What's new
Release notes for PaceWise.
Version 4.7iOS
24 October 2026
Your race medals now live in PaceWise, and the app is ready for iPhone Duo.
- Add a medal to your race: it sits beside your result, and the Medals grid on Races shows every one.
- iPhone Duo support: Home lays out around the side controls.
- Streak history: your longest run streaks, a tap away from the calendar.
Version 4.6iOS
12 October 2026
A race you run every year now carries its details to the next one, and your run streak counts the way you train.
- Run a race again: Run again on a finished race adds the next running with the name, distance, location and start time filled in and the date moved on. A race you repeat keeps its years together on one page, course best first, and you can log an earlier year's result there too.
- A run streak your way: count days or weeks, and set a minimum distance for each if you want one. The streak has its own page, a Home Screen widget and an optional Home card.
- Share a result to your Story: Share result on a finished race makes a transparent sticker of your time. Copy it and paste it over a photo, or save it to Photos.
- Marathon checkpoints: turn on Checkpoints in a half or full marathon's splits to see your time at every 5 km or 3 miles, halfway and the finish, the points a pace band prints.
Version 4.5iOS
25 September 2026
Siri answers a race question without you opening the app, and adding a race can start with a sentence.
- iCloud sync: races, results, distances, your profile and your fuel plans stay the same on your iPhone and iPad. Sync details in Profile shows what synced and when, and can remove your data from iCloud. New installs start with it on; after the update, turn it on from What's new or Profile.
- Siri and Shortcuts: ask for a pace, a finish time, your next race or a personal best, and the answer comes back as a card. Each solver is a Shortcut you can fill in and build on.
- Describe a race in one line: type or dictate it the way you would say it, and Apple Intelligence fills in the form for you to check before you save. On iPhone and iPad that support it; experimental, and the form is still there when you want it.
- parkrun barcode, one press away: add it to Control Centre or the Action button and it opens straight to your barcode at the finish funnel.
- Race locations from a map search: search for the venue as you type and pick it from the results. The calendar event carries the pin, so Calendar can map it and time your leave.
- Carb loading, tracked: log each day's carbs against its target, or let today's total come from Apple Health if you already log food elsewhere. The tally shows on the race row and on Home in race week.
Version 4.4iOS
14 September 2026
A fuel plan for race day, and a calculator that remembers where you were.
- Race fuel: from your goal time, a serve-by-serve schedule of when to take each gel and how many to carry, sized to what your gut can absorb. Tap the serves you want caffeinated; which ones is your call.
- Calculate picks up where you left off: the mode and both inputs come back.
- Delete a race from inside the race, not only by swiping the list.
Version 4.3iOS
4 September 2026
Race day and Apple Health finally agree, and a finished race is easier to read.
- Race results from Apple Health: import a run recorded on race day at the race's distance and it logs itself as that race's result, so you no longer end up with a personal best on one screen and a race still asking how it went on another. If it wasn't that race, one tap unlinks it and keeps the time in your bests.
- Finished races, tidied: each target now sits beside how you went against it, editing the result lives with the result, and the plan-ahead sections stop offering to plan a morning that's already gone.
Version 4.2iOS
29 August 2026
PaceWise on iPad, built the way an iPad app should be.
- A proper iPad sidebar: every section and tool listed down one side instead of squeezed into a bar along the bottom, and you can drag them into whatever order suits you.
- parkrun barcode: tap your athlete ID to copy it.
Version 4.1iOS
10 August 2026
Your parkrun barcode on your phone, a faster way into every tool, and a clearer picture once you've finished.
- parkrun barcode: yours and your crew's, in the app or in Apple Wallet, ready to scan without hunting for a printout.
- Home Screen search: type the name of any tool and go straight to it.
- Race results: log how a race went, with a new personal best leading the result.
- Privacy-focused usage tracking: anonymous counts of which features get used, so what gets built next follows what people actually use. Off any time in your profile.
Version 4.0iOS
8 July 2026
A new Home tab greets you every time you open the app, plus a clearer look at your training trends and more room to make PaceWise your own.
- A new Home tab: counts down to your next goal race and shows this week's distance and your own quick shortcuts, all in one place.
- Trends: see your weekly distance trend over time, your longest run each week, and a plain-language heads-up when a run jumps further than your recent training has you ready for.
- New tools: a metronome to run to a steady beat (it plays over your music and keeps going with the screen locked), plus a quick converter between miles and kilometres.
- More room to make it yours: rearrange tabs and Home cards (anything you tuck away is one tap from a new More tab), round out your profile with a name and photo, and back up your data to a file any time.
Version 3.2iOS
30 June 2026
Your goals are now Races: a proper home for race day, with a countdown on your home screen.
- Races: every race you're training for has its own place now. Set one or more target times, see how ready you are against your personal bests, follow a pacing plan, and add race day to your calendar with a countdown. Afterwards, log how it went, and save a new personal best if you earned one.
- Race-day widget: a home-screen widget counts down to your next race and shows its target time, the pace you'll need, and how your form is tracking.
- Your distances, your way: choose which distances show on the calculator: reorder them, hide the ones you never use, or add your own.
- A tidier result: show or hide the personal-best and race comparison cards beside your result, so Calculate stays as simple as you like.
Version 3.1iOS
24 June 2026
A fresh look, an easier way to enter your numbers, and a proper home on iPad.
- A fresh look: PaceWise is brighter and cleaner throughout.
- Spin to enter: instead of typing the digits, spin a dial to land on the time or pace you want.
- At home on iPad: a full-screen layout that works whichever way you're holding it.
- Smarter goals: race-day readiness now weighs all of your personal bests instead of just one, the countdown shows the time left in clear days, hours and minutes, and a quick tap explains how it's worked out.
- Equivalent times, the PaceWise way: see PaceWise's own equivalent times alongside Riegel, Cameron and VDOT.
- Pace bands in splits: splits now include 5K and 10K pace bands (or miles).
- Tidier Settings: your units, profile and support links are easy to find.
Version 3.0iOS
13 June 2026
PaceWise beyond a single run: see where your form stands across distances and years, and plan race day in more detail.
- Personal-best history: keep dated results for each distance and watch your progression on a chart. The fastest is always surfaced as your PB.
- Import from Health: pull your fastest 5K, 10K, half, and marathon straight from Apple Health and save them as personal bests. Read-only, only when you tap Import, and all on your device.
- Equivalent times: compare a personal best across distances three ways: Riegel, Cameron, and VDOT. Three models instead of one, so you can see where they agree and where they don't.
- Age-graded bests: WMA age grading scores your personal bests against the world standard for your age and sex, so a 5K at 45 stands next to a 5K at 25.
- Race goals: save more than one target for a race, see how achievable each looks against your bests, shape a pacing plan from positive to negative split, and add race day to your calendar, with a countdown.
- Pace bands: share a pace band as an image or a print-ready PDF.
- Treadmill & track: convert between treadmill speed and running pace, with track presets and per-lap splits down below the mile.
- Settings & onboarding: set your units and athlete profile up front, read a plain privacy statement, copy any result with a long-press, and get a first-run tip to find your way around.
Version 1.0iOS
9 June 2026
The first release: a fast, focused running pace calculator.
- Solve for the third: tap Time, Distance, or Pace and the rest follows, updating as you type.
- Preset distances: 1 mile, 5K, 10K, Half, Marathon, or any custom distance.
- Splits: cumulative time at every kilometre or mile, including the exact finish.
- Personal bests: store a PB per distance and see how a goal time compares.
- Goals. Turn a goal time into a plan: the required pace, the splits to run it (even or a negative split that finishes faster), and a readiness read from your personal bests.
- Kilometres or miles: switch any time; everything converts.
- Calm and private: Dynamic Type, VoiceOver, light and dark mode. No account, no network, no tracking.
