Ever find yourself glued to your screen during a run, obsessively checking your heart rate instead of focusing on your pace? PulsePacer fixes that. It’s the running companion that takes the guesswork out of heart rate zone training. No more distractions, no more breaking your rhythm. Here’s how it works: PulsePacer connects to your Bluetooth heart rate monitor (think Wahoo TICKR, Polar H10, Garmin HRM Dual, and more) and keeps track of your heart rate zones for you. When you slip out of your target zone, it gives you a quick audio nudge—right over your music, without drowning it out. The app is as straightforward as it gets: 1. Set your max heart rate. 2. Sync your heart rate monitor. 3. Start running. That’s it. Everything is processed right on your iPhone, so your data stays private, and the app stays fast. With its clean, no-frills design, PulsePacer won’t bog you down with extras you don’t need—it’s built to keep you focused on your run and nothing else. Whether you’re mastering Zone 2 endurance or pushing through interval sessions, PulsePacer keeps you in control, all without pulling you out of the moment. Available now for iOS 16.0 and up. Download it today from the App Store, and let PulsePacer take care of the zones while you take care of the miles.
