Pace

Pace is the calm, private way to drink a little less. Most drink trackers want a subscription, an account, and your data in their cloud. Pace wants none of that. Your log lives only on your iPhone, encrypted at rest, and never leaves the device — no coach, no feed, no judgement. Just a quiet tool that helps you notice your own patterns. WHAT PACE DOES • Log a drink in two taps — standard drinks, time, context and mood • Set a weekly limit and a dry-days goal • Watch your dry streak grow and unlock milestones as you go • See gentle weekly & monthly trends, plus the money and calories you didn't spend* PRIVATE BY DESIGN • 100% on-device — no account, no cloud, no analytics, no network access at all • Encrypted at rest, with an optional Face ID lock • Optionally sync to Apple Health — on your device, on your terms • Export your own data anytime ONE PRICE, YOURS FOREVER Unlock everything with a single purchase. No subscription, ever. Every future update included. * Insights, trends, the money & calories you saved, and CSV export are part oase. Logging, goals, streaks and milestones are always free. Pace is a private tracking tool, not medical advice. If you're worried about a doctor.
