PaceBoard

Your couch called. It says it'll be fine without you. PaceBoard turns Apple Health into a dashboard that shows exactly how much you ran, walked and stepped today. Or didn't. We'll both know. On your Home Screen, Lock Screen and Apple Watch. No account, no feed, nobody watching except your shoes. Set goals, keep your streak alive, and let the progress bar judge you quietly. Lovingly. WIDGETS & APPLE WATCH Check your progress without opening the app, because opening apps is cardio you didn't sign up for. A foam-track bar shows how much is left to your goal. The Apple Watch app has a full dashboard, workout recording and shoe selection. SHOE CLOSET Every pair gets a photo and a mileage counter. Get a heads-up when they're worn out, before your knees file a complaint. Pick your shoe before each workout, or swap mid-run with Plus. DISCOVERY MAP Your whole city is covered in fog, and clearing it is your problem now. Every street you run or walk gets revealed, with a coverage percentage and explored area in km² or mi². Yes, it's addictive. No, we're not sorry. DASHBOARD Running, walking or steps, by day, week, month or year. Recent workouts, goals and today's training plan workout on one screen. Zero scrolling for excuses. WORKOUT RECORDING Start a run or walk from your iPhone or Apple Watch. Live distance, pace, heart rate zones, elevation and calories on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. Your GPS route is saved to Apple Health, so the evidence is safe. TRAINING PLANS Couch to 5K all the way to Marathon, with week-by-week schedules, coach notes, tempo runs, intervals and long runs. Your couch will take it personally. STREAKS & ACHIEVEMENTS Streaks reward showing up, and they remember when you don't. Compare year over year, collect medals for records, step milestones and lifetime distance, and follow your Road to Marathon from 1K to 42.2K. SHARING Workout cards, weekly summaries, Year Wrapped visuals and medals, for when you want to brag. Never required. IPHONE DUO Unfold it and PaceBoard unfolds with you: dashboard, map, plans, shoes and medals get two-pane layouts that use both halves of the screen. Twice the screen, same number of excuses. KM OR MILES Pick one and it applies everywhere: app, widgets, Apple Watch. We don't take sides. PACEBOARD PLUS Free to use. Plus unlocks monthly widget timeframes, dynamic widget backgrounds, the unlimited discovery map, extra training plans, unlimited shoes, mid-workout shoe switching and Apple Watch complications. Subscribe monthly or yearly, or pay once with Lifetime: one payment, not a subscription, and no guilt-trip notifications. That's the streak's job.

The clearest difference is iOS requirement: KeepPace at 15.1 against PaceBoard's 27.0. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
