HOW IT WORKS From data on your own watch, ring or CPAP device — or from a daily check-in with no device at all — mypacing builds a clear daily assessment: resting heart rate, sleep, HRV trend, walking heart rate, exertion, weather, cycle and your own report all feed in. That makes it visible when strain builds up over several days, before it turns into a crash. WHAT MYPACING OFFERS • A daily assessment with personal tips • A history over time, to recognise your own patterns • A doctor's report that only you generate — to bring to your appointment • An emergency card for acute situations • A NASA Lean Test-style standing test • Medication and crash diary • Automatic analysis of Apple Health, Garmin, ResMed/CPAP, Visible and Whoop exports; Oura, Withings and Polar via file upload SHARED ANALYSIS (MYPACINGLAB) If you use mypacing with an account and explicitly consent to the processing of your health data, suitable daily values are pseudonymised and included in the shared mypacingLAB analysis. This shared analysis is currently part of mypacing's core function and cannot be switched off separately. Group results are shown only once at least 10 people stand behind them. Full details are in the privacy policy and consent text. WHAT MYPACING IS NOT mypacing is not a medical device. It does not diagnose, does not predict, and does not replace a conversation with your doctor. It gives hints, not predictions. WHO BUILT IT mypacing is a free, ad-free project by Sarah and Siegfried Gaier. Sarah lives with Long COVID, PEM and severe fatigue herself — mypacing is the tool she wished she'd had. Funded by voluntary donations, no subscription, no ads, no health-data sharing for advertising. ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 1.1.40 — 2026-09-12 New since the last version (1.1.39): TRACK PEM ACROSS 72 HOURS • In Tools, you can now look back at 0–24 h, 24–48 h and 48–72 h after exertion and record whether you were affected, unsure or not affected. • “Unsure” remains its own state and is not treated as “no crash” – important for your personal diary and for clean analyses in mypacingLAB. MORE TRANSPARENCY ABOUT YOUR DATA • The exertion battery now describes its actual data basis more accurately. If there is no check-in today, the app no longer claims that the estimate comes from check-ins. • For sleep and HRV, the iPhone app reduces the source on-device to a broad class such as Apple, Garmin, Whoop or Oura. Raw bundle identifiers, device UUIDs or device names are not sent to mypacing for this purpose. • The sleep source remains only in the encrypted personal daily record. For HRV, the broad source class is retained so different HRV measurement methods and measurement windows can be interpreted correctly. ### 1.1.39 — 2026-09-11 New since the last version (1.1.35): INTERVAL TIMER AND WEEKLY REVIEW • The interval timer no longer schedules section changes as background notifications on iOS for now. The interim approach could leave stale notifications after the app process ended and did not reliably respect the timer's sound and vibration switches. The timer continues to work in the foreground; when you return, it recalculates the current state from the clock. This keeps the promise limited to behavior iOS can reliably deliver. • The weekly review now shows one week at a time. After a saved answer, another week is only offered when you choose to continue — without a progress bar, streak or sense of obligation. This greatly reduces the number of decisions visible at once. THE SWITCH FOR PUSH NOTICES NOW HAS THE SAME NAME EVERYWHERE It used to have three different names. It is now “Daily notices” everywhere. The name is also more accurate: at most once a day, this channel checks whether your resting heart rate is above the limit you entered or whether you recently marked a crash. It is not a prediction. ALSO • When the camera measurement finds no usable signal, it stops before the actual minute begins. The inaccurate “in twenty seconds” wording now says “in just over twenty seconds”; measured, it is 23 to 24. ### 1.1.35 — 2026-09-10 New since the last version (1.1.34): THE SWITCH FOR PUSH NOTICES NOW HAS THE SAME NAME EVERYWHERE It said three different things in three places: your device settings said “Daily notices”, the account screen said “Crash alerts”, and the first-run permission step said something else again. Anyone looking for the switch they had seen in system settings did not find it in the app. It is now “Daily notices” everywhere: • in your account, under “Notifications” • in the permission step on day one • in the error message when setting it up fails • in the help • and in your device settings, where it always said that The name is also the more honest one. What this channel does is a simple check: is your resting heart rate above the limit you entered, or did you recently mark a crash? At most once a day. That is not a prediction, and a name that promises a warning about an event should not be one either. ALSO • A number that was wrong: when the camera measurement finds no usable signal it stops before the actual minute even begins — and it used to say “in twenty seconds”. Measured, it is 23 to 24. A small thing, unless you are the one holding still and counting. It now says “in just over twenty seconds”. ### 1.1.34 — 2026-09-09 New since the last version (1.1.33): SYMPTOMS NOW START AT “MILD” — AND A CROSS SHOWS YOU CAN TAKE THEM BACK Tapping a symptom tile used to mean you had said “moderate”. But the first tap says THAT something is there, not how badly. “Moderate” was a statement nobody had made — and it went into your doctor's report and, if you support the research pool, there as well. Every symptom now starts at “mild”, and the order runs upwards, the way the tile itself shows it: mild, moderate, severe, gone. Also: nothing anywhere said a symptom could be taken back off. It always worked — you just had to find out by accident. Every selected tile now carries a small cross, and the hint above it names all four states instead of three. WE NOW SAY WHICH ADDRESS WE TRIED When an email from us comes back permanently, your Today screen says so. The first possible reason it listed was “a typo in the address” — without showing the address the typo is supposed to be in. Anyone wanting to look had to go into account settings first. Now it stands above the button, shortened as it should be: “s••••@wen.de”. Of five permanently blocked addresses, three were typos, two of them in the domain. You see it at once when it is written down. NO MORE QUESTIONS ABOUT DAYS BEFORE YOUR ACCOUNT EXISTED One user was offered around a hundred days from before he signed up. The rule had already been changed on the website but not in the app — and the Today screen has two follow-up cards, neither of which knew the day you joined. Both now use the same calculation: we ask from the later of two points, 21 days back or the day you came on board. ALSO • “Brain Fog” is now written “Brainfog” throughout the app — the same spelling as on the website and in our emails. Nothing changes in what is stored; it is only the text you read. • New in the help section: “What happens to my stand test result?” The question has been on the website since early August and was missing here — exactly the question that comes up after your first stand test. ### 1.1.33 — 2026-09-08 New since the last version (1.1.32): NEWS BY EMAIL — NOW WITH A SWITCH Until now this app asked about the newsletter exactly once: when you registered. Never again after that. The only way out led through the unsubscribe link at the foot of such an email — and anyone without one in their inbox had no way at all, neither out nor back in. Under “Account” there is now “News by email”, and the switch works both ways. It shows what currently applies and does not flip on its own. Below it, in plain words, is what you WILL still receive if you turn it off: your weekly review, if you set one up, and messages about access to your account. Those are not news, and there is no switch for them — otherwise you could accidentally unsubscribe yourself from your own password reset. One user searched for this three times in a single day and apologised for it in her third email. She had not missed anything; it did not exist. Article 7(3) GDPR says withdrawing consent must be as easy as giving it. Here it was not. FITBIT WORKS, AND OUR OWN ANSWER SAID THE OPPOSITE Our help text said “not directly at the moment, and there is no switch for it”. That was true until 2 August 2026. Since version 5.05 of the Fitbit app — now called Google Health — that switch exists, and it writes to Apple Health. One caveat belongs with it, and it is now in the help text too: HRV does NOT come through Apple Health. Fitbit calculates it as RMSSD, Apple stores SDNN — the same number means different things in each, and we would otherwise read it wrongly. Heart rate, sleep and steps do arrive. Anyone who only reads “it doesn't work” looks for the fault in themselves. So the reason is stated. SOME THINGS ARE CALLED SOMETHING ELSE NOW The “Health Sync” tab is now “Health Data”. A “crash day” has become simply a “crash”, “synchronise” has become “data sync”, and “traffic-light status” is now “your own assessment”. They are the same things — they are just called the same everywhere now: in the app, on the website and in our emails. If you look for an old name and cannot find it, it is standing right next to where it was. ALSO • Corrected: the English legal text named a button that does not exist under that name. • The weekly review no longer asks for a confidence rating. It was never evaluated — “I don't remember” is already an equal answer and costs you no second question. • A small fix in the Fitbit instructions: they now name both routes Fitbit can pass its values along, instead of only one. ## More apps by Siegfried Gaier - [VL1 Quiz](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/vl1-quiz/id6758317346) - [PaperNest](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/papernest/id6758587046) All apps by Siegfried Gaier: https://appshunter.io/developer/1872177646 ## Related topics [bloomy pacing app](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/bloomy-pacing-app) · [long-covid tagebuch](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/long-covid-tagebuch) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
