About

PentaRace

Features
Read full description

PentaRace is a clean, focused GPS tracker for runs, rides and hikes. No ads, no subscription, no account to create: just the numbers that matter, on a full-screen map. TRACK EVERY OUTING Pick Run, Ride or Hike, tap Start and watch your route draw itself live on the map. Duration, distance, speed and calories stay in large, easy-to-read digits at the top of the screen, while a compact bar at the bottom shows your heading, your current altitude and the Start, Pause and Stop buttons. Pause whenever you need to, then stop to save your activity. APPLE WATCH Start from your wrist, or tap Start on your iPhone: the workout begins on your watch, which measures heart rate and calories itself. Duration, distance, speed, calories and your heart rate zone are shown in large digits, the map shows your route, and your iPhone follows the workout live. Pause with a double tap, resume or stop from either device. Went out without your iPhone? The workout joins your history as soon as it's back in range. A complication shows your last activity on the watch face. HEART RATE SENSORS, NO PAIRING HASSLE PentaRace connects automatically to any standard Bluetooth heart rate sensor: chest straps such as the Polar H10, Garmin HRM or Wahoo TICKR, optical armbands, or a sport watch broadcasting its heart rate. Your live heart rate appears in a color-coded banner showing your current effort zone, from warm-up to max, based on a maximum heart rate estimated from your age. CALORIE ESTIMATES THAT MAKE SENSE Enter your age, sex and weight once. Without a sensor, PentaRace estimates the calories you burn from your speed (shown with a ~). As soon as a heart rate sensor is connected, it switches to a heart-rate-based formula for a more accurate figure. APPLE HEALTH Every saved activity is written to the Health app as a running, cycling or hiking workout, with its GPS route, distance, calories, heart rate and speed samples, pauses, per-kilometer splits and elevation gain. On iOS 27, Health and Fitness use PentaRace's heart rate zones. YOUR HISTORY, ON ALL YOUR DEVICES Your activities sync through your own iCloud account. Open any of them to see its map, its key stats (duration, distance, average and maximum speed, elevation, calories, heart rate) and charts of speed, altitude and heart rate over time, with effort zones shaded on the heart rate chart. Rename an activity with a tap, and share a clean image of its map and stats from the share sheet. YOUR LANGUAGE, YOUR UNITS The app is available in English and French, and distances, speeds, altitude and weight follow your region: miles, mph and feet in the US, kilometers and meters elsewhere. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No analytics, no ads, no third-party SDKs. Your activities and fitness profile stay on your iPhone, your Apple Watch, in your iCloud account and in the Health app. Whether it's a quick 5K, a long Sunday ride or a weekend hike, PentaRace tracks it without getting in the way.
