## What is Personal Bests?

Personal Bests helps you discover your fastest efforts hidden inside your workouts.

Most fitness apps only show totals: total distance, total time, average pace.
Personal Bests goes deeper.

It analyzes every workout in Apple Health and finds your fastest segments of any length, then ranks them across all your workouts and timeframes.

Need to find your fastest 7K segment within the last year?
Your fastest 1-mile effort ever, even if it happened in the middle of a longer run?
Your best 500m row, 5K ride, or 1K swim?

Personal Bests will find it.

Segment-Based Personal Bests
• Automatically finds your fastest segments for any distance you care about.
• Works across running, cycling, walking, swimming, rowing, and more.
• Segments don’t need to align with workout start or end — Personal Bests finds the fastest effort anywhere inside a workout.

Custom Distances
• Track exactly what matters to you.
• Add any segment length: 400m, 1K, 7K, 10 miles, marathon, or anything else.
• Set favorite segments per activity for quick access.

Rankings Across Time
• Rank your segments against all your workouts.
• Filter rankings by timeframe:
  • All-time
  • Past year
  • Past months or weeks
  • Custom time windows
• Instantly see where a workout ranks — 1st, top 10, or beyond.

Detailed Segment Analysis
• View segment results, rankings, and medals for each workout.
• See which distance source was used (GPS route, Health statistics, or raw samples).
• Export segment results or distance data as CSV for deeper analysis.

Powerful Rankings View
• Browse leaderboards by:
  • Segment (fastest times)
  • Duration (longest workouts)
  • Distance (farthest efforts)
• Filter by activity type, timeframe, and segment length.
• Quickly jump from rankings into the full workout details.

Now on iPhone, iPad & Mac
• Your segments and rankings sync securely through your own iCloud.
• Widgets keep your latest personal bests on the Home Screen.
• Background notifications alert you the moment you set a new best.
• Optional, on-device AI summaries (Beta) give a quick recap of a workout.

Flexible & Private
• Uses your existing Apple Health data.
• No third-party accounts — your data syncs privately through your own iCloud.
• Analysis runs on-device.
• You stay in full control of what’s included.

Who Is This For?
Personal Bests is built for athletes who care about performance, not just totals:
• Runners tracking PRs at multiple distances
• Cyclists comparing best efforts over time
• Swimmers, rowers, and endurance athletes
• Anyone who wants deeper insight into their training history

If you’ve ever wondered “When was I actually at my fastest?”, Personal Bests is for you.
