What is PaceShouter? PaceShouter is a simple, hands-free running pace tracker that uses your device’s GPS and text-to-speech features to provide real-time audio feedback on your pace. Designed for runners who prioritise convenience, safety, and focus, PaceShouter keeps you informed without distracting you from your run. Modes Available: PaceShouter offers a variety of modes to track your pace during your runs.

Whether you’re focusing on staying consistent, achieving specific targets, or improving your tempo, PaceShouter lets you mix and match these modes to suit your needs.
