Your companion for recovery after exertion
Exertion and recovery, finally visible.
mypacing shows your data from Apple Health or Health Connect – resting heart rate, sleep and how much your heartbeat varies (HRV) – together with your 20-second check-in in the daily picture and over time. Compared only with yourself.

How it works
Three steps to your daily picture.
No setup marathon, no spreadsheets. mypacing brings together what your devices already record – and adds what only you know.
-
Connect
Connect Apple Health or Health Connect. mypacing reads steps, sleep, resting heart rate and HRV – as long as your devices store these values there.
-
Check in
Four short questions, about 20 seconds: how you are overall, how your sleep felt, how much was on your mind and how long you rested.
-
Understand
Your daily picture and history show your values over time. Under Entries, you can search your own notes and filter by a tag you choose.
Features
Everything you need. Nothing that pushes.
mypacing describes rather than judges. Every view compares you only with yourself – never with a norm.
-
Daily picture
Three values at a glance.
Resting heart rate, HRV and sleep – each compared with your usual range over the last four weeks. Described in plain sentences, without colour codes.
-
Check-in
20 seconds for what only you know.
How you feel, how you slept, mental load and rest time – four short questions, once a day.
-
History
Your usual range as a band in the chart.
Weeks and months at a glance. Deviations are called “above” or “below” – never “bad”.
-
Rest moment
Two minutes of paced breathing.
An optional breathing pace with a still display when reduced motion is enabled. Plus a break rhythm with times you choose and optional notifications.
-
Your entries
Notes and tags, easy to find again.
Search your own entries and choose a tag yourself to view matching days.
-
Day plan
Energy points, your budget.
You assign points to your plans and set your daily budget yourself. mypacing just does the maths and shows it.
-
Break rhythm
Active time and breaks, in turns.
An interval timer with optional reminders. You choose the times and rounds. The illustrated split is an example, not a recommendation.
-
Trends
Weeks, months, a whole year.
Exertion, recovery and how you felt side by side – for looking back and planning the days ahead.

Who it’s for
For everyone who plans their days with intention.
Full days come in many shapes. mypacing shows exertion and recovery side by side – wherever they come from.
-
Work & calendar
Meetings, deadlines, commuting. Record busy workdays and free evenings with your own notes and tags, and spread your week with your own energy budget.
-
Family
Between childcare, work and housework, there is little time left for you. The check-in takes 20 seconds, the daily picture a single glance.
-
Shift & care work
Changing shifts, changing sleep. Your history shows sleep, resting heart rate and HRV over weeks – measured against your own rhythm.
-
University & exams
Learning stretches, exam weeks, a side job. With mental load in your check-in and a break rhythm for long days of learning.
-
Sport & regeneration
Training is exertion, and regeneration is part of it. See resting heart rate, HRV and sleep after intense days next to your usual range.
-
Back to everyday life
After a demanding phase – parental leave, a move, an intense project – keep an eye on how your days settle. With a plan you set yourself.

Intended purpose
The following functions support personal record-keeping, review and organisation, and information about and use of the service.
Demo without an account
Purpose: Explore the interface before creating personal records.
The browser demo shows made-up values and entries. It does not read personal health data.
Apple Health, Health Connect and data sync
Purpose: Make existing personal device values accessible in a shared daily and history view.
The iPhone or Android app reads permitted data types from Apple Health or Health Connect and syncs daily values with the account. The web app displays synced account data; it does not directly read the phone's health interfaces. Permissions and available source records determine coverage.
View already loaded entries offline
Purpose: Access your own records already loaded on this device without a current internet connection.
The journal browser keeps already loaded days available offline. Loading additional content and syncing with the server require a connection. Locally available records are not proof that a change has already reached the server.
Individual and additional daily values
Purpose: Look up personal activity, sleep and cardiovascular records by date.
Alongside steps, resting heart rate, HRV and sleep, available values can include distance, active energy, floors, minimum and maximum heart rate, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation and sleep stages. Views show units, available days and supplied sources. Unavailable values remain empty.
Daily picture and personal comparison range
Purpose: View current daily values in relation to your own recorded history.
Resting heart rate, HRV and sleep are compared with a range calculated from your earlier daily values and shown as higher, lower or usual. The reference uses up to 28 preceding days and at least seven available values per data type. The steps display also refers to the previous day. This is a personal statistical reference, not a clinical reference interval or evidence of exercise capacity.
Daily check-in
Purpose: Record your experience of a day as a personal self-report.
The check-in records your chosen feeling and optional answers about perceived sleep, mental demands and daytime rest. Selected categories are stored by date and displayed over time. Subjective answers are not presented as device measurements.
Log and reuse activities
Purpose: Document personal activities and self-rated exertion and recovery.
Choose an activity or your own name, answer the rating scales and optionally enter a duration. An existing activity can be selected as a starting point for another entry. These are personal records; the app does not thereby measure energy expenditure or actual recovery.
Daily notes and tags
Purpose: Record context and events in your own words for later personal review.
Notes and chosen tags are associated with a day. Tags also support deliberately finding your own records again; their use does not produce a cause-and-effect statement.
Entry calendar and list
Purpose: Find existing personal feeling entries, notes and tags by date.
Switch between a calendar and a list. Selecting a day opens its stored records; a tag filter and note search narrow the selection. The view uses days loaded on the device.
Journal browser and filtered entry file
Purpose: Review personal records selectively and reuse a chosen selection outside the app.
The journal browser offers selection by period, tag and search text, together with loading more entries. Its CSV export contains matching personal records, not imported device values.
Print personal entries
Purpose: Provide a readable collection of selected personal records for printing or sharing.
The print view uses the filtered selection. The browser opens a print window; the native app can share an HTML print file with a chosen app. The receiving app or print dialog determines the subsequent output.
Day plan and energy points
Purpose: Organise personal tasks, breaks and a self-chosen points budget in everyday life.
You choose tasks, points, time-of-day groups and the budget, then mark tasks as done. The app totals planned and completed points and shows their difference from your chosen budget. Energy points are a personal planning unit, not a measured physical energy reserve or an automatically determined exertion limit.
Order, split and move planned tasks
Purpose: Adapt a personal plan when intentions change.
Tasks can be edited, reordered within their time-of-day group, split into entries and moved to another day. Breaks can deliberately be added before or after a task. You choose the changes and timing.
Plan templates and previous-day carryover
Purpose: Reuse recurring day plans you designed yourself.
Day plans can be saved as named templates and used again. Open tasks from the previous day can deliberately be carried over. Templates contain your own plans; the app does not select a suitable day plan from health values.
Weekly plan view
Purpose: Review personal planned tasks and breaks across several days.
The overview assigns existing plans to their respective days and shows associated points and completion marks. It supports personal organisation and review of recorded intentions.
Export a day plan to a calendar
Purpose: Make a personal day plan available in a calendar app.
The export creates an ICS file containing the selected plan as an all-day event. The calendar app imports it after your choice; this is not ongoing calendar synchronisation.
History, charts and period summaries
Purpose: Review available personal daily values and self-reports over a chosen period.
Lines, bars and quarterly summaries display available values and calculated averages. Sources, measurement methods and coverage help explain the display. It does not explain why a change occurred.
Compare two periods
Purpose: Compare two self-selected periods of your own records.
Both periods show available daily values, averages, coverage and, where applicable, differences. Device or method changes can limit comparability. Differences do not establish an effect of an activity or treatment.
Activity history
Purpose: Review logged activities and your own ratings across days.
The history view groups existing activity entries by time period or activity and shows recorded ratings. A frequent activity or an average is not a recommendation to do it more or less often.
CSV overview and PDF print view
Purpose: Reuse existing entries and imported values in a readable collection you assemble yourself.
Choose a period and sections such as check-ins, notes, activities, plans and measurements with sources. The export uses loaded days. CSV is provided as a file; the PDF overview opens a print view or shares an HTML print file. A PDF is created through a suitable print dialog or receiving app.
Download account data as JSON
Purpose: Obtain the personal data supplied by the account in a structured format.
The account export provides a JSON file containing the account data and records covered by that export. It supports personal archiving and technical reuse; it does not issue a medical finding.
Rest moment with a breathing pace
Purpose: Provide a self-started pace for optionally breathing along.
Choose an available pace and duration. The display alternates between inhaling and exhaling and can be paused or stopped. It does not measure breathing or its effects or configure treatment.
Save mindful time to the health app
Purpose: Record a deliberately completed timer period in the connected health app when you choose.
After a rest moment, your selection can send a mindfulness time entry through the supported health interface. A time entry records the session and is not evidence of measured relaxation. Availability and write permission depend on the device and health interface.
Break rhythm interval timer
Purpose: Structure self-chosen active and break periods in everyday life.
Set durations and rounds, then start alternating active and break phases. The session can be paused, resumed, skipped or stopped. Notifications and vibration depend on selected options and system permissions. Settings are not recommendations calculated from health values.
Check-in and personal reminders
Purpose: Remind you of chosen entries or intentions at times you select.
The native apps support a daily check-in reminder and personal texts with a time and weekdays. Personal reminders can also be managed in the browser; notification delivery is scheduled on the supported phone. It does not react to medical thresholds.
Customise the home view
Purpose: Adapt access to existing views to your own preferences.
Choose which available cards appear on the home view and their order. This changes the display layout, not the meaning of stored values.
Language, colour scheme and calm view
Purpose: Adapt readability and operation to personal display preferences.
The app offers German and English, light and dark appearance and a calm view with less motion and fewer cards. These settings change the interface and are not a therapeutic adjustment.
Read displayed content aloud
Purpose: Make already visible information accessible through speech as well.
The available read-aloud action uses supported device speech output for selected display text and can be stopped. It supplements visual use; it does not create separate advice or analysis.
Account, sign-in and device management
Purpose: Associate personal records with your account and manage access to it.
Registration, email confirmation, sign-in, password recovery and supported Apple or Google sign-in provide account access. Profile details can be edited and signed-in devices can be signed out. Synced records can be viewed with the same account on supported devices.
Manage consent and delete an account
Purpose: Exercise the available choices about personal data use and account management.
Account functions let you review and withdraw available consents and initiate account deletion. The applicable privacy information explains scope and consequences. These controls do not determine the medical meaning of records.
Choose newsletter updates
Purpose: Receive news about the service by email when you choose.
The newsletter setting supports subscribing to and unsubscribing from product news. It does not provide action recommendations tailored to personal health values.
Guides, FAQ and service information
Purpose: Read general explanations about everyday planning, breaks, displayed data and using the service.
The website provides editorial guides, frequently asked questions, information about mypacing and links to the web app and app stores. These are general reading materials; reading them does not analyse personal account data or generate an individual diagnosis.
Help page and contact
Purpose: Request assistance with technical setup and use.
The help page explains sign-in, health connections, export and account deletion and provides an email contact. Contact supports a request handled by people about the service; it is not an emergency or remote-monitoring function.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
Anything else? You’ll find more on our help page.
Is mypacing a medical device?
No. mypacing is not a medical device. The app shows your own values and notes over time. It does not make diagnoses, give treatment recommendations or replace medical advice. mypacing is a digital companion for everyday life – for personal reflection and day planning – and not a medical device within the meaning of Regulation (EU) 2017/745; the app does not monitor your health status or forecast any course. In an emergency, call 112.
The day form compares your values only with your own previous history. It does not assess whether a value is healthy or unusual. You set the pulse mark yourself; the app only shows how long your heart rate was above it. The camera pulse is an estimate and not an ECG.
Which devices work?
Anything that passes values to Apple Health (iPhone) or Health Connect (Android) – for example Apple Watch, Garmin, Fitbit, Samsung, Oura or Withings, as long as they pass values to Apple Health or Health Connect. Which values arrive depends on the device and its app.
Do I need an account?
Not for the demo: it shows mypacing with made-up values, right in your browser and without signing up. For your own values and check-ins you need an account.
What happens to my data?
Your data is stored encrypted and processed for your insights. There are no ads and no sharing with third parties; the app has no third-party tracking. Because heart rate and sleep are health data, we ask for your explicit consent first (Art. 9 GDPR). All details are in the privacy policy.
Can I download and delete my data?
Yes, any time, right in the app: you can download your data (Art. 20 GDPR) and delete your account together with all data (Art. 17 GDPR). You can also withdraw your consent there.
Is there a web version?
Use your own values, check-ins and day plan exclusively in the iPhone or Android app. In the browser you can try the live demo with made-up values, without signing in.
