FAQ

PaceLens stays small on purpose. The questions below cover what the app reads, what it does not try to be, and why privacy is described in plain language.

What does PaceLens read from Apple Health?

PaceLens reads running workouts and the related running data it needs to calculate metrics such as pace, heart rate, distance, and VO₂max. It does not ask for broad write access just to function.

Does PaceLens need an account?

No. There is no account layer in this website or in the product description for the app. The point is to keep access direct and local.

Can I look at specific time windows?

Yes. PaceLens is built around understandable date filters, including all-time views, recent windows, and indoor or outdoor scope changes.

Why mention CSV export so clearly?

Because data portability should be normal. PaceLens can export the current filtered scope as CSV so your own history does not become trapped behind a UI.

Does the app try to be a coaching platform?

No. The product stays intentionally narrow: readable running analytics, privacy-aware handling, and honest export.

Who is PaceLens for?

It is for runners who care about seeing their own training clearly and who do not want another product built around feeds, social pressure, or hidden complexity.
