## What is MindFirst?

Fitness starts in your head, not the gym.

MindFirst combines CBT-style self-help tools with workout tracking, an
intermittent-fasting timer, and habit building, so you can handle the thoughts
and cravings that decide whether you actually show up. iPhone, Apple Watch, and
widgets, 100% on your device.

RESET YOUR MIND
- Thought Challenger: write a quick thought record, spot the cognitive
  distortion, and reframe the all-or-nothing thinking that ends streaks.
- Urge surfing: ride out a craving instead of fighting it.
- Values check-ins: reconnect today's effort to what you actually care about.
- Future-self letters: write to the person you are becoming.
- Guided breathing with haptics for the hard moments.
- Morning and evening rituals to open and close your day.

BUILD HABITS THAT STICK
- Habit stacking: attach a new habit to one you already do.
- Implementation intentions: turn "I'll try" into "when X, I will Y".
- Streaks, achievements, and weekly reports to keep momentum visible.

TRACK FASTING AND FITNESS
- Intermittent-fasting timer with reminders, on iPhone and Apple Watch.
- Workout logger plus a built-in exercise library.
- Mood tracking with mood-and-workout correlation so you can see what actually
  lifts you.
- Weight, body measurements, and progress photos over time.

APPLE WATCH AND WIDGETS
- Start, pause, and check your fasting timer from your wrist.
- Quick mood, energy, and motivation check-ins.
- Guided breathing and workout logging on Watch.
- Home Screen widgets and Apple Watch complications for streaks and fasting.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
- 100% on-device. Your records never leave your iPhone unless you choose.
- No data collection. No analytics SDK. No tracking. No ads.
- Sign in with Apple only. App Privacy label: Data Not Collected.

A NOTE ON WHAT THIS IS

fasting, or exercise decisions.
