Siri running app: Kotcha is built for iOS 27

Kotcha is now built for iOS 27. With today's update, you can ask Siri for your next workout, your week or your goal, find your plan, sessions and coach straight from Spotlight, and scroll back through your full chat history with Coach K. Flyover replays now play over satellite imagery. If you wanted a Siri running app that actually knows your training plan, this is it.

What's new

• Siri. Ask about your next workout, your training week or your goal, hands-free.
• Spotlight. Your plan, your sessions and your coach show up in iPhone search.
• Full coach chat history. Every conversation with Coach K is there, so you can scroll back as far as you need.
• Better maps. The map experience is improved, and flyover replays now fly over satellite imagery.
• Optimised for iOS 27 across the app.

How Siri works with Kotcha

Your coach used to live inside the app. Now it's one question away. Lacing up at the door and can't remember what today's session is? Ask Siri about your next workout. Wondering how the rest of your week looks before you plan dinner with friends? Ask about your week. Need a reminder of what you're training for? Ask about your goal.

It's the kind of small friction that adds up. Less time unlocking your phone and tapping through screens, more time getting out the door.

Spotlight: your plan, one swipe away

Swipe down on your Home Screen, type what you're looking for, and Kotcha shows up in the results: your plan, your sessions, your coach. It's the fastest way to jump to exactly the screen you need, whether that's tomorrow's tempo run or a chat with Coach K.

Your full conversation with Coach K

Your coach chat is where a lot of the real coaching happens. You ask questions, explain how you feel, and since earlier this year, Coach K can even adjust your plan from the conversation (read more in our post on Huawei sync and AI plan changes).

With full chat history, nothing gets lost. Scroll back to find that advice about your long run pace, or what your coach said before your last race. It's your training story, in your own words.

Satellite flyovers

Last week we launched the Scratch Map and the flyover replay of each run. Now the flyover travels over satellite imagery, so you can see the real landscape your run crossed: the park, the river, the ridge line. Discover the Scratch Map in The Scratch Map: every run uncovers the world.

Why it matters

A good coach is available when you need them, not only when you remember to open an app. Siri and Spotlight bring Kotcha closer to how you actually live: on the move, phone in pocket, a few minutes before a run. And a complete chat history means your coaching relationship builds over time, the way it does with a human coach.

The method behind your plan doesn't change. It's still the elite approach built with Eliud Kipchoge and Kilian Jornet, adapted to you every week. It's just easier to reach.

How to get it

Update to iOS 27 and the latest version of Kotcha from the App Store. Then try asking Siri about your next workout, or search for your plan in Spotlight.
