> Everything you need to write about Steady Pace: what it is, why it's different, a fact sheet, screenshots, and boilerplate. A private, offline, buy-once running app for iPhone.

Everything you need to write about Steady Pace, in one place. For screenshots, a promo code, or a quick answer, email support@steadypace.ca.

## Boilerplate

Steady Pace is a private, offline running app for iPhone. A continuous tone rises when you slow and falls when you speed up, so you keep an even pace without watching a screen. It makes zero network connections, has no account, no ads, no subscription, and anonymizes GPS on the device. One purchase, every feature included.

## Why it's different

- **Run by ear.** Audio pacing instead of looking at a screen. The tone rises when you slow and falls when you speed up.

- **Truly private.** Zero network connections, GPS anonymized on-device, no account, nothing uploaded.

- **Pay once.** One-time purchase, every feature, no subscription, no ads.

## The hook

Running apps have become $120-a-year subscriptions that harvest location data. In 2018 a fitness heatmap exposed the outlines of military bases from users' runs. Steady Pace takes a different approach: buy once, private, offline, with no network connections.

## Screenshots

Higher-resolution images and a logo are available on request:

## Also includes

A cadence metronome, spoken split announcements, GPS-plus-barometer distance and elevation
with Kalman-filtered accuracy, and automatic crash recovery that resumes a run where it left off
if the app is killed mid-run.

## What it does not do (on purpose)

No heart rate, no training plans, no coached or guided audio workouts, no social feed, and no maps. Steady Pace is a focused pacing tool for running by ear.
