## What is Eightful?

Eightful is a small, focused Apple Watch complication and iPhone companion
for Vitality Health members chasing the daily 8-point activity target.
Not affiliated with Vitality - an independent tool that works alongside
the official Vitality Member app (https://www.vitality.co.uk).

WHAT IT SHOWS
• A colour-coded step count on your watch face. White below 6,500; red
  when you're within 500 steps of 7,000, 10,000 or 12,500 (push now!);
  orange, yellow and green as you achieve 3, 5 and 8 points.
• The same number, larger, in the iPhone app - plus the points total,
  tier, and a live timestamp.
• A Week tab on iPhone showing last week's points day by day so you can
  see at a glance where you earned and where you missed.
• iPhone widget with the same info.

WHAT IT DOES
• Reads your step count from CoreMotion on the watch.
• Scans today's workouts for any that satisfy the 8-point rules (30 min
  at >= 70% of your max HR, or 60 min at >= 60%) and turns the display
  green early if you've earned the daily maximum via heart rate rather
  than steps. Shows the qualifying workout's duration and intensity in
  the app.
• Fires a single notification per day at a time you choose (default
  20:00). If you're close to a threshold - 6,500-6,999, 9,500-9,999, or
  12,000-12,499 - it tells you how many more steps you need to tip over.
  If you've already hit the top tier, it stays quiet.
• Adapts its refresh rate: quicker while you're actively walking, idle
  when you're sitting still. Built to be gentle on battery.

WHAT IT DOESN'T DO
• Sign in, sync with an online account, or send data off your device.
• Claim any affiliation with any health insurance company.
• Replace your insurer's official app - it won't log points for you.

PRIVACY
Your Apple Health data never leaves your device. Eightful has no server;
calculations run locally on the watch and iPhone. Settings are stored
on your device only.

DISCLAIMER
Eightful is an independent tool, not affiliated with, endorsed by, or
connected to Vitality Health Insurance. The 7,000 / 10,000 / 12,500 step
thresholds and heart-rate rules implement Vitality's published activity-
points scoring; consult your Vitality terms for the authoritative rules
that apply to you.

REQUIREMENTS
iOS 16 or later, watchOS 9 or later. HealthKit permission required.


## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.05 — 2026-05-15

iPhone home-screen widget: small widget showing today's steps, points, and weekly total. Add it from the
  home-screen widget gallery.

  Settings now lives in its own tab on the iPhone, alongside Today and Week.

  Peloton support (experimental): rides recorded on your Apple Watch are now detected and scored per Vitality's
  Peloton rules - 20 min minimum, 5 pts / 8 pts with heart rate. Please report any rides that score differently
  from your Vitality statement.

  Daily report notification redesigned: now reads e.g. "8,500 steps - 3 points - 1,500 more to 5 points." Empty
  banner bug fixed (issue #1).

  Today tab: points value coloured by tier; no more "Red" / "Orange" / etc. text label.

  Watch app: 0-pt days stay white during today (still earnable) and turn red once the day is over.

  Thanks to Adrian Lansdown (@yayadrian) for the iOS widget and Settings tab contributions, and to @berters for
  the empty-notification report.
