For people who want to move again

Exercise
without the anxiety.

Your heart races. You feel breathless. Something tells you to stop. SteadyPace helps you stay — gently, at your pace, with a plan that adapts to you.

From early users

"This is the first time a fitness app didn't make me feel behind. It met me exactly where I was."

Built for people who feel overwhelmed by traditional fitness pressure, with calm pacing and no guilt.

The problem

Fitness apps assume the hard part is fitness.

They track pace. They push you harder. They don't know that for some people, the hardest part isn't the workout — it's what their body does during it. The racing heart. The breathlessness. The feeling that something is wrong.

"I used to run marathons. Then I had my first panic attack during a run. I haven't run since. That was three years ago."

The approach

Graded exposure — the same principle therapists use.

Tiny, controlled increases in exertion. Walk 5 minutes. Jog 15 seconds. Walk 3 minutes. Repeat. Your body learns — through experience, not logic — that the sensation is temporary and safe.

"I just want to go at all. Every other app wants me to go faster."

How it works

Four steps to feeling safe
in your own body again.

01

A conversation, not a test

Tell us what triggers your anxiety, how long you've been avoiding, and what you want to get back to. No fitness stats.

02

A plan built for you

AI generates sessions with tiny intervals. Your first jog might be 15 seconds. The plan adapts every week based on how you feel.

03

A calm voice walks with you

Voice narration tells you what to do. Phone stays in your pocket. If anxiety rises, one tap brings guided recovery.

04

Your comfort grows

Watch what used to be a 7/10 become a 3. Track recovery speed, consistency, and milestones — not miles or calories.

Designed for anxiety,
not fitness.

"I feel it starting"

When anxiety rises mid-session, one tap shifts to guided recovery. Breathing cues, haptic feedback, reassurance — without stopping.

AI-adaptive plans

Plans evolve week by week based on your anxiety levels and recovery. Never too much, never too fast.

Voice-guided sessions

A calm voice walks you through every step. Lock your phone and go — haptic alerts signal step changes.

No guilt, no streaks

Bad day? Tap "Not today." Get a breathing exercise or a gentle walk. No broken streaks. Skipping is part of the process.

Comfort tracking

Progress measured by decreasing anxiety and faster recovery — not pace or calories. Your body is learning.

Pace — your companion

A friendly cloud mascot that walks with you, celebrates your wins, and never pushes too hard.

Questions

Is this therapy? +
No. SteadyPace is a wellness tool — not a medical device, therapeutic intervention, or substitute for professional treatment. It uses principles inspired by graded exposure but is not a clinical implementation. Always consult a healthcare provider if you have a diagnosed condition.
What if I panic during a session? +
Tap "I feel it starting." The app shifts to guided recovery with breathing cues, haptic feedback, and reassurance. It encourages you to slow down — not stop — helping your body learn the sensation passes.
How is this different from Couch to 5K? +
C25K assumes your challenge is fitness. SteadyPace assumes your challenge is anxiety. Plans adapt based on anxiety levels, not running speed. Success is measured by decreasing discomfort, not distance.
Do I need to be a runner? +
No. SteadyPace supports running, gym workouts, hiking, and general exercise. You tell us what you want to get back to and we build around that.
Can I cancel anytime? +
Yes. Cancel through your Apple ID settings. No questions, no guilt, no dark patterns.
