Introducing Simple Pacer!

Today I just launched a new app called Simple Pacer!

As a runner I've never been truly happy with how websites or other apps handle these tedious and repetitive run calculations. They always left a lot to be desired when it comes to their flexibility and speed. Also, all of the website pace calculators require internet access which you can't always rely on when you're in the middle of a trail ultramarathon.

This app was also an awesome learning experience for me to continue learning about programming, creating a design system around themes (more on this later!), building a custom keyboard, working with different language localizations, handling IAPs and figuring out a good way to interact with pace/distance/time values.

The app icon and badge were both done by my incredibly talented wife @Valerie Jar (they're both clearly the coolest parts of the app)!

Simple Pacer is free and available on the iOS App Store!
