About

DragonPace

Features
Read full description

DragonPace helps dragon boat crews, coaches and paddlers keep training data, video and crew plans together on iPhone. • Record GPS routes, time, distance and speed. Review session history and available cadence data. • Keep original training video and zoom before or during recording. Choose export metrics and preview a clip first. • Search records and export CSV, GPX or ZIP backups. Select multiple records to export or delete after confirmation. • Organize paddlers, seats, crew lineups and left/right weight balance. AI Tracking Reference is optional and off by default. Enable it in Settings and recording automatically follows up to eight clearly visible people, without target or person-count setup. Each person's AI reference count — estimated from upper-body cycles — is shown separately and never added together. Results may miss, misidentify or lose movements. They do not confirm complete strokes or official stroke totals, and never replace GPS, Motion or existing official records. With your consent, analyse saved originals again, including videos recorded with AI off. Save a new reference revision, then choose each person's lines and numbers for a separate exported video. Originals and earlier revisions remain available. No account or login is required. Data stays on your iPhone without automatic uploads to the developer. You choose what to export, share or save to Photos. All features are free, with no in-app purchases, subscriptions or ads.
