Read our story
It started with our everyday life
mypacing was not created in an office. It grew at our kitchen table. A few years ago my everyday life changed. Many things that used to be easy now take much more energy, and I have to plan my days carefully.
My husband Siegfried has been at my side the whole time. Together we built what I describe on this page.
I now work a few hours a week again. Planning my energy is still part of every day.
I needed a simple way to record what was on my mind, how my day went and when I rested, even on days when thinking itself takes effort.
So my husband Siegfried and I started building mypacing at our kitchen table. I contributed my experience and needs, Siegfried took care of the technical side. What began as our personal need became a joint project that we wanted to make available to others.
mypacing shows values you share from Apple Health or Health Connect together with your own entries in a clear overview. A short check-in, your personal history and a daily plan you set yourself give room for looking back and for planning your day.
The app does not make diagnoses and does not determine how much effort someone can safely handle. A value within your usual range is not a health clearance. Our personal story explains why we developed mypacing. It is not a promise of any effect.
I want people whose limits cannot be seen from the outside to be taken seriously. Family and friends should be able to understand why a conversation or a short walk can take much more energy than it seems from the outside. That is why I share my story here.
You do not have to justify a difficult day. A diary does not have to become a new performance target. We wish for an everyday life with room for your own perception.
Sarah with my husband Siegfried at my side
Two perspectives. One joint project.
Experience & exchange
I am Sarah, Siegfried’s wife and the public face of mypacing. My own experience shapes how we talk about everyday life with limited energy. It also shapes what we ask of the app: how much concentration an entry takes, whether a text is easy to understand and whether it still works on a difficult day.
Development & technology
Siegfried is my husband and mainly takes care of development and technology. He has supported me throughout and put our shared ideas into practice. We decide together how our project develops. mypacing would not exist without both of us.
In plain words
Sarah and Siegfried Gaier from Bochum develop and maintain mypacing together. The provider is SIGAtech Softwareentwicklung, owner Siegfried Gaier. Full details are in the legal notice.
mypacing is free of charge, without ads and without in-app purchases. So far we cover the costs ourselves and invest our own time. We are looking into further options for running it in the long term.
Health data is processed on the basis of your explicit consent. This includes the pseudonymised joint analysis mypacingLAB described in the consent text. Details are in the privacy policy and the consent text.
mypacing is for personal reflection and daily planning. 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.
