For ME/CFS, POTS, Long Covid, FM & similar. Understand your energy with HRV, weather & how you feel. Apple Health to AI export.
PaceME helps you stay within your energy envelope – using objective health data from Apple Watch combined with your own assessment of how you feel each day.
Built for people living with ME/CFS, Long Covid, POTS or fibromyalgia – who know that sensors never tell the whole story.
WHAT THE APP DOES
- Shows HRV, resting HR, sleep and steps from Apple Health
- Calculates capacity level (1–5) based on your data
- A slider lets you adjust – your subjective feeling always overrides the sensors
- Notifies you when HRV is low (max once per day)
- Monitors barometric pressure and temperature – green/yellow/red PEM risk rating
- 3-day forecast adjusted for both HRV trend and weather
- Readiness Check: six barriers (HRV, sleep, intensity, energy, symptoms, PEM) → Go / Shorter version / Postpone
- Breathing Space: physiological sigh exercise to activate the vagus nerve
- Health → AI: export your health data as CSV for analysis in ChatGPT or Claude
- PDF health report (30 days) – ready to share with your doctor or specialist
- iCloud sync across devices
PHILOSOPHY
PaceME takes ME/CFS seriously as a biomedical condition. No cognitive behavioural interventions, no pushing through. Pacing based on physiology – with you at the centre.
PRIVACY

Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Version 1.5 is a major update introducing four new features alongside significant improvements to existing ones.
WEATHER SENSITIVITY TAB
A new tab (swipe left from Today) monitors barometric pressure and temperature in real-time using WeatherKit and the iPhone's built-in barometer. A 3-hour pressure drop rate gives a green, yellow or red PEM risk rating. A 7-day calendar grid shows upcoming risk days at a glance, and a 24-hour sparkline tracks pressure and temperature trends. The 3-day forecast now adjusts capacity recommendations based on weather risk.
BREATHING SPACE
A full-screen breathing exercise based on the physiological sigh (Balban et al., 2023). Double inhale, hold, long exhale — shown to activate the vagus nerve and support autonomic recovery. The app invites you to open Breathing Space when HRV is low, but it can also be opened manually at any time.
HEALTH → AI
Export a full year of Apple Health data as a structured CSV file, ready for analysis in ChatGPT or Claude. Includes HRV, resting heart rate, sleep staging, steps, oxygen saturation, respiratory rate, wrist temperature, AFib classification, gait metrics and more — alongside your daily capacity ratings from PaceME. Optional README and nine evidence-based analysis prompts can be included in the export.
NOTIFICATIONS
Automatic alerts when HRV is low (capped at one per day) and when a significant pressure drop is forecast overnight (capped at one per day). Notification thresholds follow your sensitivity settings.
READINESS CHECK IMPROVEMENTS
The Readiness Check now opens as a full-screen view with HRV and sleep barriers pre-filled from HealthKit. Layout and sizing have been improved for easier use on difficult days.
SETTINGS
Weather sensitivity thresholds (pressure and temperature) are now user-adjustable. Celsius and Fahrenheit supported. An info popup explains the clinical relevance of each threshold for ME/CFS and related conditions. Weather sensitivity can now be disabled entirely for users who are not weather sensitive.
ICLOUD SYNC
Daily logs, weather snapshots and breathing session records now sync automatically across devices via iCloud.
