This might be the app that finally helps you form the healthy habits, for the long run.
There are a lot of health and fitness tracking apps out there, but this one gives you
- Undistracted view of the important & reliable metrics
- Reasonable presentation of all historical data
- Numbers that you can trust
Ā
The app works based on data in Apple Health.
Ā
š The focus of today
Instead of an infinitely scrollable feed of a million metrics, the Today view just display your Steps, Sleep Hours, and Workout Time.
Ā
Why these 3 metrics
Steps represents how active you are over the entire day
Sleep Hours is there because of how important sleep is for your health
Workout Time is there to make sure that you are doing some dedicated, higher effort exercises (strength training, running, etc)
All these metrics can be easily tracked with just a phone and free apps, without any smart watches.
All of them are within your control:
- For sleep, itās just the time in bed. Knowing the length of deep sleep or REM might be useful, but the one thing you can control is when you go to bed.
- All types of exercises, cardio, endurance, strength, flexibility, etc are all important. You might do different things on different days. So what matters is the time you put in.
Ā
These number are also objective, and trustable, compared to, say Calories burnt, HRV, or VO2 max.

šĀ A long term view
You can quickly go through your entire fitness history. You can see your weeks, months, years, and even the entire history, all in standard bar charts.
We believe that being able to see the entire history creates the motivation to form a long term habit. You can imagine, years later, the joy of seeing all the yearly charts displaying consistently high bars.
Itās not about a couple of heroic moments. Itās about how you show up every single day, year after year.
Ā
šĀ Math done right
Doing statistics around these health metrics is hard. The data is often imperfect: missed logs, duplicated records from multiple sources, etc.
Some apps provide data in less comprehensible ways: āthis year you walked 2,454,329 steps and slept for 1824 hoursā, is it good? is it bad? š¤·š½Ā not ready for the mental math.
Ā
This app shows you the most understandable way: the daily average.
Ā
Corner cases are also handled, e.g. if you forgot to track your sleep yesterday, and you slept 7 hours today, we wonāt say that on average you sleep 3.5 hours a day.
Ā
The math is transparent: you can tap each bar chart and see how the numbers are calculated.
