Never lose
a mile again.

Auto-pause killed your climb. The aid station ate your pace. Three of your best miles — gone.

PeakPulse was built so that can't happen.

The problem with auto-pause

"Auto-pause triggered on my steepest climb because I was moving slowly. Lost 800 feet of elevation."

"Paused at the aid station. Forgot to resume. Didn't notice for 4 miles."

Every other recorder has the same flaw: when it pauses, your GPS stops. The track is gone, and you can't get it back.

GPS never stops.
Ever.

Every GPS point, start to finish. Pause is a marker in your track, not a kill switch.

  1. Hit start and forget the app

    Auto-pause detects stops. The GPS track keeps recording underneath. No gaps.

  2. Climbing isn't stopping

    Smart pause considers grade, not just speed. A switchback grind at walking pace is the hardest part of your effort — not a pause.

  3. Fix anything after

    Every pause on a timeline. Recover a false pause, trim a section, add one you missed. Your data, your call.

How Smart Pause works in depth

Stop managing your recording status.

Hit the trail.

Built for the terrain.
Tuned for the effort.

Elevation you can trust

Barometer-fused altitude with outlier filtering. Tracks climbs through tunnels and dense canopy where GPS can't reach. If a rogue point slips through, fix it in the editor.

Built on the trail,
for the trail.

PeakPulse is made by trail runners and mountain bikers who use it on every workout. We built it because we were tired of losing data to bad algorithms — and because the paper cuts you hit on the trail, we feel too. Updates come fast. Singletrack, switchbacks, summit pushes.

PeakPulse

Your data is always safe. Your metrics are always clear.
