Drink smarter.
Get home safer.
Pace is a quiet companion for the nights you choose to drink. Live BAC estimates, a ride home locked in before the first drink, and tools to look out for yourself — all without your data ever leaving your phone.
Built for 18–25 year-olds at or above the legal drinking age. iPhone only at launch.
Live BAC, your way
Widmark math tuned for your weight, biological sex, and tolerance. Updates in real time, with a sober-by countdown ticking down.
Plan first, drink later
Lock in your ride home before the first drink. Uber, Lyft, transit, designated driver, or text a contact — all one tap.
Lives on your phone
No accounts. No servers. No analytics. Every drink, every estimate, every contact stays on your iPhone — period.
Always know where you stand.
Tap a drink. Pace updates your BAC, sober-by time, and status pill instantly — no fiddling with calculators or guessing how many "standards" your cocktail was.
- Beer, wine, cocktail, shot, seltzer, or custom drinks
- Sleep-aware: under six hours boosts your estimate by 15%
- Nightly limit you set — gentle reminder, never a lecture
- Water counter, because hydration is the cheat code
The app that actually tells you not to drive.
Most drinking apps cheer you on. Pace pulls you aside. If your BAC creeps up and you haven't picked a ride, you get a calm interrupt — not a popup you can swipe away in panic.
- "How are you getting home?" prompt before it matters
- SOS shortcut to a saved emergency contact
- Pre-loaded home address on Uber + Lyft deep links
- Pregnancy warning surfaces once, then leaves you alone
The honest mirror, just for you.
See every drink you logged, when you logged it, and how heavy the week ran. No streaks. No leaderboards. Just the number — because awareness is the first step, and pressure is the second mistake.
- Recent-activity timeline with drink type + standard-drink count
- Nightly totals roll up in the home-screen widget
- Stored locally — delete the app to delete every byte
Your night is yours.
Your data stays where it belongs.
Pace was built local-first from day one. There are no accounts, no logins, no cloud sync, no analytics SDKs, no growth experiments running against you. The data model is whatever's on your phone — and nothing else.
Pace isn't for everyone — and that's the point.
Harm reduction means meeting people where they are. If you're already not drinking, the best app is no app. If you're drinking dangerously, an app isn't the help you need. Here's where Pace sits.
People who already drink and want to do it on their terms.
- You're at or above the legal drinking age
- You want to stay aware, not policed
- You'd rather decide your ride sober than negotiate it drunk
- You value privacy more than badges or streaks
Anyone Pace can't actually help.
- Under-age users — the app blocks you, and that's by design
- Anyone making a driving decision based on a BAC estimate
- People in crisis — call your local emergency line first
- Anyone looking for a sobriety / abstinence tracker (try a recovery program)
Pace launches on the App Store soon.
