What's new
Every change you'd notice in the app, newest first.
Sign-in codes, quieter email and a faster API
- SecuritySigning in with a password now asks for a 6-digit code from your email. Tick "Trust this device for 30 days" to skip it on your own devices; an authenticator app or a passkey replaces it.
- SecurityAny account can make recovery codes now, with or without an authenticator app. Each works once, in place of any sign-in code. Settings, then Security.
- EmailMilestone emails for long streaks, records and every fifth level, which you can turn off. A habit's name never appears in an email subject or a push title. Still no newsletters and no marketing email.
- AppThe API moved to Cloudflare's network, so most screens load noticeably faster.
- Your dataPaceStreak is open source again: the API, the app and the websites are public on GitHub under AGPL-3.0.
- Your dataA full copy of the database is now taken off-site every night, on top of the restore history.
Faster everywhere, and an undo for everything
- AppA command palette: Ctrl or ⌘ K to jump anywhere, tick a habit or search. G-then-a-letter shortcuts, and ? lists them.
- AppSearch everything you've logged, and a one-day view of training, habits, food and mood on any date.
- DataUndo after every delete, and a 30-day trash that restores habits, sessions, meals, recipes and journal entries with their history.
- HabitsSwipe to complete, long-press for the amount, and select several days on the calendar to fill them in at once.
- HabitsReminders with Done and Snooze buttons, snooze from the habit page, or one evening summary instead of a reminder each.
- AppLog the last session again, or copy yesterday's food, in one tap.
- AppShare a photo into the app to scan a barcode or save a progress photo; new home-screen shortcuts; pull to refresh; a habits-left icon badge.
- AppLarger text, compact layout and high contrast, and screens that remember their last tab.
- DataAn opt-in monthly email with your export attached.
- AppFixed: reloading any page, or opening a shared link, took you back to Today.
- HabitsPlan a habit for chosen weekdays, and pause one habit on its own.
- TrainingImport your history from Strong, Hevy or FitNotes; filter plans by goal and gym; a whole-plan calendar; rest remembered per exercise.
- AppSelect sessions to tag, move or delete together, with Undo; quiet days with no reminders; the backup email can come weekly.
- TrainingThe exercise library grows to 283, with every common variation of each movement, and 22 built-in plans: five by five, push/pull/legs, upper/lower, dumbbells at home, bodyweight, kettlebell, lift-and-run, cycling, swimming, rowing, walking, mobility and more.
- TrainingSix new cable exercises: V-handle, neutral-grip and wide neutral-grip pulldowns and seated rows, each with a cue for which part of the back it biases.
- TrainingLoad the bar: pick your bar (remembered per exercise, so the EZ bar stays the EZ bar), tap the plates on one side, and the total goes straight into your next set.
- TogetherReact to a post with one of five presets instead of plain kudos: kudos, on fire, strong, star or love it. Nothing typed, so nothing to moderate.
- TogetherCoaches get one Coaching screen for everyone who shares their training with them, across all their groups, with anyone who needs a nudge at the top. No share, no row; habits never appear.
- AppThe app now offers to install itself at three moments: your first visit, your first visit on a later day and after your first logged session, once each. Settings > App still installs it any time.
- AppFixed: signing out, or someone else signing in on your device, could lose a session that hadn't synced yet. Unsent changes are now kept for you and come back when you sign in.
- AppFixed: reloading the page at the wrong moment could sign you out on every device.
- HabitsFixed: the home-screen badge counted habits that were paused or not planned for today.
- Your dataClearer privacy policy and terms: who runs PaceStreak, the legal basis for each kind of data, that data is stored in the US, and a correction: backups are a 6-hour restore history. You'll be asked to accept them once.
Food, insights, a journal and habit routines
- FoodLog meals with calories and macros against optional daily targets; save foods and recipes; copy yesterday's meal in one tap.
- FoodScan a barcode from a photo and fill in the numbers from Open Food Facts. Only the barcode is sent, never who scanned it.
- FoodAn energy-burn estimate from your own food log and weigh-in trend, with a gentle suggested target toward your weight goal.
- InsightsPatterns in your own data, like how sleep relates to the habits you keep, shown only when they pass a statistical test.
- TodayA daily coach note about yesterday's food, and a one-tap mood check.
- JournalDaily mood and a note, a year-in-pixels grid, and search.
- HabitsRoutines you step through in order, a focus timer for minutes habits, and import from Loop Habit Tracker or a CSV.
No more dead ends in sign-up and sign-in
- AccountVerifying your email now takes you straight into the app instead of leaving you on a confirmation screen.
- AccountSigning in with an unverified address now takes you to enter the code, instead of a resend button with nowhere to type it.
- AccountA signup that partially succeeds no longer shows a confusing "already registered" error - it sends you on to verify instead.
- AccountEvery password field has a show/hide toggle.
Verification and password reset by code, not link
- AccountConfirming your email, resetting your password and changing your address now use a 6-digit code you type in, not a link you click.
- AccountWorks everywhere a link didn't: read the code on your phone, enter it on your laptop.
A new look: the wall calendar
- DesignThe whole app, this site and the blog take the structure of a wall calendar, kept on the near-black and lime look rather than the paper-and-red version tried and set aside the same day.
- TodayA tear-off date page beside your whole-life chain, and this week as a calendar board: one row per habit, seven boxes to cross off.
- HabitsTicking a day draws a marker X over it; part-done days get a stroke, slips a ring. Each kind of habit has its own marker colour.
- HabitsA month calendar for every habit, notes on any day, and a quick sheet with steppers and presets for amounts.
- BodyTape measurements from neck to calf, and optional backup of progress photos to your account.
Beyond training: habits
- HabitsTrack anything worth doing regularly: 68 ready-made habits across health, learning, mind, people, focus, money, home and creative, or your own.

- HabitsSkills with a long goal and a date at your current pace; cues, reasons and a reminder at the hour you choose.
- HabitsFill in or fix any day in the last 60.
- StreaksAn optional whole-life streak across training and every habit, with its own leaderboard.
- XPHabits earn XP, capped so they can't be farmed; four new badges and a new weekly quest.

Weigh-ins, quests, gyms and a monthly strength recap
- BodyWeigh in several times a day, tagged after waking, before or after training, or before bed, with a 7-day trend and the change in kilos and percent.
- BodyAn optional private weight goal with small milestones and a projected date. No rewards attached, on purpose.
- BodyProgress photos with a side-by-side slider. They stay on your phone and are never uploaded.
- TrainingType sets as 100x5x3. Search forgives typos. Pin a note to an exercise.
- TrainingGyms: the exercise list and plate calculator fit what each place has.

- StreaksAn opt-in wager: one extra day earns a freeze, and missing it costs nothing.
- XPThree weekly quests for habits, never for volume.
- SocialLeaderboards among people who train about as often as you.
- OfflineWeigh-ins and measurements save with no signal and sync later.

- SecurityMake a new set of two-factor recovery codes from Settings, and get a warning when you're running low.
