Distance you can trust
Smoothed GPS, updated every second, with the jitter filtered out rather than added to your total.

Android · offline · no account
Every step measured.
None of it uploaded.
Pacekeeper tracks your walks and runs, works with no signal at all, and keeps the whole record on your phone. There is no account, because there is nowhere to log in to.
Tracking, history, splits, elevation, export and the voice at every mile are free forever.

What it does
The things a tracker has to get right
And a few that the others put behind a subscription.
02
Screen off, pocket deep
Keeps counting with the phone locked, and pauses itself when you stop at a crossing.
03
Spoken splits
Your time and pace at every mile or kilometre, ducking your music rather than stopping it.
04
Elevation that behaves
Climb banked only when the height really turns, so a flat loop reports flat instead of inventing a hill.
05
Interval workouts
Eight by 400 metres, spoken step by step and counted down into each one. A pause at a crossing does not eat your interval.
06
Records worth having
Weekly totals, and your fastest mile, 5K and further, taken from the best stretch inside any session.
07
Your data, portable
Export any session as GPX for Strava, Garmin Connect or Komoot. It is your run, so take it with you.
08
One phone, several people
Profiles for the household, each with its own history, all covered by the single payment.

Privacy
Built to leave you alone
Your sessions, routes and settings live in the app on your phone. Uninstalling takes them with it, because there is no copy anywhere else.
- No analytics, no advertising, no crash reporting, no trackers of any kind.
- Two things reach the internet, and only when you ask: map images when you open a route, and the weather when you switch it on.
- The weather lookup sends a position rounded to about a kilometre, and nothing else.
- Works with no signal. A run in a valley is measured exactly like one in town.
