Main Roadmap

Make heart-rate zones better reflect your own training by setting the maximum heart rate used by PaddlePal.The same setting would help keep zone information consistent when reviewing your workout charts and route maps, with a clear explanation when a default value is being used.

Personalise the maximum heart rate used for workout zones

Explore a recorded paddle by selecting a section of its route and seeing the information available for that moment, such as speed and heart rate.This would make it easier to connect changes in effort with places along your route, while clearly showing when a reading is unavailable.

Inspect readings on a recorded workout route

Find a steady paddling rhythm with an optional audio beat.We’re exploring a simple metronome that lets you choose a target stroke rate and follow the rhythm while paddling.Would you use this for technique practice, training, or both?

Not every good paddle is about covering distance.We’re exploring a practice mode for sessions spent working on balance, turns or paddle technique, with a focus on time, drills and notes rather than speed or distance.What skills would you like to record and review?

Technique practice sessions focused on time and drills

Follow a planned training session directly from your wrist.We’re exploring workouts with warm-ups, repeated effort and recovery intervals, and cool-downs. PaddlePal would guide you through each stage so you can concentrate on paddling.What would your ideal interval session look like?

Structured interval workouts with Watch guidance

Forgot to pause while taking a break? Tidy up the session afterwards.We’re exploring an extension to workout trimming that lets you remove selected breaks from the middle of a paddle, with a preview of how your statistics would change.Which kinds of breaks would you most often want to remove?

An accidental deletion should not mean losing a memorable paddle.We’re exploring a Recently Deleted area where you can recover a workout for a limited time before it is permanently removed.Would this give you more confidence when managing your logbook?

Restore recently deleted workouts

Put the numbers that matter to you front and centre.We’re exploring customisable Watch workout screens, so you can choose your main metrics and use a layout suited to touring, fitness or racing. A large-number option would make information easier to read at a glance.Which metrics would you put on your ideal workout screen?

Hi - I love PaddlePal but I really wish I could add a session manually. I went paddling a at the weekend and actually forgot my phone! I’d love it if I could of added the session when I got home.

I think it’d be really cool to have an icon picture of your own equipment that you are using (Kayak/boat/etc.)

Optional auto-pause will pause your workout timer when you remain nearly stationary and resume when you start moving again. You can enable it in Settings or change it during a workout on your iPhone or Apple Watch.It will stay off by default because resting and drifting can be part of a paddle. Detection uses GPS movement, so drifting in a current may continue recording. Manual pause remains available, and Race Mode keeps its existing timing behavior.
