PaceIQ is a spoken pace coach for outdoor running and walking. It talks to you while you move, on your Apple Watch or on your iPhone alone, so you stay on your target pace without looking at a screen. WHAT YOU GET • Real-time voice coaching: "speed up", "slow down", "back on track", split countdowns and encouragement, spoken in your language • Apple Watch or iPhone alone: no watch? Start a fully guided workout from your phone, with a Live Activity on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island • An adaptive pacer, not a graph: it follows your drift and speaks up only when it matters • Weather insight: the Calculator shows how heat, humidity and dew point affect a realistic pace for today • Effort ceiling: set a heart-rate limit and the coach keeps you under it, even if that means easing the pace target • IQ Plan: structured multi-segment workouts, or one-tap Auto Split templates: intervals, tempo, Yasso 800s, run/walk • Physiological Impact after every workout: heart-rate recovery and fluid loss • Running Style analysis from your Watch: stride length, ground contact, vertical oscillation and running power • Full workout history with pace-performance graphs, and Apple Health integration in both directions • Share your workout as a Story on your social networks BRING YOUR OWN AI COACH The AI Analyst copies an honest, complete briefing of your workout to the clipboard: recording source, heart-rate device, plan vs. actual for every segment, and what is missing.

SEEN is a coach, not a logger. He builds your program, texts you to check in, and notices when you go quiet. Miss a planned day and he reaches out with a real message. Not a badge you ignore. YOUR COACH Meet Coach. He learns your goal, your gym, and your days, then builds a weightlifting program around them. Chat with him in the app or over text. He remembers what you tell him. The longer you train together, the better he knows you. SAY YOUR SETS Log with your voice. Say 225 for 8 between sets and it lands in your log, parsed and saved. No typing with chalk on your hands. A REAL PROGRAM Progressive overload calculated every week. Deloads when your body needs them. Smart swaps that respect the movement when a rack is taken or something hurts. Never a random workout. A STREAK THAT IS FAIR Your streak counts planned days only. Rest days never break it. Show up when you said you would and watch it grow. THE CLUB Weekly leagues of thirty lifters. Workouts post automatically, real work only. No comments, one reaction. Top ten advance. Records get witnessed. THE JOURNEY Every set charted. Strength over time. Your full plan. What Coach remembers about you, in the open. PRICING SEEN is 14.99 USD per month or 69.99 USD per year after a 3 day free trial. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel in your App Store settings.
