Pepper is the fastest squirrel in Maple Hollow and your running coach. Cozy to 5K takes you from the couch to a full 5K in nine gentle weeks using the classic walk-run method, then bridges you to 10K over six more. Pepper calls every step out loud, with soft chimes and voice cues that keep going with your screen locked and play over your own music.

Progress is a trail, not a grind. A journey map winds through Maple Hollow one week at a time, with a friendly race against Sorrel the hedgehog at each finish line, acorn effort ratings, stickers, and steady-week streaks. Rest days are celebrated, never punished.

It is completely offline with no account, no ads, no purchases, and no tracking. Your progress never leaves your device. Cozy to 5K is a running coach, not a medical one: if you are new to exercise or have any health concerns, check with your doctor first.
