MindfulPacer
Health & Fitness
Free · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS.
MindfulPacer helps you keep a close eye on your energy levels. The app analyzes steps and heart rate via Apple Health or live from your Apple Watch.
ACTIVITY PACING
Set personal biometric limits and get notifications on your Apple Watch or iPhone as soon as they’re exceeded. All events are automatically saved in a journal as “Reflections” and linked to activities, helping you spot patterns that drain your energy—and avoid them.
CUSTOMIZABLE
Set your own thresholds and choose appropriate time intervals. You can also tailor the type and intensity of notifications.
JOURNAL
Log threshold crossings, link them to activities, and add symptoms or comments. These Reflections help you see how your activities relate to your overall well-being.
ANALYTICS
Visualize your biometric data and Reflections over different time ranges to identify recurring patterns.
OUTREACH
Explore current research, pacing tips, and background knowledge on our blog. Connect with others about your activity pacing strategy.
PRIVACY
Your data belongs to you. All data you collect with MindfulPacer is stored only within the app on your device (not on any server). You can export it anytime in Settings—for your own records or to share with a healthcare professional.
Note: Biometric data (steps and heart rate) measured with Apple Watch may also be stored in Apple’s iCloud by default.
DISCLAIMER
MindfulPacer is not a medical product and does not provide medical services such as diagnosis, cure, mitigation, prevention, or treatment of any disease or medical condition. MindfulPacer is not a substitute for care from medical professionals. Always consult a physician before making medical decisions.
