Get Pace 0.3.19
One zip. Unzip it, move Pace to Applications if you want, then use right-click → Open for the first launch. The current preview is ad-hoc signed and not notarized, so an ordinary double-click is expected to be blocked by Gatekeeper.
Updates itself. Once Pace is running, it checks the appcast feed every hour and installs new versions automatically via Sparkle. You won't need to come back to this page.

Try it free. If your Mac has Apple Intelligence, Pace runs against Apple's Foundation Models tier at no cost. Pace is a $29 one-time purchase for the bundled local model experience — buy it after you've tried the current preview. Purchases are manual when hosted checkout is not configured.
Buy Pace — $29After you download
Three steps, then it's in your menu bar.
1. Unzip. Double-click Pace-0.3.19.zip.
You'll get Pace.app.
2. Open it. Double-click Pace.app.
macOS will ask about Accessibility, Microphone, and Screen Recording
permissions — grant all three. Pace needs them to hear you, see your
screen, and click for you.
3. Hold ctrl+option and talk. That's push-to-talk. Pace measures time to first spoken response on every turn and lives in your menu bar from now on — no dock icon.
Pace is ad-hoc signed (no Apple Developer Program). On first launch, right-click → Open to bypass Gatekeeper. After that it's normal.

You only download from this page once.
Pace uses Sparkle — the same auto-updater most indie Mac apps use. Once it's installed, Pace checks an appcast feed every hour. When a new version ships, it downloads, verifies the EdDSA update signature, and prompts you to relaunch. This protects Sparkle updates; it does not make the current app Developer ID signed or Apple-notarized.
If you ever want to check manually: Settings → General → "Check for updates…"
