WorkDropPace
DropPace. Our own app, in both app stores.
DropPace is our running app. You finish a run and add a photo. You get the photo back with your route and stats on top, ready to post.
DropPace is our own product, not client work. Unlike a made-up concept, the brand and every number here are real. The app is live in both stores under Nuko Nova Dynamics LLC, our company. We never quote its ratings or download counts.

A run is a list of numbers. Now it is a photo you can post.
Before
- A finished run sits in a tracker as numbers.
- To share it, you take a screenshot.
Now
- One photo becomes three posts: Drop, Overlay and Remix.
- Each number on a post comes from the run.
The brief. What it had to do.
DropPace is our own product. We built it and we run it: the app, the server, the payments and the admin. A runner finishes a workout, adds a photo and picks a style. They get the picture back with the route and stats drawn on, ready to post. One set of code runs it as a real app on iOS and Android. Both store listings have been live under Nuko Nova Dynamics LLC since 24 July 2026. The site at droppace.com is in English and Spanish.
A finished run sits in a tracker as a list of numbers. To share it, you take a screenshot. Or you use a template that covers your own photo with someone else's design.
For us, the problem was proof. A business that sells apps should have one a stranger can install.
What it had to do
- Launch a real product we run ourselves. Then anyone thinking of hiring us can download what we build.
- Turn a finished run into a post in about a minute. The minute runs from the lock screen to the share menu.
- Pass review in both app stores with one set of code.
- Keep the runner's photo as the runner shot it.
What we had to work around
- The photo stays the runner's own. Drop never changes it.
- Each number on an image is checked against the run. The check happens before the runner sees it.
- One set of code runs as a real app on iOS and Android. Both stores approved it before launch.
- Runs come from the phone's health data: HealthKit on iOS, Health Connect on Android.
What we built. Open it and check it.
- 01An app for iOS and Android that reads finished runs from the phone's health data.
- 02Three kinds of image from one process. Drop puts the stats and route on your photo. Overlay is a see-through layer for any story. Remix restyles the photo and draws the stats in.
- 03A server that stores runs, images and accounts. It gives each phone a lasting ID.
- 04Payments through RevenueCat. Each payment message is checked and can't be counted twice. The web offers a founder lifetime price.
- 05droppace.com in English and Spanish: how it works, the style catalog, pricing and the founder page.
- 06Store listings under Nuko Nova Dynamics LLC, our own company.
The calls we made. And why.
- 01
Whose photo is it?
The runner's, untouched. Drop puts the stats and the route on the picture as shot. Only Remix restyles it, and the runner chooses that.
Why
A template that covers the runner's photo is the kind people stop using. The picture is the reason to post. The stats are the caption.
- 02
One output or three?
Three, all made the same way: Drop, Overlay and Remix.
Why
A story needs a see-through layer. A feed post needs the photo. Some runners want the magazine look. One process keeps the stats the same in all three.
- 03
Can an image show a number the run did not produce?
No. Every image is checked against the workout it came from before anyone sees it.
Why
A 5.00 km run that was 4.6 is a lie on someone's feed, with our app's mark on it. The check runs before the image reaches the runner.
- 04
Two apps, or one set of code for both?
One set of code, built with Expo. It runs as a real app on both kinds of phone and passed review in both stores.
Why
We are a two-person studio. We can't run two sets of app code and a server too. One set of code reached both stores on the same day.
Measured outcomes.
Every figure is a fact about the shipped product, checkable in the stores or on droppace.com. Ratings and download counts are never quoted.
