Meet Buddy, your friendly running coach. Otterpace turns daily movement into steady, guilt-free progress. Buddy reads your activity from Apple Health and gives simple, encouraging guidance every day. No pressure, no guilt, just a coach in your corner. - Daily step goal: a clean dashboard for steps, distance, and active minutes. Pick a preset or set any custom target. - Ask Buddy: quick, practical answers like "Run or rest today?" in a real coach's voice. - Smart run/rest tips: Buddy eases off when your training load spikes, and nudges you when you've been still too long. - Training for a race? Add it and Buddy makes coaching goal-aware: build early, taper near race day, and check in after. Import a race from a link or search by name. - Weekly review: what went well, and one focus for next week. - Activity history: your recent runs and walks, week by week. - Gentle reminders: optional nudges to move, on your schedule. Private by design: your Apple Health data stays on your device and is never uploaded. No account is required to use Otterpace. Sign in with Apple only if you want your goal and preferences to sync across devices. Otterpace is open source. Optional: connect your own AI key for richer, conversational coaching, or use the built-in coach offline. No key required. Otterpace offers general fitness guidance, not medical advice.
