Your ride, on your wrist and in your pocket. Pacetastic is a focused cycling companion for iPhone and Apple Watch. Record outdoor rides with live speed, distance, elapsed time, heart rate, active energy and a real-time GPS route—then save the completed workout automatically to Apple Health and Fitness. START ON EITHER DEVICE Begin your ride from your iPhone or Apple Watch. Pacetastic keeps both devices synchronized, giving you glanceable controls and live metrics on your wrist while your phone can stay safely in your pocket. RIDE WITH LIVE METRICS Follow your current and average speed, distance, elapsed time, heart rate and active energy while you ride. The live route map shows where you have been without getting in your way. NEVER LOSE A RIDE Pacetastic checkpoints active rides and route data locally. If an app closes or a device loses power, ride recovery helps preserve the unfinished workout so it can still be completed or saved. APPLE HEALTH & FITNESS Completed cycling workouts, distance and GPS routes are saved to Apple Health and appear in Apple Fitness. Pacetastic can also import compatible cycling workouts from Apple Health into your ride history. YOUR BIKES, YOUR DISTANCE Choose the bicycle for each ride and keep an odometer for every bike. Review completed rides with route maps, detailed metrics and bicycle statistics. NO APPLE WATCH REQUIRED Record GPS rides with your iPhone alone. When an Apple Watch is available, use mirrored recording for live wrist metrics or record directly on the Watch. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your ride history is stored locally on your iPhone and in Apple Health. Pacetastic does not require an account and does not transmit your ride history to developer-operated servers. Location and Health access are optional permissions used only for the features you choose. Continued use of GPS in the background can decrease battery life.
