Everything you need to know about Kyde and how it works.

Getting started

Kyde is a real-time audio running coach that guides you through any run and adapts to your heart rate and pace on the fly. It provides hands-free coaching without requiring phone interaction.

Kyde offers real-time, moment-by-moment coaching based on live data and can guide any run type rather than relying on preset plans. Users can create custom workouts with AI assistance.

Coaching

Yes. The app lowers music volume for prompts, pauses podcasts before speaking, and works during phone calls with background audio.

Devices & data

No wearable is required, though heart rate broadcasting devices enhance coaching. Without one, the app guides using pace, distance, and workout structure via your phone.

Any device broadcasting heart rate works, including Whoop, Garmin, Apple Watch, and Huawei. Polar, Fitbit, and Samsung devices should also broadcast HR data.
