MergeFit gives you more control over your Apple Health workouts. Merge multiple workouts into one, copy a workout while changing its type or start time, or trim unwanted portions from the beginning or end. ** MERGE WORKOUTS ** MergeFit lets you combine two or more (up to 10) workouts of any type into a single comprehensive workout. All of the data recorded during your chosen workouts is included in the merged version — heart rate, energy burned, cadence, route, and more. The result is a complete workout that looks as though it was recorded in one go. ** TRIM WORKOUTS ** MergeFit allows you to trim any workout by removing portions from the start or end of the session. A new workout is created for the trimmed segment, complete with all of the original health data for just that portion. The original workout stays in Apple Health unless you decide to delete it. ** COPY WORKOUTS ** Create a new workout from any existing workout. Change its workout type, adjust its start time, or both, while preserving the workout’s recorded data. ** GET NOTIFIED WHEN WORKOUTS CAN BE MERGED ** MergeFit can automatically notify you whenever new workouts are eligible to be merged with existing ones. Tapping the notification takes you directly to the merge preview, so you can review the details before merging. ** EXPORT AND SHARE WORKOUTS ** Need to use your data outside of Apple Health? MergeFit can export workouts as FIT files. You can also upload them directly to Strava. MergeFit includes as much of the original workout data as possible in the export. ** USE CASES ** - Accidentally tapped Stop instead of Pause on your watch? Start another workout and merge the two sessions back into one. - Forgot to stop your workout after you finished? Trim away the extra time and keep only the part that matters. - Recorded an indoor ride with your bike trainer while using your watch for heart rate? Merge power, cadence, heart rate, and other data into a single workout. - Recorded a run as a walk by mistake? Copy the workout and change its activity type to Run. - Forgot to record a workout altogether? Copy a similar workout from a previous session and adjust its start time. ** IPAD COMPATIBILITY ** MergeFit works the same way on iPad as on iPhone. While the interface has not yet been redesigned for larger displays, all features are fully functional. ** FREE VS PRO VERSION ** MergeFit is free to download and use, with some limitations: - Free version allows merged workouts up to 1 hour of active duration - Merge notifications are not available in the free version - Workout trimming is not available in the free version Upgrade to MergeFit Pro with a one time in-app purchase to unlock unlimited merging, trimming, and smart merge notifications. Your purchase also helps support ongoing development and future improvements. Exciting new features are in the works!

About

PBSplits

Read full description

PBSplits is a free app that finds your fastest split at every standard distance across your run history. Most personal-best tools only know your finish times. If you've never raced a 5K, they think you've never done one. PBSplits looks inside each run and finds the fastest continuous window for every distance on the ladder, so the best 5K you ever ran shows up even if it was the middle 5K of a 12 K training jog. Three tabs, and it opens on the first. Runs is every run in your Health data — pull to refresh, tap any one to open it, even the ones that never hit a standard distance. Trends plots a distance over time, as pace or as finish time, with a year-over-year view to lay this season against the last; it also holds the Power Curve, your season's distance against last year's, and your weekly run streak. Me is your season and all-time totals and the record book: the ladder from 400 m to 100 K, grouped Short / Road / Ultra. Tap any effort and you get the whole run — the route on a map with the record-winning segment highlighted, a mile-by-mile splits table, and pace and elevation charts. Tap a split and its window lights up on the map and across the charts, so you can see exactly where you found the time. Season and all-time crowns mark the efforts that took a podium. Great for: • Runners who want PBs from training, not just races • Tracking progress over a season or a year • Finding the fastest you've ever covered a 5 K, 10 K, half, or marathon • Comparing efforts across short, road, and ultra distances • Anyone whose watch knows more than they do What you get: • Best-effort engine that finds your fastest continuous split at every distance, not whole-run averages • Full distance ladder from 400 m to 100 K, grouped Short / Road / Ultra • Every run, browsable: pull to refresh, and open runs that never hit a standard distance • Trend charts, progression and year-over-year, by pace or by time, pinch to zoom either axis • Mile-by-mile splits: tap a split to highlight its window on the map and the charts • Your watch's own laps and workout intervals, each in their own table • Power Curve: your best pace at every duration, from 30 seconds to your longest run, switchable to heart rate, for a season or your own date range • Weekly run streak, with every run day's distance on a heatmap • Export any run as a GPX or FIT file • Map view per effort, with the winning segment highlighted on the route • Season and all-time crowns on podium efforts • Share cards for a new PB, a podium, or your whole record book • Pick your pace units: min/km or min/mi • PBSplits reads your workouts from Apple Health and never writes to it • Your run data stays on your device Free to download — no subscription, no account.
