Field Guide for Testers
TY4FWM
RUHN is a narrative fitness app. An AI voice companion named D.I.A.N.A. guides you through story missions while you run. Your effort level changes what she says. Headphones required.
The app opens cold. Tap when prompted. Enter a callsign, listen to D.I.A.N.A., authorize permissions, then DEPLOY. You will do a 10 minute outdoor run. After it ends, you get your rank. Always E Rank on your first mission. Setup takes about 2 minutes before you start running.
After onboarding you land on the Dashboard with 5 tabs:
9 story missions, 12 to 35 minutes each. D.I.A.N.A. adapts her dialogue based on your effort. Walking is valid. Sprinting unlocks deeper narrative. Both progress your rank.
There is a 24 hour cooldown between story missions. To skip it: Settings > Debug > Unlock Next Mission
Your pace (or heart rate on treadmill) determines your tier. Different tiers unlock different D.I.A.N.A. dialogue.
Default thresholds work for most people. If tiers feel off (you are running but it says MID), calibrate: Settings > Calibration > Run Calibration. Guided 2 minute outdoor test. Walk, jog, run, sprint for 30 seconds each. Thresholds compute from your actual pace.
Any standard BLE heart rate device works (Polar, Garmin, Wahoo). Settings > Signal Monitor > Scan for Relays. HR drives tier classification on treadmill. Outdoors, GPS stays primary.
Settings > Route Planner. Tap the map to place waypoints. Routes snap to roads. Red dots are traffic signals. Green checkmark closes the loop. DEPLOY starts a run with D.I.A.N.A. turn by turn navigation.
Protocol tab. Enter your mile time or pick an estimate. Pick a distance (5K, 10K, Half). Calendar shows weekly workouts with DEPLOY on each.
After your first outdoor run, race a ghost of yourself.
Every mission has a SIM toggle for indoor testing without GPS.
Choose RUHN or YOUR MUSIC before your first mission. Speaker icon mutes during runs. Play from Spotify, Apple Music, or any app.
Settings > Safety. One tap call button during runs.
Running is not exercise in RUHN. It is access. Your movement generates a signal that D.I.A.N.A. reads. The Current is the ambient layer beneath physical movement. You are a Hunter. Different effort produces different signal quality. Walking gets you there. Sprinting gets you deeper.
Anything that crashes, confuses, looks wrong, or does not feel right. Screenshots and screen recordings help a lot.
