FitHalo vs Pace Monster

FitHalo is an all-in-one workout app for iPhone and Apple Watch. FitHalo tracks cardio, strength training, rucking, and specialty workouts in one place, with features other workout apps don't offer, from loaded carry tracking and Bluetooth equipment control to strength plans built around your schedule. Every workout also counts toward a single weekly challenge score, whether logged with FitHalo, Apple Watch, or any fitness app that syncs with Apple Health. ONE SCORE FOR ALL YOUR WORKOUTS Earn points from every workout based on duration and intensity, with bonus points for a variety of workout types and for staying active every day. Choose a challenge tier to match your fitness level, and compete with friends. STRENGTH TRAINING Track sets, reps, and weights across more than 700 exercises with video demonstrations. During a workout, FitHalo suggests the weight for each set, times your rest, and shows which plates to put on the bar. A muscle map shows which muscles each workout trained. ROUTINES & WORKOUT PLANS Build your own routines or have FitHalo generate one, then arrange them into a workout plan that fits your schedule. Routines and plans can be shared with friends. TRAINING REPORTS Create a PDF training report for any date range or a single workout, with every set, personal record, and muscle map. Print it for your records or share it with a coach or healthcare provider. RUCKING, WEIGHTED VEST & SPECIALTY WORKOUTS FitHalo is the go-to tracker for rucking and loaded carry exercises. Track rucks, weighted vest walks, stroller walks and runs, sauna sessions, and cold plunges. These workouts are tracked without negatively affecting your Cardio Fitness score in Apple Health. BLUETOOTH FITNESS EQUIPMENT Connect to exercise bikes, treadmills, rowing machines, walking pads, and other equipment that supports the Fitness Machine Service (FTMS) protocol. See live data during workouts, control treadmill speed and incline, or adjust bike resistance directly from FitHalo. STRAVA & HEVY INTEGRATION Connect your Strava account to sync workouts automatically, optionally with the exercises and sets from your strength workouts. FitHalo can also sync routines and strength workouts with your Hevy account. APPLE WATCH & WIDGETS FitHalo's watchOS app offers customizable workout displays and complications for your challenge score. Log strength sets from your wrist, with the current exercise and rest timer kept in step with your iPhone. Home screen widgets, lock screen widgets, and Live Activities keep you informed during and between workouts, including your daily step count goal.

A monster is always behind you. Pace Monster turns your iPhone's step counter into a chase. A cute monster walks at your daily step goal, all day, every day. Every step you take keeps you ahead of it. Sit still too long and it closes in. If it catches you, you lose a heart. Lose every heart in one day and it evolves into something scarier, and your streak breaks. A walking game for anyone who wants a reason to move. No workouts. No sessions. No GPS. Just walk. HOW IT WORKS • Pick your daily pace (2,000–12,000 steps) and how many hearts you get each day • Your iPhone's motion sensor drives the chase. Add the Home Screen widget and one glance shows how close it is • Wear an Apple Watch? Allow Apple Health and your watch steps join the chase. The watch app and complication show the monster on your wrist • The monster's face tells the story: oblivious when you're safely ahead, game face when it's gaining, genuinely scary when it's close • Hit your daily goal and the monster falls asleep until tomorrow. Nothing catches you after that • Win a day and it calms down a phase. Get wiped out and it evolves into a faster, meaner monster • Every day lands on your streak calendar. Tap any day to see how it went, hour by hour BUILT TO BE FAIR • Every 7-day streak earns a freeze token, and you can hold two. Sick, injured or traveling? Freeze the day and your streak survives • Pause everything, any time, penalty-free • Steps past double your pace earn nothing extra. This is a walking game, not a grinding game • Walking is always enough. Running is never required • Changes to your pace or hearts start tomorrow, so every day is played by the rules it started with YOUR DATA • No account needed. No GPS • Steps come from your iPhone's motion sensor and, if you allow it, from Apple Health (HealthKit), so Apple Watch steps count too. Pace Monster reads steps only, never writes to Apple Health, and processes them on your iPhone. Health data is never used for ads or shared with anyone • Create an optional account (Sign in with Apple, Google or email) to back up your streak and settings for a new phone • Export or erase everything from Settings • Two short video ads and nothing more: one before you spend a freeze token, and at most one a day when you open your streak history. Never when you get caught, and pausing is always ad-free Choose your pace. Stay ahead. Don't get caught.
