GlintA grid at a glance
TIME, DISTANCE, PACE and STEPS in kilometres or miles, with the current lap and your cadence during a workout.
GLINTOS MINI-APP · HEALTH & FITNESS
Time, pace and steps.
In view while you run.
Workout shows time, GPS distance, pace and steps on your Maverick AI or AI Pro glasses while you run or walk. No account, API key or internet.
What it is.
Workout turns your Everysight Maverick AI or AI Pro glasses into a display for runs and walks. A 2 × 2 grid shows elapsed time, distance from your phone’s GPS, current pace, and steps with cadence in steps per minute, without taking out the phone or looking at a watch. A status line under the grid says what feeds the numbers, such as GPS accuracy in metres.
Steps come from the glasses’ own motion sensor, so you need no separate pedometer. You pause, mark laps and finish from the temple touchpad or an optional R08+ ring. The only setup is precise location on the phone, needed for distance and pace. Without it, Workout still records time and steps.
What you get.
Pace that follows you
Current pace over the last 30 seconds of movement. While paused, your average pace.
Distance without the noise
Inaccurate fixes, sudden jumps and small drifts are ignored, so standing still adds no distance.
Pause, laps and finish
The clock counts active time only. Each lap’s time shows in a chip for 10 seconds, and Finish asks before it saves.
A history of 50 workouts
Date, duration, distance, average pace, steps and lap times, on the glasses and on the phone.
Keeps recording
The workout continues in other apps. If GlintOS closes, it is restored when GlintOS starts again.
On your glasses.
Workout
The grid at zero and a status line such as GPS 5 M / STEPS READY, with Start, History and, until location is allowed, Allow GPS.
Run
The grid updates every second, with Pause and Lap. Paused, a PAUSED chip appears and the actions are Resume, Finish and Discard.
Saved
The finished workout’s time, distance, pace, steps and laps. Done returns to the main screen.
History
Saved workouts, newest first, with date, duration, distance, pace and steps. Tap one for details and a Delete that asks first.
How you control it.
| Swipe forward | Moves to the next button, workout or page, or between the two choices of a confirmation. |
|---|---|
| Swipe back | Moves focus the other way. |
| Tap | Presses the selected button, such as Start, Pause, Lap or Finish, or opens a saved workout. |
| Long tap | Goes one level up, then Home; a running workout keeps recording. If Long tap is set to Assistant, it starts the assistant instead. |
| Voice | Optional, through the GlintOS assistant: say pause, resume, lap or finish while Workout is open. |
Gestures come from the temple touchpad on Maverick AI and AI Pro glasses. An optional R08+ smart ring can send the same gestures from your finger.
Home and phone.
No widget of its own. The Home Summary widget shows the time and distance while you run, then your last workout. In other apps, the status rail shows a RUN chip.
A live timer with distance, steps, cadence and the status line.
Start, Pause, Lap, Resume and Finish, plus Allow location and the km or miles switch. Finish still asks on the glasses.
The history with lap times. Delete here removes a workout without asking.
What you need.
- Glasses
- Maverick AI or AI Pro
They show the grid and count steps with their motion sensor; eye tracking is not used. While they are disconnected, steps pause but GPS distance keeps counting.
- Phone
- Android 11 or later, with GPS
Workout runs on the phone; distance and pace come from its GPS, about once a second.
- Permissions
- Precise location
Asked when you tap Allow GPS on the glasses or Allow location on the phone; choose Precise, because approximate location counts no distance. The microphone is needed only for voice commands.
- Special access
- Run in background, on by default
Keep it on under Settings > Background connection in the GlintOS phone companion app, so the glasses stay linked when you leave the app. Android battery settings can still limit it.
- Account
- Not needed
There is no sign-in, and Workout contacts no online service.
- API key
- Not needed
Nothing to enter. The only setting is units.
- Internet
- Not needed
Workout reaches no web host.
- Hardware
- R08+ smart ring, optional
Paired with the phone in touch mode, with Ring control and the GlintOS ring control accessibility service on, it sends the same gestures as the temple touchpad. Workout reads no health data from it.
- Cost
- None
No subscription or paid service.
These rows are about Workout. GlintOS itself also needs internet on the phone the first time it connects to your glasses and about once a month after that, when the glasses’ security certificate is renewed.
Set it up.
- Open Workout from the glasses Home dock, or Apps > Workout in the phone companion app.
- Tap Allow GPS and choose Precise in the Android prompt.
- If you picked Approximate, switch GlintOS to Precise in Android’s app settings.
- Keep the phone’s location switch on, and Run in background on under Settings > Background connection.
- Pick km or miles on Workout’s page in the phone companion app.
- Wait for a GPS accuracy, such as GPS 5 M, then tap Start.
Your data.
- A saved workout holds only totals and laps. No GPS route is stored.
- Data stays in GlintOS’s private storage on the phone, excluded from cloud backup.
- You can turn Location or Head motion off for Workout alone, and Clear data deletes everything it saved.
- Voice commands go to your phone’s speech service, which may process the audio online.
Good to know.
- GlintOS is an independent project in development, with the free public APK planned for December 2026. Workout is untested on real glasses, and step counting only on synthetic data.
- No heart rate, map, route or export, and history keeps 50 workouts.
- Made for running and walking. GPS jumps faster than about 43 km/h are skipped, so fast cycling is not measured correctly.
- Distance may pause while the phone is locked, which is not yet verified. Steps are counted only while the glasses are connected.
Questions.
Can Maverick AI glasses show running pace and distance?
Yes, with GlintOS and Workout. Distance and pace come from your Android phone’s GPS, and steps from the glasses’ motion sensor.
Does Workout need an account, API key or internet?
No. Workout has no sign-in, nothing to enter and no internet access. You only allow precise location on the phone.
Does Workout measure heart rate?
No. The glasses have no heart-rate sensor, and Workout reads none from other wearables.
Why does distance stay at zero?
The status line names the cause, such as GPS NEEDS PERMISSION. Allow precise location and turn on the phone’s location.
What happens if GlintOS closes during a run?
The live workout is saved every 15 seconds and restored the next time GlintOS starts. The gap counts as workout time, with no distance or steps.
