026

Every workout now says what you did and where

Before you start, under Something else, and during a workout, under This workout, you now choose what you are doing (Run or Walk) and where (Outdoors or Treadmill) separately. You can pick a treadmill walk before you start. Before, you could only switch to one once the workout was under way.
Workouts in your history and feed, in the app and on jaksa.run, now carry a tag saying what and where: Walk, Treadmill, Treadmill walk, Gym or Track.
A workout you have not named is now titled by what you did and where, such as "Evening gym session" or "Morning treadmill walk", on the workout page, the finish screen, your history and recently deleted. Before, a treadmill workout or a gym session could be called "Morning run" or "Evening run".
Your records, fitness and route numbers now count only runs outdoors and on a track, so a gym session no longer slips into them.
When your coach's note talks about your longest run, it now compares track runs and outdoor runs together. A 5 km track run is no longer called your longest ever when you have run 20 km outdoors.
An AI assistant you connect can now see where each workout was done and look up your workouts by place.

Build 385 · 27 October 2026

Gym sets now end when you finish, not when a timer runs out

In a gym session, a set no longer ends when its timer runs out. It ends when you tell your coach you are done or tap Set done, and your rest ends when you say you are ready for the next set or tap Start set.
When your planned rest is up, your coach tells you your next set, and the step card keeps counting in orange so you can see how far over you are. If a set goes on much longer than planned, your coach asks whether you have finished.
Gym sessions now show an expected finish time, which moves later if you take a longer rest.
Once you have done a programme's sessions a few times, the planned set times follow how long your own sets usually take.
The gym step card has a shorter button and a smaller row showing what comes next.
Intervals and recoveries on a run still keep their timers as before.

Build 384 · 27 October 2026

Flat runs no longer show hills that were not there

On some phones with an unsteady altitude sensor, a flat run could show hundreds of metres of climbing, warnings about steep hills and a run name about hills. Your climb now matches the ground, on jaksa.run and in what your coach tells you during the run, including after you resume a workout.
Runs already affected by this now show the right climb, and their name and your coach's note have been written again to match.
A very brief drop in your connection during a run no longer makes your coach reconnect from scratch. Your coach carries on as before, and only a connection that stays lost ends the session.
When you ask your coach to cheer on a friend who has just started a run, your friend now gets one cheer. Before, the same cheer could reach them twice.

Build 383 · 27 October 2026

Your coach now connects your gym sessions and your runs

When you start a gym session that works your legs the day before a hard run, such as intervals, a tempo run, your long run or a race, your coach now reminds you to go light on your legs today. Before, your coach did not take the next day's run into account in the gym.
On a run soon after a leg day in the gym, your coach now knows about that session. If your legs feel heavy or the pace feels hard, it can tell you why, and otherwise it does not bring the gym up.
You can now ask your coach why you are lifting, or other questions about strength training beside running. It answers from a new page on what lifting does and does not do for runners, when to do it and how much, and an AI assistant you connect can read the same page.

Build 382 · 27 October 2026

Your coach now takes a moment on hard questions instead of guessing

When you ask your coach a hard question during a workout, such as one about training science, and the answer needs more thought, your coach now says it needs a moment and gives you the full answer a little later, starting with what you asked. Before, a slow answer could be replaced by a quick guess.
If that later answer cannot be found, your coach now tells you so instead of leaving your question unanswered.
Answers to these harder questions also come a little sooner than before.

Build 381 · 27 October 2026

Guests on your follow page can now send voice messages

Guests on your follow page on jaksa.run can now send you a voice message, not only a typed cheer. They get the same round button as signed-in followers: record, listen back, then send. Your coach plays it to you during your run, with the guest's name if they gave one.
A heart-rate alert now speaks again when your heart rate hovers at the line for a while and then goes back over it. Before, it could stay silent until your heart rate had dropped clearly below the line first.
When you unmute your coach, it now knows straight away that it can hear you again. Before, it could answer "still muted" when you asked whether it heard you.

Build 380 · 27 October 2026

Your coach now asks one yes-or-no question at a time

Your coach now asks only one yes-or-no question at a time: whether you are on a treadmill, whether the workout should stop at its goal, or whether you want the step beat. Before, it could ask a second question before you had answered the first, and your answer went to the wrong one.
A question your coach did not get to ask at the right moment is no longer asked later, out of place. Your coach also no longer offers the step beat once it is already playing.
A phone call during a workout no longer mixes up your coach's questions. Before, the offer of the step beat could stop coming after a call.

Build 379 · 27 October 2026

Problems you report during a workout are now noted for afterwards

When you report a problem or pass on feedback during a workout, by voice, in the app chat, on jaksa.run or through an AI assistant you connect, your coach now tells you it is noted for after the workout. Each of these notes is kept with that workout and looked at once the workout is over, so none of them gets lost.

Build 378 · 27 October 2026

Your coach no longer announces every heart rate dropout

When your watch or chest strap drops out for a moment and comes back, your coach no longer says so. Before, it could repeat "your watch stopped sending" and "your watch is back" again and again during a run. If a sensor stays lost while you keep moving, your coach still tells you, as it may have fallen off.
The notice on screen about your watch's heart rate now appears only when the watch has sent no heart rate at all during the workout, not each time it briefly drops out.
In a workout that steers by heart rate, such as a step with a heart-rate target or a heart-rate alarm, your coach now tells you once if heart rate stops coming through altogether, and what it goes by instead.
On iPhone, when you mute your coach with your AirPods, pressing them again now unmutes it. Before, the press could stop working until you unmuted on the phone. Muting now only stops your coach hearing you, so the step beat keeps playing while you are muted.

Build 377 · 27 October 2026

Your coach now asks before starting the step beat

Before the step beat starts, your coach now asks whether you want it and remembers your yes or no, so it asks only once. Saying "not today", stopping the beat or having your coach pause your music turns it off for the rest of that workout, and a cadence goal you set during a workout takes over from it. Your coach now calls it the step beat, never "cadence ladder" or "head coach".
Step lengths, power or pace that no runner could reach are no longer shown as fact on your workout pages, on the Effort card, by your coach or to an AI assistant you connect. Where a number is held back, Jaksa says why.
On a treadmill, speeds you tell your coach no longer show up as impossible power or as intervals you never ran, and the parts of a workout no longer gain distance while you are paused. Your earlier workouts are sorted again into their kind and parts, so past made-up intervals go away.
A workout is now matched only to a planned session of the same kind. Before, an easy run could be tied to another day's intervals, and a workout linked at the start to an easy run or walk could also count as another day's key session.
When the connection between your Apple Watch and iPhone slows down during a workout, the watch now loses touch with the phone far less often and your heart rate keeps coming through. A Polar sensor left on its charger no longer makes Jaksa try to reconnect to it over and over.
You can now cheer a runner you follow when their workout is shared with followers.

Build 376 · 27 October 2026

Followers now see an animation for treadmill and gym workouts

When friends follow a treadmill or gym workout live, on jaksa.run or in the app, they now see a small animation instead of a map: a runner on a moving belt for a treadmill, or a figure lifting dumbbells for a strength session, with the current set when Jaksa knows it. Outdoor workouts keep the map, and the animation stands still while the workout is paused.
An AI assistant you connect now knows whether a workout is outdoors, on a treadmill or in the gym, so it no longer offers a map of an indoor one.
When a followed workout changes from gym to outdoors, the map now shows the route in the right place straight away. Before, the line could sit in the wrong spot until the window was resized.
If your watch's heart rate reads about double your real one, Jaksa no longer uses those readings, and they no longer end up in the saved workout or set its maximum. If your AirPods measure heart rate, Jaksa can use them instead. With nothing else to go on, your coach tells you once that the watch's heart rate looks doubled instead of going quiet.
On a treadmill, a footpod stuck at zero no longer freezes your distance and pace or wipes out a speed you told your coach. Jaksa now carries on from your other sensors or from the speeds and distances you say, and your coach tells you once that the footpod reads zero and what your distance now goes by.

Build 375 · 27 October 2026

Your coach now explains how your chest strap mutes it

The first time a double tap on your chest strap mutes your coach, it now tells you so and how to undo it: "Muted. A double tap on your chest strap mutes me. Double-tap it again to unmute." After that, it names the strap when it mutes.
Your coach no longer guesses why your strap muted it. Before, it could tell you that your own running steps had muted it, when nothing could know what had touched the strap.
The sensors page of the Jaksa guide now explains how a double tap on your chest strap mutes and unmutes your coach.

Build 374 · 27 October 2026

After a gym workout your coach no longer says the run is over

When you stop a gym workout, your coach now says the workout is over. It also says "workout" when it tells you it went to Strava or mentions notes you made along the way. Before, it said "run" whatever you had been doing.
The summary of a strength session now calls it a strength workout and gives only its time, without distance, pace or splits. Walks and runs keep their own names.

Build 373 · 27 October 2026

Your coach now knows your height, age and sex during a workout

During a workout your coach now knows your height, age and sex, including a height Jaksa kept from Apple Health. Before, you had to tell the coach your height mid-workout even when Jaksa already had it.
If you tell your coach your height during a workout, in the app or on a call, it now keeps it as your own word and says it back in the unit you used.
When you chat with your coach, or ask an AI assistant you connect, they can now see your height and birth date too.
In your body details, "rather not say" for sex now still shows when your birth date is kept, and your sex now shows where it came from.

Build 372 · 27 October 2026

A paused Garmin no longer ends your workout while you run

If your Garmin is paused or loses its connection during a run, Jaksa now keeps your workout going while you are still moving. Before, a quiet watch could end the whole workout early, even mid-run.
When you finish a workout with a Garmin on a treadmill or in a gym, its end now matches when you actually stopped. Before, the workout could run on for a while after you had finished.

Build 371 · 27 October 2026

Voice cheers, and start trims you agree to are now kept

When you cheer a runner, the cheer box now has two buttons side by side. The mic inside the box turns your words into text, and a round button where Send stands records a voice message that you can listen back to before you send it.
On jaksa.run, signed-in followers can also dictate a cheer or send a voice cheer, in Chrome and Safari.
The person who sent a voice cheer and the runner who received it can both play it again later. Once a share has been stopped, its voice cheers no longer play.
If you agree during a workout to trim its start, the trim is now made when you stop. Before, on workouts started on the iPhone, it was refused at the end as if the workout had changed.

Build 370 · 27 October 2026

Your coach's read of each workout now arrives

After a workout Jaksa recorded, your coach now writes its read of how it went, and the notification takes you to it. Since the previous build, new workouts were not getting their read at all.

Build 369 · 27 October 2026

Your coach now writes its read of each workout you record

After a workout Jaksa recorded, your coach writes its read of how it went. You find it on the workout's page in the app and on jaksa.run.
When the read is ready, a notification takes you straight to the workout, and the read is marked New until you have seen it.
A "Talk it over" button opens a chat about that workout with your coach, starting from its read, so you can ask questions or add how it felt. Each workout has one such chat, and you return to it each time.
If you later correct a workout, for example its distance, a trim or the kind of workout, your coach writes its read again with the change in mind.
The read and its chat come with the subscription. Without it, you see the first line of the read and an option to subscribe.
An AI assistant you connect can also show you your coach's read of a workout and open its chat.

Build 368 · 27 October 2026

Nearest music style for new requests, and a simpler Strava window

When you ask for a music style Jaksa does not have yet, your coach now plays the nearest style it has and tells you so. Before, your coach said the new style would be added over the next few days.
In Jaksa for Strava, each workout in the list now shows its own route, so you can tell your runs apart at a glance.
Jaksa for Strava now has one Sync button in place of the separate Post and Add buttons, and its toolbar icon is bolder and easier to spot.

Build 367 · 27 October 2026

Behind-the-scenes work, nothing new to see

This build has no changes you can see or use in the app or on jaksa.run. Your runs and your coach work as they did in the previous build.

Build 366 · 26 October 2026

Full-quality music on other headphones, with a coach who rings you

On an iPhone with Bluetooth headphones that are not AirPods or Beats, your coach can now step out so your music plays at full quality, and ring you when it needs you. Before, music on these headphones could sound worse while your coach was with you.
Your coach offers this during a workout when you are listening to music on such headphones. You can turn it on or off later in Settings or on jaksa.run.
While your coach is away, it still tells you your kilometres, heart rate zones, turns and cheers over your music, and recordings from people who follow you still play. The first thing it says tells you how to call it.
When your coach has a question or something longer to say, your phone rings with Jaksa's own ring, and you answer it like any call. If you do not answer, what can wait is said over your music, and a question rings once more.
To call your coach yourself, press Mute on your heart rate strap, your Apple Watch or your lock screen. Hang up or tap Mute on the call screen, and your coach steps out again.

Build 365 · 26 October 2026

Choose what your music does while your coach talks, on Android

On an Android phone, your music now comes back at full quality when you mute your coach. Before, it could stay stopped after a mute.
On Android, Settings, Music has a new choice under "While the coach talks": your music can be lowered or paused for each thing your coach says while you are muted, or set to "Never stop it" so it keeps playing.
You can make the same choice on jaksa.run under "Music while the coach talks", by telling your coach, or through an AI assistant you connect. A choice you tell your coach during a run applies straight away in that run, even with your phone locked.
On iPhone nothing changes: your music keeps playing under your coach as before.

Build 364 · 26 October 2026

Add photos and videos to your Strava runs, and treadmills found

If Jaksa already sends your runs to Strava, jaksa.run now offers "Add photos and videos to Strava" for a run, and your pictures go onto the activity Jaksa made there. Before, Jaksa turned this down. The activity's title and description stay as they are, and adding the same pictures again does not put them there twice.
The guide to installing Jaksa for Strava in your browser is now at jaksa.run/extension.
If you found your treadmill in Settings and then started a treadmill run, Jaksa now finds the treadmill for your run too. Before, the run's search could find nothing, even though Settings had just found it.

Build 363 · 26 October 2026

On a treadmill your pace now holds steady at the belt's speed

On a treadmill, the pace on your phone, your lock screen and your Apple Watch is now the belt's own pace, and it holds still while the belt keeps one speed. Before, the pace could jump about, and your watch could show a pace slower than the belt.
On your Apple Watch, the "This km" and split pages now follow the belt's pace on a treadmill, so a split's pace no longer wobbles. Before, if your watch lost touch with your phone for a moment or joined midway, "This km" could stop counting for a while, and the next splits closed much too slow or too fast.

Build 362 · 26 October 2026

Your coach no longer judges your effort on guessed zones

If Jaksa has only guessed your maximum heart rate, your coach no longer judges your effort by heart-rate zones. It does not tell you that you are above easy, name your zone or say your heart rate is drifting. Before, a heart rate that is normal for your easy runs could count as a hard zone, and your coach corrected you all run.
While your zones are a guess, the heart-rate band on the run screen says "ZONES A GUESS" and has no zone colour. The zones card says your zones are a guess and how to set your own.
While your zones are a guess, the lock screen and your Apple Watch show no zone, and your watch gives no zone 5 alert. The summary after you stop leaves out time in zones, and alerts you set on a heart-rate zone do not go off.
Your run's title and note now compare your effort with your usual runs instead of with guessed zones. An easy run is no longer titled as not quite easy because of them.
If you tell your coach a zone is wrong, it now offers to help you set your zones.

Build 361 · 26 October 2026

Your coach now tells you how long is left of your whole workout

When you ask how long is left, your coach now answers for the whole workout ahead: the steps still to come, any treadmill speed ramp you set and the goal that ends it. Before, it answered at your current pace. The step card now has a row for your speed ramp and one for your finish, and the time-left and finish widgets show the same.
The live view of your run on jaksa.run now shows the workout you are running and when you will finish. People following you see what each part of your workout is and how long it lasts, but not your paces or ramp speeds.
If you set a treadmill speed ramp and add where it should stop a moment later, it now becomes one ramp. A ramp you set without a top speed is read back without one, and your coach mentions Jaksa's own speed limit only when your ramp will really reach it. The plan card shows that speed as Jaksa's limit, not as your target.
When your treadmill's belt stops or starts again, your coach now tells you that your workout clock and distance have stopped or are running again. Before, it could say the clock had kept running. Once you have taken over the treadmill's speed yourself in a workout, your coach no longer offers to run the speed for you.
If you mute your coach and press stop, for example on your Apple Watch with your phone locked, your coach no longer asks you questions it cannot hear you answer. It says it cannot hear you yet and that opening Jaksa fixes that, and asks about trimming your run or Strava once it can hear you or you unmute. During a workout, questions and offers also wait while you are muted.
If you run with an Apple Watch and no strap or foot pod that counts your steps, your coach now reads your cadence from the watch and can coach you on it, and the Form card shows it.

Build 360 · 26 October 2026

You can now change the steps of a workout while you run it

During a workout you can ask your coach to replace the steps you have left, for example three minutes to warm up and then seven at 4:20. Your phone switches to the new steps and keeps what you have already run. Before, your coach could announce new steps while your phone carried on with the old ones.
An AI assistant you connect can also change the steps of the workout you are running. If your coach suggests new steps itself, it still waits for your yes before changing them.
The live view of your run on jaksa.run now shows where you are in your workout's steps.
On the step card in the app, the pace band now has a key on one row at full reading size: your target pace beside the coloured swatch, and your current pace beside the tick. On a treadmill whose speed is known, the tick shows the belt's pace and holds steady.
Music you ask for, ask to keep on or ask to hear again now plays until you tell your coach to stop, and your coach mentions that it is one short loop going round. If you asked for it for a set time, it still fades when that time is up. Music your coach starts on its own still stops after a few minutes, and your coach now tells you that you can have it back.
Salsa is now one of the music styles your coach can play.

Build 359 · 26 October 2026

When your coach pauses your music, it now tells you to press play

If your own music stops as your coach comes on, your coach now tells you once, as it starts talking, that pressing play brings it back. This works whether you start a workout or talk to your coach from the home screen.
If you ask your coach why your music stopped, it now says it paused your music when it came on, and that you can press play on your headphones or in your music app. Before, it sent you to Settings to connect Apple Music or Spotify.
Your coach now mentions connecting a music app only as an extra that lets it press play for you. You do not need it to get your music back.
Once your music is playing again, your coach no longer says it paused your music if it stops later, for example when a playlist ends.

Build 358 · 26 October 2026

Your coach now tells you when a lost sensor is back

When your Apple Watch or heart rate strap stops sending during a workout, your coach no longer warns you about it once it is already back. Before, the warning could reach you after the sensor had returned.
If your coach has told you a sensor stopped sending, it now tells you once when it is connected again, and that the drop really happened. Before, nothing said it was back, and your coach could later agree the warning had been wrong.
If a sensor drops again just after coming back, your coach does not tell you it is back while it is still gone. It tells you once it really returns.

Build 357 · 26 October 2026

The free trial for a new subscription is now one week

A new subscription now starts with a one-week free trial instead of two months. Your three free coached workouts and the free first five minutes of every workout stay as they were.
Your coach, the Subscription page in the app and on jaksa.run, and an AI assistant you connect now all name the one-week trial. Before, the Subscription page said two months.
When your coach invites you to subscribe during the free five minutes, after your last free workout or at your last chance to subscribe, it now mentions the one-week trial too.
If you are already in a free trial, it carries on until the date it always had, even a two-month one. The Subscription page shows it as your free trial until that date.

Build 356 · 26 October 2026

Behind-the-scenes work, nothing new to see in the app

Nothing changes in the app or on jaksa.run in this build. It holds only work behind the scenes, so your runs and your coach work just as they did in the previous build.

Build 355 · 26 October 2026

Your coach for the first five minutes of every workout, free

Once your three free coached workouts are used, or your subscription has ended, your coach now talks with you for the first five minutes of every workout. Before, these workouts had only the numbers-only voice from the start.
At the start, your coach says it is in a limited mode and invites you to subscribe. It tells you before the five minutes are up, then carries on with your numbers only.
After the five minutes, you can still ask about your heart rate and where it comes from, your sensors and your pace, and get an answer. Anything else gets an offer to subscribe.
The free minutes are for workouts only. The coach's phone call and the voice chat at home still need a subscription.
The Subscription page in the app and on jaksa.run now lists the five free minutes on a row of their own, among what you get without paying.

Build 354 · 26 October 2026

Your coach offers to trim standing time, and finds songs by beat

If you stood still before setting off, your coach now asks during the workout whether to start it from your first steps. If you stood still before pressing stop, it asks after you stop, before its Strava question. Nothing is trimmed unless you say yes.
Only time spent standing still is offered for a cut, so a walked warm-up or cool-down stays part of your workout. If you say yes, the trimmed workout is the one that goes to Strava.
Your workout page in the app and on jaksa.run now shows the offer as one line with one button, so you can trim there instead of answering your coach.
You can now ask for the beat of a song by its name, as artist and title, or with a Spotify or Apple Music link, in the chat with your coach, on jaksa.run or through an AI assistant you connect. Before, this worked only for runners with Spotify.
The beat you get is for the song you named, not a tribute band or a different song with a longer title.
You can also ask for songs at your running beat by an artist or in a genre, each with its beat. With Spotify, Jaksa can save them as a playlist on your account or play them.

Build 353 · 26 October 2026

Trim standing time by voice, and your watch's VO2 max first

Your coach can now cut the time you spent standing still at the start or end of a workout, but only if you say yes. It first tells you what your distance, time and pace would become. You can ask it to undo the cut, and you can do all this after a run or in the voice chat at home.
If you agree to a trim during a workout, the trimmed run is the one that goes to Strava. Your splits and start point follow the cut.
Your VO2 max in the app and on jaksa.run now shows a lab test result if you have one, or else the recent estimate your watch saved in Apple Health. Before, Jaksa showed its own number, which could sit well below your watch's.
When neither a lab test nor a watch estimate is available, Jaksa shows its own VO2 max as a range, marked as a temporary estimate until it has enough of your runs with heart rate. Standing still at the start or end of a run no longer pulls that estimate down, and your coach may suggest a race, intervals or a threshold run to make it firmer.
Anyone who is not paying can now subscribe from Settings in the app, including runners who were given Jaksa free. Before, they saw "Nothing to pay" with no plans and no button. jaksa.run's Settings now has a Subscription link too, and if plans cannot be shown, the page says why.
If you join Jaksa from now on and never choose a Strava style, your posts use Funny. If your account is older, your posts keep the coach's voice until you choose a style yourself.

Build 352 · 26 October 2026

Choose how your Strava posts sound, and Jaksa now runs on iOS 18

You can now choose the style of the title and coach's note Jaksa posts to Strava: Coach as before, Funny, which tells the same true facts and achievements in a way meant to make your followers laugh, or your own words. Set it in the app under Settings, Strava, on jaksa.run, through an AI assistant you connect, or by telling your coach after you stop a workout, and it applies to every workout you start afterwards.
A coach's note on Strava no longer ends with a stray Jaksa signature.
When you wear more than one heart-rate sensor, such as an Apple Watch and a chest strap, Jaksa now uses the one it trusts most for you, rather than simply the first one that works. If the heart rate your coach hears moves to another sensor during a run, your coach tells you.
Your run page in the app and on jaksa.run now shows which sensors gave your heart rate, on a line of its own under the distance, and a name like Apple Watch no longer breaks across two lines.
Jaksa now installs on iPhones with iOS 18 or later. Before, it needed iOS 26. On iOS older than 26, your phone records the workout in Jaksa but not as an Apple Health workout, and if your Apple Watch records the run too, its workout now takes over and is saved in Apple Health instead of being thrown away.

Build 351 · 26 October 2026

Your music gets your earbuds back when your coach is off

If you switch your coach off during a workout, your music now plays through your earbuds at its usual sound quality. Before, it could keep sounding thin, like a phone call, until the workout ended.
When you switch your coach back on, its voice comes back in your earbuds, and the click beat keeps playing while your coach is off. Muting your coach works as before.
If Jaksa gets no heart rate from your Apple Watch, it now tells you where to install the watch app. For a test build, that is Jaksa's App Details in the app you installed the test build from, because test builds never appear in the Watch app's Available Apps. For other builds it is the Watch app.
A watch that is new enough but still on watchOS 9 is now told to update. Before, Jaksa said it was too old.
The in-app guide and the jaksa.run home page now say which watches work with Jaksa: Apple Watch Series 4 or newer, any SE or Ultra, on watchOS 10 or later.

Build 350 · 26 October 2026

No changes you will notice in this build

This build has no changes you can see or use, in the app or on jaksa.run. Your coach, your runs and your settings work just as they did in the previous build.

Build 349 · 26 October 2026

Your coach now comes back if it stops during a run

If your coach loses its connection and goes quiet during a run, it now comes back on its own while you keep running, even with Jaksa in the background. Before, it could stay silent until the end of your run.
If your coach has stopped, turning it back on with its switch now reconnects it, just as opening Jaksa does. Before, the switch only muted and unmuted it, and your coach stayed silent.
While your workout is paused, a coach that has stopped waits, and it comes back once you carry on with your workout.

Build 348 · 26 October 2026

A new runner's coach now starts at the Normal talk level

If you are new to Jaksa, your coach now starts at Normal, the level between Quiet and Chatty. Before, a new runner's coach started on Quiet. Ask your coach to talk less and it goes to Quiet; ask for more and it goes to Chatty.
If you already chose a talk level, you keep it, whether that is Quiet, Normal or Chatty.
If you start a workout with no signal, your coach now uses the talk level you last chose, including one you changed just before. Before, it could start at a different level from the one you had set.

Build 347 · 26 October 2026

Workouts you carry on after ending are now kept in full

If you end a workout and then carry on with it, the part you run after carrying on is now kept and sent with your run, even while the first part is still being sent. Before, the carried-on part could fail to save and be missing from your run.

Build 346 · 26 October 2026

Your first 3 workouts now come with the talking coach

If you have never had a Jaksa subscription, your first 3 workouts now come with the talking coach, with no sign-up or trial needed. Before, you had to start a trial before you could hear your coach at all.
During those 3 workouts you get your coach's voice and your coach's phone call. A workout you run on your Apple Watch alone and answer your coach's call during counts as one of them.
The Subscription page in the app and on jaksa.run shows how many coached workouts you have left, for example "2 of 3 coached workouts left".
After your last free coached workout, your coach tells you so when you stop, or the app shows it. Offers to subscribe after a workout now wait until all 3 are used.
The head coach, training plans, dashboards and the coach at home still need a subscription.
If Jaksa has no room left to connect another runner to Strava, Jaksa now tells you before sending you to Strava. Before, Strava could refuse you on its own page.

Build 345 · 26 October 2026

Finished runs are kept and sent again after a dropped connection

If the connection drops while Jaksa is sending a finished run, your iPhone now keeps the run and sends it again later, just as it does when you have no signal.

Build 344 · 26 October 2026

No heart rate now points to your Apple Watch, not a strap

If you wear an Apple Watch that does not have Jaksa on it and your run has no heart rate, your coach and the run screen now tell you to install Jaksa on the watch from the Watch app on your iPhone. Before, they told you to check a heart rate strap you might not own.
If Jaksa is on your watch but did not start, the message now says that instead.
Advice to check a heart rate strap now only comes when you chose a strap or have used one with Jaksa before.
If Jaksa on your watch starts a little later and your heart rate comes through, the no heart rate message now goes away. Before, it could stay even though your heart rate was arriving.
The watch message on the run screen is now shorter.

Build 343 · 26 October 2026

Behind-the-scenes changes only

Nothing you can see or do in the app or on jaksa.run changes in this build. Your coach, your runs and your plan work as they did before.

Build 342 · 26 October 2026

The waiting sound no longer plays over your music

While you play music during a run, Jaksa's waiting sound now stays quiet. Before, it played on top of your music.
Once your music stops, the waiting sound comes back as usual. Your coach still speaks to you over your music as before.
On jaksa.run, the Try again button on a plan that was not written now works. Before, it could fail to start writing your plan.

Build 341 · 26 October 2026

A plan that could not be written now says so, with Try again

If Jaksa could not finish writing your training plan, the chat, the Plan card in the app and your plan on jaksa.run now say your plan wasn't written and offer a Try again button. Before, they could keep saying your plan was being written for days while nothing was happening.
Tapping Try again starts writing your plan again straight away. If your coach is busy at that moment, the button stays on screen so you can tap it again.
In later chats your coach no longer tells you your plan is on its way when it was not written.
An AI assistant you connect now sees when your plan was not written and can ask Jaksa to write it again, just like the Try again button.

Build 340 · 26 October 2026

Your coach hears you again sooner after you unmute

When you unmute during a run with earbuds in, your coach can now hear you again almost straight away, even while your earbuds are still switching over from music.
Before, the microphone could sometimes stay off for several moments after you unmuted, so the first thing you said could be missed.

Build 339 · 25 October 2026

Nothing new to see in this build

This build changes nothing you can see or use in the app or on jaksa.run. Your coach, your runs and your goals all work as they did in the previous build.

Build 338 · 25 October 2026

Apple Health now explains why Jaksa asks for each item

When Apple Health asks you to let Jaksa read your data, it now says what each item is for. Heart rate, distance, running form, steps, fitness and past workouts help your coach, while height, weight, birth date and sex let Jaksa compare your times fairly across ages and check whether your weight is in a healthy range.
Before, Apple Health could ask you for your height while giving only the old reason about heart rate and distance.

Build 337 · 25 October 2026

No changes you can see in this build

This build brings nothing new to see or use in the app or on jaksa.run. Your runs, your coach and your goals work just as they did before.

Build 336 · 25 October 2026

Your coach watches your form for an injury and notices health gains

Under Injuries & conditions in the app and on jaksa.run, each injury or condition you list now shows the form numbers it affects, such as your step rate, how strong the evidence is, and where watching them stands. A switch lets you start or stop the watch at any time, and your height is shown there too.
When you add a condition that your running form can help with, your coach offers once, at the start of your next run, to watch those numbers for you. If you say yes, it starts guiding your cadence for it, and weeks later it tells you once when your numbers have clearly improved.
Your coach now tells you when you are getting healthier, even without a goal race: when your fitness rises, when your resting heart rate from Apple Health falls, and, if you have no weight goal, when your weight moves toward a healthy range, said in kilos. You hear each piece of news only once, and if you ask how it knows, your coach answers with the numbers behind it.
The Your goals block in the app and on jaksa.run now has Fitness, Resting heart rate and Weight rows. Jaksa takes your height from Apple Health, which may ask you once to allow it, or your coach asks for it once while planning with you, never during a run.
To delete your account in the app or on jaksa.run, you now type "delete my account" in a box, and the delete button stays off until the words match. Before, one tap on a confirmation was enough, and in the app the keyboard no longer covers the box.
An AI assistant you connect can only delete your account once you have typed those words yourself. A plain yes is no longer enough.

Build 335 · 25 October 2026

Praise as you near a form goal, and laps on one line

When you are working toward a form goal, such as a step rate, your coach now tells you when you are getting closer, with where you are and where you are aiming. Before, you heard one line saying you were off and then nothing until you were back on it.
When you reach the goal after working toward it, your coach now says "that's it, you nailed it" instead of a flat "back on". The same now happens when your coach is guiding your cadence up a target at a time.
An AI assistant you connect can now see the minutes of your recent runs in which your coach praised your progress toward a form goal.
In the app and on jaksa.run, each lap of a track run now sits on one line. Lap and time stay in place while the other columns swipe sideways, where before each lap took two lines that did not line up with the columns.
Every number in the lap table now shows its unit, and a "swipe for more" hint with a fade at the edge shows while more columns are off to the right.

Build 334 · 25 October 2026

A new Power and form block on jaksa.run

On jaksa.run, a new Power and form block can show a run kilometre by kilometre: your pace, watts, ground contact time and bounce.
Each column in the block comes from one device, named in the block, such as your Stryd footpod. Numbers from different devices are never mixed in one column.
Power recorded while your run is paused is left out of the block. If you wear two footpods with the same name, Jaksa keeps them apart.

Build 333 · 25 October 2026

No changes you can see in this build

This build has no changes you can see or use in the app or on jaksa.run. Your runs, coach and settings work just as they did in the previous build.

Build 332 · 25 October 2026

Steadier distance when your location arrives late

When your phone's location updates arrive late and in bursts, your distance now keeps counting steadily. Before, it could stand still for up to half a minute and then jump ahead all at once.
When the location catches up, your distance now settles in gently instead of leaping forward, and a distance you have already seen is never taken back.
Your saved route, splits and climb now line up in time with the distance you saw during the run. If you go back into a workout after the app closed, it picks up from the distance that was on your screen.

Build 331 · 25 October 2026

Closer to your goals, steps on time and pausing the beat

Jaksa now keeps three levels of goal: today's planned workouts, your season's goal race, and a weight you want to reach. When you are truly closer to your goal race or your weight, your coach tells you once, with your numbers, at the start of a workout or in the summing-up after STOP, and stays quiet when the progress is not yet clear.
You can set a weight goal and ask how you are doing on your goals through an AI assistant you connect. On jaksa.run, a new Your goals block shows where you stand.
In a gym session, your coach's set, rest and rep lines now come as each step begins, even while you are counting reps aloud. Before, they could arrive late, after you stopped talking. Interval steps on a run now come on time the same way, and no step's line is said once the next step has begun.
When a step changes, your coach's other replies, such as Hold speed or a reply about your treadmill speed, are now still said instead of sometimes being dropped.
While Jaksa's beat is playing, saying pause the music or stop the music now stops the beat. Before, your coach said Paused while the beat kept going. Saying just pause still pauses your run.

Form goals, steadier track distance and fuller check-ins

You can now keep a form goal, such as Keep me at 170 steps a minute, and Jaksa remembers it for every workout instead of only that conversation. Set it by telling your coach during a workout, in the chat, through an AI assistant you connect, in Settings, Form goals, or under My workouts on jaksa.run. It can cover cadence, bounce, bounce per step, ground time or step length.
During a run your coach tells you, with your numbers, when you drift off a form goal, and again once you are back on it. You can ask how you are doing on it in this workout and over your last ones. Keep me at 170 now means at least 170, so quicker steps are fine, unless you say you want to stay around it.
When you step just off a track or leave it, your distance now keeps counting with you. Before, it could stand still and then jump all at once, which showed on Strava as a sudden burst of speed. A track whose name already says track, field or stadium is now said by its name alone, so no more Westlake High School Track track.
A lap check-in now also gives any figure you or your coach asked for each lap, such as cadence or heart rate, after the lap's time and pace, and no longer says the same lap twice. Each kilometre's check-in now gives that split's right time even when your coach has a lot to say at once. On a treadmill workout you went back into, your coach no longer states a time for a split it could not measure.
Start and your coach's button now sit in their own bar below each page, so nothing is hidden under them. With no workouts yet, Home welcomes you by name instead of showing 0 mi this week. Once you keep a plan, Crew shows its first workout as Next up, and an empty feed tells you to tap Start.
The plan chart's stage names now show whole, on two lines if needed, in the app and on jaksa.run, also at large text sizes. A new chat is named Your coach instead of Untitled, and the new plan's summary is easier to read on its green card. Your coach's line on the Plan tab is now a quieter quote and ends in three dots if the voice stopped mid-sentence. On Android the bar with Back and Home now matches the app's dark look instead of showing a light grey strip.

Build 329 · 25 October 2026

Typing your way to a plan, clearer first steps and lap check-ins

If you would rather type, an or type button now sits beside Make your plan on the welcome's last step, on the Plan tab and on jaksa.run, and opens a chat ready to ask for your plan. An empty chat now suggests Make my plan first, Ideas opens a typed chat instead of the microphone, and the Plan tab's week counts workouts instead of saying 0 runs.
The first-launch setup now opens with Welcome to Jaksa and gives each permission, such as the microphone, its own screen with a one-line reason, then asks about Strava before Make your plan. Settings, Permissions now has Microphone and Nearby devices rows, and on Android the Done and Settings buttons at the top of a page no longer sit under the clock.
With no runs yet, the weekly distance card on the Me tab now says what will appear there and when, instead of showing an empty box. On Fitness, in the app and on jaksa.run, your weight says where it came from, miles accounts see pounds and feet, and Jaksa's VO2 max is marked as Jaksa's, with a line on why Apple Health's own estimate can differ. In Settings your max heart rate reads, for example, Max at least 198 until a hard workout shows your true max, then Max 198, measured.
People you may know now shows only runners who follow you and runners followed by people you follow. A newcomer is no longer shown every recent account as New on Jaksa, and finds people by name instead.
Signed out, the Subscription page on jaksa.run now shows both plans in your currency with Sign in to start 2 months free. Signing in, even after a failed try, now brings you back to the page you started from, such as a shared workout or a follow link, and the home page no longer says subscribing has not opened yet.
On a track, each lap's check-in now gives that lap's time and pace instead of the distance and laps left, and your answer when your coach asks whether to stop the workout at your target no longer cuts off its reply. A workout no longer brings up requests to pair with Polar sensors you never picked, and pressing STOP before your coach has come on no longer shows Something went wrong.

Build 328 · 25 October 2026

Next up on your plan, shoes getting old and Android Back

Once you keep a plan, the Plan tab now opens on Next up: today's workout while it is still to do, otherwise the next one. Your coach no longer calls a plan saved while it is still waiting for your yes. The timer under a thinking coach now starts when you answer its question, not at your first message.
The new-plan card now gives week 1 the same distance as its week card. Workout names on the week cards, the month and the day now read in your own units, as the workout's page already did. A race keeps its name as written, such as 10 km de Paris.
A pair of shoes can now show as Getting old in the app and on jaksa.run. It says how much longer you now spend on the ground in that pair than in its first runs with your watch.
On small phones such as the iPhone SE, the sign-in code box now scrolls into view above the keyboard instead of sitting behind it. Return on the keyboard signs you in, as the button does.
On Android, Back now steps back one page, for example from a workout, a profile, the plan's pages, Settings or the chat, instead of closing Jaksa. With your coach's voice open, Back returns you to the chat. A plan talk pauses where it is, and any other voice conversation ends.
If you are in the free months of a subscription you have already bought, you no longer get an offer to subscribe after your first workout. Before, it offered you a plan you already had.

Build 327 · 25 October 2026

Critical power, training load and a recap after planned workouts

Jaksa now works out your critical power and your best power from 3 minutes to an hour, with or without a Stryd. A power device's own figure is shown beside Jaksa's, never mixed in. It also shows each workout's training stress, your training load and fatigue, and the balance between them on your dashboard in the app and on jaksa.run, and an AI assistant you connect can read them too.
After a planned workout, your coach now gives you a recap once you stop. It covers whether the workout did its job, what was planned against what you did, your first half against your second, your power and where it came from, and the workout's training stress.
If a workout starts while Jaksa is in the background, for example from a treadmill, your Apple Watch now joins it once you bring Jaksa to the front. Before, the watch did not join that workout.
A Polar Verity Sense worn on your shoe or the small of your back now switches by itself to recording your movement in more detail, and goes back to normal when the workout ends. On your arm it stays as before and keeps measuring your heart rate. You can also ask your coach to switch a pod, and it tells you what it did or why it could not.
Jaksa now recognises many more shoes, including the current daily, stability, cushioned, tempo, race and trail lines of every big running brand, with Mizuno, Altra and Salomon for the first time, plus 25 common road and gravel bikes. More models now come with how long they typically last, and your coach's advice on shoes draws on newer research on super shoes, cushioning and injury.
When you set up a plan by talking with your coach, it no longer asks something you have just answered, such as your start date twice. Any extra questions it has now come at the end, before it asks whether you have questions.

Build 326 · 25 October 2026

Your devices in one list, and a Stryd Duo as one footpod

Settings, Devices now shows one My devices list of everything that is yours, such as your treadmill, heart rate strap, Garmin and footpod. Connected devices come first, then Nearby, then Not nearby with when each was last seen and its battery, and the separate Met on workouts list is gone.
A device Jaksa is not sure about asks Is it yours? once. A device Jaksa adds to your list on its own comes with a line saying why, and devices that are not yours fold into Not yours, each saying who decided, with Mine to undo it.
Tapping a device shows what it adds to your workouts, with Rename, Not mine and Forget. A name you give a device is kept, a name you clear stays cleared, and a device you forget does not come back. For a Stryd it also explains that the Stryd app can take over the pods.
The two pods of a Stryd Duo now show as one Stryd footpod with the lower of their two batteries, in the app, on jaksa.run and to an AI assistant you connect. An AI assistant you connect can also rename and forget your devices.
During a workout the power card now names the device your watts come from, for example Stryd, and a connected footpod is shown as a pair of feet at the top of the screen.

Build 325 · 25 October 2026

Shoes and bikes, and undoing treadmill on a finished workout

Jaksa now keeps track of your shoes and bikes, under Settings, Gear in the app and at jaksa.run/gear. You can add a pair by its model and Jaksa recognises real models from what you type or say. Each pair's distance adds up from the workouts done in it, shown in your own units, and pairs you retire move to a Retired list.
At the start of a workout your coach may now ask which pair you have on, for example Is it the ASICS today, and keeps your answer for that workout. It can also give advice, such as keeping your racing shoes fresh for race day or telling you when a pair is getting worn.
Each workout's page in the app and on jaksa.run now has a shoes card showing the pair it was done in, where you can pick another pair or None. An AI assistant you connect can add and update your gear and tell you which pair suits today's workout.
If a finished workout was marked as treadmill by mistake, its page in the app and on jaksa.run now has Not on a treadmill. It turns the workout back to outdoor with its real distance and pace, works out your figures again, gives it a new name and coach comment, and changes it to outdoor on Strava too. An AI assistant you connect can do this as well. Before, a workout could only be switched back while you were still running.
If your coach cannot finish an answer in the chat, in the app or on jaksa.run, you now see a plain line saying so, with Ask again. Before, a technical error message could appear as its answer, and after reloading your message showed no reply at all.
When your coach puts up a plan, it no longer sometimes starts over from the beginning and leaves you waiting several minutes.

Build 324 · 25 October 2026

Trim a workout's start, and new ways to get workouts onto Strava

You can now trim the start of a workout as well as the end, for example when a watch started it while you were still standing. In the app, Trim the start opens where your distance first moved. On jaksa.run the workout page now lets you trim both the start and the end, which it could not do before. Distance, pace and VO2 max then count from the new start, Undo puts it back, and an AI assistant you connect can trim it too.
Your coach no longer promises that your workout will start once you begin running, which the app does not do.
If Jaksa cannot upload to your Strava account yet, your workout's page in the app and on jaksa.run now shows Get the file for Strava, with where to upload it on Strava. Everyone else finds it in the workout's three dots menu, where it replaces the old iPhone-only export and now works on Android too. An AI assistant you connect can also give you a link to the file.
On jaksa.run, those same workouts also have a Post to Strava button, with a one-screen guide to adding a helper to Chrome. When you click it, the helper fills in Strava's upload page and the new activity's details, including its photos and videos, and you press Strava's own Save. If a photo or video is not ready yet, it says so and offers Try again, and adding photos later keeps any title or description you changed on Strava.
If you mark a footpod or power meter as Mine after a workout it was used in, its power and cadence are now added to that workout and your figures are worked out again, with its measured power replacing Jaksa's own estimate. Before, those readings were lost. A device you have not marked as yours is never counted.

Build 323 · 25 October 2026

See who gave kudos, and Do Not Disturb while you work out

Tapping the faces or the kudos count on a workout now opens a list of everyone who gave kudos, with a Follow or Following button on each, and a tap opens their profile with a way back to the list. On jaksa.run the faces and count open Kudos from on the card, and the feed card links to it. Before, they opened nothing on a card and jumped to the comments on a workout's page, and the comments count still opens the comments there.
Settings now has a Do not disturb while I work out option, off until you choose it. On iPhone, apps cannot turn on a Focus, so the setting shows where to set up the Fitness Focus, under Settings, Focus, Fitness. On Android, Jaksa turns Do Not Disturb on when you start a workout and off when you stop, once you allow it Do Not Disturb access, and a Do Not Disturb you switched on yourself is left alone.
On jaksa.run the Do not disturb switch says that it acts on your phone.
On a treadmill, Pause and the mic now stay in view at the foot of the Workout page, above the page dots. Before, a tall page could push them partly out of sight, and a short fade now shows when there is more to scroll above them.
When Jaksa support is connected, its strip no longer covers the treadmill card during a workout.
If the connection to your coach drops for a moment while it answers in the chat, in the app or on jaksa.run, the chat now tries again and carries on. Before, it could stop with a server error, and now you see The connection to your coach was lost only if it cannot reach your coach at all.

Build 322 · 25 October 2026

Routes from your coach at home, and undoing a treadmill workout

When you talk to your coach by voice outside a workout, it can now make you a route. It starts where you name, or else where your last outdoor workout started, and your next workout follows it. If your coach offers two routes, the one you pick becomes your next. Before, your coach could only make a route during a workout.
A route your coach makes now appears as a map card in the chat, above its answer. On your phone, tap it to see the map full screen. On jaksa.run, click it to open that route in My routes. An AI assistant you connect also gets a link to the map.
If a workout was marked as treadmill by mistake, you can now switch it back to outdoor while you run, either by tapping the lit Treadmill chip or by asking your coach. The distance on screen carries on from where it was, and the treadmill speed and incline reminders stop. Before, the chip could not be turned off, and an outdoor walk marked this way could save almost no distance.
A workout that ends outdoors is now saved as an outdoor workout, and the minutes you spent on the treadmill are kept as part of it. If you step back onto a treadmill later in the same workout, your coach asks about the belt speed again. If you go back into a workout after it was cut off, it still knows you are outdoors.

Build 321 · 25 October 2026

A map of where each of your sensors was last heard

Settings, then Devices, in the app and My devices on jaksa.run now show a Last heard map with where Jaksa last heard each of your heart rate straps, footpods and Garmin devices. Each has its own picture and a line saying when, for example heard 2 hours ago, and a tap gives you walking directions there, which helps if you have lost a pod. You can also ask an AI assistant you connect where a sensor was last heard.
Only sensors you have marked as yours appear on the map, and marking one Mine or Not mine on jaksa.run updates it straight away. If someone else signs in to Jaksa on your phone, they do not see where your sensors were heard.
Your Apple Watch now shows the same distance as your phone in every workout, including on the summary at the end. Before, some workouts showed the watch's own figure, which could differ from the distance that was saved. If your phone is out of reach, the watch keeps showing the last distance it had from the phone.
If you were given Jaksa for free and also pay for a subscription, the app and jaksa.run now show what you pay. Before, they could still say Jaksa was given to you and offer Subscribe again. If you cancel a paid subscription while a gift from us still holds, Jaksa now tells you it stays yours.
While your coach works on an answer, you now hear one waiting sound until the answer comes, and the next wait uses a different one. Before, a long wait could switch between several sounds.

Build 320 · 25 October 2026

Sightseeing routes, and a coach that steps aside for phone calls

Ask your coach for a sightseeing route of any length, for example "build me a sightseeing route of 10 km", and it makes a loop from where you are past as many notable places as fit, then tells you which ones in order. You can ask before or during a workout, in the chat on jaksa.run, or through an AI assistant you connect. In some cities the route takes a little longer to prepare: mid-workout your phone switches to it once it is ready, unless you have started another route since.
You can ask which sights any route passes, and the route map on jaksa.run marks them. On a sightseeing route your coach tells each place's story as you pass it, even if you have switched stories off.
When a call comes in during a workout on iPhone, your coach goes quiet and comes back by itself after the call, and the first time it tells you Siri can announce calls on your AirPods. On Android your coach says a call is coming in and answers or declines it when you tell it to, using a phone permission Jaksa asks for once during first setup or in Settings under Phone permissions.
Your heart rate straps and footpods now stay listed under Met on workouts when they are switched off, with when each was last heard, for example 2 hours ago. They follow your account to a new phone; before, setting up a new phone could drop the ones it had not met. The Devices page on jaksa.run shows the same.
If connecting Strava fails because of a problem on our side, Jaksa now says so and that we will fix it. Before, it only asked you to try again.
When you start a voice talk with your coach, in the app or on jaksa.run, it now greets you as soon as the voice is connected. Before, the first hello could come after a noticeable pause.

Build 319 · 25 October 2026

Work behind the scenes, nothing new to see

This build brings no changes you can see or use in the app or on jaksa.run. Everything from the previous build works as before.

Build 318 · 25 October 2026

Choose who sees every workout live, and stories that stay on

The Share every workout live setting, in the app and on jaksa.run, now offers two choices: My followers or Specific people. For Specific people you search as you type, and each runner you pick appears as a chip with a remove button. You can pick anyone you follow or who follows you.
Anyone with the link is no longer offered for every workout, because a workout you have not started yet has no link. Sharing a single workout still offers it.
If your setting was Anyone with the link, it now shares with your followers. People you had named who are not runners you follow or who follow you are taken off, and if nobody is left, sharing every workout is switched off. Either way Jaksa tells you once.
Stories about the places you pass now stay on for every workout once you say yes, until you ask your coach to stop the stories. Before, you had to agree again on every run. Each place is still told only once, so your usual routes stay quiet.
Your coach now tells you which side of you a place is on, for example "if you look to your left you will see", on runs and on walks.
If you have no training plan and ask your coach what to do today, or say its advice feels generic or repetitive, it now offers once to make you a plan. If you say no, it does not ask again.

Build 317 · 25 October 2026

Search in Settings, and anyone can start free on jaksa.run

Settings now has a search box at the top, in the app and on jaksa.run. Type a word or a value, such as miles, a coach voice's name or your heart rate strap's name, and the matching settings appear with the group each belongs to; pick one to open its page with that setting highlighted. What you type stays on your device.
The home page of jaksa.run now has a Start free button that signs you in at once, free, so you can plan with your coach in the browser. Before, the page said Jaksa was invite-only and for iPhone only, and the sign-in page told newcomers to ask for an invite.
From the same page you can ask to test the iPhone app or the Android app, and a link takes you to a page that says whether subscribing is open.
Jaksa on Android now shows notifications, such as when someone you follow starts a run, and tapping one opens the same screen it does on iPhone. Before, the Android app said notifications would come later.
If you have told your coach you are not training for a race, it no longer suggests one. Before, a runner who only wanted to get fitter could still be invited to a local race.

Build 316 · 25 October 2026

A plan even when you pause, and clearer Strava connecting

If you pause a planning talk after giving your race or goal, when you want to start and how many days a week you run, your coach now goes ahead and writes your plan. It chooses anything still open and tells you in the chat which choices you can change. Before, a paused talk left you with no plan until you came back.
If you come back to the talk before your plan is written, it carries on where you left off.
Jaksa can connect to Strava for a limited number of runners until Strava reviews the connection. When every place is taken, the Strava section of Settings now says so in one plain sentence instead of showing the button, and an AI assistant you connect tells you the same. Before, you were sent to Strava's page and refused there.
While Strava is full, the app holds back its Strava question during first-time setup until a place opens.
The Connect with Strava button now uses Strava's own button design.

Build 315 · 25 October 2026

Manage your ways of signing in on jaksa.run

On jaksa.run, the Account section of Settings now lists every way you sign in to your Jaksa account, such as signing in with Apple, Google or Microsoft. Before, you could only see and change these in the app.
From the website you can now add another way to sign in and remove one you no longer use. Jaksa always keeps at least one, so you cannot lock yourself out.
If the Apple, Google or Microsoft account you try to add already opens a different Jaksa account, the app and jaksa.run now tell you calmly instead of in red. Nothing is wrong and nothing is lost, and both accounts stay as they were.

Build 314 · 25 October 2026

No visible changes in this build

This build changes nothing you can see in the app or on jaksa.run. Your coach, your runs, your plans, your live run links and the people you follow all work as they did in the previous build.

Build 313 · 25 October 2026

No visible changes in this build

Nothing you can see in the app or on jaksa.run is different in this build. Your coach, your runs, your plans and your live run links all work as they did in the previous build.

Build 312 · 25 October 2026

Mute notifications from one person you follow

You can now mute one person you follow: you no longer get a phone notification when they start a run, and your coach no longer mentions it. You still follow them, they are not told, and their cheers on your own runs still reach you.
To mute someone, press Mute on the notification that they have started a run, or tap the bell beside Following on their profile, in the app or on jaksa.run.
In Settings, under Privacy & sharing, "Notifications from people you follow" lists everyone you have muted, each with an Unmute button. "Mute someone" lets you search among the people you follow. The same card is on your Me page at jaksa.run.
A new "Notify my phone" switch turns off phone notifications about everyone you follow at once, and "The coach tells me" now sits beside it.
Running now marks the people you have muted. An AI assistant you connect can also mute and unmute people for you, and unfollowing someone clears their mute.

Build 311 · 25 October 2026

No changes you can see in this build

Nothing has changed in the app or on jaksa.run for you as a runner. Your coach, your runs and your plans work as they did in the previous build.

Build 308 · 24 October 2026

Your coach now looks up races it does not know

When you plan with your coach and name a race it does not know, such as a smaller race or a race weekend, it now looks the race up on the web. Before, it could only offer races it already knew, and you could be left without a plan.
This works when you talk to your coach by voice too, including during a run. Your coach tells you it is looking the race up, then tells you what it found, or says plainly if it could not find the race.
Your coach no longer saves a different race just because it is in the same city. Before, naming a February race weekend in San Francisco could save the city's July marathon instead.
The month and distance you give for your race are kept as you said them, so "around May" is saved as May. A race's distance is taken from the race itself, not from a word like Marathon in its name.

Build 307 · 24 October 2026

Heart rate stays on your chest strap when your watch is wrong

When you run with a chest strap and a watch or other wrist sensor and they disagree, your heart rate now stays on the strap when the watch is the one that is wrong, for example when it shows your step rate or double your real heart rate. Before, the strap could be set aside, so you saw and heard the watch's number, which could be far too high.
If it is the strap that has come loose or slipped, your heart rate still moves to the watch as before.
When a wrist sensor reads lower than your chest strap, Jaksa now says it has lost your pulse, rather than that it reads high.

Build 306 · 24 October 2026

Workouts you agree with your coach now start with their steps

When you agree a workout with your coach before you start, such as 10 minutes easy and then six 1-minute pickups with 2 minutes easy between, the workout now starts with those steps and follows them from the first one. Before, it could start as plain intervals with no steps set.
The workout you agree on is saved as today's planned workout. If the start has to be tried again, it keeps the same steps, and your coach's chosen workout stays selected when the workout list refreshes.
During a workout, your coach no longer makes up reps of its own. It sets up reps only when you clearly say yes, and a question or a doubt is not taken as a yes.
On the activity pods page in the app, the place chips are gone and a "Where can I wear it?" line takes their place. To correct a wrong place, tell your coach or an AI assistant you connect.

Build 305 · 24 October 2026

Video stills before playing, and photos kept on your phone

In the app, every workout video now shows its first frame while it loads, instead of a blank or black frame. This applies in the photo carousel, full screen and the map's corner, and the switch to the playing video is smooth.
On jaksa.run, videos on the timeline, the workout page and the viewer show the same first-frame still, including videos added before this build. If a video's finished version arrives while you have it open, the still updates to match.
An AI assistant you connect can now see a video's still when it looks at a workout's photos and videos.
Workout photos in the app are now kept on your phone, so they no longer download again when you scroll back or reopen a workout. Before, larger photos loaded again each time.
On Crew, Me and runners' profiles in the app, the first photo of the next few workouts loads before you scroll to it. The picture viewer also loads the photos on either side ahead.
Photos kept on your phone belong to the account you are signed in with. They are cleared when you sign out, delete your account or sign in with another account.

Build 304 · 24 October 2026

Quicker subscription, chat and workout pages in the app

In the app, the subscription page now opens with its prices and Buy button ready, because the prices load while you are in Settings. Before, it showed a spinner first.
When you open the app, your latest coach chat and your profile load in the background. The coach chat shows your last messages at once and then updates, and sending, voice, Retry and an answer's buttons work once the fresh chat has arrived.
Touching a workout card on Crew, a runner's profile or Me now starts loading its route and numbers, and touching a runner's face or name starts loading their profile, so the page opens almost at once.
On Crew and runners' profiles in the app, older workouts now load as you scroll near the end of the list, so they are usually there before you reach it.
In stretching, the next move's video is prepared while you do the current one. Videos are kept on your phone and do not load again.

Build 303 · 24 October 2026

Say goodbye to end a voice talk, and a quicker jaksa.run

When you say goodbye or ask to stop in a voice talk from the app's home screen, your coach now says goodbye and ends the call. Before, it explained how to close the app and the call ran on until a minute of silence.
The same now holds for voice in the coach chat, in the app and on jaksa.run. If you say goodbye and then start a workout, the workout's countdown and talk carry on and are no longer cut short.
On jaksa.run, Crew, Me and runners' profiles now show what you last saw at once, at the place you had scrolled to, then update in place. A workout opens straight away with the name and numbers from its card.
On jaksa.run, feed videos now show their first frame instead of a blank tile, and the first two tiles load at once. The picture viewer loads the pictures on either side ahead, and older workouts load as you scroll near them instead of when you reach the end.
In Chrome, pointing at a tab, workout or profile on jaksa.run starts loading it, so it opens almost at once when you click.
What jaksa.run keeps to show pages quickly belongs to the account you are signed in with and is cleared every time you sign out.

Build 302 · 24 October 2026

Numbered sensors, quicker screens and a coach that waits to answer

Each foot pod or sensor now gets a number the first time your phone connects it, its name followed by 1, 2 and so on, and keeps that number on every workout. You can rename it on the Devices screen in the app, on the Devices page on jaksa.run, or through an AI assistant you connect, and the newest name wins. A missing sensor is named by its number, where before a pod could keep a place like "left shoe" from an earlier workout even while it lay at home.
Where each pod sits is now worked out fresh on every workout from its motion, and your coach tells you once, for example that pod 1 is on your left foot, without repeating it. Before you start, your coach listens for a few seconds for chest straps, watches and pods nearby, opens by naming what it heard, and asks only about a usual one it did not hear.
Settings and the coach chat now open over the home screen, so Crew, your week's kilometres and the weather are still there when you come back instead of loading again. Workouts, profiles and plan pages open on top of Crew, Plan and Me, so going back is instant and keeps your place, and workout videos load ahead instead of flashing black.
In voice talks, your coach now waits without a yes or no while it checks something, and it always checks questions about a workout it has just suggested. Before, it could say a cool-down was included and then be corrected. During a workout, if your coach says it has done something, such as passing on your idea, when it has not, it now tells you so.
In the coach chat, in the app and on jaksa.run, an answer the coach writes a second time after its buttons is now shown only once. This could happen with a new plan written out again under "Keep this plan". New words after the buttons still appear.
A walk or run is no longer cut short when your Apple Watch stops recording early, for example because another workout app took over, while your phone carried on. The phone's own finish now counts. A workout that showed 10.00 km at the finish is now saved as 10.00 km, where before rounding could make it read 10.01 km afterwards.

Step length from your iPhone alone, and one answer per question

A workout recorded with only your iPhone, with no foot pod or chest strap, now gets running form minutes from the phone's own step counter: steps a minute and step length. Your coach hears them, and the workout shows your cadence, your step length at the start against the end, and a trend against your other phone-only workouts.
Your coach now gives one answer to each thing you say. Before, you could hear an answer to your question and then a second line about the same words. A second answer now comes only when it corrects the first, and one about something you have already moved past is no longer said. The same goes for voice chats in the app and on jaksa.run.
With a chest strap that sends its motion readings, your coach now hears your ground contact time each minute, and an AI assistant you connect can read it. On test runs it came within a few milliseconds of a running watch's own figure.
On a follow page, on jaksa.run and in the app, cheers now read from oldest at the top to newest at the bottom in a box that scrolls on its own. The box stays on the newest cheer unless you have scrolled up.
When the Workout app on your Apple Watch records the same workout as Jaksa, Apple's copy is now kept beside Jaksa's for comparison instead of being thrown away as a duplicate. It never shows as a workout of its own and is never counted in totals or bests or sent to Strava, but an AI assistant you connect can read it.
Workouts brought in from Apple Health now keep Apple's stride length, ground contact time, vertical oscillation and speed. Nothing in the app shows these yet, but an AI assistant you connect can read them.

Build 300 · 24 October 2026

Mute workouts in Strava feeds and hide more of your map's ends

The Strava settings, in the app and on jaksa.run, now have "Mute in followers' feeds" with Never, Walks or Every workout, so the workouts Jaksa sends to Strava can stay out of your followers' home feeds. "Walks" goes by what the workout is now, so a run you changed to a walk is muted and a walk you changed to a run is not.
Strava does not let any other app choose who can see a workout there. The Strava settings page now says so and opens Strava's own privacy settings.
Jaksa's settings now have "Hide my map's start and end" with 200 m (as before), 500 m or 1 km. It applies wherever someone else sees your map: a finished workout, its photo and cheer markers, the timeline and a live follow page. The map settings page and each choice now have a short line explaining them.
An AI assistant you connect can now set both of these for you.
The Subscription page in the app and jaksa.run/subscription now link to the terms and the privacy policy beside the subscribe button.

Build 299 · 24 October 2026

Edit a workout's photos and videos, and every video on cards

On your own workout, "Edit photos and videos" in the app's "…" menu and "Edit" on the photos card on jaksa.run now show every picture with a close button and "Add photos or videos". A picture you add is kept whenever it was taken: one from during the workout goes on the map at its own place, or where your route was at that moment, and one from another time is shown but not on the map. A picture you remove is gone for good, and the app no longer brings it back from your phone's library.
An AI assistant you connect can now list a workout's photos and videos, add a photo, and remove one after asking you to confirm. Strava does not let other apps add or remove photos, so these changes stay in Jaksa, which has never sent photos there.
Workout cards on Crew, on profiles and on jaksa.run now show every photo and video, where before videos were left out and jaksa.run showed at most two photos and a count of the rest. In the app a video plays silently on a loop, one card at a time, and tapping it opens it full screen. On jaksa.run the card is a sideways strip of the map and every picture, and a video plays while it is mostly in view.
A friend's live workout now appears in Running now as soon as you open the app or bring it back to the front, including from the notice that they started, and as soon as you return to the jaksa.run tab. Before, the Friends page checked only about every 30 seconds and could miss it when you came in from that notice. A live card also no longer disappears again because an older, slower update arrived late.

Build 298 · 24 October 2026

Followers can listen live, and track lap tables fit small screens

When you share a live workout, a new choice, "Let them listen live", lets the people who can see your conversation with your coach also hear you and your coach as you run, on jaksa.run and on the app's follow screen. Turning it on also shows the conversation, hiding the conversation turns listening off, and stopping the share cuts every listener at once. Your music and earbuds carry on as usual, nothing is recorded, and while you are muted listeners hear only the coach.
On a track workout, each lap now takes two lines, in the app and on jaksa.run: lap, time, metres, pace and lane on the first, and heart rate, watts and cadence smaller underneath. Before, with all of these shown, a time such as 2:20 could break over three lines on a small iPhone, and now every number stays on one line. The kilometre splits card also fits all its columns on small screens, and its pace heading now reads /km.
The workout map opened full screen now shows the same photo, video and cheer markers as the map on the page, where before it showed only the route. The same goes for the follow screen and a planned course's map, and tapping a photo on the full-screen map opens it right there.
In the full-screen video viewer, the mute button is now a white speaker on a dark circle at the clip's top-right corner, where before it was a symbol below the clip. The camera on the workout map and the paperclip on files in chat, in the app and in the coach panel on jaksa.run, are now drawn icons, and quick cheers such as clap and fire are still sent as emoji.
Your saved workouts now also keep each heart-rate sensor's own readings, your Apple Watch's stride length, ground contact time, vertical oscillation and active energy, and 2 minutes of heart rate from your strap after you press STOP. Nothing in the app shows these yet, but an AI assistant you connect can read them. Your workout is still saved the moment you press STOP, as before.

Build 297 · 24 October 2026

Saved distance matches the screen and new waiting sounds

When you stop an outdoor workout, the distance it keeps is now the one on your screen at that moment, and it stays that way. Before, a distance your Apple Watch reported afterwards could replace it, but now the watch's figure is kept beside it instead. The route sent to Strava and in exported files is stretched to match this total, and workouts saved before keep the distance they had.
While your coach is working out an answer, you now hear three short synthetic sounds taking turns instead of breathing: a bell ping-pong, rising bubbles and a pulse with a sparkle, each followed by a short quiet. The same sounds play when you talk to your coach on jaksa.run.
On a running track, once the lanes have corrected your distance, your Apple Watch now shows that corrected distance on its main page, its distance view, the controls summary and the watch face, and it holds steady through a pause. Before, the watch showed its own total, which could differ from your iPhone's. Your watch's own total still goes to Apple Health.

Build 296 · 24 October 2026

Jaksa's own subscription checkout on Android in Europe

On an Android phone whose Google Play country is in the European Economic Area, the Subscription page can now show Jaksa's own prices, and its button opens Jaksa's own checkout after a short information screen from Google. Google decides whether this is offered on your phone, and if it is not, you subscribe through Google Play as before. If you already subscribe through Google Play, nothing changes for you.
If Google is slow to answer or cannot be reached, the Subscription page now says so and offers Try again, then fills in by itself when the answer arrives. Before, it could show Google Play's prices to someone who should see Jaksa's own.
Nothing changes on iPhone in this build.

Build 295 · 24 October 2026

Apple Watch distance leads live and Bluetooth drops leave no gap

During a workout your Apple Watch is recording, the live distance and pace now come from the watch itself, so they match the workout saved afterwards and the kilometre call arrives with the watch's buzz. Before, live figures came from your iPhone's GPS, could differ by about 2 percent and could put the kilometre call up to a minute after the watch's. If the watch goes quiet for 10 seconds your iPhone carries on from the watch's last total without counting anything twice, and on a treadmill, on a running track or when the watch workout started well after yours, the iPhone's figures are kept.
If your iPhone's Bluetooth turns off mid-workout, its own GPS and step counter now take over straight away. Before, the route could have a gap of about 20 seconds and your distance could end up around 50 m short.
Your Apple Watch's readings are now kept even when the watch has not been in touch with your iPhone since you last opened Jaksa. Before, such a watch could have every reading turned away and lost until the two reconnected.
When you mention an idea for Jaksa in passing, your coach now asks whether to pass it on, and your yes is passed on.

Build 294 · 24 October 2026

Workout videos keep uploading and shoe pod cadence reads true

After a workout, your photos and videos now keep uploading after you leave Jaksa, with your iPhone showing the progress. Any picture still on its way appears as a Processing tile with a line such as 2 more videos on their way, and the page fills in by itself as each one arrives, in the app, on jaksa.run, on the feed card and for your followers. Before, some pictures waited on your phone until you opened Jaksa again, and a video that was not ready yet could look broken.
Video clips shorter than a second, such as an accidental tap of the record button, are no longer added to your workout.
Live cadence from shoe pods and a chest strap now matches what a running watch reports. Before, it could read about 2 percent low. Workouts saved before keep their earlier figures, and indoor distance is unchanged.

Build 293 · 24 October 2026

Workout files, a VO2 max from steady runs and cheers to read back

You can now bring in past workouts from files: a single FIT, GPX or TCX file, or the whole zip from Strava's or Garmin's data export. Add them under Settings, Connections, Workouts from files in the app or on jaksa.run, by sending a file in the chat, or through an AI assistant you connect. Before, connecting Strava brought in no past workouts. Now runs and walks arrive as recorded, are never sent on to Strava, and a workout Jaksa already has is kept only once.
Your fitness now includes a VO2 max estimate from everyday steady outdoor runs of 20 minutes or more, based on your pace against your heart rate over the last eight weeks and shown with its margin of error. Apple's Cardio Fitness and any lab tests in Apple Health appear beside it, never mixed in, in the app, on jaksa.run and for your coach.
During a workout, the newest cheer from a follower now appears under the status line with who sent it, a tap opens all of them, and each new cheer also shows as a notification on your lock screen. Before, a cheer was only read out and you had nothing to read back. With the app open, a friend starting a workout now brings up a short message with a Follow button, even if notifications are off.
Climb is now closer to what a barometric watch reports, because the barometer's slow drift with the weather is corrected using GPS heights and rises under 2 m are now counted. Before, climb could read about a fifth to a quarter low. Earlier workouts, their splits and their timeline cards show the new figure too.
On a workout's page, pulling down from the top now moves the sheet with your finger while the map grows behind it, and when you let go it settles at the nearer of the half map or the small peek. Dragging the peek up works the same way. Before, the page resisted and then snapped open only after you lifted your finger, and on jaksa.run the grab bar now follows your finger too.
After an unmute, the Mute button and the lock screen now show the microphone as off until it is really working again, and the app keeps trying other ways to get it back. Before, the screen could say on while your coach could not hear you. Your coach also no longer keeps saying a shoe pod is lost when it wrongly placed a pod from an earlier workout on that foot, and a long video you add from Photos is no longer cut after about a minute.

Build 292 · 24 October 2026

Ask to follow now fits its button on People you may know

On the People you may know cards, the Ask to follow button now shows its whole label on one line, in the app and on jaksa.run. Before, the words wrapped onto two lines and you saw only the top one, cut off at the right. If you use a large text size on your iPhone, the label now shrinks to fit the button.

Build 291 · 24 October 2026

One Start button, a count into every rep and tidier Settings

Home now has a single Start button instead of run, walk and treadmill choices beside it, and a smaller line under it says what it will start when Jaksa knows, such as today's plan, a rest day or a connected treadmill. Afterwards, setting a workout's kind to Walk in the app or on jaksa.run turns it into a walk, and a run kind turns it back into a run, with its name, time and Strava following. jaksa.run's workout page has a new Kind list for this.
In a workout you follow step by step, your coach now counts you into every rep and rest after the first with three, two, one, go, timed so go lands as the step changes. Before, the next step was only announced. You can turn this off under Countdown in Settings, by asking your coach, or through an AI assistant you connect.
When a workout starts, the coach's orb opens with a lime ring, one buzz and the words Workout started for two seconds. Under the orb you then see the time with hundredths, distance, current pace and whether you are recording or paused. A ring also fills toward today's goal when you have one.
After you talk to your coach outside a workout, whether before a run, in voice chat or after STOP, your phone's audio is now handed back. Before, music in another app could stay dimmed, or refuse to play or skip as if you were still on a call, until Jaksa was closed or opened again.
Settings now has five groups, Coach, Workouts, Connections, Privacy & sharing and Help, below your own row, which opens your account, in the app and on jaksa.run. Each setting takes one line: simple ones switch on and off right in the list, and the rest show their value and open their own page, with a short explanation at the top instead of a question mark. If you refused Apple Music access you can still stop using it, and a privacy setting that fails to load now says so instead of showing Off.

Build 290 · 24 October 2026

The coach's orb on home, a Crew tab and treadmill switch-on guides

Beside Start on home, the coach's orb now replaces the microphone, and a tap opens your coach full screen with labelled Mute, Type and End buttons. Before, the voice stayed on the feed with a close button in the dock. The first tab is now Crew instead of Friends, in the app and on jaksa.run, and Me shows the offer to connect an AI assistant once, also before your first workout.
When Jaksa cannot hear your treadmill, drawn steps now show how to switch it on for the app, for the Technogym Run and for gym treadmills. Find them under Show me how in Settings under Devices, on a card during a treadmill workout, or in the treadmill guide on jaksa.run.
The 3-2-1 count now starts as soon as you tap Start and holds on 1 until the workout is recording. If Apple Health never answers, the workout starts after a few seconds and you are told, where before Start could spin forever. After STOP, the finished screen comes up at once, and followers on jaksa.run see at once that you have finished.
If you start a workout while a plan your coach offered still waits for your yes, your coach now mentions it, and a yes keeps the plan and loads today's session. After STOP, the words that ended the workout no longer end the conversation, and asking what your coach thinks gets a verdict on the workout. Asking by voice to turn auto-pause on now works.
Pressing End on an Apple Watch that has lost touch with the phone now ends the workout on the phone too, and a STOP pressed while the watch was away no longer stops your next workout started on the wrist. A short workout that covered distance, such as a 200 m sprint, is now saved to Apple Health. The watch face no longer shows a heart rate the sensor has stopped sending.
On the Plan tab, a key workout you stopped well short is now marked with a cross, a workout moved past the plan's last week stays visible, and a 400 m rep reads 400 m in miles, not 0.2 mi. 5K and 10K plans no longer put race pace into long runs. Late watch readings no longer undo a treadmill or walk correction you made, and readings from a resumed workout are no longer lost.

Build 289 · 24 October 2026

Pause stops the treadmill at once, and estimated running power

Pause and STOP now stop the treadmill belt at once. Before, a pause could wait up to 20 seconds behind a speed or incline change still under way, and a speed asked for just before it could still go out; now changes not yet sent are dropped. A treadmill your coach controls without the standard connection now also stops on Pause and STOP, where before its belt could keep moving.
If the Bluetooth link to a treadmill drops mid-workout, Jaksa now reconnects only to that same treadmill, never a neighbour's in the gym. Pressing Start on the console while the link was down now resumes your paused workout once it is back, so that distance is no longer lost. A treadmill that runs faster than asked, for example one that reads km/h as mph, now has the phone's speed control turned off for that workout.
When nothing you wear measures running power, a workout now gets Jaksa's own estimate from your pace, slope and weight in its chart, averages, splits and laps, on jaksa.run, in Strava and in Apple Health. It is always labelled W est. and is never mixed with power measured by a watch or footpod. Before, such a workout came back with no power outside the Effort card.
Asking for a quick route mid-run now makes one route at a time, so the route your coach describes is the one on your screen, and your coach knows where it ends compared with where you started. A heart-rate alarm you set now says the reading that crossed your limit, not a later one that may already be back under it. A workout you carry on by voice after STOP with the phone locked now keeps recording your route.
Jaksa's music now keeps playing while your workout is paused, and a click asked for while paused plays. Before, you could hear nothing even after your coach said it was done. Mute still silences both, and a double tap on a Polar strap now mutes your coach only from your own strap, not from someone else's nearby.
Keep this plan is no longer refused because you ran faster or started a workout after the plan was offered. Declining or clearing a plan in the evening now also removes today's workout, where before it could stay. A plan's page and calendar now show your own races and finished workouts on the days they are actually kept.

Build 288 · 24 October 2026

New plans drop races you have run and start on the day you agreed

A goal race you have already run no longer carries over as the goal of a new plan that names no race. Before, a marathon from last week could stay the goal of a new general fitness plan, both when it was offered and after you kept it. A plan you already kept still shows the race it built to, and a race later today still counts as ahead even if it is already tomorrow in another time zone.
Tapping Keep on a plan twice, or saying yes in the chat while tapping Keep, now adds each race and workout to your plan once. Before, they could appear twice.
When you have agreed with your coach on the day your plan starts, a new plan is now checked to begin on that day. Before, a plan that started two weeks early could go up without being caught.
A workout with a hard block now counts as a hard day even when its warm-up is timed with no pace, such as 10 minutes easy, 20 minutes at marathon pace and 10 minutes easy. Before, it counted as easy, so a week with three hard sessions could slip past the weekly limit.

Build 287 · 24 October 2026

Workout videos show your numbers, and planned workouts can be edited

Videos you take during a workout now show your numbers from that moment, such as pace, distance, heart rate and the workout clock, painted into a copy while your original is kept. Choose up to four numbers in Settings under Video legend, or change one video with its Legend button. Until the painted copy is ready, the numbers are drawn live over the clip, in the app and on jaksa.run.
You can now change the steps of one planned workout, such as its reps, rests, repeats and paces, from the Edit sheet on its workout page or in My plan on jaksa.run, and it saves at once. Your coach can do the same by voice at home or mid-run, for example "make Wednesday one-mile repeats, two minutes walking between". Only a change to the whole plan still waits for your yes.
After an interval workout, a reps card shows the plan's aim beside each rep, and a mix of reps too fast and too slow now reads as uneven instead of cancelling out into on plan. Intervals that mix distance reps with timed rests, such as 5 x 1 km with 2-minute rests, no longer end by themselves about ten minutes in. A yes to a plan change now changes the whole plan or nothing, so a second yes still works.
A heart-rate source that stops sending real beats now shows no number within seconds instead of its last one, and your coach knows it is gone. That includes a strap that sends zeros or impossible values like 250, or one lost indoors. A paired sensor that never sent heart rate is no longer said to have come off, and a strap you mark Not mine stays out even when it reaches you through Apple Health.
Ask your coach what became of a problem you reported and it tells you where it stands, with any note the team left for you, and you can ask it questions about Jaksa too. Asked how much is left with no goal set, it now goes by your usual distance for that kind of workout, and it no longer offers to take a screenshot.
On a workout page, pulling down past the top, or dragging or tapping the grab bar, now opens the map full screen so you can drag and pinch it, and scrolling up brings the page back. The grab bar does the same on jaksa.run on a phone. Followers now see your heart rate in whole beats, and telling your coach to stop sharing stops only that workout's share.

Build 286 · 24 October 2026

Your coach's voice can ask its own follow-ups while planning

When you talk by voice in a chat where your coach is still gathering what it needs for your plan, the voice may now ask follow-up questions of its own, for example about something you only mentioned in passing. Before, it kept to the questions your coach had set, and what you answer is still filed and checked by your coach as before.
Your coach's voice during a run is unchanged.
If it takes too long to tell whether a chat is a planning conversation, the voice now opens as an ordinary chat voice after a second or two. Before, it could stay on connecting.

Build 285 · 24 October 2026

Friend suggestions clear away once you follow everyone in them

In Friends, the "People you may know" row now goes a moment after every runner in it is followed, or asked to follow if they are private, in the app and on jaksa.run alike. Before, the row stayed with "Following" cards and the See all card until you reloaded the page.
In its place is the same one-line People link with See all that a reload already showed. It stays because it is the only way to see requests waiting for you and the runners you removed, and a runner you follow is not suggested again.
If you unfollow a runner in that short moment before the row goes, their card now comes back at the front of the row instead of disappearing until a reload. A card you took off with the close button never comes back by itself.
Undo on a card you closed brings it back showing whether you follow that runner now, and the short wait before the row goes starts again.

Build 284 · 23 October 2026

Workout pages open on a full-width map, in the app and on jaksa.run

In the app, a workout page now opens on its map, edge to edge across the top and up behind the clock, with a back button and a three-dot button floating on it. The rest of the page is a sheet over the map that scrolls like a page, and when you scroll up a strip of the map stays pinned, still showing the dot that moves as you touch the charts.
The page now shows the same five numbers as the feed card, with average heart rate and climb added. On your own workout one line from your coach sits under them, the same sentence as on the card, and kudos follow below, with comments and a box to write one at the end.
The three-dot button holds Export and Delete on your own workout, which used to sit on the page itself, and Share link and Report workout on a friend's, where a report is kept for a person to read. An AI assistant you connect can also report a workout and tell you a run's climb.
The full-screen map now switches between Map and Satellite. Nothing else was removed from the page, and opening a workout from your coach's chat or from its photos now shows the same page as opening it from the Me tab.
On jaksa.run, a workout shows the same five numbers and the coach's sentence, plus a three-dot button with Share link and Report workout on a friend's. On a phone the map runs edge to edge across the top and stays pinned as a strip while you move its dot along the charts. Satellite view is not available on jaksa.run.

Build 283 · 23 October 2026

A card and a word from your coach when your paces get faster

When a run shows you are fitter, for example a faster stretch in a test run, your plan's training paces already moved with it, but nothing marked it. Now the Plan tab and My plan on jaksa.run show a "Faster." card above your paces for 14 days, with each pace before and now and the seconds gained. A slower run never shows one.
Your coach also says it once, at the start of your next run, for example "Faster. Your 5 km in 21:48 beats your best of 22:32, so your paces move with it: easy from 5:44 to 5:38 per km." If that line is never actually spoken, for instance on a run recorded offline, your coach says it on a later run instead.
The "Faster." card also shows on a plan with no race goal and on a plan whose workouts name no paces. With a race goal other than a marathon, your marathon pace stays on the card as a training pace of its own. An AI assistant you connect can also tell you when and why your paces last got faster.
Live sharing with your followers is on by default, and runners who never changed that setting are now told once. At your first workout shared this way, the workout screen says so and offers a "Turn off" button, which switches the setting off and stops sharing this workout. If the screen is not in view, your coach tells you in one line instead, and if you changed the setting yourself you are not told.
On jaksa.run, a card at the top of My workouts tells you the same on your next visit and has its own Turn off. In the app, if turning sharing off fails, a "Stop this one" button stays to stop sharing this workout, or a "Try again" button if saving the setting failed.

Build 282 · 23 October 2026

Your coach tells you when a friend starts a workout during yours

When someone you follow starts a workout while you are out on one, your coach now tells you at a quiet moment, for example "Brian just started a run. Want to send a cheer?". Before, only the notification came, which is easy to miss with the phone in a pocket. The notification still comes, and the line is dropped if there is no quiet moment within 10 minutes.
You can turn these lines off with "Tell me when friends start" in Settings, under Live sharing, on the Me page of jaksa.run, by telling your coach, or through an AI assistant you connect. Switching it off also cancels a line already waiting to be said, and it never stops the notification.
If saving "Tell me when friends start" fails, the error now shows under that switch instead of among the live sharing controls. On jaksa.run the switch stays locked until its save has finished.
When you ask your coach to report a problem with a screenshot, it now says what really happens: the screenshot is taken now, it will be taken once Jaksa is open on your screen, or it cannot be taken because it would be of another runner's phone, a watch or a treadmill. Before, it could say it had added a screenshot when none had been taken.

Build 281 · 23 October 2026

Bells for live workouts you follow, and saved cheers after the run

Opening a friend's live workout in the app or on jaksa.run, signed in, now turns on a bell for that workout. Your phone hears from it when the runner answers after you leave a message and when they finish, with distance and time; each kilometre and halfway only come if you switch them on. One tap turns the bell off and it stays off, nothing is sent after the finish, and following a person still only tells you when they start a workout.
A finished workout now keeps what happened during it. Under "Cheers on this workout" you see the followers' typed and voice cheers and the runner's replies, oldest first, each at its kilometre, and followers who may open the workout now see this too. Senders appear by the first name they cheered under, and other people are not shown map points within 200 m of the start or finish.
The "How the coach listens" setting is gone: your coach always listens hands-free and every talk starts with the microphone open. Push to talk, the held microphone button and "Hold the mic to talk" have been removed.
Tapping to mute or unmute your coach on iPhone no longer stops your music, as Jaksa plays no tick of its own and the iPhone's own mute chime confirms it. "I can hear you" now comes only once the microphone is really back.
A workout paused for 10 minutes now ends by itself. Your coach tells you if it can, otherwise you get a notification, your earbuds go back to your music, and followers see that it ended after a long pause. On the paused screen, the Pause or Resume label now wraps under its button instead of running into "Coach off".
At each kilometre your coach now says what is left with the unit, such as "2 kilometres to go", instead of "Two to go". A friend's live or finished workout now shows in your own units, so a runner who uses miles appears in kilometres if that is what you use.

Build 280 · 23 October 2026

Apple Watch distance checks wait for your Apple Health answer

If you have not yet answered Apple Health's permission question, Jaksa no longer treats this as a fault each time you open the app. It pauses its check of your Apple Watch distances and keeps all your workouts waiting to be checked. You can answer the question on the setup screen or in Settings, under Permissions.

Build 279 · 23 October 2026

Mute your coach with a tap and get full music quality back

When you mute your coach or pause a workout, Jaksa now lets go of your microphone, so your earbuds go back to full music quality instead of the thin call sound you heard before. Your coach finishes telling you it is muted first, and unmuting brings it back at once. If you are on a phone call, the microphone is let go once the call ends.
A double or triple tap on your heart rate chest strap now mutes or unmutes your coach. It says "Muted, double-tap again to unmute" or "I can hear you", and when your coach is switched off, a tick confirms the tap. Your footsteps are not mistaken for taps.
You can also say "mute yourself" to your coach, ask an AI assistant you connect to mute it, or double pinch on your Apple Watch.
While your coach is muted, people following your run see "coach muted" on jaksa.run and in the app. When you go back into a workout, they see whether your microphone is really on. With push to talk, it comes back muted.
If unmuting does not work the first time, Jaksa keeps trying every 2 seconds until your coach can hear you again.

Followers can send you a voice message or dictate a cheer

Following someone's run in the Jaksa app, you can now dictate your cheer with the microphone on the cheer line, or tap Record a voice message to record up to 20 seconds, then tap Send or discard it with the close button. You need to be signed in, and a line tells you so when you are not. On jaksa.run, cheers stay typed only.
The app asks for your microphone the first time you tap, and does not record while your own coach is using the microphone on your run. Leaving the follow screen mid-recording stops it and deletes it. Tapping Send while still dictating sends your full words once they are ready, not a half-finished line.
When someone sends you a voice message during a run, your coach says "Voice message from" and their name, then plays the clip in your earbuds, and nothing else is said over it. A message only counts as heard once it has played. If it could not play, it comes again shortly after.
Voice messages are written out and go through the same checks as typed cheers, and they count towards the same limit of ten cheers every 5 minutes. A message that cannot be written out or checked is not sent. Muting cheers mutes voice messages too.
In the app's lists of messages, a voice message shows its length, such as "voice message, 4 s", and whether it was played. An AI assistant you connect can also see that a cheer was a voice message and how long it was.

Your coach learns your name, and your sex is now in Settings

If Jaksa does not know your name or your sex yet, your coach now asks you once at the start of a session: "What should I call you?" and "Male or female?". It says your answer back to you and does not ask again.
Your sex now appears in Settings, under Account in the app and in Settings on jaksa.run. You can change it there or choose Rather not say. Apple Health can fill it in when it is empty, but your own choice always wins, and Jaksa never takes it from Strava.
You can also ask an AI assistant you connect to set your sex, and it can tell you what is currently set.
Sharing your run live, sharing every workout automatically and following other runners now need a name on your account. Without one, these are turned down, and a workout no longer shares itself automatically when it starts.
On a workout's page, the age question now asks only for your year of birth when your account already has your sex.

Build 276 · 23 October 2026

Your coach can tell you about the places you run past

Running somewhere new, your coach can now offer short stories about the places you pass. A few minutes into an outdoor workout more than 25 km from where any of your earlier workouts started, with a notable place nearby, it asks you once whether you want them. It never asks while your coach is on Quiet, even if you tap Quiet just as the offer is coming.
If you say yes, your coach tells you one or two sentences about a notable place each time you come within about 200 metres of one. It waits for a quiet moment, at least a minute after you last spoke. It tells at most one story every 4 minutes and never tells you about the same place twice. Say "stop the stories" to end them.
You can also ask an AI assistant you connect to turn the stories on for your next workout, and it can tell you whether they are on. A workout already under way is not changed, and if you turn them on or off this way during a workout, your coach does not ask you again. The help pages now explain how the stories work.

Build 275 · 23 October 2026

Tap your chest strap to mute, and intervals start on the go

Two firm taps on your heart rate chest strap, or three on a foot pod, now mute or unmute your microphone, just like the Mute button. Two ticks in your earbuds tell you whether you are now muted or not. Running jolts do not set it off.
When your coach starts intervals during a run, the first rep now begins when you hear "Rep 1 of 6 ... Go" and counts in full from there. Before, the rep could start in silence and your coach could add an extra rep to make up for it. If your coach is muted or not connected, the reps start straight away.
Intervals you asked your coach for now stay as you asked. Your coach can no longer end them or swap in different ones without asking you first. Before, you could hear one set of intervals start and then be switched to another.
If your coach's connection drops and comes back just as you ask it to do something, the coach now tells you the outcome. Before, it could ask you to say it again even though your phone had already done it.
Your coach now reads times aloud correctly, such as "1 hour and 17 seconds" at the end of a workout and "just over an hour in" at a split. Before, a time like 1:00:17 could come out as "one hour and seventeen".
When you ask your coach to change the volume on Bluetooth earbuds or glasses and the phone cannot change it, your coach now says so and tells you to use their own buttons or your phone's side buttons. Before, it could say the volume had changed when it had not.

Build 274 · 23 October 2026

Pick your plan's start day, and your watch starts with you again

Your planning talk now asks when you want to start training: today, next Monday, early enough for the full build before your race, or a day you choose. Your coach says the date back to you, refuses a day in the past, and your plan begins on that day. Until your plan begins, the plan page in the app and on jaksa.run has Start on a different day, which asks your coach in the plan's chat.
Your coach can now fit the planning talk to you by rewording a question, adding up to four of its own, or skipping one it already knows the answer to. Your goal, race, start day and training days are always asked.
When you start a workout on your phone, Jaksa on your Apple Watch now starts with it again. Before, an earlier workout the watch had not finished saving could make it refuse to start. That earlier workout is still saved to Apple Health.
Your phone now waits longer for a slow Apple Watch to start. If the watch still misses the start, the screen shows it and your coach tells you. Before, this could pass without a word.
You can now ask your coach, or an AI assistant you connect, to mute followers' voice messages, their typed cheers, or all their messages. Muting voice messages still lets typed cheers through, and muting both voice and typed messages still lets your coach tell you when someone starts following you.
On Android phones, the keyboard no longer covers the box for typing a cheer on the page where followers watch your run.

Build 273 · 23 October 2026

A second look at every plan, and no more skipped workouts

Before a plan your coach builds reaches you, it is now checked against what you said in your planning talk. It must keep your training days, rest day, days a week, long-run day and start date, and put every race you named on its date. Any weekly total, peak week, longest run or pace it mentions must match the workouts themselves.
A second, independent reviewer then reads each plan against your last eight weeks, your past races, your health notes and your answers. Each point it raises is fixed or explained before you see the plan. When something was changed, your coach tells you in the chat in your own numbers, and it shows as an A second look card.
Your coach now reads your imported workout history as it arrives, from the last week up to all of it, and keeps notes on it without messaging you. Before, it looked at your history only once you started a planning talk.
When a workout from Apple Health is slow to upload, it is now sent again on the next try. Before, such a workout could be skipped and never appear in Jaksa.

Build 272 · 23 October 2026

A new Plan tab, a bigger coach on your run, and age grades

The Plan tab is now your plan, read like a timetable: your goal, the way to it, the season as a bar of weeks coloured by how hard each is, its phases, three paces, then a card for each week to race day marked with a tick, a dash or a cross, and Start on today's workout. A cross appears only when a key session was missed. The coach card, the six pace tiles and Whole plan are gone.
Opening a week shows what was planned beside what you ran, and Calendar opens the month. A workout now starts with why it was chosen and draws its steps as coloured blocks. A plan your coach offers you shows as the same page, dashed, with Keep and Change. On jaksa.run, My plan shows the season and paces, the month, and the chosen day side by side.
Outdoors, a workout now opens on a page with your coach's orb alone, larger, named Your coach, with the microphone, Pause and the close button under it. Your own pages follow. Every round button now has a word under it saying what a tap does. The microphone and the close button now sit at opposite ends of the controls row, and the small orb, which did nothing when tapped, is gone from it.
Jaksa now tells you when a result is exceptional for your age and sex, using the published age-grading tables: regional, national or world class, never a percentage. Your workout page in the app and on jaksa.run shows a badge naming the class, or asks once for your birth year and sex, with Rather not say. The app can also read these from Apple Health, but what you tell it always comes first.
When your coach builds a plan, the chat card on your phone and on jaksa.run, the plan banner and the voice goodbye now say it takes about five minutes and that you do not need to wait. You get an email when it is ready. Before, you only saw a spinner.
Everything said in a voice talk, by you and by your coach, is now kept, and your plan is built from all of it. Before, your coach's own words were not kept and what you said near the end of a talk could be lost.

Build 271 · 23 October 2026

Draw a route on your phone, and a Bluetooth crash fixed

The Route sheet on the ready screen now has Draw one on the map, like the route builder on jaksa.run. Tap points on the map and Jaksa finds a way on foot between them, then shows the length, the climbing and the turns.
While drawing you can lead the route back to the start, undo a point or clear them all, then give the route a name and choose whether your next workout follows it. Before, you could only draw a route on jaksa.run or with an AI assistant you connect.
Your tapped points always show on the map, above your own position, and the line always follows your latest points, never an earlier version. If you close the sheet while a route is saving, it is still saved and set for your workout.
If choosing a route fails after you have saved one, your saved route is put back.
Jaksa no longer crashes when it searches for a treadmill and hears a nearby Bluetooth device that announces no services. Before, such a device could close the app.

Build 270 · 23 October 2026

One race estimate everywhere, and pods that change place

Your race estimate is now the same everywhere: Progress, the road to your race, the Plan tab, Whole plan, your coach's voice walk-through, jaksa.run and an AI assistant you connect. It comes from your best stretch of 3 km or more in the last 8 weeks. Before, the Plan tab could say about 4:31:22 while the planning chat said 3:35.
The paces named in your planned workouts now come from that same estimate, so they match across the app and jaksa.run. Workouts you have already done keep the paces they were run at, and a plan your coach offers you uses your paces as they are now. Before, the paces could disagree in three different ways.
When your estimate changes, the change is kept and your coach tells you about it in your own numbers. An older estimate no longer comes back in its place.
The Plan tab now shows the way to your goal: today, then your test runs and races by date, then the goal itself, with a short note beneath. A test run or race leaves this view only once its day is over.
When the app moves a pod to another of its usual places, for example from your back to your right shoe, the pod now shows as connected there. Before, your coach could say straight away that both pods had not connected, and the device list could show the right shoe as missing for minutes.
Your coach now waits a minute after a pod leaves a place before calling that place missing. The five-minute reminder about a missing sensor now comes at least 2 minutes after the last such line, so you do not hear it twice in a row.

Build 269 · 23 October 2026

A soft breath while your coach works something out

When your coach needs longer to work out an answer, in the app or in a voice talk on jaksa.run, you now hear a soft breath, now and then with a light chime, so you know it is still with you. Before, it could go silent for ten seconds or more after its first few words.
The first breath comes about 1.5 seconds after your coach's first few words if no answer has come yet, then every 3 to 4 seconds, never the same breath twice in a row. It stops the moment the answer comes, you speak or the talk ends, and your music is not turned down for it.
The breathing never plays over your coach's answer, and switching your coach's voice off, in the app or on jaksa.run, stops it at once.

Build 268 · 23 October 2026

Heart-rate straps used by other apps, and a busy microphone explained

During a workout, Jaksa now also finds a heart-rate strap that another app on your phone is already connected to, such as Strava or Polar Flow. Before, such a strap could go unheard because it may stop announcing itself while another app holds it.
When your phone wakes a closed Jaksa in the background, the app no longer crashes, so the import from Apple Health now runs there as well. Before, it stopped every time within two seconds.
If you tap the mic on the home screen while a call or a recording is using the microphone, your coach now waits up to 5 seconds and starts without another tap if the other app lets go. Otherwise it says "Another app is using the microphone. End it and tap again." with a Try again button that reopens the same talk, so Ideas stays Ideas. Before, the tap did nothing and said nothing.
A voice chat shows the same words when the microphone is busy, and so does jaksa.run when your browser cannot get the microphone. A workout you start meanwhile still records, and if you hang up, leave the screen or start a workout during the wait, your coach does not switch on behind you.

Build 267 · 23 October 2026

Resume an ended workout, and set the volume by voice

Ending a workout now never asks "End workout?", wherever you end it, including without your coach's voice or on a treadmill with no distance. When you ask your coach to end a workout, it ends it straight away instead of asking whether you are sure.
If you end a workout by mistake, the menu beside the date on the finished screen now holds Resume workout, which carries the workout on. It stays there with no time limit for as long as the finished screen shows, with or without your coach's voice, and goes away once you tap Done, start another workout or sign out. An AI assistant you connect can also resume it on your open phone.
A resumed workout that already went to Strava keeps the copy Strava has and is not posted there a second time.
You can now ask your coach during a workout to make the phone louder or quieter, or to set a level. It changes what the side buttons would change and tells you the new level, for example "Volume up, now 80%". Before, it told you to use the side buttons.
On a treadmill, your coach now asks what the treadmill shows at most once per workout, and not again if the app restarts mid-workout. Before, it could ask "what does it show now?" again after each kilometre you corrected it. While the treadmill is not connected and your steps are counting, your coach goes by your steps instead of asking.

Build 266 · 23 October 2026

Live sharing on by default, and fewer silent pauses from your coach

"Share every workout live" is now on for every account, so the runners who follow you can follow each workout as it happens. New accounts start with it on, and existing accounts have been switched on too. You can still turn it off in Settings, on jaksa.run, or by asking your coach or an AI assistant you connect.
When your coach needs a moment to work something out, during a workout or in a voice chat such as making your plan, it now says a few words that show it heard you. Before, it often went quiet while it worked or said it was checking.

Build 265 · 23 October 2026

Praise for holding pace uphill, and voice starts only on a tap

Your coach no longer starts talking by itself when you open the app with earbuds in. On the home screen the voice now starts only when you tap the mic, Ideas or Make your plan. Before, it greeted you every time you came back to the app. A running workout keeps its voice as before.
When a kilometre climbs clearly more than the ones before it and you stay within 5 seconds per kilometre of their pace, your coach now praises it in that kilometre's check-in, for example "five-ten, and you held it up 30 metres of climbing". How much climb it takes depends on how chatty you set your coach, and a silent coach says nothing.
On the workout page in the app and on jaksa.run, including workouts of runners you follow, such a kilometre's climb now carries a lime tick and stays on one line. A kilometre timed across a GPS gap, or whose climb came from GPS heights rather than the barometer, gets no tick. VoiceOver reads the climb in metres.
In Friends and on a runner's profile, a tap anywhere on a workout card now opens the workout. Before, only the title and the map did. Kudos, the comment box and Post keep their own taps, even while they are busy.
On jaksa.run, a click anywhere on a workout card now opens the workout's page, except on a link, button or text box, or when you are selecting text. Before, only the map and the numbers did.

Build 264 · 23 October 2026

Coach as a phone call is back, and the clock starts at Start

Settings has a "Coach as a phone call" switch again, off by default. You can also change it on the jaksa.run settings page, where it acts on your phone, or by asking your coach or an AI assistant you connect. With it off, everything works as before.
With the switch on, a workout started on your Apple Watch can have your coach speak from a locked phone in your pocket, and squeezing your AirPods mutes your coach even if you put them in before Start. Hanging up on the call screen turns your coach off for that workout, and while you take another phone call your coach waits and says what it still had to say once that call ends.
The workout clock now counts from the moment you press Start, standing time included, whether you start on your phone, your Apple Watch, by voice, on a treadmill or from Garmin. Before, a workout could pause if you had not set off within 20 seconds, and asked after five minutes whether you were going. Auto-pause after your first steps works as before.
GPS drift while you stand still is no longer taken for your first steps. Your first steps now count only once you move at running pace.
A route you ask your coach to plan, such as one from here that ends 300 metres before home, now starts being planned the moment you ask and is ready sooner, often in under half a minute. Before, planning could wait a minute or more before it began, then take about another minute.

Build 263 · 23 October 2026

Photos on the map, and lab results in About me

On jaksa.run, a workout's map now marks where each photo was taken, on your own workouts and on those of runners you follow. Hovering over or tapping a photo rings its spot, and tapping a spot opens the photo.
Runners who follow you can now see where your photos were taken, except photos taken indoors, in the hidden first or last 200 m, or within 200 m of where you really started or finished. The photo itself still carries no location.
An AI assistant you connect now gets each photo on a followed runner's workout with its minute, kilometre and place, instead of only a count of photos.
About me can now hold lab results that matter for sport, such as signs of dehydration, with the reading, where it came from and the day it was taken. You can add them in the app, on jaksa.run or through an AI assistant you connect, and your coach takes them into account in your plan as it does injuries.
Your coach now keeps what you tell it that bears on your training, not only what you ask it to keep. Something with no bearing on sport is not kept, and your coach says so in one line.

Build 262 · 23 October 2026

On a treadmill, your chest strap now fills in your cadence

On a treadmill, the cadence box now shows the steps your chest strap counts when nothing else sends cadence. Before, the box stayed empty and the workout saved no cadence. A foot pod, your watch or the treadmill still comes first, and a strap that is not yours counts nothing.
That cadence is saved with the workout, so it appears on the workout page, on jaksa.run and to an AI assistant you connect.
While your chest strap is counting your steps on a treadmill, auto-pause now knows you are still moving.
Asking your coach to correct a kilometre on the treadmill, such as "kilometre 5 at 5:30", is now always taken as the treadmill reading: 5 km for the workout so far at 5:30 per kilometre, in any wording or language. Before, your coach sometimes said it could not change a kilometre in the middle of a workout.
If the same treadmill correction reaches your phone twice within two minutes, it now counts once. Before, setting 7 km twice could take distance back off your workout. The same distance with a new pace still counts, for example after the belt has stopped.

Build 261 · 23 October 2026

After a workout, the home screen now says today's workout is done

When you finish a workout with no plan, with a plan you have not accepted yet, or on a free day, the home screen now greets you with "Nice one, that's today's workout done". Before, it could greet you seconds later with "no plan yet, an easy jog would do today".
Your coach now knows about the workout you just finished. Before, right after a workout, it could be told you had no workouts yet.
On those days the Start button and your Apple Watch now say "Start run" and "A free run" instead of suggesting an easy jog. With no plan, your watch shows "Workout done" once today's workout is finished.
The home screen still knows today's workout is done after you go to Settings and come back. If someone else signs in to Jaksa on the same phone that day, their home screen does not count your workout.
Tapping today on the week strip says "Today's workout is done." once the workout appears in your workouts. In the first moments after you finish, it can still say "No workout yet today".

Build 260 · 23 October 2026

Workouts with one impossible reading now come in from Apple Health

Workouts from Apple Health that held one impossible cadence or power reading now arrive in Jaksa without that reading. Before, a single cadence reading over 400 steps a minute turned the whole workout away, and it was never imported.
After this update, your phone reads your Apple Health history again once, so workouts that were skipped this way now appear in your workouts.
For a stretch where your steps add up to more than 400 a minute, the workout now shows no cadence instead of an impossible number.

Build 259 · 23 October 2026

Your coach can now switch you to a new route mid-run

During a workout, your coach can now put you on a new route they have made, and your phone starts following it within about half a minute. Before, your coach could only lengthen, shorten or drop the route you were on, so a better route never reached your phone and it kept telling you that you were off route.
When the new route starts, the voice tells you its name, its length and its first turn.
If you ask for a new route during a workout, your coach now makes it and puts it on straight away, without first asking you to confirm. Before, a separate planner started making it in the background.
While your coach is putting a new route on during a workout, an AI assistant you connect cannot change your route and is told why. This lasts up to 10 minutes or until the new route is on.

Build 258 · 23 October 2026

Your phone no longer shares your heart rate as Jaksa HR

During treadmill workouts, your phone no longer offers your heart rate to nearby equipment as Jaksa HR. Before, it could present itself as a heart-rate strap for the whole workout, even with no treadmill linked, and anyone nearby could read your heart rate without pairing.
This stays off even when a treadmill is linked, because a treadmill console that takes the heart rate can stop your phone from controlling the belt.
The Bluetooth permission Jaksa asks for on your iPhone no longer says it passes your heart rate to the treadmill.
The Devices screen, the guide and the guide for an AI assistant you connect no longer say that a switch there stops Jaksa HR.

Build 257 · 23 October 2026

Home is now three tabs: Friends, Plan and Me

In the app, home now has three tabs in one row: Friends, Plan and Me. Before, your plan showed up in several places, your progress sat two levels down, and this week's distance appeared three times. Friends no longer has a plan card, only a short line to make your plan with your coach if you have none, and Following now is there; Me holds Progress, each of your dashboards with Edit, Ask your coach, and then your workouts.
The Plan tab shows your plan's state in one line, today's workout, this week's distance against its target (such as 51.4 of 60 km) with the week strip, what is coming up and the plan itself. With no plan, it also shows your goal race. Tapping a day with a workout opens that workout in your list on Me.
The Plan tab's label adds a word when there is news: ready while a new plan waits for you to keep or turn down, writing while your coach writes it, and question when your coach is waiting for your answer. The app opens on Plan once for each new plan, and after you choose No plan for me, the No plan yet card stays away.
On jaksa.run, the top bar is now Friends, My plan and Me. This week, Today, Next up and Your race have moved from Friends to the top of My plan, where your race's forecast and Road to the race are linked under the week. Your coach is now reached from the menu under your picture.
On the plan's Your paces card, in the app and on jaksa.run, the four pace numbers are now teal like pace everywhere else, instead of white. The card now says test run, week 4 instead of trial wk 4, and the weeks chart says Test run instead of Trial.
In your followers list, Follows you now moves onto its own line when there is no room beside a tester label. Before, it ran under the Following and Remove buttons and was cut off.

Map and photos first on every workout page

In the app, a workout's page, yours or a friend's, now opens with its route map even when it has no photos, as it already did with the photo map. A workout with no GPS route no longer shows an empty box at the top.
On jaksa.run, a workout's photos now sit just under its name and include its videos. Tapping one opens it full size, where you can swipe or use the arrows to move between them, and videos play.
On the workout map in the app, tapping a photo or video's pin now opens it full screen, and it stays as the corner picture when you close it. Before, the tap only moved that picture into the corner, and you had to tap the corner to open it.
The Beside yours card on a friend's workout is gone, along with the dashed line for your own workout on its charts and map. It often compared their workout with one of yours from somewhere else, so its comparisons did not hold up.
Under Met on workouts on the Devices screen, a footpod or power meter, such as a Stryd or a gym bike trainer, now shows a plain Bluetooth mark, grey once you mark it as not yours. Before, it showed the pink mark used for Polar Verity Sense pods, so it could look like one of your own.

Build 255 · 23 October 2026

Jaksa has its own phone number

Jaksa now has its own phone number, +1 512 675 8414, and calls from your coach come from it, including the call that checks your number. Before, they came from a different number that did not say Jaksa.
If you call that number, you hear a short recorded message from Jaksa and then the call ends.
The number is now at the foot of every page on jaksa.run, on the Help page with a contact card you can save, and on the guide's Settings page.
In the app, Settings, then Phone, now has Add Jaksa to contacts, which opens your phone's new-contact form already filled in.

Build 254 · 22 October 2026

Heart-rate zones that catch up, and fewer false pod warnings

If your coach learned your maximum heart rate rather than you setting it, and you hold above it for 30 seconds during a workout, your zones now move up straight away and your coach tells you once, with the new numbers. Before, a max learned from one short run could bring zone 5 warnings for twenty minutes. Readings from a pause, or a short spike another sensor disagrees with, do not count, and the new zones stay if you resume a workout.
With motion pods, your coach no longer says a pod you usually wear has not connected while your phone is still working out where each pod sits, which can take up to three minutes after you start. A chest strap or footpod is still checked after a minute. Your coach now says only what has not connected, never whose fault it is, and does not repeat the same line.
Your coach can now give you 14 exercises for common running injuries, such as the Copenhagen plank, eccentric heel drop, clamshell, Spanish squat and tibialis raise, each with a short demo video. Before, it gave you the closest exercise it had instead. A few of them need a resistance band or a ball.

Build 253 · 22 October 2026

Stretching routines, and a clearer way to switch your coach off

Jaksa now has three short stretching routines: five minutes for after a run, ten for a rest day and two minutes of leg swings for before a run, with each move shown in a short looping video. The Stretching screen in the app and jaksa.run/stretching play a routine with a countdown and a spoken cue at each change. You can open one from a link at the foot of your plan or with Play the routine on a planned one, your coach can add one to your plan if you agree, and a page explains what stretching does and does not do.
During a workout, a red round close button now switches your coach off, with Coach off written under it, and a Talk button takes its place to bring the coach back, as in a chat's voice screen. The workout keeps recording throughout. Before, you tapped the orb, which is now only a picture, and the Off choice for how much your coach talks is gone.
On first launch, Jaksa now asks for each permission it still needs on its own screen, including playing your music, and you can skip any of them with Not now. If you have already given everything, you see none of these screens. The full list now lives in Settings under Permissions and updates as soon as you come back from changing something in your phone's Settings.
If you run in miles, a planned workout's title and its Why this one note now read in miles in the app and on jaksa.run, as its steps do. Before, the title could give distances in km and paces per km above steps in miles, and a race named in the note now reads as 10K.
The heart-rate line your coach draws is now orange where you were inside your target zone and pink where you were outside it. Before, the whole line took one colour from your latest reading.
On a workout's page in the app, Save as a TCX file is now called Export workout and opens the same share sheet as before.

Build 252 · 22 October 2026

A waiting plan shows everywhere, and race times read local time

While a plan your coach made is waiting for your yes, This week, Your race and the road-to-race card on jaksa.run, and the progress card in the app, now say so, name the race it builds to and take you to the plan. Before, they said No plan yet or No race set, and your coach and the Today line spoke as if you had no plan.
A plan your coach offered some time ago that never showed up is now found again. In the app, the plan card now scrolls with the page at the top of Me and Plan instead of staying over every tab, and it no longer appears on Friends.
When you keep a plan built around one of your races but the plan does not name that race, the latest race within the plan's dates now becomes its goal. Before, keeping it could leave No race set.
A race's start time on jaksa.run and on the follow link now reads local time. Before, it could name a different city, so a race in Houston read 7:00 Chicago time.
The captions telling you to tap to move the map, on the workout screen and the full-screen map, now have a solid background. Before, place names on the map showed through the words.

Build 251 · 22 October 2026

A cadence ladder for less bounce, and every map now moves

Your coach can now set you a cadence ladder, a step rate a little above your own that rises in small rungs toward about 170 steps a minute to cut bounce, and it always tells you why. With a chest strap or motion pods, on easy, flat, steady minutes after the first five, it plays a beat at your rung for three minutes, as music or a click, pausing your Spotify first, and tells you to step to the beat. A hill or a rep stops it at once.
Your cadence ladder shows as a line on the Form card in the app and on jaksa.run, and you can ask your coach how your bounce is coming along.
Watts per kilo on each workout now use what you weighed that day, taken from your Apple Health weight history and any weight you tell your coach. Before, every past workout's figure changed whenever your weight changed.
Every map in the app can now be dragged and zoomed. A tap opens full screen the map shown after you stop a workout, a planned route or race course with its water and gel stations, a friend's workout you follow live and the little map under a photo, and the map on a card in your Workouts list opens that workout on its map.
In the app, dragging a workout card either way now shows Delete, level with your finger. Before, it worked in only one direction, and on a tall card the word could sit hidden under the Start bar.
On jaksa.run, My plan now shows a plan your coach has offered, where before it said No plan yet, and Keep, the close button and the voice walk-through now work there. Units, cards in a chat answer, a workout's Form and Effort, muted lines and Unmute now also load on the website.

Build 250 · 22 October 2026

Compare a friend's workout with yours, and new Effort and Form cards

On the workout page of someone you follow, in the app and on jaksa.run, a Beside yours card now sets it next to one of your own: who was faster over the distance you both covered, every split side by side, and your pace, heart rate and route drawn on their charts and map. Jaksa picks your closest match, and you can pick another.
Every workout page in the app and on jaksa.run now has an Effort card with Jaksa's estimate of your power in watts and watts per kilo, hill-adjusted pace, heart-rate drift and, with a chest strap, an experimental mark of where easy effort ended. A weight more than 30 days old is now shown as old, and your coach asks once what you weigh now.
Workouts recorded with a chest strap or motion pods now show a Form card with your bounce and cadence against coloured bands, whether your form held to the end, and how your bounce compares with your own workouts at the same speed. On iPhone, bounce and step length also go into Apple Health.
Walk me through it now has your coach talk you through a new plan part by part while the Plan tab or My plan on jaksa.run shows the part being discussed, and you can pause and resume. If you plan without a race, your coach invites you once to pick one from races near where you run.
Your phone now tells you when someone you follow starts a workout shared with their followers or with anyone who has the link. Tapping a workout's map in the app now opens it full screen to drag and zoom. Before, it was a fixed picture.
Saying "end the workout" right after your coach says you reached your goal now ends it, and a line your coach was holding back no longer speaks over you. A second phone of yours no longer starts its own workout from your watch while another is recording, and a footpod or strap that stops sending data is now shown as lost and reconnected.

Build 249 · 22 October 2026

Climbs in your splits, and quicker routes near the end of a workout

When a split is slower than your recent ones because it climbed, the split check-in now says so in the same sentence as the time, with the metres climbed. Before, it gave only the time.
The workout page in the app and on jaksa.run now shows how many metres each split climbed, in its own column.
Asking your coach for a new route with 3 kilometres or 15 minutes or less of your workout left now starts the route straight away without asking you to confirm first, and it is made more quickly. Before, it could take several minutes to arrive.
While your coach is making a route you asked for, or waiting for you to pick one, it no longer changes your route on its own. If you choose another route meanwhile, the one being made is dropped and your coach says so, and choices you no longer need are not read out.
When your heart-rate strap is not found, your coach no longer says a strap can only connect to one thing at a time or tells you to unpair it from another device. Many straps can connect to several devices at once.

Build 248 · 22 October 2026

Your coach now draws on your sporting past when planning

When you plan your training with your coach, it now looks first at your Jaksa workouts, your races and what it knows of your sporting past, brings up what shapes the plan and says where it came from. It only asks what none of these tell it.
On everyday runs your coach may now and then ask one question about your sporting past at a quiet moment, never on two workouts in a row. It remembers your answer for later.
Jaksa now works out your home by itself when most of your outdoor workouts start in the same spot, and saves it with a note saying so. A home you gave yourself is never moved. "Where I started" now always means today's start; before, it could point to an older saved place with that name.
Asking your coach whether anyone is following now answers about the workout on the phone you are running with, even if another phone on your account is recording too. Sharing your live link, emailing it, posting an update and liking a comment also act on that workout.
On Android phones, you can now ask your coach to play a song, artist or playlist by name in your music app when that app supports it. After next, previous, play or pause, your coach now says what is actually playing, or that a song is still loading, instead of just "Next track".

Build 247 · 22 October 2026

Your training plan now has its own page in the app and on jaksa.run

When your coach has a plan ready, the app's new Plan tab and My plan on jaksa.run show it as a page: the race, the weeks by phase, a typical week, your paces and Keep this plan. A card at the top and a notification offer to walk you through it or just show it, and where your plan stands is now the first thing on home and on jaksa.run. A planning talk can also begin while your Apple Health workouts are still being read.
Talking to your coach by voice in the app now shows the coach's orb, which moves one way while the coach speaks and another while you speak, with Mic, Type, Pause and End below it. A planning talk can be paused and picked up where it left off, and it ends by itself once your questions are answered.
Workouts from Apple Health and Health Connect now teach Jaksa your max heart rate and step length, as your Jaksa workouts do. The app reads your history once more to learn from them and shows its progress. Until a race or an interval session sets it, your max heart rate is shown as "at least" a number.
A heart-rate strap, footpod or earbuds belonging to someone near you no longer add anything to your workout. If the app picks up a device it is unsure of, your coach asks once whether you are wearing it, and the Devices screen and My devices on jaksa.run say why each device counts as yours or not. A number from a device that has gone quiet now shows "--" instead of its last value.
After a brief connection drop with nothing missed, your coach now stays silent instead of saying it is back. After a longer one it says how long it was away and where you are. Split check-ins now say what is left of your goal with its unit, such as "3 kilometres to go", and asking to play music on Apple Music instead now switches and starts playing.
You can now delete your own workouts on Friends and on your profile by dragging the card left, holding it, or with VoiceOver, and on jaksa.run with a Delete button and Undo. People you may know now appear as a sideways strip with a close button on each card, and a See all page lists suggestions, follow requests and the requests you sent.

Build 246 · 22 October 2026

Your coach now asks about races you ran before

When you plan your training with your coach, it now asks about races you ran before: the name, when, the distance, your time, how it went and what went wrong. It keeps them and brings them up in your training. Races you recorded with Jaksa are already known, so it does not ask about those.
A race you recorded with Jaksa now counts its time from start to stop including pauses, like a race clock, and all your recorded races are included however many there are. You can also see, add, change or remove your past races through an AI assistant you connect.
On jaksa.run you can now make the coach panel wider by dragging its left edge. The arrow keys move it too, a double-click puts it back to its usual width, and the width is remembered in that browser. It cannot be made narrower than before, and phones and the full chat page are unchanged.
On jaksa.run, closing the conversation list in the coach panel now hides it at the panel's edge. Before, it slid out over the page and left the chat looking cut off beside it.
When you talk to your coach by voice, in the app or on jaksa.run, what you said now stays on screen until the answer arrives. Before, your words disappeared for a moment and came back only with the answer.

Build 245 · 22 October 2026

Your coach now starts quiet and can tell you the time of day

If you are new to Jaksa, your coach now starts at the Quiet talk level instead of Normal. It moves up to Normal once you ask it to talk more, or after two workouts where you talked a lot with it. If you already have a talk level, it stays as it is.
The talk level a workout starts on is now kept if the app closes and you return to the run. Before, it could come back at a different level.
When you ask your coach what time it is, it now gives the time of day on your phone's clock, also while you are paused. Before, it answered with the workout time.
Cadence from your Apple Watch now counts your steps over the last 30 seconds, so it holds steady and appears once 20 seconds of steps are in. Before, a runner at about 158 steps a minute could see 141 or 165. The beat, the cadence playlist and the switch between walking and running all use this steadier figure.
GPS jumps are now left out of your distance even when you run without an Apple Watch. Before, a phone held still indoors could add a few hundred metres in under half a minute.
On Android phones, a rough GPS position now adds distance only once you have moved further than its stated accuracy. Pausing while you are still moving no longer drops your last few metres.

Build 244 · 22 October 2026

Your steps now fill gaps in GPS distance and pace outdoors

Outdoors, when the GPS has had no good position for about 10 seconds, or has not found its first one yet, your steps now carry your distance and pace. Before, only a footpod could fill these gaps.
The steps come from a footpod, your Apple Watch or your phone, and are turned into distance using your own step length, adjusted against your GPS on that run. If you wear a footpod, it still fills the gaps as before.
Where your steps filled in, the run page in the app and on jaksa.run now shows "steps" as the source, with the step length and the GPS adjustment used. Your coach and an AI assistant you connect see this too.
The files your coach keeps for its own work are now all kept between sessions in one folder of yours. Before, only some of them were kept, and only up to a limit.
You can see this folder under "what my coach knows" in the app, on jaksa.run and through an AI assistant you connect. It is erased with your account. The card for it now fits the file count on one line.

Build 243 · 22 October 2026

Average heart rate now leaves out the time you were paused

A workout's average and max heart rate now count only the time you were running, not the minutes you were paused. Before, a long wait at the start could pull the average well down, for example to 147 when the running itself averaged 167.
This applies on the run screen's large heart-rate tile, the finish screen, the workout page and after-run summary in the app, the workout page on jaksa.run, the description sent to Strava, and what an AI assistant you connect sees. Power and cadence already worked this way.
The coach's figures for any part of a run, the laps on a running track, and the maximum heart rate used for your heart zones also leave paused moments out. A peak reached while paused no longer counts as the workout's max.
Workouts saved before this build are being worked out again from their recordings, a few at a time, so their figures may change over the coming days. Only the average and max heart rate change.
Undo trim now works the average and max heart rate out again from the whole recording. Before, it put back the figures kept from before the trim.

Build 242 · 22 October 2026

Nothing new to see in this build

Nothing in this build changes what you see or do in the app or on jaksa.run. Your coach, your runs and your settings work exactly as they did in the previous build.

Build 241 · 22 October 2026

The coach now finds parks and places you ask for by name

When you ask the coach for a place and say what it is near, for example "Cișmigiu park near University Square", it now finds it. Before, the whole phrase was searched as one name and often nothing came back. The nearby place now only helps choose between matches within about 2 km of it.
When a park, lake, garden or forest shares its name with a district, the coach now picks the park, lake, garden or forest.
A name the coach misheard, or one with a letter or two wrong or said without its accents, is now matched against popular running places within 15 km of you. So a misheard "Mijiu park" still finds Cișmigiu.
A name that matches a whole word in a place's name now comes before one that only matches part of a word. Names such as "Walk by the River" keep their "by the".
A place the coach once could not find is now looked up again the next day. Before, it stayed "not found" for a month.

Build 240 · 22 October 2026

Treadmill distance from your chest strap, and a Units setting

On a treadmill, the chest strap the app uses for your heart rate, or a pod on your back or shoe, now counts your steps. Each step is measured at your own step length at that cadence, learnt from steady, flat stretches of your outdoor runs with GPS. Before, a phone left on the shelf counted almost nothing, so a 43-minute treadmill run could be saved as 74 m.
Until your own step length is learnt, a standard estimate is used. The workout page in the app and on jaksa.run shows which step length was used.
On a treadmill the app cannot connect to, with no foot pod, the coach now offers its own estimate after 3 minutes of steady running, for example "I make it about 11 km/h, is that what you set?". A yes or a single number is enough. Before, it asked what the treadmill screen showed and often got no answer.
The coach asks this once per workout. Your answer corrects the distance from that moment on and is kept for later treadmill runs. With no answer, the distance stays the estimate from your steps.
Settings now has a Units card where you choose Metric, Imperial, or a mix set kind by kind. It is the same choice the coach makes when you ask it, and jaksa.run has the same card.
Settings now opens already filled in from your last saved details instead of waiting to load, and its explanations are about a third as long.

Build 239 · 22 October 2026

Steadier pace and distance, and a Call me button that works

Pace and distance now come mainly from your steps and your own step length, which the app keeps learning from GPS while the signal is good. When GPS drops out, under trees, between tall buildings or on a treadmill, the numbers stay close: a 15-minute loss of GPS now costs at most about 1.3% of the distance, and treadmill runs land within about 2%.
On Apple Watch, Call me now appears only when the coach can actually ring your phone. Otherwise the watch shows one line saying what is missing: calls are not turned on yet, or your phone number still needs adding or confirming in Settings, Phone. Before, the button could appear when no call could go through, and every press failed.
While a call is already on its way, whether you asked for it or the coach is ringing by itself, the watch now says "Jaksa is calling you now." instead of offering another call. Until the watch hears back whether a call is possible, it says it is asking.

Build 238 · 22 October 2026

Messages from the coach after you stop a workout now reach you

After you stop a workout, anything the coach still has to tell you now reaches you. If you are still talking with the coach after the run, it says it aloud. Otherwise it appears at once as the coach's message in that workout's conversation, with a notification on your phone.
Before, such a message could wait unseen and then be lost. For example, a question about a treadmill run's distance went unasked, so a long run could stay saved as a few metres.
If the after-run talk ends before the coach gets to say something, that message now goes to the workout's conversation instead. Each message reaches you once, either spoken or in the app.

Build 237 · 22 October 2026

No changes you can see in this build

This build adds nothing new to see or use in the app or on jaksa.run. Everything in it is work behind the scenes, so it runs the same as the previous build.

Build 236 · 22 October 2026

Home becomes Friends and Me, and the coach's chat is rebuilt

The home pages are now Friends, with everyone's workouts including yours, and Me, with your week, Today's card, what is coming up and a Workouts or Progress switch over your list; jaksa.run's bar matches. Tapping a followed runner's workout now opens the whole workout page with the first and last 200 m of the route hidden, and tapping a profile picture opens it full screen.
All your coach chats and workout talks are now in one list that slides in from the left, with search. Each chat shows Answering, Needs you or New, and your phone tells you when the coach answers or has a question. Answers can include cards for a workout, plan week, weather or race, small links to the study or workout behind a claim, tables and reply buttons, with Copy, Read aloud and Retry underneath; you can copy or edit your own messages.
You can now talk to the coach in the chat with the voice button where Send is, and Make your plan opens a voice chat that builds your plan from the whole conversation. A new setting, How the coach listens, offers hands-free, ignore other voices, or push to talk, where you hold the mic button to speak.
Progress has a Fitness card with your VO2 max, hour power in watts per kg and easy pace per heartbeat month by month, and Dashboards, tabs of your own numbers the coach builds with you. Workouts are judged by what the planned day was for, not pace to the second, so the week reads like "1 of 2 hard done, long run to go". Efforts slower than 30:00 per km no longer count as records or longest runs.
You can ask the coach to stop a kind of message, such as GPS warnings, for one workout or for good, and jaksa.run's workout page lists what went unsaid with Unmute for good. Alerts and reminders you set go only when you name them, the coach no longer says "done" for things it did not do, and before a run it can suggest two or three workouts by mood and start the one you pick, route included.
With Start and stop with my Garmin's workouts on, Jaksa offers to start whenever the watch begins an activity and ends your workout when the watch ends it, and a Garmin connected to the phone counts as yours without a tap. A connected strap now shows as a strap, not a heart, and the Strava waiting notification goes once you say yes by voice.

Build 235 · 21 October 2026

The app opens on Timeline, and every workout can be shared live

The app now opens on Timeline, which shows your own workouts among those of the runners you follow, and the home pages are Timeline, Progress and Workouts in that order. To delete a workout, drag its card to the left instead of to the right.
A new Live sharing setting, in the app's Settings and on My workouts at jaksa.run, shares every workout live as it starts, with anyone who has the link, your followers or people you name. The coach tells you who is watching, such as "Ana and two guests are watching", or only when you ask, and you can like a single cheer or comment by voice, in the app or on jaksa.run.
Run, Walk and Treadmill now sit above Start, and tapping Start alone just goes. End workout now ends with one tap while the coach is on the line, and if you stopped by mistake the coach can carry on the same workout or start a new one for you.
The Bluetooth and ANT+ switch in Devices is gone: every workout now listens for heart rate over Bluetooth, and the coach tells you a minute in if none is coming instead of only after you stop. Sensors Jaksa has not met before are connected on trial until it is sure they are yours, and you can mark them Mine or Not mine under Met on workouts in Devices, on My devices at jaksa.run, or by telling the coach mid-run.
The coach now answers sooner after you finish speaking, reads every waiting cheer in the language it was written in, and can tell you today's steps and active calories from Apple Health. A heart rate reading that another sensor contradicts no longer counts toward your max.
Records now count every workout Jaksa knows of, including ones imported from Apple Health, so a workout is no longer called a best when you have run faster before. If your Strava link stops working, the workout shows Not sent with a one-tap Reconnect Strava, and saying "not yet" to the coach keeps the upload waiting until you agree.

Build 234 · 21 October 2026

Your route is now recorded when you lock the phone at the start

If you ask the coach for a run and lock your phone straight away, your route is now recorded from the start. Before, the phone could refuse location while Jaksa was in the background, and the first minute or two of the run had no route until you opened the phone again.
GPS now starts the moment you ask for a workout, so it is ready when the run begins, and only positions from the start count. If the phone briefly refuses location, Jaksa keeps asking every few seconds until it has a position, instead of waiting.
On your first workout, when you allow location access, GPS starts right then while Jaksa is still on screen, instead of only when the workout begins.

Build 233 · 21 October 2026

Finding runners now works across alphabets

Searching for a runner by name now matches across Cyrillic and Latin letters, so typing Яна also finds Yana.
People you may know, under the search box, is now filled out with other runners on Jaksa once it has shown your followers you do not follow back and runners followed by the people you follow.

Build 232 · 21 October 2026

Race courses now show aid stations and call out what lies ahead

Race courses now show their aid stations on the course map and the live map in the app, and on My routes at jaksa.run.
On a race course, the phone tells you ahead of each aid station how long you have until you reach it at your current pace, and you can ask the coach where the next water is. Alert sets you saved earlier gain this new alert, a set you made silent stays silent, and alerts you turned off stay off.
The coach now tells you ahead of time about climbs, tunnels, bridges, stretches with poor GPS, unpaved sections, sharp turns, turnarounds, halfway and the last kilometre, and answers "what's next on the course?". In tunnels it holds back pace alerts and off-the-route warnings.
If you ask the coach for a race's course during a workout, you now get that course from its own start, or the coach says it knows the race but not its course yet. Before, it answered that there was no route and planned one from where you stood. It also now picks the race whose name you said, not another race in a town with a similar name.
The Lap button and the Lap and stop widget are gone from the workout screen, including from layouts you saved, and those pages still end with End workout. A planned step that lasts until you say so now ends when you tell the coach, and its card says so. Kilometre splits, track laps and planned steps work as before.

Build 231 · 21 October 2026

Find runners by name, and make your profile private if you like

You can now find runners by name with a search box on the timeline and on the list of runners you follow, in the app and on jaksa.run. Any part of a name works, in any case and with or without accents. Under the box you see people you may know: first your followers you do not follow back, then runners followed by the people you follow.
Your profile can now be private, with a switch on your profile and in the app's Settings. Others still find you by name, but their Follow button becomes Ask to follow, and until you approve they see only your photo and name, not your counts, follower lists, town or workouts. You approve or decline requests on your own profile.
Making a private profile public again approves every request still waiting, and any runner can now remove a follower. New accounts start public, as on Strava. An AI assistant you connect can also search for runners, answer follow requests and change this setting for you.
A planned treadmill workout now starts as a treadmill workout even if you did not pick Treadmill. The coach gives the first belt speed and counts distance from the start. Before, it began as an outdoor workout, nothing counted for the first minutes and the phone asked whether you were on a treadmill, while a run you ask the coach to start by voice still starts outdoors.
Once you have connected an AI assistant, Progress and Workouts no longer suggest connecting one, and the assistant itself is told not to suggest it. Settings now lists your assistants without links, instead of a line that could say connected and disconnected at once.

Build 230 · 21 October 2026

Opening Devices in Settings no longer closes the app

Opening Devices in Settings no longer closes the app if your phone knows a footpod or has picked one up nearby. In recent builds the app shut the moment you opened that page. Each footpod there again shows a short line on what the phone last found, such as that it is on its charger or could not be reached.

Build 229 · 21 October 2026

Behind-the-scenes work only, nothing new to see in this build

This build changes nothing you can see or do in the app or on jaksa.run. Your runs, plan, coach and settings work just as they did in the previous build.

Build 228 · 21 October 2026

The coach no longer offers an outdoor running place on a treadmill

When a workout turns out to be on a treadmill, the coach no longer suggests a nearby place to run outdoors. Before, a planned treadmill workout started without the treadmill setting could still get such an offer about five minutes in. Now the coach holds back if the plan is a treadmill one, the treadmill connects during the workout, or your GPS has barely moved, and the place stays available for a later run.
A footpod no longer makes a treadmill workout look like an outdoor one, because the coach now checks how far your GPS itself has moved. If the "on a treadmill?" question was never actually spoken, because you started moving or the coach was switched off, it no longer stops the coach from suggesting a running place when you are in fact outdoors.
If you go back into a workout after it was cut off, the coach now still knows which planned workout you were doing. Before, that link to your plan was lost.
jaksa.run now has a help page at jaksa.run/support, and the privacy page now says how long your data is kept. Jaksa is free for everyone while in testing, so the "price coming" spot no longer appears on any page.
When an AI assistant you connect is about to remove, cancel, overwrite or send something in Jaksa, such as changing or deleting an entry in your health record, it is now told that the step cannot be undone, so it can ask you first.

Build 227 · 21 October 2026

Treadmill runs now count distance from your watch or phone

On a treadmill run started indoors, with no treadmill connection and no footpod, Jaksa now counts distance and pace from your Apple Watch's indoor distance, or from your iPhone's own step counting if you run without the watch. Before, the distance only moved on when you told the coach the treadmill's figure.
Your run in the app and on jaksa.run now says what measured the distance of an indoor run: the treadmill, your footpod, your Apple Watch or your iPhone.
When you correct the distance of an indoor run to the treadmill's figure, Jaksa now remembers how far off that source was and applies the difference on your next indoor run. This works for your watch, your phone and your footpod.
A new page, About me / health, in Settings and at jaksa.run/health, keeps your injuries, conditions, medication and life circumstances in a private record. You or an AI assistant you connect can add to it, but nothing is kept until you agree, it never shows on your profile or to followers, and it is deleted with your account.
Your coach now asks once about past injuries, plans around them and around your health record, and says in your plan what it changed because of which entry.
Links in a planned workout's notes can now be tapped in the app and on jaksa.run, and a YouTube link shows as "video". Each exercise in a strength workout now comes with its video.

Build 226 · 21 October 2026

Workouts planned elsewhere now show up without reopening Jaksa

You can now pull down on the Workouts list to load your plan again. A workout planned with an AI assistant you connect appears there without closing and reopening Jaksa. Before, the plan only reloaded when you brought Jaksa back to the front.
If Jaksa cannot load your plan, feed, progress or coming workouts, for example just after you unlock your phone, it now tries once more on its own a few seconds later. Before, it waited until the next time you opened the app.
The weather now appears without waiting for your coming workouts to load, and newer weather can no longer be replaced by an older forecast.

Build 225 · 21 October 2026

Spotify now explains a refused connection under its own button

If Spotify refuses to connect your account to Jaksa, the reason now appears right under the Spotify button in the Music card in Settings. Before, it showed at the top of Settings, far from where you were looking, so the connection could seem stuck.
The message now says that Spotify did not let this account into Jaksa, rather than that there was no more room. It tells you what to do next: tell the coach in the chat the email you use for Spotify to ask for a place.
The message also mentions that Apple Music on iPhone has no such limit. It no longer suggests Apple Music while Jaksa's access to Apple Music is turned off on your iPhone.
Other connection problems still appear at the top of Settings, as before.

Build 224 · 21 October 2026

Behind-the-scenes work, nothing new to see in the app

This build brings no changes you can see or use in the app or on jaksa.run. Your runs, workouts and coach work just as they did in the previous build.

Build 223 · 21 October 2026

Carrying on a cut-off workout from the lock screen works properly

If a workout was cut off and you carry it on from the lock screen without opening Jaksa, the run now records as usual, with GPS, time and heart rate, and pause and resume work. Before, the run carried on but every pause and resume failed.
In that case the workout in Apple Health now begins the first time you bring Jaksa to the front, and it starts paused if your run is paused at that moment.

Build 222 · 21 October 2026

The coach's praise now matches the effort you actually made

When you ask the coach to end a workout, it now says "Ending the workout." Before, it always said "Ending the run. Well done.", and any praise now comes in the summary afterwards.
After a workout far easier than your usual, such as a short walk on a day you also ran hard, the coach no longer praises it, and neither do the title and note written for that workout. This is judged against your own recent workouts of every kind, not one fixed number for everybody.
If your heart rate sensor drops out and covers less than half the workout, the coach no longer judges your effort from it. Before, a strap lost early could leave a hard run treated as easy, so it got no praise.
When you tell the coach about a problem with a workout, it is now reported once rather than twice. The coach no longer offers to pass on something already reported; it tells you it has been passed on, and a new detail you give is added to that same report.

Build 221 · 21 October 2026

Behind-the-scenes work, nothing new to see in the app

This build brings no changes you can see or use in the app or on jaksa.run. Your runs, workouts and coach work just as they did in the previous build.

Build 220 · 20 October 2026

Workouts keep every kilometre split again

A workout now keeps a split for every kilometre or mile you run, right to the end. Before, splits stopped being recorded once you passed the first kilometre, so the rest of the run had none.

Build 219 · 20 October 2026

Planned workout steps show missed reps with one small mark

In a finished planned workout, the steps table now shows each rep's pace in teal, like every other pace on the page. Before, a pace was lime when on target and amber when off.
A rep that missed its target now has a small amber mark beside its pace, such as "+5". A rep on target has no mark, and skipped steps stay dim as before.
At the largest text size, the pace is shortened to make room, so the amber mark on a missed rep is never cut off.

Build 218 · 20 October 2026

Workout chat that keeps up with your coach

During a workout, the chat now keeps moving to your coach's newest line as it arrives, even while a long line is still appearing. Before, it could stop following partway through and stay put for the rest of the run.
Swiping on the conversation now scrolls the conversation. Before, the page around it could bounce and take your swipe, even when everything fit on the screen.
When you scroll back to read earlier lines, the chat stays there for as long as your finger rests on it, and follows new lines again once you scroll back down to the end. If your phone loses the end of a swipe, the chat no longer stays stuck: it goes back to following new lines after 8 seconds without movement.

Build 217 · 20 October 2026

Automation cards say their time in plain words

An automation card in the app now says when it runs in plain words, such as "Every Sunday at 18:00", in your phone's own time zone. Before, it showed the time zone's code name in brackets, such as "(Europe/Sofia)".
The time zone is named only when the automation runs in a different one from your phone, as in "18:00 Sofia time", and a zone set as a fixed offset from UTC now shows the right number of hours ahead or behind. Two names for your phone's own zone no longer add a label, while a zone that changes its clocks on different days from yours is still named.

Build 216 · 20 October 2026

One voice for your coach, and runs started on your watch

During a workout, everything your coach says now comes as its own words. Before, some lines began "The head coach says…", and a note meant only for the coach, such as "say this as your own words", was sometimes read aloud with them. Only when you ask the head coach something and hear "I've asked" does the answer come as the head coach's.
A workout started on your watch is now one workout. The run, its clock and its file begin when the watch started, and the distance the watch counted before your phone joined is added. A late GPS point from before that no longer counts on top, and your coach knows the watch's distance at once.
Your coach no longer says your heart-rate strap is missing while your watch, AirPods or treadmill are sending heart rate, and the red sensor icon goes away. If you have spoken since the first reminder about your usual sensor, it is not repeated at five minutes.

Build 215 · 20 October 2026

Race goal chances on jaksa.run, and pods that find their place

On jaksa.run the road page has a new box, "How likely is your goal?", giving your chance of reaching your marathon goal from your own runs and your plan over the 8 weeks before race day, with the assumptions behind it. The home page race box shows it in one line, it covers the marathon only for now, and an AI assistant you connect can ask for the same number.
You can wear your motion pods anywhere, on a shoe, your back or your arm, and Jaksa works out from their movement where each one is and which foot a shoe pod is on, naming a place only once it is 95% sure. Settings, Devices says how each pod was placed and how sure Jaksa is, lights Left shoe and Right shoe half while the foot is not settled, and a place you tap there wins for that workout.
Jaksa now reads your footpod's speed and distance. On a treadmill it cannot hear, your distance counts on from the pod, and outdoors after 10 seconds without a good GPS fix, in a tunnel for example, the pod's distance and pace fill in until the GPS is back. Your run page on jaksa.run says where the distance came from.
When you wear more than one heart-rate sensor, your coach now compares them as you run. If one drifts or reads double, it can switch to another for a stretch or the rest of the workout and tells you so, and if the sensor it chose goes quiet you are told that too.
An alert you set yourself, such as heart rate over 175, now shows in red during a workout where it used to be lime, the colour of buttons, and your own reminders show in amber. A reminder that needs heart rate, power or cadence now says when you set it if no sensor is sending that number, and one cancelled by your coach or an AI assistant you connect is mentioned once with the reason, instead of repeatedly.
On the Workouts tab the swipe row of cards runs to the screen edge, so the second card peeks in instead of being cut mid-word. On the full map the countdown back to your workout now sits above the Back to the workout button instead of covering the Apple Maps logo, and when your coach runs a calculation in the chat, the step says in plain words what it does.

Build 214 · 20 October 2026

Timeline and runner profiles in the app, and steadier heart rate

The app has a third page, Timeline, beside Workouts and Progress, like the one on jaksa.run. It shows who is running now with a way to watch them live, and workout cards with their map, full-screen photos, kudos, the newest two comments and a box to add your own. Tap a face or name to open that runner's profile in the app or on jaksa.run, with their town, follower lists, a Follow, Following or Follow back button and recent workouts, which only they and their followers can see.
During a workout your coach can now change your workout screen when it helps, for example by adding a heart-rate line or split bars. It turns to that page, shows why with a "Put back" button and says it once, and "Put back" or the screen editor returns your own layout. On these new displays a value outside your target range shows in pink, so zone colours still mean zones.
Jaksa now keeps looking for heart-rate devices for the whole workout. It connects each of your own straps and your Garmin watch as soon as it hears them, all side by side, where before it used one at a time. Someone else's strap nearby is used only when none of yours, your watch or your AirPods are heard, and if your chosen strap has not connected after a minute your coach names it and reminds you to turn on Broadcast Heart Rate on a Garmin.
You can now let your coach ring you by itself when you run with only your watch, in Settings under Phone once your number is confirmed. It rings after four minutes in heart-rate zone 5, or else at each kilometre or mile with its time, but never within five minutes of a call ending and no more than six times a workout. Saying "stop ringing me" on a call turns it off for that workout or for good, and it is off until you turn it on.
When your Apple Watch records a workout, Jaksa on your watch face now shows that workout until you stop: the time, the distance and, where there is room, your heart rate in its zone colour. After you stop it goes back to its usual look.
Your coach no longer opens a workout with remarks "for you to know". It now tells you when you drift off a planned rep's pace, and its messages reach your phone the moment they are written instead of sometimes expiring unsaid. If the coach slips into another language, Jaksa notices and brings it back to yours.

Build 213 · 20 October 2026

Treadmill control now checks what each treadmill accepts

When you connect a treadmill that uses the standard Bluetooth connection for fitness machines, Jaksa now reads which controls it accepts. If a speed or incline is asked for that the treadmill cannot take, your coach says so in words instead of sending it, and your coach knows which settings it can change.
The first time Jaksa sets the speed on a treadmill model it has not checked before, your coach asks what speed the treadmill's own screen shows. Some treadmills read the speed Jaksa sends as miles per hour, so the belt runs faster than asked. On those, Jaksa now stops setting the speed.
If your answer gives no unit, your coach asks which one you mean. If the belt's speed changed before you answered, from the treadmill's buttons, a pause, a lost connection or the next step of your workout, your answer is not used. Your coach asks again the next time Jaksa sets a speed, so a treadmill that reads speeds correctly is no longer mistaken for one that uses miles per hour.
Treadmills from two different makers whose model names cannot be read are no longer treated as the same treadmill, so a check made on one no longer applies to the other.
When Jaksa cannot hear your treadmill, its advice now fits any make and explains that some treadmills send nothing to a phone. The coach's explanation of how to switch on a treadmill's Bluetooth has also been reworded.
An AI assistant you connect can now see which controls your treadmill offers and whether its speeds have been checked.

Build 212 · 20 October 2026

Workouts that went nowhere are labelled other, whatever the distance

A workout that barely moved is now labelled "other" even when it covered more than 100 metres. This applies if it was slower than 30 minutes per kilometre over its moving time, or slower than 10 minutes per kilometre without ever going more than 100 metres from where it started. Before, a couple of hundred metres of GPS drift around your front door could be labelled an easy run.
Pace is now judged over your moving time, so standing still for a while before you end a walk no longer makes it look slower than it was. A slow walk and laps of a small track keep their kind.
Choosing a run type when you start no longer turns a workout that went nowhere into an easy run. A kind you gave a workout yourself stays as it was, and workouts you already have are looked at again.
If your GPS dropped partway through but your watch recorded a distance that Jaksa accepted, that distance now decides the kind. Before, a short stretch of GPS that stayed in one spot could overrule it.

Build 211 · 20 October 2026

A Garmin run starts your coach, and Jaksa joins your watch face

With "Broadcast Heart Rate" on, starting an activity on your Garmin watch now starts your Jaksa workout and coach, and your Garmin becomes its heart rate. If Jaksa is closed or behind another app, a notification asks you to tap to start your coach, because an iPhone app cannot use the microphone from the background. You can turn this off in Settings under Garmin.
On Apple Watch, Jaksa can now sit on any watch face and in the Smart Stack, showing today's planned workout, such as "Easy 6 km" or "Rest day". It moves to the next day at midnight, the Smart Stack card comes up an hour before a planned start, and a tap opens Jaksa on your watch ready to start that session.
On watchOS 26 you can add a Jaksa "Start workout" control to your watch's Control Centre or to the Action button on Apple Watch Ultra, and one press starts a workout the same way the watch app's Start button does. After a workout your watch recorded, the finish screen explains how to add the control until you dismiss it.
When your phone records a workout without your watch, its live card in your watch's Smart Stack now has its own layout. It shows your workout time in large type, with distance and heart rate in its zone colour below.
"Call me" now rings only a number you have confirmed. In Settings under Phone, choose "Ring me with a code", and your coach calls and reads you six digits to type in. A new number needs confirming again, and until then the run menu points you to Settings.
On a paused workout, the end button now just reads "End", so neither button's label breaks onto two lines, and a screen reader on the home week strip reads only the week on show. Ending a workout on your Apple Watch is no longer mistaken for a lost watch. If your coach keeps dropping, your phone now waits and stops trying instead of reconnecting over and over, and tells you once if the day's limit is reached.

Build 210 · 20 October 2026

Workouts run from the start, with 20 seconds to set off

Outdoor workouts now run from the first second, whether you start them on your phone, from the lock screen or on your Apple Watch. Before, a workout started paused and the clock waited for your first steps.
For the first 20 seconds nothing pauses your workout, even if you take a few steps and then stop again. Before, stopping right after a few early steps could pause it after about 11 seconds.
If you are still standing after those 20 seconds, auto-pause pauses your workout as it does for any stop, and your first steps resume it. Before you set off, small jumps in a standing phone's location are not counted as walking.
If your workout paused before you set off and you then run indoors, for example on a treadmill that is not connected to Jaksa, it no longer stays paused for good. Once your phone loses its GPS signal, the pause lets go, and a location guessed from Wi-Fi alone never pauses your workout.

Build 209 · 20 October 2026

Workouts that never moved are no longer labelled easy runs

A workout that covered less than 100 metres is now labelled "other". Before, it could be labelled an easy run, a long run or a walk, even though there was too little movement to tell what kind it was.
Workouts you already have are looked at again, so an earlier one that never moved now shows as "other" too. A kind you gave a workout yourself, or one that came from your plan or from how you started it, stays as it was.
If your GPS line stayed still but your watch recorded a distance that Jaksa accepted, your run is still given a kind based on that distance.

Build 208 · 20 October 2026

Treadmill runs stay accurate when the treadmill drops out and returns

When your phone loses touch with your treadmill and then hears it again, Jaksa now compares the treadmill's own distance and clock with its last reading before the gap. If the treadmill simply carried on, your run takes its latest numbers and drops the distance that was estimated in between.
If the treadmill restarted from zero, its new count is added to where your workout stood, and the time it could not be heard counts as a pause on your run's clock. Before, a restarted treadmill could leave your distance wrong.
If it is unclear whether the treadmill carried on or restarted, your coach asks you, and your answer sets the distance right. Any pause from the gap is added only once this is settled.
If you had paused your run when the treadmill dropped out and are still paused when it returns, nothing the belt counted in the meantime is added. A gap is never turned into a pause on top of one you took yourself.
Splits counted while the treadmill could not be heard are taken back to where it was last heard. A distance you tell your coach after the treadmill returns is not changed by a later answer.
Once you stop and close a run, nothing more is changed, so the clock, the finish screen and your saved run all agree.

Build 207 · 20 October 2026

Finish time widgets and tidier workout screen layouts from your coach

Your workout screen can now show two new widgets: your expected total time at the finish, and the time on the clock when you will finish. Each comes in small, medium and wide sizes and uses the same calculation as the Time left card.
When one of these finish widgets takes a third of the screen width, it shows a short label so it fits.
When your coach rearranges your workout screen, it now keeps time, pace and distance together on one line. Before, a request such as putting time left next to heart rate could leave time, pace and distance at half width across two lines.
When you ask in a chat to rearrange the widgets on your workout screen, your coach now does it. Before, it often declined.
Your coach looks at your current screens before changing a page. Afterwards it tells you which widgets ended up side by side.

Build 206 · 20 October 2026

Your coach hears you even when split updates come quickly

When split updates come quickly, for example on a treadmill, they no longer pile up in front of what you say. Before, a flood of quick split updates could mean that nothing you said to your coach in the last minutes reached it.
Your coach now gives a split update only once you have been quiet for a couple of seconds, it has finished speaking and it has answered anything you asked. Updates come one at a time, and a newer split replaces one that is still waiting.
Your coach keeps better track of which updates it has actually said to you, even when it waited a long time for you to finish talking.

Build 205 · 20 October 2026

No changes you will notice in this build

This build contains only behind-the-scenes work. Running, your coach and jaksa.run look and work the same as in the previous build.

Build 204 · 20 October 2026

Your coach can now check back in with you later

In a chat, your coach can now arrange to check back with you at a later time. A card in the chat shows when it will do so, such as "Thu 18:00" on your phone's clock, and the check-in then arrives in the chat and as a notification on your phone.
A check-in appears in the chat under the caption "Your coach, checking in". When you reply, your coach knows what it asked you.
You get at most two check-ins a day and none during quiet hours at night, going by the time where you are, even when you travel. One that falls due while you are running waits until your workout is over.
If you open a chat while a check-in is waiting, Jaksa asks whether you want to allow notifications so the check-in can reach you.
Check-in notifications go only to the account signed in on your iPhone. If you sign in with a different account, you do not get the previous account's check-ins on your lock screen.

Build 203 · 20 October 2026

Routes for runs started on Apple Watch with your iPhone locked

If you start a run on Apple Watch while your iPhone is locked, the run now takes its route from the watch's GPS, so your map, pace, distance and the street your coach knows you are on are all filled in. Before, your iPhone could not get a location in the background and the run had no route.
If your watch is out of reach of your iPhone for a while, the route it records is kept and arrives when they reconnect. Your kilometre splits stay right even when that part of the route arrives late or spans a pause.
Opening Jaksa on your iPhone during a run started on the watch now starts your iPhone's GPS straight away, and it fills any gaps in the watch's route. Before, your iPhone could go on recording no location at all.
If neither your watch nor your iPhone can find your location, your watch now tells you once.

Build 202 · 20 October 2026

Quicker, more direct answers from your voice coach

During a run, your coach now answers more of your questions straight away instead of first passing them on to be looked up, so replies come sooner. It also starts its answers with less filler before getting to the point.

Build 201 · 20 October 2026

More reliable run endings with Apple Watch

If your Apple Watch ends its workout on its own while your iPhone is locked, the run now ends at the moment the watch stopped, as if you had tapped Stop, and you get one notification. Before, nothing recorded the rest of the run and the workout was left open.
Tapping End on Apple Watch now always ends your run, even when your iPhone hears it a few seconds late. Before, your iPhone could take it for the watch dropping out and try to carry on recording.
If you start a run on your iPhone and tap End on Apple Watch during the 3-second countdown, the run now ends right away at GO. Before, it could start with nothing recording it. A workout that short is not kept, and you no longer get a notice saying it is in your workouts.
When your iPhone carries on recording after the watch stops, and that recording then ends as well, the minutes it recorded are now kept and saved when you tap Stop. Before, they were thrown away and the run was cut back to where the watch stopped.
When Apple Watch takes the run back from your iPhone, a late problem on the iPhone side can no longer end the workout the watch is recording.

Build 200 · 20 October 2026

A timeline on jaksa.run, and your coach can now mark a walk

When you are signed in, the jaksa.run front page is now a timeline of the runners you follow: who is running now, live from Apple Watch, then their workouts with maps, photos you can open full screen, kudos and comments. Beside it are your week against your plan, your race countdown, your friends' races and the most active runners, in one column on a phone.
Runners who follow you see only your town, not the first and last 200 m of your route, and never the location stored in your photos. A "Jaksa Coach, price coming" button now sits at the top of every page, shows what will be offered, and lets you ask to be told when you can pay.
On a wide screen, a workout's page on jaksa.run now has three panes: your recent workouts on the left, the workout in the middle, and the map on the right, which stays in view as you scroll. It opens with your coach's first words after Stop and four big numbers, then how this run compares with your earlier runs on the same route, with a "vs usual" column in the splits, charts along the distance, the start of your conversation, photos, and kudos and comments you can add to.
My workouts on jaksa.run now shows each workout's title and marks walks. It shows no pace where a pace makes no sense, and marks a drive and leaves it out of your totals. An AI assistant you connect can now read your timeline and the same-route comparison.
If your coach asks whether you are walking and you do not answer, your coach can now mark the whole workout as a walk and tells you "I've marked this as a walk". Before, a slow dog walk with an unanswered question was kept as a run.
When you ask your coach something that needs a web search during a run, it now searches at most twice, so answers come sooner. If it found an answer and then hits a problem, it still tells you what it found instead of an error.

Build 199 · 19 October 2026

Your plan as a calendar, and a one-tap end on Apple Watch

Whole plan now opens a calendar instead of a list, on this week. It shows your race with the weeks left and your goal time, a bar for each week of the plan (planned in grey, done in lime), then each day's planned workouts as coloured cards beside the runs you recorded. The same calendar is on jaksa.run under My plan, linked from My workouts.
On jaksa.run, a new Road to the race page shows every week up to race day, planned against done, with your training phases, markers for today and race day, one sentence on whether you are on track, and this week day by day. Without a plan, it tells you how to get one.
On Apple Watch, swiping right now shows tiles for End, Pause, your coach and the microphone. One tap on End finishes the workout with no confirm step, and a short summary of distance, time, average pace and average heart rate stays on screen until you tap Done.
Notices can now be cleared with a sideways swipe or a close button, and Dismiss all appears when there is more than one. Clearing a Strava reminder only hides it, and the workout still waits for your OK.
In the chat, your coach's answers now run across the full width, your messages sit in grey bubbles, and New is at the top right. Your coach can also send you a link to Strava's archive download, then read the activities file you send it to plan with your full history.
A distance or time you tell your coach before Start is now kept, and your run's coach no longer asks again. Treadmill runs are more reliable: a stuck connection is retried, a treadmill that dropped just before Start still gives an indoor run, auto-pause no longer stops the clock while you run, and an easy run is no longer saved as intervals.

Build 198 · 19 October 2026

Your coach can now ask you questions, and you can send it files

In the chat with your coach, your coach can now ask you a multiple-choice question as a card, and you answer by tapping. Some questions let you pick more than one answer, and tapping Stop or leaving a question unanswered for a while lets it go.
Question cards appear only in the chat. Your voice coach does not ask them during a run.
The chat now has an attach button for photos, PDFs, GPX routes and FIT files, and each file shows as a chip until you send. Your coach reads the track of a GPX route and the summary of a workout from a FIT file.
If your coach cannot read a file, it is told so, and the rest of your message still goes through.
Photos and PDFs are read once, so long chats with many attachments keep working.
On jaksa.run, your coach's panel has the same question cards and attach button, and you can also drag files onto the panel.

Build 197 · 19 October 2026

You can now keep several chats with your coach, each with a name

In the chat with your coach, you can now keep as many chats as you like. The app opens your newest one, and Back shows the list, newest first, with a New conversation button. A softly pulsing dot marks a chat where your coach is still answering.
Each chat is named after your coach's first answer, and a chat without a name reads "Untitled". A long press lets you rename or delete a chat, and a name you choose always stays.
A chat you delete stays deleted, even if your coach was still answering in it.
Your existing chat with your coach is kept as the first chat in the list. Older versions of the app now show a message asking you to update.
On jaksa.run, your coach's panel shows the same list of chats at the top.
An AI assistant you connect can now list and read your chats with your coach. It cannot send your coach messages.

Build 196 · 19 October 2026

You can now speak your messages to your coach instead of typing

In the chat with your coach, the text box now has a mic button. Your words appear in the box as you speak, after anything already there, and a wave line shows that the mic is listening.
When you stop speaking, Jaksa tidies the words in place, adding punctuation and spelling your goal race and the places you run correctly. If the tidy-up would change too much or does not finish, the words stay as you said them.
Typing while you dictate ends the dictation, and what you type is never written over. Tapping Send while you are still speaking sends the tidied words, and a close button ends the dictation and gives you the text box back.
Leaving the chat stops the mic straight away. If your voice coach needs the mic, it ends the dictation.
On jaksa.run, your coach's panel has the same mic, and closing the panel stops it.

Build 195 · 19 October 2026

No changes in the app, and jaksa.run is up to date again

Nothing changes in the app in this build, so there is nothing new to see on your phone or during a run.
On jaksa.run, the release notes page had stopped updating a few builds ago and was missing the latest entries. It now updates again.

Build 194 · 19 October 2026

Your coach's chat now shows each step and has a Stop button

In the chat with your coach, each answer now appears in the order it happened. His words come in bubbles that can hold lists and bold text, each thing he looks up or does gets a card with a running clock and how long it took, and his thinking folds into one card. A card turns amber after 5 minutes, tapping it shows what he asked for and what came back, and answers have a Copy button.
While your coach is answering, the send button becomes Stop. Stopping ends the answer where it is, keeps the words already shown and is not treated as an error, and your coach still knows those words in your next message. Before, reopening the chat could show "No response requested." in their place.
You can keep typing while your coach answers. Up to 5 messages wait above the text box and are sent one at a time once he is done, and if you leave the chat with messages waiting, Jaksa asks whether to send them when he is free.
The chat now scrolls along with an answer only when you are near the bottom, so you can read earlier messages without being pulled down. An empty chat suggests questions to start with, and the times on the cards stay right when you reopen the chat.
On jaksa.run, your coach's panel now shows bold text and bullet lists.

Build 193 · 19 October 2026

Your treadmill speed plan now shows on the workout screen

When your coach runs a treadmill speed plan, such as 0.1 km/h faster every 100 m up to 12 km/h, a card now comes first on the workout screen with the rule, your current speed, the next step and how far away it is, and where the plan stops. If the plan is waiting for a target before it starts, the card says so. Before, you had to ask your coach whether the plan was still running.
If you change the plan by voice, the card shows the new rule. When the plan is cancelled, stopped or finished, the card says so and where in one line, and it stays until a new plan is set. The card is compact so your workout controls stay on screen, and the small map makes room for it.
An AI assistant you connect can now see your treadmill speed plan too, including one that was cancelled.
A short drop in the treadmill connection is no longer announced. If it lasts 15 seconds, your coach says once that the belt is yours for now and that Jaksa will take it back as soon as it finds the treadmill again, and he says it is back only after a drop he announced. Before, two short drops could make him say "You're back in charge of the treadmill speed and incline" three times in a minute.
If the treadmill itself takes back control, your coach always tells you. If the connection drops again while Jaksa is still reconnecting, it tries again at the next connection instead of losing control without a word.

Build 192 · 19 October 2026

Your coach no longer talks over you or reads out impossible splits

When you tell your coach a treadmill distance far ahead of the one he had, for example when you correct it upwards, he now treats it as a correction: the distance is updated and your pace stays as it was. Before, a jump from 1.3 km to 4.73 km within half a minute counted as a pace of over 400 km/h, so the workout ran on far too long and the coach read out a string of ten-second kilometres.
A kilometre split faster than 40 km/h is now never read out and never saved with your run, and your coach no longer calls out the splits a correction skipped. Pausing the treadmill between two distances no longer hides such a jump.
You can now tell your coach that a distance counts from when the treadmill connection was lost, and he adds it to what you had already run.
Your coach's check-ins, such as splits, heart rate zones and climbs, now wait while you are talking and for a couple of seconds after, never more than 10 seconds. A newer check-in replaces one that is still waiting, and a waiting check-in is no longer lost if the connection to your coach drops and comes back. Before, a check-in could land on your words and your coach would miss what you said, such as a new speed.
When your coach looks at a past run, heart rate, power and cadence for each kilometre now match the right kilometre, even when a kilometre is missing or a GPS gap grouped several together.

Build 191 · 19 October 2026

Treadmill speeds now stop at 18 km/h, with a warning above 16

Your coach now never sets your treadmill faster than 18 km/h. A faster speed, whether you name it, ask for "faster" or it comes from a speed rule or a step in a planned workout, is refused and your coach tells you why. An AI assistant you connect is refused the same way.
When your treadmill speeds up from below 16 km/h to 16 km/h or more, your coach now warns you first, and the belt changes speed about 3 seconds later. If you pause or stop the treadmill in that time, the speed does not change.
A speed rule whose starting or top speed is above 18 km/h is now refused when you set it. A rule that keeps speeding up with no top speed now stops at 18 km/h, and your coach says so when you set it.
When you ask your coach what is new in Jaksa, he now reads Jaksa's own release notes and sums up the main changes, instead of searching the web and sometimes finding nothing. If a newer build is out than the one on your phone, he tells you what it brings and that your phone does not have it yet.

Build 190 · 19 October 2026

A walk no longer counts as your earlier workout of the day

If you have done at least five runs in the last 90 days, your coach now counts only runs as an earlier workout that day. A morning walk no longer makes your later run "your second one today".
If you mostly walk, your walks still count as earlier workouts, and a planned walk is still completed by a walk.

Build 189 · 19 October 2026

Chat answers now appear word by word and survive a lost connection

In the chat in the app and on jaksa.run, answers now appear word by word as they are written, instead of all at once at the end.
An answer now carries on even if your connection drops or you leave the app. The chat picks the same answer up again by itself, shows what you missed and continues, and coming back to the app always returns you to the answer you were following, never an older one.
When you reopen the chat, your conversation looks exactly as it did while the answers were being written. If an answer could not be saved, the chat tells you.
Sending the same message twice, for example after a dropped connection, no longer gets it answered twice.
If the chat on jaksa.run cannot load your conversation, it now shows an empty chat and says why, instead of breaking.
Earlier builds of the app now ask you to update before you can keep using the chat.

Build 188 · 19 October 2026

Your Apple Watch and iPhone now record one workout together

When you run with both your iPhone and your Apple Watch, the watch's readings are now joined into your phone's workout, so you end up with one workout. Your iPhone's readings stand, and the watch fills any gaps in them.
If your iPhone was out of reach of your watch during the run, the workout is built from your watch's readings instead, including heart rate, route and pauses.
A workout recorded only on your watch is saved from the watch's readings about 10 minutes after you end it. If your iPhone's version of the same workout arrives later, it replaces the watch-only one.
Readings that reach your account after a workout is saved are still added to that workout. Your watch now keeps any readings it has not sent yet until they are safely saved, so a dropped connection no longer loses them.
Pauses you make on your watch are now kept in the workout and are never counted twice.
Following a run live now also shows the watch's readings joined with the phone's.

Build 187 · 19 October 2026

Messages now float above the main button instead of moving the page

Messages from Jaksa now appear as a short note floating just above Start, Pause and End, or Done, on every screen, and no longer push the page around. One shows at a time for a few seconds, a little longer when it has a button, and you can swipe it down to send it away. VoiceOver reads each one aloud.
A workout waiting for your OK before it goes to Strava now sits behind an orange count badge at the top of the home page. Tap the badge to Look or Send. The grey Strava card on the home page is gone, and if you leave Jaksa while a workout waits, you get one notification that disappears when you open Jaksa again.
The home page no longer shows problem cards. A workout cut short by a crash now appears once as a green note with See it after it is saved, and a low battery warning appears as an amber note at most once a day. Errors are plain red notes, and a Strava error on the finish screen offers Try again.
An alarm or reminder you set for a workout now buzzes your iPhone once and shows a bright green note. On Apple Watch it shows a card with one buzz on whichever page you are on. Nothing buzzes or appears after you stop the workout.
Your treadmill connecting no longer shows a message, and if it disconnects during a workout your coach tells you. With Jaksa closed, you only get a notification when your treadmill starts, which you can tap to start your workout.
The offer to connect an AI assistant now appears together with the home page instead of dropping in after the page has loaded.

Build 186 · 19 October 2026

Workouts on a cellular Apple Watch now save without your phone

A workout you run with only a cellular Apple Watch now sends its readings and is saved to your account, even with your iPhone switched off or left at home. Before, nothing from such a workout reached your account.
Tapping Call me on your watch now tells you that Jaksa cannot ring phones yet.
If someone signs out on your iPhone and another runner signs in during a watch workout, the watch keeps that workout's readings for the runner who started it. They are sent when that runner signs back in, even if the workout has already ended. Before, they could be saved to the other runner's account.

Build 185 · 19 October 2026

Your coach draws on coaching lessons, and chat answers start sooner

Your coach can now draw on a library of 37 coaching lessons and research notes, both during a workout and in chat. Ask it what to focus on in the last repeat of an interval session, for example, and it answers with that lesson's cues.
During a workout your coach brings in at most one lesson and offers form and breathing drills first. It gives one cue at a time when there is a quiet moment. On an easy run it may pick up one subject you have not finished, and when it writes a training plan it draws on the lessons about long-term training.
Opening the app, signing in, coming back to the app or loading a signed-in page of jaksa.run now gets your coach ready in the background, so your first chat message is answered sooner. Before, a first message after some time away could wait several seconds while your coach started up.

Build 184 · 19 October 2026

Your coach answers chat questions while reviewing a workout

Your coach can now answer a question in chat while it is still reviewing a workout you just finished, and several conversations can be answered at the same time. Before, your question waited until the review was done.
If you send another message in the same conversation while your coach is still answering, you are told that an answer is already on its way. If your coach is very busy, it tells you so in words, and a workout review always has room to run.

Build 183 · 19 October 2026

Your coach notices a lost voice connection much sooner

If the voice connection to your coach drops during a workout, the app now notices within about 40 seconds and reconnects. Before, it could wait much longer for the connection to fail on its own, and your coach stayed silent in the meantime.
When your phone loses its network, the app notices at once. When the network comes back, it reconnects your coach straight away instead of waiting for its next retry. A workout that starts without a network is also recognised right away.
A coach you switched off for a while is no longer mistaken for a dropped connection when you turn it back on. An occasional slow reply in an otherwise healthy connection no longer causes a needless reconnect.

Build 182 · 19 October 2026

Chat with your coach in a panel on every signed-in page of jaksa.run

On jaksa.run, a Your coach button on My workouts, a workout's page, My routes and What your coach knows opens a chat with your coach in a panel on the right. It is the same conversation as in the app, so you can carry on where you left off.
In a wide window the page moves aside to make room for the panel, and in a phone's browser the panel fills the screen. The jaksa.run/chat address now opens this same panel at full width, so the website has one chat instead of two.
Signing out takes the panel and its conversation off the page, and an answer that arrives after you sign out is not shown. Signing in again, including with a QR code, brings back your own conversation.
Loading a page leaves keyboard focus where it is, and focus moves only when you open or close the panel yourself. When the panel fills a phone's screen, Tab and Space stay inside it and cannot reach the page hidden behind it.

Build 181 · 19 October 2026

Your coach can now leave small tasks running for you

Your coach can now set up an automation, a small task that runs on its own after every workout, every race or every change to your plan, or at a set hour each day or week. It keeps working after your conversation ends, sees only your own data, and leaves at most one note and one memory each time it runs.
You can see, pause and delete your automations in the app and on jaksa.run. An AI assistant you connect can list, pause, resume and delete them too.
A resumed automation starts again from the moment you resume it, so it does not act on workouts recorded while it was paused. Each workout is acted on once, even one that uploads late, and a daily automation runs only once on the night the clocks go back.
On What your coach knows, your automations are listed below your coach's files, each with a one-line description and when it last ran. Dates from this year are shown without the year, and an automation that has run a single time says "ran once".

Build 180 · 19 October 2026

Every run now has a kind, and your coach compares like with like

Every workout you record now has a kind: easy, tempo, long, intervals, race, walk or other. It comes from the planned workout you followed, or otherwise from the shape of your pace, and your earlier runs have been sorted the same way.
A workout's page shows its kind, with a Change button where you can correct it. A kind you set yourself is never replaced afterwards.
Each workout is also split into parts: warm-up, each repeat and recovery, the tempo block, cool-down, or one steady part when there is no structure. The parts always add up to the workout's distance, even when your watch's distance differs from your phone's, and they end where you trimmed the run.
Your coach now compares like with like, for example a tempo block against your recent tempo blocks rather than the whole run, so easy minutes after the tempo no longer count against it. An AI assistant you connect can also find runs by kind, compare them and change a run's kind.
GPS wandering and short stops no longer make a steady run look like intervals. A run only counts as repeats when they are clearly faster than the recoveries between them.
On a workout's page, a repeat's pace, such as "at 4:08 /km", now stays on the same line as its distance and is never cut off.

Build 179 · 19 October 2026

No visible changes in this build

Nothing you can see or use has changed in the app or on jaksa.run. This build holds only work behind the scenes, so running, coaching and your runs work as they did in the previous build.

Build 178 · 19 October 2026

Your coach knows your places, routes and when a record is in reach

Your coach, the chat and an AI assistant you connect can now tell you whether you are on track for a record or a goal time, such as under 40 minutes. The answer is worked out from your actual distance and time rather than guessed.
They can also tell you how often you have run in a place, for example "16th time here this year", and whether you have run a route before. Any run that started within 2 km of the route is compared, and how much of the route you covered is measured in metres, not by how often your GPS recorded a point.
If an earlier run near the route cannot be read, it counts as not compared. You are then not told what share of the route is new ground, rather than given a share that may be wrong.
When you ask about your records, you now also hear each distance's fastest time in the last 12 months.
During a paused run, the time paused now counts up to the present moment, and a run you have stopped is no longer treated as still going.
On a treadmill, distance is taken from its latest reading, so a correction downward now counts. A goal time reached on a treadmill is called a first only if it beats your best outdoors.

Build 177 · 19 October 2026

Your next planned workout up front, with edit, move and skip

The Workouts tab now shows just your next planned workout, with a way into its page and to your whole plan. The link to the whole plan stays even when nothing is next, so you can put back a workout you skipped.
A planned workout's page lists its steps with repeats grouped under a plain repeat count, and the workout's size no longer counts the minutes of the rests. A race reads as a race, a map appears only when the workout has a route, and a one-line row lets you choose who can follow it before you start.
You can edit, move or skip a planned workout and it stays the same workout, so a link you shared ahead of time keeps working. An edit leaves a distance you did not touch exactly as it was, rather than rounding it when you use miles, and does not turn a race into another kind of workout.
Choosing Other on a day with a planned workout now first offers to make it easy, to just run, or to do something else. The Outside and Treadmill choices are gone from this sheet, since picking the treadmill there used to drop the plan.
Make it easy moves the planned workout off today and puts an easy run in its place at the same time. It works once: pressing it again does not move the workout a second time or add a second easy run, and if part of the change fails, the app tells you.
Start this workout appears only when Start will follow the plan, and Start never takes a workout you have moved, so today's run cannot count as a workout now planned for a later day.

Build 176 · 19 October 2026

Planned workouts now set the treadmill for each step

On a treadmill the app can control, each step of a planned workout now sets the belt once, at its start. It uses the speed the step names, or the middle of its pace range, and the incline the step names. A step run by effort alone leaves the belt where you put it, and if the treadmill connects shortly after a step begins, the belt is set then.
On a treadmill the app cannot control, your coach tells you once per step what speed to set, and distance counts at that speed while the treadmill is not heard. If a run is cut off and you carry on, the belt never moves by itself.
A Hold speed switch on the step card, or asking your coach by voice, hands the belt to you. The app stops changing the belt, drops any change still waiting, and keeps counting the steps. A speed you ask your coach for mid-step lasts until that step ends, and the next step sets the plan's speed again.
The belt line on the step card is now one larger line, for example "14.5 km/h, set by Jaksa" or "Set the belt to 14.5 km/h", next to the Hold speed switch. Before, a two-line row with a small caption pushed the Pause control off the bottom of the screen.
During a run that is not following planned steps, you can ask your coach for intervals, for example "6 times 400 at 14, 200 at 7" or "4 times 3 minutes hard, 2 easy". Your coach saves them as today's planned workout, asks for anything you left out, and the app takes you through each step from then on, moving the belt on a treadmill. "Until I say stop" keeps going until you say "last one".
Intervals are no longer set up as reminders, by your coach or by an AI assistant you connect, while hills and speed changes still are. When intervals start, any speed or incline reminders still waiting end, so only the steps move the belt.

Build 175 · 19 October 2026

See planned against done on a finished workout

After a run that followed a planned workout's steps, its page in the app and on jaksa.run now shows a row for each step with the target, what you ran and your heart rate, in lime when on target and amber when off. A line above sums it up, for example "4 of 4 reps, 3 on target", and the rests are folded away.
A rep that missed its target shows how far off it was beside its time, for example "4:14 +4", so it does not rely on colour alone.
A pace target allows 2 seconds per kilometre either way and a heart rate target 2 beats, and a step run by feel is not judged. Pace is judged on what you actually ran rather than the rounded figure, so a rep at 4:32.4 against a 4:30 target counts as off.
Each rep counts in the repeat it belongs to, so an extra rep added during the cool-down or a repeat you ended early is shown in its own block. A workout started before this update and finished after it is counted whole, rather than as something like "3 of 6".
The result comes from the run itself, so changing the planned workout's steps afterwards does not change it. Your coach and an AI assistant you connect see the same result as the page.

Build 174 · 18 October 2026

Behind-the-scenes work, nothing new to see

This build has no changes you can see or use in the app or on jaksa.run. Running, your coach, your plan and your planned workouts work as they did in the previous build.

Build 173 · 18 October 2026

Your coach now follows the steps of a planned workout as you run

During a planned workout the app now follows its steps. It works out which step you are on from distance and time with pauses left out, moves on exactly at each step's distance or time, and keeps a split for each step. A step set to last until you say ends when you press Lap.
Your coach knows the step and rep you are on, your target pace, how far is left and how many reps remain, and speaks at each change. If a rep runs faster or slower than its target, your coach hears about it once each way and judges whether to mention it. A pace target with only one side counts as a limit rather than a range.
You can ask your coach by voice to move to the next step, go back, skip a rest, add one more rep or stop following the steps. The change happens straight away and your coach tells you what it did. Going back returns to the step you last ran, not a rest that was skipped, and an extra rep started during the cool-down keeps the cool-down you had already run.
On the run screen, a step card now takes the place of Time left on the first page, and the small map leaves that page while the map page stays. The card shows your target on a pace band and what comes next, for example "Jog 200 m, then rep 3", and the run controls stay on screen.
Each step's split is kept with your workout. If a run is cut off and you carry on, the steps continue from the one you were on.
When you end a run from Apple Watch, splits now stop at the moment you ended it, even if the phone hears about it a little later. A step whose split cannot be read is left out, and the rest of the workout is still kept.

Build 172 · 18 October 2026

Workout steps on shared pages and in your coach's plans

When you share a race or workout ahead of time, its page on jaksa.run now lists the planned steps before you start, with a repeated set shown as one row. Each step has a rough clock time based on the start time and the workout itself, and where there is nothing to go by it shows no time rather than a guess.
A race in its own time zone now shows its times as local time, for example "7:00 local time", and stays correct across a clock change. The page also shows the race's place, and your bib and wave sit under the steps so friends can find you.
When your coach builds or changes your training plan, each workout now comes with its own steps, such as a warm-up, repeats with recoveries, a marathon-pace block or a race strategy.
If your coach changes a workout but leaves its steps alone, the steps are kept. They are only replaced when the workout becomes a different kind or length.

Build 171 · 18 October 2026

Behind-the-scenes work, nothing new to see

This build has no changes you can see or use in the app or on jaksa.run. Running, your coach and your plan work as they did in the previous build.

Build 170 · 18 October 2026

Planned workouts that hold steady when your plan changes

Each workout in your plan now keeps its own identity, so a link you share ahead of time keeps working when the workout moves to another day, is edited or your coach re-plans your training.
When your coach re-plans your training, it no longer removes a workout you have already done, shared or set a start time for. A workout your coach changes to a different kind or length now gets new steps instead of keeping the old ones.
A planned workout can include one of your own routes, and that route is also drawn on jaksa.run.
If you have several workouts on one day, Today shows the next one you have not done yet, in order of start time.
A race you have entered now shows on Today even when you have no training plan, and your coach mentions it too.
An AI assistant you connect can now list, look at, add, change and delete the workouts in your plan one by one, and can set your goal race when it updates your training.

Build 169 · 18 October 2026

Chat with your coach on jaksa.run, and ask it about races

The chat in the app, "Talk to your coach", and the new chat page on jaksa.run are now one conversation with your coach. Both open with everything said so far, so you can start on your phone and carry on at your computer. An empty chat now shows one short line.
Talking out loud with your coach in the chat is switched off for now, so the chat no longer has a voice button. Your coach still talks to you before a workout and after you stop a run.
A very long answer from your coach now stays in the chat, cut short and marked as such where needed. Before, it could vanish when you reopened the chat. On jaksa.run, a message too long to send now tells you so instead of being cleared.
Your coach can now find races by name, place or distance and tell you the next date, the distances on offer, how hilly the course is, the usual race-day weather and whether it counts as a Boston qualifier. This includes races in Cluj-Napoca, Bucharest and Pleven, and Boston-qualifying marathons outside the US.
If you ask about a race your coach does not know, it looks the race up on the race's own website. If it cannot find it, it says so plainly.
An AI assistant you connect can find and look up races in the same way.

Build 168 · 18 October 2026

See and add to what your coach knows about you

The app has a new page in Settings, "What your coach knows". It shows the notes your coach keeps about you and every file you have given it, each with a one-page summary.
You can add a file to that page from the Files app: a PDF, a picture or a text file, such as an old training plan or a race result. A one-page summary of it appears beside it shortly after you add it.
To remove a file, tap remove and then confirm with a second tap.
The same page is on jaksa.run, where you can also add and remove files. A file you open there opens as the original you added.
An AI assistant you connect can now see what your coach knows, add files and notes for it, and remove them.
Closing your account deletes your coach's notes and all the files you gave it.

Build 167 · 18 October 2026

No changes you can see in this build

This build changes nothing you can see or use. The app, the coach, your runs on jaksa.run and your settings all work as they did in the previous build.

Build 166 · 18 October 2026

No changes you can see in this build

Nothing in the app or on jaksa.run looks or works differently in this build. Your runs, the coach and your settings behave exactly as in the previous build.

Build 165 · 18 October 2026

The coach now always starts speaking in your language

When the coach connects, it now speaks your language from its very first words. Before, it could occasionally open in another language, such as Arabic or Georgian, even though you had not said anything.
Wind, breathing, footsteps or other sounds the coach cannot make out no longer make it switch to another language, even when they happen to sound like one.

Build 164 · 18 October 2026

Run distance on Android phones now comes closer to the real distance

On Android phones, the distance of a run now follows the bends of your route more closely. Before, it often came out short. On a 10 km test run it measured 4.6 percent less than a watch worn on the same run, and now about 2.7 percent less.
On Android phones, standing still, for example while you wait at a crossing, does not add distance even when the phone's position wanders a few metres around you.
On iPhone, distance is measured exactly as before.

Build 163 · 18 October 2026

The coach no longer asks about your workout again after a dropout

If the connection to the coach drops during a run and comes back, the coach no longer asks again what kind of workout this is. Before, a reconnected coach could ask "a walk, an easy one, or all-out?" as if you had just started.
The coach now asks what the workout is at most once, right at the start, and only when you have no goal or route set, you are not walking and your talk level is not Quiet.
If you change talk level from Quiet to Normal while the coach is still connecting, the level you have when you start now decides whether it asks. Before, the earlier level could still apply.
After a reconnect, if you say "hey coach", it answers in a few words that it is back with you, then carries on with your run.

Build 162 · 18 October 2026

The coach no longer promises changes it cannot keep

When you ask the coach to coach you differently, for example to mention heart rate only when you change zones or to point out only the big climbs, it no longer promises to. Before, it could say it would and then carry on exactly as before.
If one of your settings covers what you asked, such as talk level, route turns or a reminder, the coach changes that setting for you instead.
If no setting covers it, the coach tells you it cannot change that by itself and asks whether you would like it passed on as a suggestion. It is only sent if you say yes.
If you tell the coach about a problem without asking for anything, it now asks the same question and passes it on only if you say yes. Before, it could say it would pass something on when nothing was actually sent.

Build 161 · 18 October 2026

Following a past route now puts you on its way out

When you follow the route of one of your past workouts, the coach now joins you to it at its beginning whenever you are within reach of it. Before, it could join you wherever the route came nearest, even a few metres away.
On a past route that goes out and back along the same street or crosses itself, you now join it on the way out, so most of the route is still ahead of you. Before, you could be put on the way back with only the last few hundred metres left.
If you join a past route well along it, the coach now tells you the length you still have to run rather than the length of the whole workout.

Build 160 · 18 October 2026

The coach can now give route turns only when you ask

When you follow a route without having chosen how you want turns, the coach now asks once, shortly after the start: every turn, or only when you ask. Your answer holds for the rest of the workout, even if the app restarts, and you can change your mind mid-route.
With turns only when you ask, the coach no longer speaks or buzzes each turn. It still tells you when you leave the route, when you are back on it, when you reach the end and about climbs ahead, and if you ask where to go it gives you the next turn.
The route card on the ready screen now has Every turn and When I ask, so you can choose before you start. An AI assistant you connect can also see and change this choice, before or during a workout.
If a chest strap, footpod or pod you have worn in the last 14 days has not connected a minute after you start, the coach now says so once, without a buzz, and the sensor appears with an orange dashed ring at the top of the workout screen. If it is still missing at five minutes, the coach says so once more.
After the workout, its Sensors card shows such a sensor as not connected at the start, or as connected late.
When the coach cannot make a new route of the length you asked for, it now offers the route of one of your past outdoor workouts that started nearby and was close to that length, and you can say yes to follow it. Before, it simply said it could not make a route.

Build 159 · 18 October 2026

Climb cues now come only on a route, and only for real climbs

Without a route, the coach no longer tells you which streets ahead climb and which stay flat. Before, it could describe the grade of turns near you, even ones you had no plan to take.
On a route, the coach still warns you of a climb ahead, such as a short climb in 150 metres, but only when it is steep enough for your talk level: 2.5% or more on chatty, 4% on normal, 6% on quiet. On silent it never announces a climb ahead.
If you change your talk level just before a climb warning is due, the coach goes by the level you have now.
The coach now mentions a climb you are on only once it reaches that steepness, and it gives the grade rather than calling the climb gentle. Before, it could call a rise of about 3% a gentle grade.
A climb on your route that only becomes steep enough partway up is announced once, not twice.

Build 158 · 18 October 2026

Jaksa can now bring in your runs and walks from COROS

Settings now has a Training from other apps card where you can connect your COROS account. Once connected, Jaksa reads your COROS runs and walks into your history and keeps adding new ones as they appear.
A COROS workout that is also in Apple Health or was recorded by Jaksa is kept only once in your history.
The new card only reads training from other apps. The Strava card is still where Jaksa saves your workouts to Strava.
Strava does not let Jaksa read your workouts for now, and its row in the new card says so in two short lines. A day after Strava says no, the row shows Connect again so you can ask once more.
If COROS or Strava cannot be reached, the card now says so plainly.
An AI assistant you connect can connect or disconnect COROS for you and sees your COROS workouts among your runs. It asks you to confirm before disconnecting.

Build 157 · 18 October 2026

The End workout button now fits neatly when a workout is paused

When a workout is paused, the End workout button now keeps its words on one line, centred inside the button, and shrinks them a little if space is tight, as Resume already does. Before, the words could wrap onto two lines aligned to the left, with the second line running past the bottom of the button.

Build 156 · 18 October 2026

Jaksa now tells a walk from a run by itself

About three minutes after you start moving, Jaksa now notices from your step rate and pace when a workout you started as a run is really a walk, and records the whole workout as a walk. The coach is told about the change. Before, a walk started as a run could stay a run to the end.
If a walk turns into running for most of a minute, it becomes a run from that point on. If you switch between walk and run yourself, Jaksa keeps your choice.
A walk still never pauses by itself, but its time in your history and on its page on jaksa.run now leaves out every stop of 10 seconds or more. Before, a walk with long stops counted every minute as moving.
On the phone, the workout page still shows the full clock time for a walk, stops included, for now.
Stops are worked out again when you trim a walk, undo a trim, change a workout between walk and run, or mark it as on a treadmill. Moments with no GPS signal are never counted as standing still.

Build 155 · 18 October 2026

You can now choose whether Jaksa uses your workouts to improve it

Settings now has a Make Jaksa better card, just after Help make routes better, with one switch for whether Jaksa may use your workouts to improve the app. The same switch is under My workouts on jaksa.run, above Delete my account, and an AI assistant you connect can show and change it too.
The switch is on unless you turn it off. While it is off, Jaksa does not read your workouts to improve the app, and workouts you record during that time stay out of it even if you turn the switch back on later.
Turning it off deletes nothing and changes nothing about your own coaching, your workouts or your history.
The privacy page on jaksa.run and the Settings guide now describe this switch. They also say that the street counting behind Help make routes better has a switch of its own.
On jaksa.run, the switch only changes for the account the page is showing, and it always shows your latest choice. An old browser tab still showing a different account changes nothing.

Build 154 · 18 October 2026

On a quiet workout the coach no longer repeats your progress and pace

On a quiet workout, the coach no longer keeps reading out how far along you are toward your target or how your pace compares with earlier in the run. It still speaks up when you reach the target. Before, it could tell you "0.02 of 3" barely a minute in and keep saying your pace had slipped since some minutes before.
If you ask the coach how far you have left or how your pace is going, it still answers with the numbers on a quiet workout.
When your pace falls off, the coach now says so once instead of returning to it again and again.

Build 153 · 18 October 2026

Workout numbers on the full-screen map now clear the clock and battery

On the full-screen map, the workout numbers now start below the phone's clock, signal and battery. Before, the clock sat across TIME and the signal and battery across KM and BPM.
When the support strip shows at the top of the screen, the full-screen map and the photo viewer now leave room for it once. Before, they left twice that space.
A workout in progress carries on when a support session connects or ends.
Climbing on the workout page and in the coach's note no longer reads far too high for walks and runs recorded with an Android phone. A 4.6 km walk over 38 m of hills used to show 372 m of climbing and now shows about 51 m. Climbing recorded on an iPhone reads as before.

Build 152 · 18 October 2026

You can now delete your account in Settings or on jaksa.run

Settings now has a Delete my account button, set a little apart from Sign out, with one short confirmation. The same button is under My workouts on jaksa.run, and an AI assistant you connect can also close your account after a confirming step. The page jaksa.run/delete-account explains how.
Deleting your account signs you out everywhere and removes your workouts from every list at once, and the rest of your data is erased within the hour. Jaksa asks Strava once to disconnect and points you to strava.com/settings/apps so you can check. Signing in again later with the same Apple or Google account starts a new, empty account.
On jaksa.run, a deletion only goes ahead for the account the page is showing. An old browser tab that still shows a different account from the one you are signed in to deletes nothing.
The privacy page on jaksa.run now says that Jaksa keeps the data from the app to run the coach and make it better. It no longer says that what you say to the coach is not kept.
On the workout screen, Run, Walk and Treadmill now stay on one line on narrow phone screens, and shrink slightly on the narrowest ones. Before, Treadmill could break onto a second line.

Build 151 · 18 October 2026

Pause and the mic stay on screen however long the coach talks

On the coach page during a workout, "What was said" now fits the space the other rows leave and scrolls inside itself, so the orb, talk level, Pause and the mic always sit above the page dots. Before, after a few minutes of talk the page grew taller than the screen and the controls slid under the dots.
Splits and notes on the other workout pages now scroll inside their own space in the same way, while the map and heart-rate line keep their full height as before. Only on a very small screen does the whole page scroll.
In the photo viewer, a spinner now shows while a photo downloads. If it fails, you see "Couldn't load this photo" with a Try again button. Before, a slow or failed download looked like a blank black page.
The on/off switch on the Devices screen is now labelled "Device scanning" instead of "Devices", which makes clear that turning it off stops every treadmill, strap and Jaksa HR. VoiceOver reads the new name, and the Settings guide uses it too.
On the map's direction card, when no turns are left, the distance to the finish now shows only once, as the big number. The small line below it now shows only a climb ahead, if there is one, and is otherwise hidden. With a turn still ahead, the card is unchanged.

Build 150 · 18 October 2026

The coach now tells you when a sensor drops out mid-workout

If a heart-rate strap, footpod or watch stops sending for 20 seconds during a workout, the coach now tells you once, with two buzzes and a line on screen, or a phone notification when Jaksa is closed. Reconnect attempts after that stay quiet, and Bluetooth switched off is a single message for all your sensors. Before, a sensor could drop and nothing said so.
If a footpod comes back but sends no steps while you keep moving, the coach tells you it is probably lying where it fell. If it starts counting steps again first, that message is not spoken.
Each drop, return, still footpod and Bluetooth switch-off is now kept with where it happened, a footpod's at its last step, and shown in a new Sensors card on the finish screen and on the workout's page. An AI assistant you connect can also see them, with a map link to each spot.
The pace heading in the splits table now reads "/km" or "/mi" on one line on the finish screen, a workout from history and the live-follow view, and shrinks a little at the largest text sizes rather than being cut off. Before, it broke into "PACE /" over "KM".
On the map page, the numbers in the tiles under the map and across the top of the full-screen map now have the same colours as every other workout page: time yellow, pace teal and distance blue. Before, they were all white.

Build 149 · 18 October 2026

Tidier workout cards and a solid bar under Start

At the bottom of a workout card, the lone arrow now reads "See everything" and always stays on the right, as on the finish screen. Before, with Strava not connected, a bare arrow sat at the left edge under the map.
When a workout card shows where a workout came from, such as a long Apple Watch name, that line now shortens with an ellipsis on smaller iPhones. "See everything" always stays fully on the card.
The bar holding Start and the mic on the home screen is now solid, so the list behind it no longer shows through. Before, the yellow record times and dates on the Progress tab could be read beside the mic and under Start.
Lists now fade out evenly across the full width just above that bar, and each page leaves more room at the bottom so its last line scrolls clear of the bar. Before, the fade stopped short of the right edge.

Build 148 · 18 October 2026

No changes you will notice in this build

Nothing in the app or on jaksa.run looks or works differently in this build. Everything you can see and do is the same as in the previous build.

Build 147 · 18 October 2026

The clock of an outdoor run now starts with your first steps

An outdoor run with auto-pause on now starts paused, and the clock starts when you first move off, together with Apple Health, the lock screen and your Apple Watch. Before, time spent standing at the start counted as workout time and could be saved to Apple Health and offered to Strava.
Because moving time now starts at your first steps, a start where you hardly moved before ending counts as a very short workout and is not kept.
If you stand still for five minutes before your first steps, the coach asks you once whether you are setting off or want to pause. A walk is never held paused, but it gets the same question once, and a later long stop on that walk asks nothing.
Turning on treadmill mode now starts the clock by itself without starting a connected treadmill's belt. Before, a run switched to a treadmill could stay at 0:00 for good.
If you pause on your Apple Watch before your first steps, the run stays paused when you start moving, as it does when you pause by voice.
Treadmill runs, runs with auto-pause off and a workout you go back into still start the clock straight away, as before.

Build 146 · 18 October 2026

A silent coach on request, and treadmill intervals with repeats

Saying "be quiet" when the coach is already on Quiet now makes it silent, so it speaks only when you ask it something or for a reminder you set. Before, asking again on a quiet workout changed nothing.
While silent, the coach skips splits, laps, zone and pace remarks, climbs ahead, route suggestions and offers. At a target you set it says only the end you asked for, and questions such as whether you are walking wait.
While the coach is silent the talk setting shows Quiet lit, and tapping any level, Quiet included, brings it back to talking.
Treadmill intervals can now have a hard part and a recovery of different lengths, in metres or minutes, and a number of repeats, such as "6 times 400 metres at 14, 200 metres at 7". Before, only an even switch every so far was possible.
Intervals start with the hard part and switch between the two speeds by themselves. After the last repeat they leave you at the recovery speed and end, and you are told they are done. The coach reads back exactly what was set.
If you leave part of an intervals plan out, the coach asks for it instead of guessing, and "let's do intervals" on its own gets questions.

Build 145 · 18 October 2026

The coach no longer asks if you are on a track without reason

The coach no longer asks whether you are on a running track just because one is nearby, you say the word "track", or you have barely moved since starting. Before, it could ask this even at home a few metres into a run.
It still asks when you really seem to be on a track: once you are moving along inside one, or after a few minutes of running laps.

Build 144 · 18 October 2026

The coach now ignores speech that is not meant for it

When the coach overhears something not said to it, such as a station announcement or you talking to someone else, it now stays quiet and does not repeat it. Before, it could answer or say back words it simply picked up around you.
If someone else says the coach's name in passing, it no longer treats that as a call. When it truly cannot tell whether you were talking to it, it asks "Was that for me?"
Anything you ask the coach directly still gets an answer, including questions about things outside your run, such as the news.

Build 143 · 18 October 2026

Nothing new to see in this build

This build makes no changes you can see or do in the app or on jaksa.run, and everything from the previous build works as before.

Build 141 · 18 October 2026

Watch-start notice now gets past a Focus

When you start a workout on your Apple Watch while the app is closed, the notice on your iPhone asking you to tap to start your coach now arrives as time-sensitive, so it shows up on the lock screen and as a banner. Before, the Fitness Focus that a watch workout turns on, or a scheduled notification summary, could hide it and you might never see it.

Build 140 · 18 October 2026

This build changes nothing you can see or do in the app or on jaksa.run. Everything from the previous build works as before.

Build 139 · 18 October 2026

Share a planned workout or race before it starts

The Workouts tab now has "Coming up", listing your plan's sessions for the next seven days and your race, each with a share icon. Today's session stays on Today's card just above it.
A workout shared ahead shows its start day and time on its follow page on jaksa.run until you begin. When you start that workout from your plan, the same link goes live. People you shared it with by name see it under "Following now" before it starts.
An AI assistant you connect can list your coming workouts, give one a start time and share it ahead for you.
On a treadmill, a pause the treadmill reports while the belt is still moving now waits two seconds for the belt to stop. Before, a quick pause and start from the treadmill could take seconds off your workout clock while you kept running.
When you ask for a speed or incline that does not fit a step, hill or interval rule that is running, the rule now ends before the belt changes and your coach tells you it has stopped. This works whether you ask your coach in the app, on a phone call or through an AI assistant you connect. Before, the rule could keep pulling the belt back toward its own speed.
Asking for a change by an amount, such as 0.5 km/h faster, now counts from the belt's actual speed, even after you have changed it by hand on the treadmill.

Build 138 · 18 October 2026

Follow a run on a big map with each cheer pinned where it arrived

The page on jaksa.run where others follow your run live now opens on a big map. You are a pulsing lime pin with your initial, and each cheer or update is a bubble in its sender's colour at the spot where it arrived.
Over the edge of the map on a phone, or beside it on a computer, a card shows your name and workout, a bar toward today's goal, time, current pace, average pace, heart rate and zone, and one finish time. A second finish time appears only when your average pace points to a finish a minute or more apart.
Below the map on jaksa.run are a one-line cheer box with quick cheers that send in one tap, then the cheers and updates with the km where each arrived, then splits and charts. The follow screen in the app now has the same map-first layout, and "Following now" on the Workouts tab opens it.
Cheers now stay with the finished workout. The workout's page in the app and on jaksa.run pins them on its map and lists them under "Cheers on this workout".
Followers always see the km where a cheer arrived, but its spot on the map appears only outside the first 200 m of your run, and outside the last 200 m once you have finished.
If a follower has a cheer's bubble open when that cheer is read out to the runner, the bubble now stays open and updates to show it has been read out. Tapping a cheer in the list always opens that cheer's own pin, even when two arrived at the same moment.

Build 137 · 18 October 2026

Your coach warns of hills ahead and names the streets

On a workout without a route, your coach now tells you about a climb or a drop before it starts and names the streets. Before, it only mentioned a climb once you were already partway up it.
As you near a corner, your coach says which way out climbs and which stays flat. It says this once per corner and says nothing when the ways are alike, and how steep a hill must be before it is mentioned depends on how much you have asked your coach to talk.
On a route, your coach mentions the climb ahead only when it is steep enough for how much you have asked your coach to talk.
The top of every workout page is now one line, with the kind of workout on the left and icons for your treadmill, strap, watch, sharing and coach on the right. Tapping a device opens Devices, tapping the share icon opens sharing, and tapping the coach shows its full status for two seconds. The only words there are your coach's warnings, and the treadmill appears only once Jaksa has heard from it recently.
When you share a workout, you now make one choice of who sees it: anyone with the link, your followers, or specific people, each with their own access. You can also choose whether they see your conversation with your coach. The screen has Send link, Copy and a red Stop sharing button, and Save appears only when something has changed.
The share screen no longer opens on its own. When your coach starts sharing for you, the status line at the top says so instead.

Build 136 · 18 October 2026

Your coach now suggests one Jaksa feature that fits your workout

During a workout your coach may now suggest one Jaksa feature that suits what you are doing. It might be letting others follow your run live, playing your own music, having Jaksa set your treadmill's speed, a reminder, a route, a beat to run to, another coach voice, or having your coach talk more or less.
You hear at most one suggestion per workout, never before minute 8, and only when the feature makes sense for that workout.
Once a feature has been suggested, your coach does not suggest it again for the next one to three workouts, and never more than three times in all.
A suggestion never comes on top of something your coach is already saying. When you slow to a walk and your coach asks whether you want to pause, no suggestion comes on top of that question either.

Build 135 · 17 October 2026

Treadmill hills and intervals by voice, and truer route lines

On a treadmill you can now ask your coach for hills and intervals, such as "incline down 1% every 10 m" or "every 100 m switch between 14 and 7". Before, a request like that left your coach saying nothing came back.
Incline steps are at most 3% each and stop at the top you name, at flat, or at your treadmill's limit. Intervals begin by switching to the setting you are not on, and the speeds and inclines you name are used as given, even when the jump between them is larger than Jaksa would make on its own.
If Jaksa cannot control your treadmill, your coach tells you at each switch or step so you can change it yourself.
When your coach cannot set or cancel a reminder you asked for, it now tells you why and can set it again. Anything else it did in the same answer still goes ahead.
The line of your route now follows every bend, so a small loop shows as the loop you ran instead of a zigzag. This is the same on the run page in the app, on jaksa.run, on the page where others follow your run live and on maps in your photos, and even very long runs still draw quickly. Your distance is unchanged.

Build 134 · 17 October 2026

Full-screen photos are easier to close, share and swipe through

When you open a photo full screen, the close button and the Share button now sit below the clock and battery and are larger. Before, they sat on top of them, where your phone took the tap instead of Jaksa.
Swiping from one photo to the next no longer flashes black. A photo you zoomed into goes back to its normal size once you swipe past it.
The Share button now shows your phone's usual share sign, and the close button is a clear cross.
A run now keeps its photos even if it is sent, or you switch accounts, while Jaksa is still adding them. Before, those photos could go missing.

Build 133 · 17 October 2026

Your coach now says what it did, not just "done"

When your coach does something you asked, it now says what it did, such as which page it showed or which goal it kept. Before, it could answer with a bare "sure", "there" or "done", which left you unsure whether anything had happened.
While your coach is still working on a request, it now makes a short "mm" instead of saying "sure". It also no longer says "done" before the thing is actually done.
When you ask your coach to send a report, it now tells you in its own words what it sent. Before, it said only "Sent".

Build 132 · 17 October 2026

Music at a beat asks first, and coach lines are words only

When you ask for music at a certain beat and no song at that rate can play, your coach now says why, such as no music service being connected or your service having no songs at that beat. It then offers your own music without the beat, when your service is working, or a short loop of Jaksa's own music at that rate, and waits for your yes. Before, a runner with no music service connected got Jaksa's music straight away.
Jaksa's own music now plays for at most three minutes at a time, even if you change the rate along the way. When the three minutes are up it stops, nothing else starts in its place, and your coach encourages you to hold the rhythm on your own.
Your coach now answers in words. Breathing sounds such as a pant or a sigh no longer appear as coach lines in your conversations, on the run page, on the lock screen or on jaksa.run, and a line that was only a sound is left out.
A conversation that begins with such sounds now shows its first real words in your list of conversations, and searching your conversations finds matches that those sounds used to hide.
When you connect an AI assistant you use to Jaksa, the approval card now names the website your approval is sent to, or says it goes to an app on this computer, so you can stop if it is not the assistant you meant. A long website address now wraps onto the next line, so you can see where it ends on a phone screen.

Build 131 · 17 October 2026

Speed and incline now change together on the treadmill

When you ask your coach for more than one treadmill change in one sentence, such as "set five percent incline and six kilometres per hour", Jaksa now makes every change you asked for. Before, it often made only one of them, for example raising the incline but leaving the speed as it was.
Asking for a single change, such as only a faster speed or only more incline, works as before.

Build 130 · 17 October 2026

Your coach asks before ending a workout

When you say "stop the workout", your coach now asks whether to end it, and the workout ends only when you answer yes. Before, Jaksa could end your workout the moment you said it, while your coach was still asking.
Saying "stop the workout" on its own no longer ends anything: the yes has to be your answer to your coach's question. Asking to stop is also no longer taken as a request to pause, and if a pause was asked for just before, your yes still ends the workout.
Pausing, resuming and asking your coach to talk less still happen straight away, without a question.

Build 129 · 17 October 2026

One sound at a time, and clearer answers when music cannot play

When your own music starts during a workout, whether from Apple Music, Spotify or a reminder that plays music, Jaksa's beat now stops. Before, the beat could keep playing under your song and you heard both at once.
When you ask for a beat, your Apple Music or Spotify is now paused before the click starts. Your coach is also told when the beat stops, so it no longer mentions a beat that is not playing.
If you ask for a beat while your coach is still looking for a song in Apple Music, a song found after that stays paused and your beat carries on.
When you ask for music at a certain beat from Apple Music and it cannot play, your coach now tells you why in a few words, such as not being allowed to read your library or finding no songs at that rate. Before, it only said "That didn't go through", which it now says only when no answer came at all.

Build 128 · 17 October 2026

Draw your own routes on jaksa.run, and a quieter Devices screen

On jaksa.run, My routes now lets you click points on a map, and Jaksa finds a way on foot between them, showing its length, climbing and turns. Once saved with a name, the route appears in the app, your coach can guide you along it by voice, and it becomes your next workout's route unless you untick that. An AI assistant you connect can draw routes the same way.
Routes your coach makes no longer run along highways or their frontage roads, count stretches beside busy roads against a route and prefer footpaths. Asking for a flat or hilly route now keeps the length you asked for, and if no route of that length is found, your coach tells you both lengths.
The Devices screen in Settings is much simpler: your own devices come first, it searches while open, a tap on a remembered device in range connects it, and one switch at the top turns all devices off. A heart rate strap is now kept as yours only when you tap it there. Before, START could save any strap nearby, even someone else's, and a strap saved that way is forgotten once.
The large treadmill card on the home screen is now a small treadmill icon in the header, blue while Jaksa controls the treadmill. If the treadmill loses its connection and slows down, your coach asks once whether to bring it back to its speed and changes the belt only on your yes. Tapping START with a treadmill connected now records an indoor run in Apple Health, on your Apple Watch and on Strava.
After a run, your coach now tells you whether the workout is waiting for your OK, on its way to Strava or already there. Saying it is not on Strava now sends it rather than keeping it off, and an answer that arrives after you tap Done still shows on screen.
You can now set or change the name Jaksa uses for you in Settings under Account, or on jaksa.run under My workouts. Signing in with Google no longer replaces a name you chose.

Build 127 · 17 October 2026

Follow links open in the app, and music offered over your beat

When someone with Jaksa on their iPhone taps a link to follow a workout live, it now opens in the app as a full-screen view, whether or not they are signed in. Before, it always opened in the browser, which is still what happens without the app.
That view shows the workout's status, the main numbers, an estimated finish, a map with where the runner is now, the splits including the kilometre under way, the messages and a box for sending a cheer. It refreshes every 30 seconds while open, and the map moves to keep the growing route in view.
An AI assistant you connect can now read a followed workout from its link: the numbers, the estimated finish, the splits and the messages, but not the route.
When you ask your coach for a beat, the click now starts straight away. After about twenty steps your coach asks once whether you would like it with music, and on a yes picks a style for you at the same rate.
The music offer only comes with a single steady click that has no set end. If your coach is reconnecting at that moment, it asks once it is back, and if you say no it does not ask again during that workout.

Build 126 · 17 October 2026

Kilometre check-ins now spoken as one natural sentence

At each kilometre your coach now tells you how it went in one sentence, the way a running partner would. Before, it read out the kilometre's time, your total time and what was left as a run of numbers.
That sentence gives the kilometre's own time exactly, your total time rounded, such as "about 36 minutes in", and how much of your goal is left. Anything else your talk level adds comes after it.

Build 125 · 17 October 2026

Apple Music plays what you ask for, and says when it cannot

Asking your coach to play an artist now works even when part of Apple Music's answer cannot be read. Before, a request such as "play Red Hot Chili Peppers" could fail completely and your coach only said it did not go through. Now, if an artist's top songs cannot be fetched, songs by that name are played instead.
When playing music does fail, your coach now tells you plainly what kind of problem it was, in your language.
Asking for songs by an artist now plays only that artist. Asking for Queen no longer queues songs by an artist whose name merely contains it, such as Queen Naija, while songs credited to Queen together with another artist still count.
If one of your own playlists fails to play, your coach now says so. It no longer plays someone else's playlist with the same name instead.

Build 124 · 17 October 2026

Sensor pods on the Devices screen, cadence from your shoes

The Devices screen now lists Polar Verity Sense pods on their own under Sensor pods, with each pod's battery and a line that says when it is on its charger.
Each pod has buttons for where it is worn, such as on a shoe, on your lower back or on your arm, and your iPhone remembers this for that pod. An AI assistant you connect can also see your pods and where they are worn.
When you start a workout, every pod you have placed connects, reconnects if it drops out, and shows its own dot so you can see that it is working.
With pods on your shoes, Jaksa counts your steps a minute from them and uses that as your cadence. A foot pod still comes first and the shoe pods come before your watch, but their count is not used if it is more than a quarter away from a recent count from your watch.
A pod can now be your heart-rate strap only if you have placed it on your arm. Even then any real strap is chosen over it, and the pod is never remembered as your strap.
Looking at a pod on the Devices screen during a workout no longer interrupts its recording, and a pod that does not answer at the start is asked again. A pod you take off its charger during a workout is recorded too and stops when you finish.

Build 123 · 17 October 2026

Polar sensor recordings kept with your workouts

When you start a workout, Jaksa now connects to the Polar sensors near you, such as Verity Sense pods and a Polar chest strap. It records everything they measure at their highest rate and keeps it with that workout.
These recordings wait on your iPhone and are sent only after the workout itself has arrived, so they never hold up your run. They are deleted when you delete the run.
The recordings are kept even if you stop the workout within a second or two of starting or resuming it. Nothing is cut off if the last moment fails to save at first.
A recording made while you are signed in to one account is never sent while another account is signed in.
A Verity Sense pod is never used as your heart-rate strap. Before, a pod on your shoe could take the strap's place just by being closest, and its readings meant nothing as a heart rate.

Build 122 · 17 October 2026

Beat music from 170 steps a minute, Health workouts for routes

When you run to a beat, music now plays only at 170 steps per minute or faster. Below that you hear the click instead, and your coach tells you why. Before, a music track could be slowed down to play at about 161.
If you ask for music at a cadence under 170, or for a beat that dips under 170 for part of the run, you get the click for that beat rather than a slowed track.
In Settings, Help make routes better now includes your workouts from Apple Health by default. They are kept for Jaksa's own work on better routes and are never passed on to anyone else.

Build 121 · 17 October 2026

Your coach can suggest a popular running place near you

Your coach now knows the popular running places and running tracks within about 5 km of where you start, as soon as your iPhone finds your position, so he can talk about them during your run.
About five minutes into a workout, he may suggest one of these places that he has not suggested to you before. This happens at most once per workout, and each place is suggested to you only once.
He makes no suggestion while you follow a route, or while he is paused, set to quiet or switched off.
A running track that is also a popular place counts as one place, so it is never suggested under two names.

Build 120 · 17 October 2026

Routes through popular running places and a background Health import

You can now ask your coach for a route to or through a popular running place, such as a park or a well-known trail, and he tells you which of these places the route runs on. A route that ends at one finishes at its nearest point, and one that goes through it takes the shortest way in and along it.
When you ask for a plain loop, your coach now tries to take it past the most popular running place nearby, and keeps that way if it comes out at the same length. Popular places are known in 15 cities so far, including Austin, Chicago and Paris.
An AI assistant you connect can also look up popular running places near you and plan routes through them.
Your history from Apple Health now keeps importing while Jaksa is closed, not only while it is open. Your iPhone wakes Jaksa now and then while the history is still coming in, and the import card in Settings shows what came in meanwhile.
Your iPhone lets Jaksa read Apple Health only while it is unlocked, so nothing is imported while it is locked. Nothing is imported in the background if you swipe Jaksa away. The import never runs during a workout and never asks you anything while Jaksa is closed.

Build 119 · 17 October 2026

Your coach pauses, resumes and ends your workout faster

When you ask your coach to pause, resume or end your workout, he now confirms it in about a second and a half instead of about four.
What he says while doing it is shorter, so you get back to your run with less talk in your ears.

Build 118 · 17 October 2026

Your own alerts, spoken by your coach during a workout

You can now have your own alerts during a workout. You, your coach or an AI assistant you connect can write a short rule over your live numbers, such as heart rate, pace and distance, and when it fires your coach says it straight away.
Your rules are checked about every 15 seconds while you run. You can have up to ten.
You can create, try out, list, change and delete rules by asking your coach in the chat or through an AI assistant you connect. Each change keeps the earlier versions.
Each rule runs on its own, so if one fails or is deleted during a workout, the others keep working. A rule that fires is said once, even if two checks happen at the same moment.
A rule can send information out only to public web addresses over a secure connection, and never to Jaksa itself.

Build 117 · 17 October 2026

Cheers from followers read aloud, and music for your beat

Followers of a workout you share live can now send you short messages from the follow page on jaksa.run while your workout is going on. About every 30 seconds your coach reads new ones to you word for word, as Message from Yana for someone signed in to Jaksa or as a guest message with the name they signed for anyone else.
Messages are limited to a few per share every five minutes, and ones that are abusive or try to give orders to your coach are not sent. If you have switched the coach off, messages wait until you switch it back on, and nothing more is read out once you stop the workout.
You can ask your coach to post an update for your followers, and they see it on the follow page together with the messages and who is watching. An AI assistant you connect can also post updates during your workout and send cheers to a workout you follow.
You can now ask your coach for music instead of the click, for example some music at 175, a rock beat, or something like an artist you name. The coach picks the closest of Jaksa's own tracks in rock, electronic, R&B or reggae and plays it looped at your step rate without changing its pitch. It does not play the artist's own songs.
The click is still the default beat. A track is downloaded once and kept on your phone, and if it cannot be fetched, you hear the click instead.

Jaksa now only uploads to Strava and no longer reads from it

Jaksa no longer reads anything from Strava, in line with Strava's new rules for apps. Workouts that came in from Strava are being removed from Jaksa with their maps, photos, notes and records, and the Strava history card is gone from Settings. Your workout history now comes from Apple Health.
Your Strava name and picture are being removed from your Jaksa account. If you first signed up with Google or Microsoft, the name from that sign-in stays.
Connecting Strava now asks only for permission to upload, and Jaksa keeps nothing about your Strava profile. Uploading a workout, its name and description, changing its kind and View on Strava work as before.
Jaksa can no longer check whether your watch has already put the same run on Strava before uploading it. When Jaksa updates its note on Strava, it now writes the whole description, so lines other apps had added there are not kept.
The line on Progress, Workouts and Settings now says Connect your personal assistant, and the Settings card is called Your personal assistant. A new Other choice opens a page on jaksa.run with the address and the usual steps for any AI assistant you connect by a web address. Every connection page now has a Copy button, and if your browser will not copy, it selects the address and tells you.
The bottom of Settings now shows which build of Jaksa is on your phone. A long press selects it so you can copy it.

Build 115 · 17 October 2026

Let other people follow your run live on jaksa.run

You can now share a workout live. A Share live button on the workout's first screen lets you choose anyone with the link or only the Jaksa accounts you name by their sign-in email, and whether followers can read your conversation with the coach; your coach can also start a share when you ask. Followers open the link on jaksa.run and see your distance, time, pace, heart rate, splits, a finish estimate against today's goal and a map of where you are, with the first 200 m left off the map and the last 200 m too once you finish. The link stops working when you stop sharing, and an hour after the workout ends it only says the workout has ended. Workouts shared with you by name appear under Following now on My workouts.
When you ask the coach for a route along streets you name, it now comes back in your order within seconds. Before, this could take many minutes. Loops, and routes that bring you back after a set distance, are now chosen to come close to the length you asked for, with little ground covered twice and as few busy roads without lights as possible.
If you get a new route during a workout, your coach now gives the distance of the whole workout including what you have already run, not just the route's own length. It also tells you which turn starts the last stretch and how far is left after it.
On a track, each lap check-in now gives only that lap's time and its pace in your pace unit. Your total time and the laps or distance left are no longer read out every lap, but your coach still tells you when you ask.
Apple Health workouts are now brought in newest first until your whole history is in, so a new workout shows up straight away while older years keep arriving. Settings, under Apple Health, shows how many of your workouts have been brought in so far, and gives you a way to allow access again if you had refused it.
Asking the coach after a run to change the tone, for example to make it more jocular, now rewrites Jaksa's note on Strava in that tone as well, and the rest of your Strava description stays as it was. Before, only what the coach said changed. If no note fits the tone you asked for, the coach tells you and the old note stays.

Build 114 · 17 October 2026

Jaksa keeps hold of your treadmill during a workout

While your workout is connected to the treadmill over Bluetooth, your phone no longer shares your heart rate with the treadmill's screen. Before, the treadmill picking up your heart rate from the phone could break the phone's connection to it, so Jaksa lost control of the treadmill partway through a run. A treadmill workout without a Bluetooth connection still shares your heart rate as before.
If your phone was already sharing your heart rate when the workout connects to the treadmill, it now stops at that moment.
If the connection drops while Jaksa is controlling the treadmill, Jaksa now asks for control again by itself once it finds the treadmill, and your coach tells you when control is back. Before, the phone found the treadmill again but never took control back. Taking control back does not change the belt's speed.
If the treadmill itself reports that it has taken control away from Jaksa, Jaksa does not ask for it back and stops any attempt already on its way.

Build 113 · 16 October 2026

Heart rate from your Apple Watch no longer stalls

When your Apple Watch records a run, one message that your phone does not answer no longer holds up everything behind it. Before, heart rate, distance and button presses from the watch could stop reaching your phone for several minutes. Now the watch gives up on that message after five seconds and sends the next one.
If your watch is recording and no heart rate from it has reached your phone for 30 seconds, your coach now tells you once, quietly. Time spent paused does not count.
This warning follows whichever device is recording your run. If the watch takes over from the phone partway through, or the phone takes over from the watch, the warning follows the change, even when it happens during the 3-2-1 countdown.
When you go back into a workout that was cut off, the 30 seconds now count from when your phone starts listening again. Before, the warning could come straight away.

Build 112 · 16 October 2026

Your picture shows the moment Jaksa opens

Your picture in the round button at the top left of the home screen now shows as soon as Jaksa opens. Before, it showed the outline of a person first, and your photo appeared only after Jaksa had downloaded it again, which it did every time you opened the app.
Jaksa now keeps your picture, name and email on your phone and brings them up to date when they change. A new picture is downloaded once, a picture you removed disappears, and a picture you choose in Settings shows straight away.
Signing out removes your picture and name from the phone. If someone else signs in to Jaksa on the same phone, they do not see your picture.

Build 111 · 16 October 2026

Jaksa finds your treadmill while it is in the background

With Jaksa in the background and your phone locked, Jaksa now keeps listening for the treadmill it remembers and connects when you press the treadmill's Activate button. Before, it only found the treadmill while Jaksa was open on screen. If you have closed Jaksa completely, it cannot hear the treadmill until you open it again.
Pressing Start on the treadmill while Jaksa is in the background no longer starts the workout there. Instead a notification asks you to tap to start your workout and your coach, and the workout starts when Jaksa opens, because your iPhone does not let the coach use the microphone while Jaksa is in the background.
The treadmill sign on the home screen now shows Looking for or lost only within five minutes of Jaksa last hearing your treadmill, and always shows when it is connected. Before, it showed even when you were miles away from the treadmill.
If the treadmill drops out between workouts while Jaksa is in the background, you no longer get a notification about it.

Build 110 · 16 October 2026

A coach's note on your Strava runs

When Jaksa sends a run it recorded to Strava, the activity now gets a title that celebrates what you achieved and a short note from your coach as its description, signed "Jaksa coach". The note is one to four lines, leads with the best thing about the run and never includes heart rate numbers.
Records, your longest run and what counts as usual for you are judged only from runs Jaksa recorded. Standout runs also end with a line saying they were coached live by Jaksa, with a link to jaksa.run.
If you wrote your own description, it stays first and the coach's note goes under it. When Jaksa updates its note later, it replaces only its own lines and keeps anything other apps added.
You can turn the coach's note off with a switch in Settings or by asking the coach. An AI assistant you connect can turn it off for a single workout.
Turning the note back on writes it straight away, and Jaksa tells you whether it actually reached Strava.

Build 109 · 16 October 2026

Swiping through a workout's photos no longer opens Delete

On the Workouts list, swiping sideways through a workout's map and photos now only scrolls the strip. Before, once the strip was back at its start, a swipe that began on it could reveal the red Delete button.
Swiping sideways on a workout's title, numbers or description still reveals Delete as before. A workout that already shows Delete still closes when you swipe on its photos.

Build 108 · 16 October 2026

Your picture on the home screen is never blank or a question mark

Your picture on the home screen now shows your initials while your photo is still loading, and the photo replaces them once it arrives. Before, the picture stayed blank while the photo downloaded.
If Jaksa does not yet have your name or email, the picture shows a simple head-and-shoulders outline. Before, it showed a question mark until your account had loaded.

Build 107 · 16 October 2026

No visible changes in this build

Nothing you can see or do in the app or on jaksa.run has changed in this build. The work in it is behind the scenes, so runs, the coach and every screen behave as they did in the previous build.

Build 106 · 16 October 2026

Connect your own AI assistant to Jaksa

jaksa.run now has a step-by-step page for each of three popular AI assistants, showing how to connect it to your Jaksa account: drawn screens with a sentence under each, the address to copy, and what to ask it. Once it is connected, anything you do in Jaksa you can also do from that assistant, and the jaksa.run home page links to these pages.
In the app, a short line offering to connect your own assistant now sits under Records on the Progress screen and above the Workouts list. Each one can be closed, and stays closed.
Settings has a new card, Your own assistant.
The home screen no longer shows the standing line saying your workouts are not going to Strava. The one-time Strava question when you first open the app, the Strava card in Settings and the coach's question after you stop a workout are unchanged.

Build 105 · 16 October 2026

A clear sign when Jaksa is holding the treadmill

On the home screen, a card under the header now names the treadmill Jaksa is connected to and says that its Start button starts a workout here. Before, nothing on the home screen showed that Jaksa was holding the treadmill.
On the workout pages, a chip with the treadmill's name now sits where the small device dot was. It says either that the treadmill's Pause and Stop count for your workout, which it only says when Start and stop with the treadmill is switched on, or that the coach can control the belt.
Tapping the treadmill card or chip opens the Devices screen.
When the treadmill connects or is lost, Jaksa now tells you: with Jaksa open, a short line appears on screen, and otherwise you get a phone notification.
You are told once per connection. If the same treadmill comes back within 5 minutes of dropping, there is no new notice, and a lost treadmill is only reported once it has been gone for 15 seconds.

Build 104 · 16 October 2026

Drawn microphone icons, and no speaker warning during workouts

On the home screen, the microphone button beside Start run now uses the same drawn microphone as the workout screens. Before, it was a microphone emoji.
While you talk to the coach from the home screen, the mute button now uses that drawn microphone too. Before, it switched between two emoji.
The orange line under the device dots on the first workout page is gone. It said the coach was on the phone's speaker rather than your earbuds, which you can already hear for yourself.

Build 103 · 16 October 2026

Pause and resume the treadmill from your phone

With the treadmill connected and Start and stop with the treadmill switched on, pausing the workout on your phone now pauses the belt too, whether you pause on the run screen, the lock screen, Apple Watch or by asking the coach. Before, the console's Pause paused Jaksa, but the phone's Pause and Resume left the belt alone.
Resume on the phone now starts the belt again, and the workout carries on once the belt reports that it is moving, even after a quick pause. If the belt does not start, the workout stays paused and the coach tells you how to go on, and a second Resume carries on without the belt.
Ending the workout on the phone now stops the belt before the phone lets go of the treadmill, unless you already stopped it on the console. The console's Start resumes your workout wherever you paused it.
In the workouts list, the red Delete button sits behind the workout card again and only shows as you drag the card to the right. Before, it appeared above the card. The dimmed page behind the End workout sheet and the cover behind the starting countdown had the same fault, and now fill the screen behind again instead of taking up a space of their own in the page.

Build 102 · 16 October 2026

Your heart rate on the treadmill's screen, and a tidier Settings

During a treadmill workout, your phone now passes your heart rate to the treadmill as a Bluetooth heart-rate strap would, so a console that pairs with straps can show the same number the coach uses. Before, the console only had its hand grips, which on one treadmill read about 200 while the watch said 66.
The phone sends only while your heart rate comes from Apple Watch, AirPods or a strap paired to the phone, and only the reading you are shown, never a glitch or an old number repeated to fill a gap. If a strap is already paired to the treadmill itself, the phone leaves it alone, and sending stops when you end the workout, leave the treadmill or close the run screen.
The treadmill has to find your phone while its screen is on, and once paired it keeps getting your heart rate with the phone locked. The heart rate the treadmill then shows is your own coming back, so Jaksa keeps it in the run's record but does not let it replace your watch's reading.
In Settings, the middle choice for Strava now reads Ask me. Before, it read Ask me each time and ran into the edges of its button when selected.
Recently deleted workouts are now one line in Settings with their count, and a tap opens them on their own page, as What the coach remembers does. Before, they were listed straight into Settings.

Build 101 · 16 October 2026

Delete from the workouts list, and native-speaker coach voices

In the workouts list, you can now drag a workout to the right to uncover a red Delete button, and a tap on it deletes the workout without opening it. Holding a workout also offers Delete and asks first, and with VoiceOver, Delete is one of the workout's actions.
After you delete a workout, a quiet line now says it is gone, where Settings keeps it and until when, with an Undo button that brings it back at once. The line goes by itself after 12 seconds. Before, a Workout deleted pop-up appeared, and the Delete this workout? question still comes first.
Nine new coach voices are recorded by native speakers: Nuri, Juni and Flitz in German, Brise and Sillage in French, Nira in Hindi, Harema and Shida in Japanese, and Noeul in Korean. Settings now lists the voices of your coach's language first.
When you switch the coach to another language and your voice was not recorded in it, the coach now offers that language's native voices once. Before, a coach switched to German kept an English voice speaking German.
Every pace now shows a number from the first metres of a run and settles as you go. This covers average pace, this kilometre's pace, rolling pace and your pace now, on the phone, the lock screen and Apple Watch. Before, they showed a dash for the first 10 to 50 metres or 20 seconds, and until its stretch is covered, rolling pace is now your pace over the whole run so far.
Each kind of number now has its own colour on the phone, Apple Watch and jaksa.run: time gold, distance blue, pace and cadence teal, heart rate scarlet orange, calories red, power green, height sand and laps purple. Labels are grey and each chart takes its number's colour, while heart rate keeps its zone colour where the zone matters, such as the live heart-rate tile and the zone bars.

Build 100 · 16 October 2026

A clearer way to end a workout, and bigger distance on Apple Watch

Tapping End workout now opens a sheet that rises from the bottom over the dimmed workout page. It asks "End this workout?" and shows the time, distance and average pace your workout will be saved with. Before, two large buttons floated over the page.
Only the pink End workout button ends the run. Keep going, a tap on the dimmed page or a swipe down on the sheet carries on, and if you had paused, the sheet says Paused and Keep going leaves you paused. On a treadmill with no distance yet, the sheet shows a dash and asks you to say what the belt shows, and a distance you tell the coach takes its place.
On Apple Watch, distance is now a little bigger during a workout, on the main page and on your own pages, without pushing the coach's line down. Every number on the watch now stays on one line and shrinks slightly when space is tight, so on a smaller watch a long distance beside a slow pace no longer wraps.
A very short test, such as a few seconds of trying the microphone, is now dropped when your Apple Watch was connected too. Before, any workout the watch took part in was kept, so a 24-second, 5-metre test was saved, summed up by the coach and queued for Strava. The check now uses the longer of the phone's and the watch's distance, so a genuine short run with the watch is still kept.
When Apple Music cannot play because it is not yet switched on for Jaksa, the coach now says so in one plain sentence. Before, it passed on Apple's own technical error, and a playlist that happened to be called Developer Token could be wrongly reported as Apple Music not being switched on.

Build 99 · 16 October 2026

Skip or turn off the start countdown

A tap on the 3, 2, 1 countdown after you press Start now jumps straight to Go, so you no longer have to wait it out.
You can also turn the countdown off in Settings, by asking the coach, or through an AI assistant you connect, and Start then begins the workout at once. The countdown stays on unless you turn it off, and your phone remembers the choice, so Start never waits on a connection.
Settings, Memories and Devices now keep their title and Done button in a fixed bar at the top, and on Devices the button back to Settings stays there too. Before, the way out scrolled away with the list.
The current-kilometre box on the phone now names itself, showing This km, the kilometre number and the distance to go, as it already did on Apple Watch. Before, it read KM 1, NOW, 0.97 TO GO, which could be mistaken for your last kilometre so far.
On a running track, the lap line in the current-kilometre box now sits on its own line, so the longer heading no longer pushes it off the edge of a narrow phone.

Build 98 · 16 October 2026

One run, one Apple Health workout when you run with Apple Watch

A run started with Apple Watch now leaves a single workout in Apple Health: the watch's. Before, if the phone stopped waiting for the watch and recorded the run itself while the watch recorded too, Health could end up with two Outdoor Runs for the same run.
If the watch starts recording within the first half minute after the phone has begun, the watch takes the run over and the phone's workout is dropped. If the watch never gets going, or you end the run first, the phone's workout is kept, so every run still has a workout in Health.
If the watch's workout only reaches the phone later, the phone now removes its own copy from Apple Health once the watch's workout turns up, but only if it covers at least 90 percent of the run. A short scrap of a watch workout never replaces your run.
When your Apple Watch measured the run, the run sent to Strava and exported run files now use the watch's total distance, with the GPS route stretched to match it. A run with no GPS distance still carries the watch's distance, and its pauses are left out.

Build 97 · 16 October 2026

Apple Health now gets your real route, and clearer workout buttons

Apple Health now gets the same route line as Strava. Before, each GPS point went into Health as it came and could not be corrected later, so on a running track Health never showed your lane, nor the stretch before you named it. Now the whole route goes in once when you stop, with your lanes in place, and if Health refuses the route or is slow to take it, the workout is still saved.
A workout that is cut off mid-run and recovered afterwards now keeps its route in Apple Health up to that moment, including your lane on a track. A workout recorded by your Apple Watch keeps the watch's own route as before.
The workout screen now has three controls while you run: Pause workout, a small orb that switches the coach on or off, and a round microphone. End is no longer shown while running, and once paused, Resume and End workout take Pause's place. Before, switching the coach off showed "Paused" right under Pause workout, so the screen looked as if the workout was paused when it was not.
The orb is a dotted lime sphere that breathes and turns while the coach talks or listens, and stands still and grey when the coach is off. The status line now reads Coach on, Coach off or Coach can't hear you, the talk setting is Off, Quiet, Normal or Chatty, and the coach's page shows a large orb above the conversation with the controls below.
The lock screen now has a coach on or off button and a microphone button. Apple Watch has the same three controls, with End shown only once the workout is paused.

Build 96 · 16 October 2026

The coach can now control your treadmill

On a treadmill that takes commands, the coach can now set the speed and incline and start, pause or stop the belt when you ask, and says it is done only once the belt has got there. Before, Jaksa could only read the treadmill. Treadmill steps you planned now move the belt themselves, an AI assistant you connect can change it too, and the treadmill picture now shows your distance and average pace at every size.
Messages you have nothing to decide about, such as "Coach could not connect", "Your watch did not start" or "Could not start", no longer pop up when you start or during a workout. Each is now one line at the top of the screen that goes away after 12 seconds or when you tap it. The End workout question still asks as before.
The full-screen workout map no longer jumps back to you while you drag or pinch it, where before it re-centred every two seconds and took the map out from under your finger. A one-finger drag stops it following you until you tap the follow button, and the small maps now say "tap to move the map".
On Apple Watch, Hold to end is gone: End workout is one tap that pauses the workout and opens a full screen with End and Keep going, as on the phone. Ending on the phone now ends the watch workout at that same moment, even if the watch was out of reach for a while, and the watch's start screen shows plain words instead of Apple Health's error messages.
On a running track the coach no longer announces slopes or climbs, which came from false height readings around the bends, and no longer reads out kilometre splits, even after a lane change. It now says it noticed the track before asking which lane you are in. On Strava each lane is now drawn as one line instead of twice.
The coach mentions the slope far less, calls a gentle 2 to 3 percent rise nearly flat, and stops when you say "be quiet". Split check-ins now sound natural in Bulgarian and French, and a split is never repeated after you switch language. A request you make while the coach is talking is now carried out instead of lost, and when you ask whether something was done, the coach checks instead of guessing.

Build 95 · 16 October 2026

The coach now lets you finish speaking

The coach no longer cuts in when you pause mid-sentence. Speaking in short bursts, trailing off, or using a different language from the coach no longer gets you "I didn't quite catch that" or a request to repeat yourself.
If you are still talking when you end a workout, the coach now waits until you have been quiet for a couple of seconds before giving its summary, and never longer than 20 seconds. Before, the summary could come over your words. If you end a workout in silence, the summary comes as quickly as before.
The summary at the end of a workout now comes exactly once, even if the coach's connection drops and comes back at that moment.

Build 94 · 16 October 2026

One tap to end a workout, and walks no longer pause themselves

Ending a workout now takes one tap on End workout instead of holding a button. The clock stops at once and a full screen asks End or Keep going: End finishes the workout at the moment you tapped, and Keep going carries on, with the wait counted as a pause.
A walk started as a run no longer pauses itself every time your pace dips. At walking pace the coach asks instead of pausing, while a stop after running, even a slow jog, still pauses at once. If you answer yes to "is today a walk?", the whole workout is now recorded as a walk.
A workout under 2 minutes and under 100 metres, such as a quick mic check, is no longer kept. The finish screen says "Not kept" and it never reaches your history, Strava or Apple Health, but any workout your Apple Watch recorded is always kept, however short.
The coach is no longer offered as a phone call, so that setting is gone and a call screen no longer covers your workout panel on the locked phone. Squeezing your AirPods still mutes the coach and Call me works as before. Starting from your Apple Watch with the phone in your pocket needs a tap on the phone's notification again.
On a running track, track mode is now offered within seconds of stepping onto it rather than minutes later, and walking across the lanes no longer counts. Once you name your lane the map redraws the whole stretch onto it, each lap gets a check-in instead of the usual splits, and the briefing gives your recent lap times.
With an Apple Watch on, a GPS jump further than your watch's speed allows is left out of the live distance and the map line. Asking the coach to switch language or voice now always works, where before it could leave you with no coach at all.

Build 93 · 16 October 2026

Jaksa tells you when your Apple Watch did not start

When your Apple Watch has Jaksa on it but does not start with a workout, the run screen now says "Your watch did not start" with the watch's reason, and the coach mentions it in its first words. Before, the phone quietly recorded the workout on its own and nothing told you. If you have no watch, nothing changes.
This warning comes up after the 3-2-1 count and never holds up your start, so your workout time in Jaksa and in Apple Health both begin when you press start.
The lock-screen panel for your workout now stays up when Jaksa is restarted in the background during a workout, for example after an app update. If your iPhone refuses to show it, Jaksa asks again the next time you bring the app to the front. Before, the panel could vanish for the rest of the workout.
If you turn location access back on during a workout, Jaksa now picks up your location again.
The coach now only calls a workout your second one today when an earlier workout today really counts: your planned session for today, or a workout about as long or as far as your usual shorter ones. Before, any short test or one-minute mic check from earlier in the day was enough.
A workout under 5 minutes and under 1 km is treated as a test and never counts as an earlier workout. If you have fewer than five workouts so far, an earlier workout counts once it reaches 20 minutes or 3 km.

Build 92 · 16 October 2026

Nothing new for runners in this build

This build changes nothing you can see or use in the app or on jaksa.run. The coach, your workouts, your routes and your runs on the website work exactly as they did in the previous build.

Build 91 · 16 October 2026

No changes you will notice in this build

Nothing in the app or on jaksa.run looks or works differently in this build. The coach, your workouts and your routes all behave as they did in the previous build.

Build 90 · 16 October 2026

The coach keeps to your chosen talk level after reconnecting

After the coach reconnects, for example when you switch it back to English, it now keeps to the talk level you chose. Before, a coach set to quiet could read your heart rate zone back to you every 15 seconds for many minutes.
A reconnected coach now says it is back and then stays silent until there is something worth saying. A routine update on your run is never on its own a reason for it to speak.
When you switch the coach off and back on, it returns at your talk level, including a level you changed while it was off. The coach on a "Call me" phone call keeps the workout's talk level, and when you ask it to talk less, its reply saying it will be quieter is no longer cut short.
The time your workout will finish is now written the way your phone writes clocks, such as 3:24 PM on a 12-hour phone, so it no longer reads like minutes run. It follows your phone's 12/24-hour setting, picks up a change to it when you come back to the app, and keeps your language's own way of writing the time.
On the wide time-left widget, each number is now labelled "time left", "total at finish" or "clock at finish". The coach uses the same labels, so asking what a number means gets the answer the screen shows.

Build 89 · 16 October 2026

The coach does what it says after you switch its language

After you switch the coach to another language during a workout, it now carries out what you ask, such as dropping the route you are following, passing on a problem you report or switching back to English. Before, it could say it had done these things when nothing had changed.
The same now holds after the coach reconnects following a lost connection, and after you change its voice.
When you ask the coach to switch language, it no longer says it has switched before the switch has actually happened.
If you asked the coach to drop a route and it is still being followed, telling the coach so makes it drop the route again rather than offering it back to you. Before, a route the coach only claimed to have dropped kept being followed, and you could be told you had reached its end.

Build 88 · 15 October 2026

Follow the route of one of your past workouts

You can now ask the coach to follow the route of one of your past workouts, described in your own words, such as "my most recent outdoor ten-kilometre run" or the workout's name. Before, the coach asked you for a GPX file.
Workouts brought in from Strava can be found by the name they have on Strava. Only workouts recorded outdoors with a GPS track are offered, so a treadmill run is never picked as a route.
If you are at the start of that route, the coach follows it straight away. If you are somewhere else, it asks whether you want a way to its start first or to join the route at its nearest point, and a loop is then followed all the way round from where you join.
If your phone does not know where you are yet, the route is kept for your next workout. The same happens when you set it up through an AI assistant you connect.

Build 87 · 15 October 2026

Workout names follow the language you spoke most

A workout's name and description are now written in the language you and the coach spoke most during it. Before, if you switched the coach to another language and then back, the name could still come out in the language you had left.
On a long workout, the name now reflects the whole conversation, not only its start and end, so a stretch in another language in the middle counts too.
A workout with no conversation is named in the language you last chose for the coach.

Build 86 · 15 October 2026

Nothing new to see in this build

This build changes nothing you can see or do in the app or on jaksa.run. Running with the coach works as it did in the previous build.

Build 85 · 15 October 2026

The coach notices a second workout and finds tracks near you

When you start another workout on a day you have already trained, the coach now knows about the earlier ones. Instead of asking how far or how long you want to go, it says this is another one today and asks whether it is a walk, another easy one or an all-out effort, then coaches you that way.
Ask the coach which track you are at or whether there is one nearby, and it now looks around where your phone is and names up to ten tracks. Before, it asked you for a street first.
During a workout, the coach looks for tracks from where you are on this run, not from where your last workout ended. If your phone has not found your position yet, the coach says it does not know where you are.
Asking about a track is no longer taken to mean you are running on one.

Build 84 · 15 October 2026

The coach comes back after every call and knows where you started

If a phone call comes in during a workout, the coach now always comes back once no call is left, even after a second call. Before, the coach could stay silent after a second call until the workout ended. If its voice does not return within a few seconds, the coach calls you again.
The coach now knows where your workout started. Ask for a route back to where you started, or ask it to remember the start as a place, and it uses the first spot your phone recorded. Before, it did not understand and asked you where that was.
When you ask the coach to hand a route over to the route planner, it now does so instead of saying it cannot, and passes on what you said about the route in the last ten minutes. This also works for a route to replace one you did not like or one with conditions the coach cannot meet itself, and a yes to the coach's own offer starts it at once.
A route planned during a workout now keeps where the workout started and the way you have already come.
On a walk, the coach now offers to pause only after you have stood still for two minutes, once per walk, and never together with another question. Before, it could ask several times in a few minutes, and a yes meant for something else could pause the walk. Runs and the auto-pause switch are unchanged.

Build 83 · 15 October 2026

A workout's map, photos and videos together, as on Strava

On the Workouts list, each card now shows the map and every photo and video from that run in one sideways row you can swipe, map first. Before, the map and photos were stuck together, a single photo made the card twice as tall, and videos did not show at all.
You can now add videos to a run, just like photos. On the list they play silently and on a loop, one at a time and only while on screen, and they stop when you swipe over to Progress. Playing a video does not cut the microphone while you are talking with the coach.
A workout's own page now opens with a large map, with the first picture in its corner, a pulsing camera marker where it was taken and dots for the others. A picture without a place of its own is placed on your route at the time it was taken.
Tapping a photo or video now opens it full screen: swipe between them, pinch to zoom, swipe down to close, or share it through your phone. Under each one is a small map and where you were at that moment, with distance, time, pace, heart rate and street.
Photos that come in from Strava keep the place they were taken. Videos you posted on Strava are not brought in yet.
An AI assistant you connect can now see each photo and video of a run, with its length and the minute, kilometre and place where it was taken.

Build 82 · 15 October 2026

A reworded jaksa.run home page, with no changes in the app

Nothing has changed in the app in this build. The coach, the run screen and Settings work just as they did in the previous build.
The home page on jaksa.run has new wording. Each visitor sees one of three headlines, and the page now describes only what the coach has already done on real runs, so the example run on the page no longer shows hill lengths.

Build 81 · 15 October 2026

A beat to run to, at any step rate

You can now ask the coach for a beat: a woodblock click on every step, at any step rate. Say "give me a beat at 175" for a set rate, or just "give me a beat" to match the step rate you are running at now, then "faster" or "stop the beat".
The coach can also offer to play a beat at your current step rate for about 30 seconds, then about 5 percent quicker, before fading it out, to help you pick up your cadence. It only starts once you say yes.
The beat keeps playing with the phone locked, drops while the coach speaks, goes silent when you mute or pause, and stops the moment you press stop. The coach knows when the beat is playing and at what rate.

Build 80 · 15 October 2026

Reminders counted back from the finish, and treadmill steps on time

You can now set a reminder counted back from the end of today's target, such as ten minutes before the end or 500 m to go. You can set it before the start or during a run, in the chat or through an AI assistant you connect. When the coach goes over your reminders, it says where each one falls and how far away it is.
These reminders move with your target, so if you say "make it 12 k" they shift to match, and one that is now behind you is said straight away. If you have no target yet, the coach keeps the reminder and asks how far or how long you plan to go. When you change the target and ask for a reminder in the same request, the reminder is placed against the new target.
Treadmill speed changes you set at a distance now keep to the distances you named. Before, if you named a distance you had already passed, the whole series was counted from the moment the coach heard it and could come about 0.2 km late. Now that step happens at once and the rest stay on schedule.
A repeating reminder set from a distance you have already passed is now said once, not once for each point you have passed. A later reminder that is still ahead of you is no longer skipped along with them.
A treadmill you connected before a run now shows in Settings, Devices, even when the run screen is closed. A treadmill no longer goes silent when the search for a heart-rate strap finds it first.

Build 79 · 15 October 2026

Routes along named trails, and sensors that no longer clash

You can now ask the coach for routes that one simple request could not describe before: along a named trail, down both banks of a river, past several landmarks, or a race distance through them. Planning one takes a couple of minutes, so during a run the coach first asks whether you want to wait. If you say yes, the route counts what you have already run, and the coach tells you as soon as it is ready.
A route like this comes as one route, or as the two closest ones with what each gives up, and the coach follows the one you choose. An AI assistant you connect can plan these routes for you at home too. Routes through places on streets work as before.
A treadmill, heart-rate strap and footpod now share one Bluetooth connection per device. Before, a treadmill that also sends heart rate or footpod data could be connected to several times at once, and the connections kept cancelling each other out.
Every workout page now shows a dot for each device with its state, and the coach knows the state of each device.
A treadmill you connect before a run now stays connected if you go into Settings, for up to five minutes.

Build 78 · 15 October 2026

Trim a run stopped late, end at your target, and miles by voice

If you stopped a workout late, you can now trim the end off it on the run's page, at a distance or a time, or ask for it in the chat or through an AI assistant you connect. Distance, time, splits and laps are worked out again, and Undo brings back the whole recording. A run not yet on Strava goes there trimmed; one already there has to be cropped on strava.com, because Strava does not let apps change distance or time.
With a distance or time target set, the coach now asks you once, about three minutes in, whether the workout should end when you reach it. If you say yes, the workout ends by itself at the target and the coach tells you. Otherwise the coach still offers to end the run, as before.
You can ask the coach to switch to miles during a workout, and screens, lock screen, reminders, routes and split calls change at once. Mile splits carry on from your last whole mile. Before, the change only took effect from your next workout.
The screen now stays on from start to stop while the workout pages are up, so the phone no longer locks itself mid-run.
A new track widget for your pages draws the oval of a running track, where you are on it and where your lap started. On a treadmill it shows a 400 m track by your distance. The heart-rate chart now has a title, bpm marks up the side and time along the bottom, during the run, on the run's page and on jaksa.run.
Strava now has a third choice in settings, Never, which keeps every workout off Strava. Send to Strava under a single workout still sends that one. Before you agree to send a workout, the card on the finish screen and the coach now say exactly what goes: distance, time and pace in your units, heart rate, power and cadence only when they were measured, and the route or no map.

Build 77 · 15 October 2026

Change your route mid-run, and steadier coaching on long runs

During a run you can now ask the coach to make your route longer or shorter by a distance you name, to take you home, or to drop the route. A longer or shorter route still ends where it was going to end. The coach does this every time you ask, even after it has said the route is finished.
An AI assistant you connect can now change or drop the route of a workout in progress. Your phone picks up the change within about half a minute and builds it from where you are.
A loop made during a run no longer counts as finished a few seconds after you join it. If you join a loop at its very end, the route now starts from the beginning of that loop.
Late in a long run, the coach no longer goes silent at a check-in. Before, a split check-in or the offer to end the run could fail to come through when the coach had too much to take in at once.
When you ask for several things at once, such as a split, a reminder and a goal, the coach still knows your current heart rate, pace, distance and time. Before, it could lose them for that answer.

Build 76 · 15 October 2026

Routes through the places you name, at the length you ask for

You can now ask the coach for a whole route in one request: where to start, places to pass, where to end, how long in all, and whether you want hills. It adds a loop at the last place you name to make up the length. A request like "up to that street, loop there, end at home, 3.5 km in all" now works, where before the coach could not build it.
Sometimes the places you name need more distance than the length you asked for. The coach then offers two routes instead of picking one: one that passes every place at its real length, and one at your length that leaves out the place costing the most distance, or a plain loop. It says what each one gives up, asks you once and follows the one you choose.
A route now only counts as your length if it is within about 6 percent of it. Before, a route up to 200 m short could pass as close enough. If the streets around you cannot make the length you asked for, the coach tells you.
If you name an end, the route goes there, even when it is very close to your start. It only comes back to where you started when you do not give an end. A plain loop back to the start now follows your wish for hills or no hills.
During a run you can give a different start, such as home, and the coach still uses where you are now, so a route "from home to here" works. A route can pass up to eight places. If you ask for more, the coach tells you, where before it quietly dropped one.

Build 75 · 15 October 2026

New workout pages during a run, and a page to make them yours

During a workout the starting pages are now Workout, Effort, This km, Map and Coach. The first page, Workout, keeps its small map.
After those five comes a sixth page, Make these pages yours, which invites you to set up pages of your own. It has no button and disappears as soon as you make a page of your own, however you make it.
If you already have pages of your own, you keep them. Resetting your pages brings back the five starting pages and the Make these pages yours page.
The Apple Watch shows the new starting pages too.

Build 74 · 15 October 2026

Tap a map during a run to open it full screen

During a workout you can now swipe through every page, including pages with a map. Before, touching a map stopped the pages from swiping until you pressed a small Done button. A map on a page is now a still picture.
Tapping the small or the big map opens it full screen over the workout, where you can drag and pinch freely. Your time, pace, distance and heart rate stay along the top, and a button puts the map back on your position.
To leave the full-screen map, tap the Back to the workout bar, or swipe down on the bar or on the numbers. It also closes by itself after 20 seconds untouched, when you pause the run, or when the coach turns to one of the pages. Switching the coach to quiet leaves it open.

Build 73 · 15 October 2026

Apple Music, run reminders, saved places and one Devices screen

Jaksa now plays Apple Music inside the app, and the coach can play, pause, skip, go back, say what is playing, or put on an artist or one of your playlists when you ask. Settings has a new Music section with Apple Music and Spotify, where you choose which one plays when both are connected.
The coach can make a playlist from your own songs at your step rate, in Spotify or Apple Music, and start it straight away during a run. If you connected Spotify before, Settings asks you to connect again to allow this.
During a workout you can ask the coach for a reminder after a distance, at a time on the run's clock or at a time of day, once or repeating, and you can ask it to move or cancel one. Reminders still go off with no signal and through pauses.
The coach now remembers your own places, such as home, work or the gym, and can find streets and landmarks near you. Mid-run you can ask it to take you home or to another place it knows, and if it does not know one of your places it asks once instead of guessing.
The Treadmill and Heart-rate strap cards in Settings are now one Devices line. Its screen searches for treadmills and straps together, closest first, and tapping one connects it, shows its live speed or heart rate and makes it yours. Pressing START while the app is still connecting to your treadmill now keeps that connection for the run.
The Apple Watch start screen now shows today's session as one centred title above a big Start button, or Free run on a free day. For an hour after STOP, a line at the top says the run was saved to Health and ended on your phone.

Build 72 · 15 October 2026

Heart-rate zone colours on the lock screen during a run

During a run, the lock screen panel now shows a glow in your heart-rate zone's colour down its left edge. Your heart rate and its label appear in that colour, above a bar of the five zones. The panel stays about as tall as before.
The Dynamic Island has the same look, with the time and the Pause button in lime. While the coach is talking, the glow turns lime. During a phone call, the small circle beside the call shows your heart rate in its zone colour.
When you ask the coach to change its voice, language, name, talk level, goal or route, or to send a report, it now hands the request on more reliably. If the change could not be made, it tells you plainly. Before, it sometimes said it was done when nothing had changed.

Build 71 · 15 October 2026

Quieter Strava marks, shorter Settings and Apple Watch distances kept

In the app's workouts list and on jaksa.run's My workouts, a run that is on Strava now shows a small orange dot and the word Strava in small text. Before, every card carried a bold orange "View on Strava" link.
A run's own page in the app now has a "View on Strava" link, as the run's page on jaksa.run already did. If the run is still on its way to Strava, the page keeps checking, and the link appears once the run arrives.
When your Apple Watch records a workout that starts and stops with your run, Jaksa now keeps the watch's distance even when the phone's distance is far off. Before, a large difference could make it drop the watch's distance. The watch may now start or stop up to three minutes inside the run, up from one.
A workout that lasts less than a minute from start to STOP is no longer saved to Apple Health from your iPhone. The watch app already worked this way.
Settings cards now show just a title, the control and one short line. The longer explanation sits behind a question-mark button beside each caption. Status lines such as the Strava import count, the treadmill search and a sign-in code's expiry stay in view, and so does the "Keep Jaksa open" warning under the treadmill's start and stop switch.

Build 70 · 15 October 2026

Jaksa picks up a workout cut off by an update or a crash

If a workout is cut off by an app update or a crash and you open Jaksa again within 30 minutes, it now goes straight back into that same workout. The time away counts as a pause, and your distance, splits, laps, heart rate, map line, goal, route and talk level carry on. Before, the workout was stored as ended and you had to start a new one.
When the workout resumes, the coach reconnects remembering the run so far and tells you it is back. Splits it already announced are not announced again.
Where it can, Jaksa continues the same workout in Apple Health and counts the gap as a pause. Otherwise it starts a new workout from that moment. If your Apple Watch is recording, START carries on the workout already running on the watch.
Settings now shows what the coach remembers as a single line with a count. Tapping it opens a page where you can see the list, add things, forget them or put them back. That page also has a history of every change, newest first, each with an Undo.
While the coach is switched off, it is now told nothing at all: no splits, climbs, route turns or goal reached. This also holds with Coach as a phone call on and after a phone call during the run. When you switch it back on, it gets one update with everything it missed. Pressing STOP also switches it back on, so the talk after your run still has its summary.

Build 69 · 15 October 2026

Changing the coach's voice no longer mutes your microphone

Changing the coach's voice or language during a workout no longer mutes your iPhone's microphone. Before, the switch could mute it, and the coach could then keep telling you that you were muted, again and again. The same microphone now stays open for the whole workout.
After a voice or language change, the new coach no longer picks up the earlier coach's replies about the microphone being muted, so it does not keep returning to them. Real coaching from earlier in the run is still carried over.
Some Google sign-ins on iPhone failed every time with a bare "try again", however often you tried. They now go through.
If signing in with Google or Microsoft, connecting Strava or connecting Spotify does not finish, the app now says why. It might have lapsed after two minutes, come back to a different app, been used already, or been started on another phone. The app then asks you to start again from this phone.

Build 68 · 15 October 2026

The coach stays quiet while you have it switched off

While the coach is switched off, it now stays silent. When you switch it back on, it catches up on how the run is going. Before, it could keep commenting on your heart rate after nearly every update even though you could not hear it.
Anything the coach said while switched off no longer appears in the run's conversation on screen or in the record of your run. A line said just before you switch the coach off, or while it is off, now counts as heard or unheard by the moment it was said, not by when it reached the app.

Build 67 · 15 October 2026

Routes know their hills and the coach knows what today is for

Routes now know their hills. Ask for a flat or hilly route, or one for hill repeats, and the coach picks the one that fits; the ready screen and the map card show how much it climbs. A route you ask for mid-run without naming a length now matches what is left of today's distance, where before it could come out far shorter.
On a route, the coach warns you about 150 m before each climb and names the next one in its updates. On any run, a steep climb is now noticed 80 to 100 m in and mentioned straight away with "A climb has started". Before, it could come near the top.
The coach now knows what today's session in your plan is for and watches for signs that it is working or going wrong. It gives a short reminder when one shows, more or less often depending on Quiet, Normal or Chatty, and after you stop the summary says whether the session did its job. On a tempo run it no longer praises a pace faster than your target.
A page with the big map can be swiped away again. The map now holds still and follows you. Tap it to drag and pinch, and tap Done to let it follow you again. While the phone has no satellites and only guesses where you are, the live map no longer draws a scribble of those guesses.
With Coach as a phone call on, a reconnect could make the microphone mute and unmute by itself many times a second, and the coach announced each change until it stopped answering. Those flips are now ignored. The coach mentions a mute once, and only if it really changed.
A run's title or description written in French, German or another language is no longer left out by mistake as private. When you connect an AI assistant, its sign-in page now shows Jaksa's logo and the usual Apple, Google and Microsoft buttons, as on jaksa.run.

Build 66 · 15 October 2026

Build 64 · 15 October 2026

Workouts from Strava now reach Jaksa shortly after you save them

A run you record with another app or device now appears in Jaksa shortly after it reaches Strava. Before, it could take up to 12 hours, so asking the coach about this morning's run could find nothing.
Each run page, in the app and on jaksa.run, now shows where the run came from: "Recorded by Jaksa", or "From Strava" with the name of the device that recorded it.
The coach and the chat talk about runs brought in from Strava the same way as runs you recorded with Jaksa.
If you delete a workout on Strava, it is removed from Jaksa too. If you change a run to a ride on Strava, it no longer appears among your runs in Jaksa.
A run you recorded with Jaksa and uploaded to Strava does not come back as a second copy.

Build 63 · 15 October 2026

Rolling pace, calories and power widgets for your runs

There are three new widgets for your run screen: rolling pace over a distance you choose, calories, and power. You set the distance for each rolling pace widget separately, so you can have more than one.
The power widget shows measured watts from a footpod, your watch or a treadmill when one sends them. Otherwise it shows an estimate from your weight, pace and slope, marked "est.".
Calories and power use your weight. Jaksa takes the newest weight from Apple Health, from what you tell the coach, from what you type in the chat or from an AI assistant you connect. If it does not know your weight, the coach asks you once.
If you tell the coach just a number, such as "seventy-five", it reads it as kilograms if you run in kilometres and as pounds if you run in miles, instead of asking which you meant.
When a treadmill distance is corrected downward, calories and rolling pace follow the new figure. Calories keep counting the distance you have already run rather than dropping to zero.

Send a screenshot with a problem you tell the coach about

When you tell the coach about a problem with the app, it can now ask whether to send a screenshot of the app along with your report. Nothing is taken unless you say yes.
Your yes applies only to your newest report, never to an earlier one you declined. If you are signed in to a different account by the time you answer, no screenshot is taken.
If you say yes and mention a new problem in the same answer, the coach still asks about a screenshot for the new one. While a screenshot is still being saved, the coach tells you to try again rather than saying it is done.
If you ask who makes Jaksa, the coach now tells you it is made by Generative Chaos.

Build 60 · 15 October 2026

The coach compares each workout with your usual and asks about walks

After STOP, the coach now compares your workout with your recent ones of the same kind (walk, run or treadmill) and praises only what earned it. Before, it saw only that workout's own numbers and could say "well done" after a walk far below your others. If a phone call puts the coach on hold, it gives you this verdict when it is back.
An AI assistant you connect can now compare any of your workouts in Jaksa with your usual ones of the same kind.
If a run has ten minutes in a row without a single minute at running pace, the coach now asks once whether today is a walk. Your answer decides, nothing changes the workout type by itself, and any minute at a jog starts the count again, so walking breaks in a long run are never asked about. It never asks on a walk or a treadmill.
The coach now asks one yes-or-no question at a time. Before, today's goal and another question could come in one sentence, so a plain "yes" answered both.
While the coach looks something up, it now says a short line that changes each time, such as "one second" or "let me pull that up", or nothing at all when the answer is quick. Before, it often said "Checking" or repeated the same phrase.
You can ask the coach which version of Jaksa you are on and it answers straight away, and it can tell you what is new in that version. If you use Jaksa on more than one iPhone, it goes by the one you used last.

Build 59 · 15 October 2026

Browse earlier weeks in Runs, and the coach gets pauses right

The row of days at the top of Runs now swipes sideways one week at a time, back to the week of your first run and forward to the last day of your plan. The month is shown above, each day with a run or a walk is marked, and "This week" brings you back.
A calendar button opens every month over the same span, with today circled and the same marks. Tap a day to go to it. If that day's runs are not loaded yet, the list starts from that day and "Newest runs" takes you back to the top.
The coach now always knows whether your workout is paused, and only says it is paused once your phone has actually stopped the clock. Before, it could say "Paused" or "It's still paused" while the clock kept running, for example after you said "Okay, pause" on a walk.
If the coach does say paused when it is not, it now corrects itself once instead of asking about it again and again. On a walk, the coach no longer says "Jaksa!".

Build 58 · 14 October 2026

Choose your coach's voice, and talk over Strava after a run

Settings → Coach voice now lists 22 voices, each with its accent and whether it is a man's or a woman's voice. ▶ plays a short sample and a tap picks it. Every coach session then uses it: runs, the coach at home, Talk and "Call me" phone calls.
You can also ask the coach for another voice during a run or a "Call me" call, by name, by accent or for a man's or woman's voice, and it carries on in the new voice with the talk so far. A change asked for just before STOP starts at your next talk, and an AI assistant you connect can change the voice too.
If your runs go to Strava on their own, the coach now tells you the name and description a run would go with while it is still on the line after STOP, and asks whether to send it. You can say send, keep it off or give it a new name, and the finish screen follows what you said.
If you say nothing about Strava after STOP, the run goes as before once the talk ends. If you choose each time whether to send, nothing changes.
When your laps show that a running track is drawn a few metres off, Jaksa now moves the track to where you actually ran for every runner who uses it. Before, the corrected place stayed on your phone only.

Build 57 · 14 October 2026

Records from inside every run, and running power and cadence kept

Progress has a new Records card with your fastest 400 m, mile, 5K, 10K, half marathon, marathon and more, found anywhere inside a run, plus your longest runs by distance and by time. Before, Progress showed only four records taken from whole kilometre splits.
Tap a distance for its three fastest times, this year's best and each time the record fell. Tap any of them to open that run at that stretch, marked in lime on the map and charts, and Back returns you to Progress.
Records come only from outdoor runs with a closely measured route, never from walks, treadmill sessions or a typed-in total. Pauses inside a stretch count, as in Strava's elapsed time. jaksa.run shows your records above "My workouts", each linking to its run with the stretch marked.
Running power and cadence are now kept with each run, a reading every second, like heart rate. Jaksa takes them from a Bluetooth footpod first, then your Apple Watch, then your treadmill. Before, they were only shown live and were gone when the run ended.
A run's page in the app and on jaksa.run now has power and cadence charts, power and cadence columns in splits and laps, and a Power card, with paused moments left out of the averages. Power and cadence also come in from Strava and Apple Health, and go out to Strava and to Apple Health when your iPhone records the run.
The coach and an AI assistant you connect can now answer questions about your power, cadence and records, and find runs by average power.

Build 56 · 14 October 2026

Delete a workout, and keep a workout off Strava for good

You can now delete a workout from its page, or by holding its card in your list of workouts. It leaves your lists, records, progress, stats and jaksa.run at once, waits in Settings → Recently deleted for 15 days in case you want it back, and is then removed for good with its route and photos.
Deleting a workout in Jaksa leaves its copies on Strava and in Apple Health untouched, and those copies no longer bring it back into Jaksa. An AI assistant you connect can also delete a workout, list the recently deleted ones and restore one.
"Don't send" now sits beside "Sending to Strava…" and "Not sent — retry" on the finish screen and on a workout's page, and works for any workout Strava does not have yet. The workout then shows "Kept off Strava · Send" in the app and on jaksa.run, and Send undoes it. Before, a workout you chose not to send was still counted as waiting for your OK.
If Strava already has a workout or may be taking it, "Don't send" is refused and tells you why. You can also keep the workout you are on off Strava by telling the coach mid-run, or through an AI assistant you connect.
The "waiting for your OK" line on Today now has a close button that hides it for those workouts.
Laps on a running track now reach Apple Health with their length when your Apple Watch records the workout. Before, they reached Apple Health only when the iPhone recorded it.

Build 55 · 14 October 2026

Your treadmill's Start and Stop buttons now control the workout

When Jaksa is open on the home screen and has found your treadmill, pressing Start on the treadmill now starts a treadmill workout straight away, with no countdown. The treadmill's pause button pauses it, and Start resumes it.
Pressing Stop on the treadmill, resetting it or pulling the safety key pauses the workout at once and ends it 30 seconds later unless the belt starts again. A lost Bluetooth connection never ends a workout, and a belt that is already moving when Jaksa connects starts nothing.
Settings → Treadmill has a switch for this, which is on unless you turn it off. You can also change it through an AI assistant you connect.
The app, the watch, the lock screen and jaksa.run now say "workout" wherever they mean any kind, since Jaksa also keeps walks and treadmill sessions. The home tab is "Workouts", the website shows "My workouts", and the buttons read Pause workout and Resume workout, while "run" stays where it really is a run, such as Start run, long run and your records.
The coach and the chat now say "workout" when they mean any kind, and "run" or "walk" only for what it was. Your plan keeps its own words.

Runs no longer go unrecorded when the watch fails to start

When you start a run with your Apple Watch, the phone now waits a few seconds for the watch's workout to actually be running. If it stops or never starts, your phone records the run itself, and the watch closes the failed workout instead of leaving it open. Before, the watch could accept the start, drop its workout a moment later and record nothing, and the run was lost when you stopped.
While your Apple Watch is recording, heart rate now comes from the watch alone. The phone no longer opens a second workout of its own to read your AirPods alongside it.
The heart rate card in Settings now has "Set each zone", where you set where zones 2 to 5 begin and, if you like, where zone 1 begins and the top of zone 5, your maximum. Before, you could only set a maximum. You can also do this by telling the coach or through an AI assistant you connect.
Zones now show their full range, such as "zone 1 100-124" and "zone 5 170-188", and a reading below zone 1's floor still counts as zone 1. Changing one zone by voice keeps your maximum and floor, and clearing the top in Settings forgets your maximum.
On a run's page in the app and on jaksa.run, the conversation now sits behind one line showing "Conversation" and the number of lines, and a tap opens it in place. Before, the whole conversation was laid out on the page.
A speech bubble beside the temperature on the home screen opens "Talk to your coach", where History lists every run and chat.

Build 53 · 14 October 2026

Heart readings no body could make are no longer used

Heart rate readings that no body could make, such as a jump from 80 to 173 within seconds, are now ignored and never reach the screen, the coach, your saved run, Strava or your zones. Before, one glitch from your AirPods could become the run's maximum and make the coach call zone 4 in the first minute. A new level that holds for 20 seconds is used.
With more than one heart rate source, a watch giving good readings is now heard straight away. Before, a chest strap that had stopped updating could hold the number still for up to 20 seconds.
Runs imported from Strava no longer change your heart rate zones, just as runs from Apple Health never did. A maximum heart rate learned from an imported run has been forgotten, so your zones may shift to match the runs you recorded with Jaksa.
Ask the coach how to find your zones and it now explains the options: a formula based on your age, a test, or what your runs show, with sources.

Build 52 · 14 October 2026

Stopping on your phone now ends the workout on your Apple Watch

When you stop a run on your phone, the workout on your Apple Watch now ends too, and the watch says the run was ended on your phone and whether it was saved. Before, the watch could keep recording after the phone had stopped.
A run cut off by a crash is now kept and shown on the home screen, for example "Your run from 20:39 was cut off — it's saved." A run that has not finished sending is tried again each time you open the app, and runs recorded on your Apple Watch that never reached the phone are now brought in from Apple Health.
There are three new run-screen widgets: rolling pace over a distance you choose for each widget, calories, and power in watts from your Apple Watch or an estimate marked "est.". Your weight comes from Apple Health or from telling the coach, the chat at home or an AI assistant you connect. The coach asks once if it doesn't know it, and a bare number is read as kilograms or pounds to match your units.
Your picture now appears top left on the home screen, in Settings and top right on My runs at jaksa.run. It is a photo you choose or take in Settings → Picture, otherwise your Google or Strava photo, otherwise your initials. Before, an account signed in with Apple could show a question mark, and its name is now filled in from Strava.
The coach now gets the weather when you start a run and mentions more of what matters for it, such as feels-like temperature, wind and gusts, rain, UV, air quality and sunset. Ask mid-run and it checks again, and in the chat at home or through an AI assistant you connect it can plan with a 16-day forecast for where you are or a place you name.

Build 51 · 14 October 2026

Your treadmill is found at start, even on an outdoor run

If your phone remembers a treadmill, starting a run now listens for it for the first two minutes, even when you did not pick a treadmill run. If it hears the treadmill before the GPS has counted 30 m, the run becomes a treadmill run and the coach tells you. Before, the run stayed outdoors at 0.00 km with the treadmill right there.
If two minutes pass at 0 m and no treadmill is heard, the coach asks you once whether you are on a treadmill. It holds the question while you are paused and drops it once the GPS counts any distance.
With no earbuds connected, the coach now talks through the phone's loudspeaker instead of the earpiece, in Talk, in the chat at home, on a run and after STOP. Earbuds take over as soon as they connect, and wired headphones no longer bring up the run screen's speaker warning.
Earbuds with their call audio switched off are no longer treated as earbuds, because the coach plays on the loudspeaker with them. Before, the app could take them for earbuds and the coach greeted you out loud at home.
When you give the coach new heart-rate zones mid-run, it now keeps only numbers you actually said. Give three of the four and it asks where the missing zone begins. Give one or two and the rest stay as they were. Before, it could fill a zone from your old ones or store a number you never said.
The coach no longer says "I can't" or "no access" before checking whether it can help. It also mentions only the heart-rate and pace changes that really happened, so it no longer says your pace is holding after you slowed down.

Build 50 · 14 October 2026

A page the coach builds mid-run appears on the same run

Ask the coach to add or change a page on the run screen during a run, and it now appears straight away. The coach switches to it and tells you its name. Before, the coach said it would appear on your next run.
Changes to your run-screen pages made in the chat at home or through an AI assistant you connect now reach the run screen within about half a minute, even mid-run. You stay on the page you were on, even if it moved.
If you edited your pages yourself in the meantime, your edit is kept and the coach's change is not put over it.

Build 49 · 14 October 2026

At today's goal the coach says so and offers to end the run

When you pass today's distance or time goal, the coach now tells you and offers to end the run, and a yes ends it. Before, nothing happened, even past the goal. It offers once per goal, even if the coach was reconnecting at the moment you passed it, and a new goal you set later gets its own offer.
On a treadmill, the map's place on the run screen now shows a treadmill with a runner on it, its deck tilted to the incline, beside the treadmill's speed and incline, plus distance and pace on the large size. Underneath it says whether the numbers come from your treadmill over Bluetooth or how to tell the coach what it shows, and they update while you are paused too. Before, this was an empty panel with a sentence in it.
Ask the coach to show a page such as your splits or the map, and the phone now switches and checks it got there before the coach answers. The coach then says you are on that page, or that it did not switch and you can swipe. Before, it could say "showing your splits" while the screen stayed where it was, so you had to ask twice.
When the coach proposes a plan or a change to it, on a run, in the chat at home or through an AI assistant you connect, the days are now checked first: at most two hard sessions a week (tempo, intervals or hills), one long run and mostly easy running, with fewer hard days at the lighter levels. The coach either adjusts the plan or tells you which guideline it breaks and why, and your yes still decides. It also mentions a week that grows sharply, a long run over half the week's distance, or five weeks with no lighter one.

Build 48 · 14 October 2026

The coach knows today's planned session from its first word

When you start a run, the coach now knows the day of the week and what your plan has for today. It names the session and asks whether you want to do it. Before, it often just asked how far or how long you wanted to go, even on a day your plan set intervals.
Every plan now has one of five levels: run sometimes, get fit, a first race, a time goal or performance. With no plan, the coach no longer runs through a list of questions; it chats about what you enjoy, how often you can run and what is coming up, then proposes a level and a plan. Say "let's do this now" to get all the questions at once, and know that "run sometimes" stays easy runs and is never pushed up a level unless you ask.
Ask the coach "why?" or "says who?" about its advice and it answers with the research or coaching tradition behind it, on a run, in the chat at home or through an AI assistant you connect. Unasked, it brings this up at most once a run, and never on a quiet run.
On a treadmill, a speed or pace you tell the coach, such as 12 km/h or 5 minutes per kilometre, is now kept and gives you a pace from your first distance reading. Before, the coach could say "noted" and lose it. Set a progression once, such as 0.1 km/h faster every 100 m, and the app raises the speed by itself, holding at a top speed if you give one, instead of you calling out every step.
Change the coach's language mid-run and it now switches to the new language and carries on with everything said so far in the run.
In Settings, the Spotify card now says Spotify isn't available in Jaksa yet, instead of showing a Connect button that failed when tapped.

Build 47 · 14 October 2026

The coach tells you how much time is left at your pace

Ask the coach mid-run how much time you have left at this pace, and it now answers every time. Before, it sometimes answered and then said it could not work it out.
With a distance goal for today, the coach knows your time left and when you will finish, as run time and as clock time, at both your current and your average pace. With a time goal, it knows when the run ends and how far you will get.
The coach also does pace sums for you. Give it any two of distance, pace and time and it tells you the third.
A new Time left widget can show this on the run screen.

Today and Runs on one page, and Progress charts you can read

Home now has two pages, Runs and Progress, and Today is no longer a page of its own. Runs opens with any problems that need your attention and a strip of this week's days. Until you have run today, it also shows Today's card: the coach's line, the voice bar, today's session with "Other ›", and the coach's findings.
Once you have run today, that run is highlighted in the list where Today's card was. The voice bar stays while a coach is on the line, so Mute and "Type ›" are still at hand.
Tapping a day in the week strip scrolls to its run. If there is no run that day, it tells you what your plan had or has for it.
On Progress, tap a week's bar to see its dates, the distance you ran and the plan's distance, in your units. A week still ahead shows the plan only. The bar stays picked until you tap another or tap it again, and dragging moves the pick, as on a run's charts.
The time-in-zone bar works the same way and shows the zone, its name, your time in it and its share of the four weeks. While your finger is on a Progress chart, the page stays still and does not slide over to Runs.
A plan week with no distance, such as a rest week or one with sessions set by time, says "no distance in the plan".

Build 43 · 14 October 2026

Lap-by-lap track running, treadmill connection and Strava review

Jaksa now knows the running tracks near you, notices when you step onto one, and the coach asks your lane once. It does not ask on a track without lanes. Before, a track was noticed only after a few minutes of laps.
On the track, your distance and pace now come from your lane's length, lap by lap, instead of the GPS trace, and the live map keeps you on your lane. A lap ends where you stepped onto the track; turning round still counts, and walking while paused does not. About 15 metres off the track for 10 seconds counts as leaving, and GPS takes over from where you left it.
Each lap, with its time, distance, pace, lane and heart rate, now shows under Laps on the run's page in the app and on jaksa.run, and as laps in Strava and Apple Health. If you run laps of an oval Jaksa does not know, the coach asks whether it is a track, and your yes adds it for everyone, as does what you say about a track's lanes or surface.
Settings → Strava now has "Before a run goes to Strava": Send right away, as before, or Ask me each time. With Ask, the finish screen shows the map, name, run or walk and description Strava will get, each editable, then "Send to Strava" or "Don't send this one".
A run you have not reviewed shows "Waiting for your OK" under Runs and on jaksa.run, and Today takes you to the newest one in one tap. A run waiting for review still waits if you disconnect Strava, and an AI assistant you connect sends it only after your yes.
Jaksa can now connect to a treadmill that uses the standard fitness-machine Bluetooth connection. Find it in Settings → Treadmill, which shows its live speed and incline. On a treadmill run it connects by itself, and distance, pace, incline, climb and cadence come from the treadmill; the belt running while you are paused adds nothing, and an emergency stop does not reset your distance.

Build 42 · 14 October 2026

A rebuilt Apple Watch app, and a coach that remembers you

The Apple Watch app now looks like the phone: your heart rate large in its zone colour, with pace, distance, time and the coach's last sentence. Turn the crown for splits and running form, or swipe right to pause, mute the coach or hold to end. It no longer says "Recording on the watch only" while your phone is with you; a dot shows whether the coach can hear you, and it only warns that your phone is out of reach after 15 seconds without it.
Pressing Start on the watch now starts the same run on your phone too, with the coach and GPS, and Apple Health keeps one workout, not two. Before a run, the watch shows today's session from your plan.
The coach now remembers short facts about you, such as a race date or a sore knee, and every run and chat starts with them. You can see, change, forget or undo them in Settings → What the coach remembers. Notes are kept only when you ask, and "remind me to…" now gets an offer to note it instead of a dead end.
Your training plan changes only when you say yes, and the coach gives its reason for each change it proposes. With no plan yet, the coach first asks how you want to plan: you already have one, you build one now, or you build it as you go.
The coach now notices a long climb from your iPhone's barometer and tells you briefly when it starts and when it ends. It can also tell you the route you have run so far, with its streets, turns and climbing, and which way the start is.
The Run, Walk and Treadmill buttons are no longer under the map, so the map is bigger. They now sit in a "This workout" card that you reach by scrolling down the first run page, with the current kind lit. Before, the button showed the kind it would switch to, which read like a status.

Build 41 · 14 October 2026

The coach pauses only when you ask, and says so plainly

Only a request pauses, resumes or ends your run. A question, complaint or story about a pause is not taken as one, even when "pause" is the last word you say.
The coach now says "Paused" or "Resumed" only when the run really has paused or resumed. Before, its reminder about a run that had paused on its own could come out as "Paused.", which sounded as if it had just paused the run.
When your run has paused by itself, the coach reminds you once per pause with "It's still paused — say resume or end."

Build 40 · 14 October 2026

The coach notices when you run laps of a track and asks your lane

When you run laps of a running track, Jaksa now notices from the shape of your last few minutes, a tight oval the size of a track gone all the way round, and the coach asks once which lane you are in. A loop round a city block is not taken for a track, and on a treadmill the coach does not bring up a track at all.
You can tell the coach when you change lanes, such as "lane 4" or "moving to lane 2", or say "I'm off the track" when you leave it. Jaksa also notices when you move well away from the track and come back, including across a pause of two minutes or more, so laps after a break are picked up again.
If you say you are not on a track before one has been noticed, the coach will not take an oval near there for a track.
After you stop, the parts of the run spent on the track are laid onto the lane you ran in, as Apple Watch does. The route sent to Strava follows a clean line round the track instead of the wandering GPS trace.
Your distance still comes from GPS, and any part of the run that was not laps of a track stays as you ran it, whatever was said. Walking off the track no longer stretches or bends the line laid on it.
An AI assistant you connect can tell you when you were on the track and in which lane.

Build 39 · 14 October 2026

The coach asks how far or how long you are running today

When you start a run with no distance or time set, no session from your training plan for today, no route to follow and not a walk, the coach now opens by asking how far or how long you are running today. It asks once and never again in that run, and not at all on a quiet run.
You can answer then or at any later point in the run, and the coach keeps that distance or time as the run's goal. Its check-ins then tell you how far along you are, such as "4.6 of 10", it knows where the finish is, and it still has your goal if it reconnects during the run.
When you start a run by following your training plan, the session's distance or minutes become the goal, so the coach does not ask.
If Apple Health refuses to start the workout and you try again, the new start now keeps your plan's distance or time. Before, the retry dropped it.
If you mentioned the distance or time before Start, the coach still asks once the run begins, so the goal is set for that run.

Build 38 · 14 October 2026

Runs get a description, and every talk shows on the lock screen

After you stop, Jaksa now writes a short description for each run, the lines under its name on Strava, drawn from the run, your training plan and what was said on it. Like the name, it leaves out anything about your health, your notes or other people, so it is fit for a public Strava feed.
You can give a run your own description. Tell the coach during the run, or before Start for the run you are about to do. At home you can ask an AI assistant you connect, or the chat, to describe a past run, the run in progress or your next one. A description you give always wins, and Jaksa never replaces it.
The description shows under the run's name in the app and on jaksa.run, and goes to Strava with the run. If you change it later, the Strava activity is updated to match.
When you talk with the coach outside a run, with Talk in the chat, the coach at home or the talk after Stop, the lock screen and Dynamic Island now show the talk. You see how long it has been on and the coach's last line, and Mute and Hang up work with the phone locked. Before, this panel appeared only during a run.
Mute on the lock screen is the same switch as Mute in the app, and the chat says "Muted on the lock screen" when you mute from there. When a talk turns into a run at Start, or a run into a talk after Stop, the lock screen keeps a single panel.

Build 37 · 14 October 2026

Walks ask before pausing, and walk pace stays on screen

On a walk, Jaksa no longer pauses by itself when you stop. After about 20 seconds standing still, the coach asks once whether to pause, and saying yes pauses the walk. It asks again only at a later stop, after you have walked on. This happens whether auto-pause is on or off, and runs still pause on their own as before.
A slow walk now counts as moving, so a gentle stroll is no longer taken for standing still. If the coach is reconnecting when you stop, the question is not lost.
Walk pace no longer shows --:-- for half a minute after each stop on the run screen and the lock screen. Pace now counts only the time you were moving, so a stop no longer reads as a very slow walk, and after a pause the pace carries on from the minute before instead of starting blank.
A gap in the GPS signal that ends with you standing still no longer shows as a burst of fast pace.
When your iPhone is still placing itself by Wi-Fi instead of satellites, often in the first minutes of a walk, its rough guesses no longer add distance in jumps or make the pace swing wildly. The way you walked in that time is counted once the satellites are in, and the pace starts from there.

Build 36 · 14 October 2026

Every run now has a name, and your notes show during the run

After you stop, Jaksa now gives each run a short name drawn from its numbers, your training plan and what was said on it, instead of a generic "Morning Run". The name leaves out anything about your health, your notes or other people, so it is fit for a public Strava feed. Runs saved before this build, and runs brought in from Apple Health, are not renamed.
You can name a run yourself. Tell the coach during the run, or before Start for the run you are about to do. At home you can ask an AI assistant you connect, or the chat, to name a past run, the run in progress or your next one. A name you give always wins, and Jaksa never replaces it.
The name shows on the run's page in the app and on jaksa.run, and goes to Strava with the run. If you name a run later, or your watch's activity was linked instead of sent from Jaksa, the Strava activity is renamed to match.
A new Notes widget, wide or large, lists the notes you keep during a run, newest first, each with the time in the run when it was kept, leaving out pauses. A note appears as soon as the coach keeps it, before the coach says it back to you. Before, you could see your notes only after the run.
You can put the Notes widget on any page of the run screen with the page editor, or ask an AI assistant you connect to build a page with it.

Build 35 · 14 October 2026

Your past runs from Strava and Apple Health now come into Jaksa

Jaksa now brings in every run and walk that other apps and watches saved to Apple Health, as ordinary runs with their map, heart rate and distance where Health has them, each marked with the app it came from. The home screen shows how far it has got, new ones come in each time you open the app, and Apple Health now asks for access to workout routes.
Connecting Strava now brings in your whole Strava history of runs and walks, newest first, with the map, heart rate, laps, best efforts, photos, the device and your shoes. If you are already connected, this starts on its own. It reads only a few activities a minute, so a long history takes a while, and Settings shows the progress and asks you once more for access to your full Strava profile.
Each run is kept once. A run Jaksa sent to Strava, or two copies that start within two minutes of each other, are not brought in twice, and a copy with a map or heart rate replaces a thinner one. Runs that came in from elsewhere are never sent to Strava or anywhere else.
A run you delete on Strava disappears from Jaksa within about 12 hours. Disconnecting Strava removes every run brought in from it at once, as Strava requires, and the app tells you this.
Stops on Strava and paused watch recordings now show as pauses, and a short last kilometre is no longer counted as a split. Runs that some watches and apps save with only a total distance now keep that distance instead of showing 0 km, and a run you typed in by hand keeps its distance on its page and in your stats.
You can now ask the coach, or an AI assistant you connect, for your longest or fastest runs, for example your longest run last year.

Build 34 · 14 October 2026

A new home screen with Today, Runs and Progress

The app now opens on a home screen with three pages along the top: Today, Runs and Progress. Start and the mic are at the bottom of all three, and Settings is behind your initial. This replaces the old ready screen, and Log and Export are now in Settings → Help.
Today shows your week, a line from the coach, today's session from your plan with "Other" to choose something else, anything worth knowing from your recent training, and your last run.
With earbuds in, the coach now speaks first when you open the app, once each time you come back to it. You can ask it to start your run or tap Start, and the same coach carries on into the run. It hangs up after a minute of quiet or when you leave the app.
Runs lists your runs newest first and loads older ones as you scroll. Each card shows the run's map, the street where it started, photos you took during the run and the coach's summary from when you stopped.
Progress shows your goal race with a predicted time, your weekly distance against your plan, your time in each zone over the last four weeks, and your records.
The coach now knows its name is Jaksa, from the Finnish for having the strength to keep going. Toward the end of most runs it may cheer "Come on, (your first name), jaksa!" once in its own language, but never early and never on an easy run or a walk. It no longer says it is checking something or that something is done before it is, and when it mishears you it asks again instead of guessing.

Build 33 · 14 October 2026

A countdown to GO, a check-in at every split, notes said back

Every run now starts with a countdown. After you tap START, the screen shows 3, 2, 1, GO with a buzz each second, and GO buzzes twice. The run's clock, distance and coach begin only at GO, so the seconds and steps spent waiting are not part of the run, and closing the screen during the count ends the workout.
At each kilometre or mile the coach now gives a short check-in instead of just the numbers. It tells you that split's time and your total time, then how far you are against today's goal, for example "4.6 of 10". Depending on how much the coach talks, it adds how the run is going and some encouragement, and on Chatty a little analysis and now and then a joke.
A split check-in is no longer skipped because the coach spoke a moment before.
When you ask the coach to keep a note, it now says the note back to you word for word as it was saved. Before, it often said only "Noted."
If you re-word, correct or add to a note from earlier in the run, the coach now changes that note instead of saving a second, near-identical one. If it can't tell which note you mean, it keeps what you said as a new note, so nothing is lost.

Build 32 · 14 October 2026

Your notes stay off Strava, and the coach can do more mid-run

Notes you ask the coach to keep no longer go to Strava. Before, they became the Strava activity's description, where your followers could see them. Runs now upload to Strava with no description.
Runs already on Strava have those notes removed. Jaksa clears a description only when it still holds nothing but the notes it wrote. Anything you typed on Strava stays, and an activity from your watch that Jaksa only linked is never touched.
During a run, the coach can now reach the same things on your account that an AI assistant you connect can. It still won't sign you out, delete a page, reset your screens, remove a saved destination or change your phone number mid-run, and it won't do anything that needs you to confirm first.
During a run, the coach can also look things up on the web, and pass a hard question to a stronger coach before it answers you.

Build 31 · 14 October 2026

The coach learns how much to talk to you

The coach now learns how chatty to be from you, with nothing to set up. Each run starts Quiet, Normal or Chatty depending on what it has learned so far, and starts at Normal until it knows more.
During a run you can change how much the coach talks with the run's talk switch, or by telling it "be quiet" or "talk to me more". The change applies to that run at once and moves your later runs a step the same way. By voice the coach can only go quieter or chattier. Normal is on the switch, which also works before the coach has connected.
A run in which you talk a lot with the coach nudges your later runs a little toward Chatty. An AI assistant you connect can see and set how much the coach talks.
The page where you sign in to connect an AI assistant now shows Jaksa's logo in the browser tab.

Build 30 · 14 October 2026

Follow a planned route, and open each run on jaksa.run

You can now run a planned route: the coach tells you each turn about 100 m and again about 35 m before it, says when you have been more than 40 m off the route for 12 seconds, reminds you a minute later if you are still off, and tells you when you are back on it and when you reach the end. The map shows the route in lime with the next turn on a card, and turns it red when you are off it. If the coach is switched off, the phone buzzes and the card shows the turn instead.
The ready screen has a new Route card that shows and changes your next run's route. During a run you can ask the coach to make a route from where you are, or to follow or drop one. An AI assistant you connect can make a loop of a given distance, an out-and-back, or a route through places you name, or save one from a GPX file.
Each run in My runs on jaksa.run now opens its own page. It shows distance, time and pace, your splits, the route on a map coloured by pace, charts of pace, heart rate and elevation, your heart-rate zones, and what you and the coach said, with the same figures as the app.
Time spent paused, by hand or by auto-pause, no longer counts as run time. Before, a 10-minute stop made the run 10 minutes longer and its pace slower in the app, on jaksa.run and on Strava. Now your run list, records, stats and Strava all leave pauses out, treadmill distance stands still while you are paused, and an AI assistant you connect sees both your running time and your total time.
With AirPods, heart rate no longer goes missing for about 20 seconds every 5 minutes, and the coach is no longer given a 5-minute average as your current heart rate. The coach also no longer says it sees your earbuds again when they never disconnected.

Build 29 · 14 October 2026

The coach stays on after you stop, and heart-rate zones you set

When you stop a run on your iPhone, your Apple Watch, the lock screen or by voice, the coach no longer hangs up. It sums up the run right away, covering distance, time, pace, heart rate and zones, splits and its notes, then talks the run over with you against your goals. What you say goes into that run's conversation.
This talk ends when you and the coach say goodbye, when you press Hang up or Done on the finish screen, when you leave the screen, or after 3 minutes with no word either way. It replaces the finish screen's offer to make a plan. If you have no plan, you can build one by talking it through with the coach.
If the connection drops just after you stop, the coach still gives you the summary once it is back. A question you asked in the last seconds before stopping is answered after the run.
Your heart-rate zones no longer come from Apple Health, where they could be far off, for example a maximum of 210. You can set your maximum heart rate or your own zone edges in Settings, tell the coach during a run and the run switches to them at once, or set them through an AI assistant you connect.
If you set nothing, Jaksa learns your zones from your runs, using the highest heart rate you hold for 30 seconds. Later runs can raise it, walks are ignored, and it never goes above a maximum you set, though the coach may offer to raise it. Until Jaksa has anything to go on, there are no zones and the coach asks you.

Build 28 · 14 October 2026

The coach keeps your language, and watch runs reach the phone

The coach now starts in your iPhone's language. If you ask it to speak another language, for example "speak French", it switches and remembers that choice after a reconnect, on your later runs and in Talk at home. Before, it could go back to English after a reconnect.
If you say "back to my phone's language", the coach switches back right away in the session you are in. You can also change the coach's language in the chat or through an AI assistant you connect.
If you start a run on your Apple Watch while Jaksa is closed, your iPhone now picks it up and shows a notification, "Run in progress — tap to start your coach". Before, a run started on the watch with Jaksa closed never reached the phone. Jaksa asks once for permission to show notifications.
A watch workout you already ended on your wrist is no longer picked up when you open Jaksa or press START.
Jaksa now keeps a full record of each run as it happens, about every half minute. It includes your heart rate, GPS, splits, notes, pauses, the coach's words and what you said to the coach. If you lose signal, the rest is sent later to the account you ran under, and an AI assistant you connect can read this record back.

Build 27 · 14 October 2026

The coach remembers your run after a reconnect

When the coach reconnects during a run, it now continues from your conversation so far, including the notes it kept, today's goal and the language you were speaking. Before, a reconnected coach knew only your numbers, so it could forget a goal like today's 10 km or the language you had been using.
After such a reconnect, the coach now says in one line, in your language, that there was a short interruption and it is back up to speed, then carries on without greeting you. It does not say this if you switched the coach off yourself, or if it only needed a second try to connect when you started.

Build 26 · 14 October 2026

Mute the coach with an AirPods press, and a quieter coach

During a run, a press on your AirPods stem now mutes the coach's microphone in Jaksa. The run screen and lock screen show Mute, and the coach confirms it in a few words, since you pressed without looking. Before, the press could silence your microphone without the run screen or the coach knowing.
Muting on the screen or the lock screen now mutes your AirPods microphone too, so your AirPods and the run screen always agree. A run always starts and ends unmuted.
The coach no longer answers the regular updates it gets about your run, and stays quiet between remarks. Before, a coach that reconnected mid-run could say "Hi." or "Hey." every 15 seconds for many minutes.
When the coach reconnects during a run, it now carries on without greeting you. When you press START, it opens your run as before. Before, it was told the run was both just starting and already in progress, which could confuse its opening.

Build 25 · 14 October 2026

The coach starts sooner and explains when it has reached its limit

When you start the coach, Jaksa now does less before the coach can join, so the coach may start talking slightly sooner.
If the coach cannot start because you have reached your usage limit, you now hear that reason. Before, in some cases this showed up only as a general error.

Build 24 · 14 October 2026

Walk, run or treadmill: say which, before or during a workout

The ready screen now offers Run · Walk · Treadmill. For a walk, the tempo and long run types are hidden and the button reads «Start walk». The coach is now told the run type you picked when you press START. Before, it was not.
Mid-workout, tap «I'm walking» or «I'm running» under the map, or tell the coach, to switch. The coach now coaches a walk as a walk and opens its briefing with «Walking, not running». Before, a walk was coached as a jog, and the first-run opener no longer says "jog".
During a walk, the live pace now keeps paces down to 40 min/km. Before, any pace slower than 20 min/km was thrown away, so a walk lost its live pace.
Apple Health records the workout as walking or running, and indoors for a treadmill, as picked when you press START, on your iPhone and Apple Watch. Health cannot change a workout's kind once it is recording, so switching mid-workout does not change it there. The finish screen and a run's page now say, for example, «Evening walk».
Strava now receives a walk as a Walk instead of a run, and a treadmill run is marked indoor. If you switched during the workout, the run is sent as whichever you did longest, with pauses left out.
An AI assistant you connect can change a finished workout between walk and run afterwards, and the change is sent to Strava too.

Build 23 · 14 October 2026

Walking distance without GPS wobble, and a coach that explains colours

Standing still no longer adds distance to your run. Before, GPS wobble could add 6 to 15 metres a minute while you stood, and more when your iPhone had no satellite fix and its position jumped around.
When your iPhone reports its position as worse than 20 metres, that position is now left out, and the distance is filled in once a good fix returns. At walking speed, distance is counted only once you have clearly moved, so small jitters no longer add up.
The metres you walk up to a stop still count when you move on, and a slow walk now keeps a steady pace reading from second to second.
Ask the coach what a colour, line or number means and it now looks it up instead of guessing. This covers the run screen, lock screen, finish screen, a run's page and the runs list, including heart-rate zones, the pace-coloured map (coloured relative to that run), split bars, the load scale and each of the blues. It answers in plain spoken words.
The chat and an AI assistant you connect can look up the same explanations for any of these screens.

Build 22 · 14 October 2026

Auto-pause when you stop, and a coach that knows its own controls

When you stand still for about six seconds, the run now pauses itself just as the Pause button does: the clock, the distance and the workout in Apple Health all stop, and the coach is told. It resumes after about three seconds of moving at a walk or faster. Walking never pauses a run, and neither does standing still before you first move or running on a treadmill.
Auto-pause is on unless you turn it off in Settings → Auto-pause, ask the coach to turn it off (it keeps your choice for later runs) or ask an AI assistant you connect. A pause you make yourself stays until you resume it, even if you ask the coach to pause while the run is already auto-paused.
The coach now knows Jaksa's own controls and no longer sends you to another app or your watch to pause. It pauses, resumes and ends the run when you ask, asking you once before it ends. It can also tell you what the lock screen shows (Pause and Mute while running, Resume and End while paused), where Mute is, and which of your pages holds Lap or «I'm on a treadmill».
At each kilometre the coach now gives that kilometre's own time and your total time, and says which is which. Before, it could read out one kilometre's time as if it were your total. If a GPS gap carries you past two kilometres at once, it calls them together.
The chat now keeps each conversation separate. Before, lines from an earlier conversation could appear mixed into a new one. The after-run plan offer now starts its own conversation, and when you open the chat, a conversation you haven't touched for two hours is closed and kept in History.
After you stop, the finish screen now checks whether your run reached Strava for up to 8 minutes, at longer and longer gaps. Before, it checked every 3 seconds for 5 minutes. Tapping «Not sent — retry» twice quickly no longer leaves the card on «Not sent» once the run has reached Strava.

Build 21 · 14 October 2026

Finish screen numbers that fit, and no plan offer after a walk

On the finish screen and a run's page, the three big numbers now shrink to fit the screen. Before, a slow pace or a time past the hour could run off the edge on a smaller iPhone. Your iPhone's larger text setting no longer enlarges these three numbers.
The map's fast/slow colour key now sits in the top-left corner on a dark chip, with a colour swatch beside each word. Before, it sat in the bottom-left corner under Apple Maps' Legal link.
After a run under 10 minutes, or a GPS run slower than 11 min/km, the app no longer offers you a training plan.
If nothing you have told the coach has been kept with your goals, the plan card now says a plan needs a short conversation and opens the chat. Before, it showed a spinner that ended in questions. If the coach answers with questions instead of a plan, the card says the same and the questions wait for you in the chat.

Build 20 · 13 October 2026

Send each run to addresses of your own, as well as Strava

Settings now has «Send runs elsewhere», where you can add up to five web addresses. Every run you save from then on is sent to each one as a TCX file as soon as you stop, alongside Strava.
If an address is down, the run is sent again later on its own. If the address refuses the run, the app shows «Not sent — retry». An address you remove gets nothing more, even if a run was being sent to it at that moment.
Under every run, including on the finish screen, the app shows whether it reached each address, as it does for Strava. A retry keeps updating until the run is sent or fails, and a run from before you added an address can be sent with «Send».
An address must start with https and use a public name rather than a bare IP address. If the address points somewhere else, the run is not passed on.
You can save any run as a TCX file from its page on your iPhone.
An AI assistant you connect can add an address for you, but only after you say yes, because a run that has been sent cannot be called back. It can also hand you a run as a TCX file, and if the run is too long for that, it tells you to save it from the app.

Build 19 · 13 October 2026

Treadmill runs that use the treadmill's distance, not GPS

Tap «On a treadmill» on the ready screen or «I'm on a treadmill» under the run screen's map, or tell the coach, and GPS stops adding distance. The map widget then shows «Treadmill», and no page holds the swipe for a map. Before, indoor GPS wandered, and a 53-minute treadmill run could be saved and sent to Strava as 1.44 km.
Tell the coach the distance or speed on the treadmill's display, and your distance and pace carry on from there at the speed you gave or the pace between your last two distances. If you correct a distance down, splits past it are taken back. A reading you give while paused is kept, and one answered after you stop never carries into your next run.
A treadmill run is saved as an indoor run using the treadmill's last distance. Your stats, splits and the run's page on jaksa.run agree, and Strava gets it as an indoor run with no map. Distance from an Apple Watch's GPS never replaces a treadmill run's distance.
An AI assistant you connect can mark an earlier run as a treadmill run and correct its distance and splits. If the run is already on Strava, it is marked indoor there too, but Strava lets no app change its distance, and the assistant tells you so.
Settings now has a Spotify section so the coach can play, pause and skip your music and say what is playing. It looks through your own playlists first, private ones included. It is not switched on yet, so Connect says Spotify isn't available. When it is switched on, it will need Spotify Premium, and the music keeps playing in the Spotify app.

Build 18 · 13 October 2026

Make your own run screens, and coach notes that are never lost

Hold any run page during a run to edit it like the iPhone home screen: move, resize, add and remove widgets, add, rename, reorder or remove pages, or go back to the starting pages. Done closes the editor straight away and saves in the background, and if a layout can't be kept the editor reopens and says why.
Your pages are kept with your account, with a copy on the phone for runs without signal. An AI assistant you connect or the in-app chat can make or change pages for you, and the coach knows your pages by name and switches to any of them when you ask.
Hold to stop sits at the bottom of every page, including pages you make and while you edit, and pages now scroll so it is never pushed off the screen. While paused, the run controls widget shows Resume and Hold to end, and any page with a large map does not swipe, with buttons beside the page dots to the pages on either side.
Notes the coach keeps are saved to your run before it says «Noted», so a crash, a flat battery or a run that never uploads no longer loses them. The coach can now read your notes back mid-run, where before it could say there were none. An AI assistant you connect can list them, even during a run, and correct one after asking you.
When you ask, the coach during a run or the chat at home passes a problem or a suggestion on to us. It never asks you for feedback or a rating.

Build 17 · 13 October 2026

End a run from any page, and a coach that speaks up

Hold to stop is now at the bottom of every run page, including the heart rate, map and coach pages. Before, you had to go back to the first page to end a run.
A paused run now shows Resume and End side by side on the run page, and End is held like Stop. On the lock screen and in the Dynamic Island, End takes the place of Mute while the run is paused.
You can ask the coach to pause, resume or end your run. It pauses and resumes straight away, but asks once before ending and ends only if you say yes, and you hear it say so before the run stops. It no longer sends you to a page or button to end the run.
The coach now speaks up unasked when your numbers say something, such as your heart rate climbing at the same pace, a zone change that holds, your pace falling off or a target reached. Before, it mostly spoke only when you spoke to it, even as your heart rate kept rising.
On the quiet setting the coach keeps its own questions to itself, including the plan questions on your first run, but still tells you your splits and zone changes.

Build 16 · 13 October 2026

Ask the coach to change the run screen, and pan the map freely

During a run you can ask the coach to change what the screen shows, such as "show me the map" or "go to my heart rate", and the run screen moves to that page. The coach knows which page is on screen and only moves to pages your run screen has.
On the map page, dragging now pans the map instead of swiping to the next page; before, the same swipe did both. To leave the map, tap the ‹ Splits or Coach › buttons on either side of the page dots, and this holds however you arrive on the map, even after a slow swipe that stops on it.
The map stops following you only when you drag it with one finger, while a pinch or a tap keeps it following. Tap «Back to me» or the north/heading button to have it follow you again.

Build 15 · 13 October 2026

No visible changes in this build

Nothing you can see or do in the app or on jaksa.run has changed. Runs, the coach, the chat and your conversation history behave exactly as they did in the previous build.

Build 14 · 13 October 2026

No visible changes in this build

This build changes nothing you can see or do in the app or on jaksa.run. Runs, the coach, the chat and your conversation history all work exactly as they did in the previous build.

Build 13 · 13 October 2026

Every conversation with the coach, kept and searchable

Jaksa now keeps both sides of every conversation with the coach, on runs and in the chat at home, typed or spoken, saving it to your account every few seconds as it is said. Before, only the coach's side of a run was kept and the home chat stayed on the phone.
A History button in the chat opens every run and chat, newest first, with a search box, and each one opens onto the whole conversation. Search ignores upper and lower case in any alphabet.
During a run the coach can look back at what you said earlier, so a question like "what did I say about my knee" is answered from your own words.
An AI assistant you connect, and the chat in the app, can list, open and search your conversations and find the one that belongs to a run. An assistant can read them but can never add words to them.
If your words cannot be sent straight away, they are kept on the phone and sent when you next open the app or sign in. Signing out partway through never sends them under a different account.

Build 12 · 13 October 2026

A steadier chest strap connection

Jaksa forgets the chest strap it had remembered, once. On your next run it picks again: the strongest strap it hears within a few seconds, which it then remembers for later runs.
When a strap drops out and comes back, Jaksa now reconnects it once. Before, a second reconnect could break the connection that had just recovered.
If you close the run screen while Jaksa is still waiting for your Apple Watch to start, it now lets go of the chest strap straight away instead of keeping it connected.

Build 11 · 13 October 2026

Your phone now connects to a chest strap by itself

When you start a run, the phone looks for a Bluetooth heart-rate chest strap nearby and connects to it with no pairing step. This works with a Polar H10, a Garmin strap or a Garmin watch set to broadcast heart rate, and it picks the strap it remembers or the strongest signal.
The strap sends your heart rate every second and stays connected with the screen off. If it drops out, or Bluetooth is switched off and on again during the run, it reconnects by itself.
The first time, your iPhone asks for permission to use Bluetooth. Settings then shows the strap Jaksa remembers, with a Forget button so it can pick a different one next time.
If the same strap is also paired with your iPhone, Jaksa uses its direct reading and ignores the slightly delayed copy that arrives through Apple Health. That copy can no longer look like a sudden drop and make the coach switch away from a strap that is working, and a second strap you wear is still heard.

Build 10 · 13 October 2026

Apple Watch app, lock-screen controls and a first run with no plan

Jaksa now has an Apple Watch app. During a run the watch shows time, heart rate and zone, distance and pace, with a second page for running form, and the run is saved to Apple Health once, with its route; if the watch goes out of reach, the phone takes over the recording.
While you run, the lock screen and the Dynamic Island show the time, pace, distance, heart rate in its zone colour and the coach's last line, with Pause and Mute buttons that work without unlocking the phone.
You can now pause the run itself with a Pause run switch on the run screen: the clock, the distance and the Apple Health workout stop, on the watch too. Paused time and heart rate are left out of the splits and the run's own page, though its charts still cover the whole run.
Jaksa hears a chest strap, an Apple Watch and AirPods at once and uses the reading that makes sense, where it used to take a single merged number. If a source drops out, freezes, jumps or disagrees with the others, it switches away and the coach tells you.
If you have no training plan yet, your first run is an easy introductory jog where the coach asks a few questions, one at a time. Afterwards the finish screen proposes goals and a plan that you can keep, change in the chat, or turn down with No plan for me.
jaksa.run now has terms of service, linked next to Privacy at the bottom of every page. A website sign-in that was already used or not recognised now brings you back to jaksa.run with the error beside the sign-in buttons, instead of a blank page.

Build 9 · 13 October 2026

A Mute button, truer distance and no Strava duplicates

On the run screen, Talk is now a switch that shows whether the coach is listening, and a new Mute button silences the coach. A tap made while the coach is reconnecting is kept.
Distance is measured more carefully: the phone smooths its GPS positions before adding them up, so a run no longer comes out longer than it was. When an Apple Watch recorded the same minutes, its distance is used.
If your watch already put a run on Strava, Jaksa links to that activity instead of posting the run a second time.

Build 8 · 13 October 2026

Talk to your coach at home, and connect your own assistant

The app has a chat with your coach for when you are not running, typed or spoken. Its first job is helping you set your goals and training plan, and it asks before it changes anything.
The coach can answer questions about any stretch of a run: every kilometre or mile, two runs side by side, or a search through your past runs. It works mid-run and in the chat.
You can connect an AI assistant you already use to your Jaksa account. Once you approve it, it can read your runs and goals and do what the app does, by typing.

Build 7 · 13 October 2026

Five run pages, a live map and your run history

During a run you swipe between five pages: the main numbers, heart rate and zones, splits with a Lap button, a full map, and everything you and the coach have said, where you can make the coach Quiet, Normal or Chatty for this run.
A live map on Apple Maps draws the line you have run so far. The small map on the main page opens the full one with a tap; the full map follows you, north up or turned the way you run, regular or satellite.
Past runs sit under Week, Trends and Records. A run opens onto its own page: splits, its route coloured by pace, and pace, heart-rate and height charts you drag a finger along while a dot follows on the map. The finish screen shows the same map and splits.
Distance, pace, temperature and height each have their own units. You confirm them at the start of every run, and the coach says every number in them.
Jaksa keeps your long-term goals and your current training plan. The coach knows them and can change them when you ask, even mid-run.
Connecting Strava no longer fails, signing in with Google and Microsoft works, and jaksa.run has a privacy page.

Build 6 · 12 October 2026

Approving a website sign-in works first time

After you scan the code on jaksa.run, Jaksa asks you to approve only once the app is in front of you, and tries again by itself if the request was lost on the way. Before, the question could arrive while the app was still opening and go unanswered.

Build 5 · 12 October 2026

Sign in to jaksa.run by scanning a code with your iPhone

My runs on jaksa.run shows a QR code. Point the iPhone's camera at it, Jaksa opens and asks you to approve, and the website is signed in to your account.
The website can also sign you in with Apple, Google or Microsoft, the same way the app does.
A sign-in error on the website now shows in red, with room between it and the buttons.

Build 4 · 12 October 2026

A big clock, voice notes and a new icon

The run screen shows the time you have been running as a big number, the same size as pace and distance. On shorter phones the heart rate is a little smaller so the Stop button never leaves the screen.
Say "take a note" while you run and the coach keeps what you say with that run.
Jaksa has its own logo and app icon.
The Apple, Google and Microsoft sign-in buttons show each company's own logo and colours, all the same size.
When Strava is not set up yet, or a run cannot be stored, you hear a plain sentence instead of a technical error.
The website jaksa.run presents Jaksa, and its My runs page shows your runs once you sign in with the code from the app.

Build 3 · 12 October 2026

Jaksa opens on iOS 27

Jaksa now opens on iOS 27. The previous build stopped before its first screen there.

Build 2 · 12 October 2026

The app opens, and it is called Jaksa

The app no longer closes the moment it opens, which made the first build unusable.
The app is called Jaksa everywhere you read it: on the home screen, when signing in and in what the coach says.
Known problem: on iOS 27 this build still stops before its first screen. Install a newer one.

Build 1 · 12 October 2026

The first build: a coach in your ears while you run

Jaksa is a voice running coach for iPhone. Press Start and a coach talks to you through your AirPods while you run, and you can interrupt it at any moment just by talking.
The coach knows your heart rate, pace, distance, splits, the street you are on, the climb ahead and the weather, and answers any question about them straight away.
Heart rate comes from AirPods Pro 3 on their own, with no chest strap or watch.
Sign in with Apple, Google or Microsoft, or with an eight-character code. Every run is kept in your account; a run recorded without signal is sent the next time the app opens.
Connect your Strava account and every run is posted to it. Runs are also saved to Apple Health, and past runs show with a summary of your week.
Known problem: this build closes the moment it opens. Install a newer one.
