Lifetime pricing, no recurring fees
Most running apps lock you into monthly or annual subscriptions. Pacing offers a one-time lifetime purchase alongside the usual monthly and annual plans. Pay once, own it forever — no renewals, no price hikes.
Why Pacing?
Pacing is an AI running coach app that builds a personalised training plan, then hands you full control to edit it. No smartwatch required. Works offline. Available in 15 languages with a one-time lifetime purchase option that ends recurring fees.
What makes Pacing different
Phone-only, no GPS watch required
Pacing uses your phone's GPS and optionally a Bluetooth heart-rate strap. No Apple Watch, Garmin, or COROS device needed. The phone stays in your pocket while voice cues guide every interval.
Works offline once a workout starts
After the AI voice is generated at workout start, GPS tracking and audio coaching run without internet for the entire session. Stay in airplane mode if you want — your run still tracks.
Available in 15 languages
Use Pacing in English, Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Hindi, Hebrew, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Polish, or Russian. The app picks up your device language automatically.
AI plans you can fully edit
The AI generates a plan based on your goal and fitness — then you keep the final say. Swap workouts, change paces, restructure weeks, add rest days. Your training, not an algorithm's.
Your data, on your device
Workouts stay on your phone by default. No required account. Optional end-to-end encrypted cloud backup if you want to restore on a new device.

Common questions
Is there a subscription fee?
We offer monthly and annual plans for flexibility, plus a one-time lifetime option - our recommended choice. With lifetime, there's no ongoing cost.
Our goal is simple: give you the best tool for structured running from anywhere using just your phone. Core features - workout creation, pacing, and running data - are included and won't be locked behind extra fees.
We update the app continuously while keeping it lightweight and free of bloat.
Do I need a GPS watch or heart rate monitor?
A dedicated GPS watch isn't necessary-your phone's built-in GPS is enough for pace tracking. Heart rate monitoring is completely optional. If you're into zone training, we recommend linking a Bluetooth chest or arm strap for accuracy. We don't currently support Apple Watch, but we've tested plenty of third-party HR straps. If you have questions or trouble, reach out at [email protected].
Does the app require internet?
You'll need internet at the start of a new workout so we can generate the AI voice for coaching cues. After that, it's saved on your device and you can go offline. GPS and Bluetooth still work in Airplane mode, so you can stay focused on your run - no extra data necessary.
Is the app available on Android?

Is Pacing available in multiple languages?
Yes! Pacing is available in 15 languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Hindi, Hebrew, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Polish, and Russian. The app automatically detects your device language and switches accordingly.
