What are people using to track parkruns without overdoing it?

parkrun has made me realise i like seeing the 5k after, but not the whole app circus. Since finishing c25k last spring i've tried Strava, Nike Run Club and Hiiro for my Saturday 5ks, just as trackers, not training plans. Strava's fun because loads of parkrun people are on it, but i get sucked into comparing pace, which is silly at my level. Nike Run Club felt a bit busy for recording a slow loop round the park. Hiiro is what i've stuck with lately because the GPS bit is simple and there's no forced social feed, though i think its actual training side is marathon only and Apple Watch based right now, so not really my lane. Less faff. I might be wrong but for parkrun, that's enough? Curious what others use, especially if you're not chasing PBs every week.
