Getting started

Create an account, get the app, and share your first live run. Most people are up and running in a few minutes.

How VOY works#

There are two roles in every VOY run. Runners create an account and stream a run from the mobile app. Viewers open a public link to watch — no account, no app, nothing to install.

  • You start a run in the VOY app; it streams GPS and heart rate live.
  • A share link is created instantly — send it to anyone.
  • Viewers watch your route, pace, and heart rate move in real time.
  • They can send cheers and comments that appear on your run.
  • When you finish, the link becomes a recap you can revisit anytime.

Create your account#

  1. 1

    Sign up

    Head to the sign-up page and register with your email and a password, or continue with Google. The same account works on the web and in the mobile app.

  2. 2

    Get the mobile app

    Install VOY on your phone — this is where you start and track runs. See The mobile app for pairing your GPS and heart rate.

  3. 3

    Start a run

    Open the app, pick your activity, and tap start. Your run goes live immediately and a share link is ready to send.

  4. 4

    Share it

    Drop the link in a text or group chat. Anyone who opens it can watch live — read more in Share links & viewers.

Want to see it first?

The interactive demo plays back a real run exactly as a viewer would see it — no account needed. It's the fastest way to understand the experience.

What you do on the web vs. the app#

Live tracking needs your phone's GPS and heart-rate sensor, so runs are always started and streamed from the mobile app. The web console is for everything around a run:

  • Schedule an upcoming run and share its countdown link.
  • Review your run history, stats, and recaps.
  • Copy and manage share links.
  • Connect Strava and manage your account.
  • Download a finished run as a GPX file.
