Frequently Asked Questions

How do I set up AI coaching?

Go to the setup screen and tap the AI section. Enter your Anthropic or OpenAI API key. PaceKit stores it securely in the iOS Keychain and sends race data directly to the provider using your key. We never see or store your key on our servers.

Does PaceKit work without an AI key?

Yes. GPS tracking, pace, distance, splits, heart rate monitoring, live tracking for spectators, and music integration all work without an API key. The AI coaching voice is the only feature that requires one.

How does live tracking work?

Before your race, PaceKit generates a shareable link. Anyone with the link can see your real-time GPS position, pace, heart rate, and mile splits on a map. They can also send cheers and messages that get read aloud through your AirPods.

What data does PaceKit collect?

None. PaceKit has no servers, no accounts, no analytics, and no tracking. Everything stays on your device. See our Privacy Policy for full details.

Does it work with my music?

Yes. PaceKit works alongside Spotify, Apple Music, or any audio app. When the AI coach speaks, your music ducks automatically and fades back in when it's done.

Do I need an Apple Watch?

An Apple Watch is recommended for live heart rate monitoring, but not required. Without it, PaceKit still provides GPS tracking, pace, splits, AI coaching, and all other features.

Can I use PaceKit for a half marathon?

Yes. PaceKit supports both half and full marathon distances. Select your race distance on the setup screen before starting.

How do I reset or delete my data?

Since PaceKit stores everything on-device only, deleting the app removes all data including API keys, preferences, and any cached race information. There is nothing stored on external servers to delete.
