Get to a healthier and more active life with Google Fit! It’s hard to know how much or what kind of activity you need to stay healthy. That’s why Google Fit collaborated with the World Health Organization (WHO) and the American Heart Association (AHA) to bring you Heart Points, an activity goal that can help improve your health. Activities that get your heart pumping harder have tremendous health benefits for your heart and mind. You’ll earn one Heart Point for each minute of moderate activity like picking up the pace when walking your dog, and double points for more intense activities like running. It takes just 30-minutes of brisk walking five days a week to reach the AHA and WHO’s recommended amount of physical activity shown to reduce the risk of heart disease, improve sleep, and increase overall mental wellbeing. Google Fit will also help you: SEE YOUR WORKOUTS Get insights and see stats such as heart rate, speed, pace, route, and more for your runs, walks, and bike rides. MONITOR YOUR GOALS See your daily progress on your Heart Points and steps. Meeting your goals all the time? Easily adjust your goals to keep challenging yourself to achieve a healthy heart and mind. MAKE EVERY MOVE COUNT All physical activity can help you lead a healthier life, and with Google Fit you can track it all in one place. Working with your favorite fitness apps and devices, Google Fit builds a journal of your activity.

About

Rosehip

You know the spiral. Something goes wrong — or nothing does — and your mind starts replaying it. The same thought, round and round. And here's the part that hurts: you know good things happened. You just can't reach them. Not because they weren't real. Because loops block access to your own life. That's what overstimulation does. Constant input keeps the brain alert and scattered. Negativity sticks. Wins slip away — especially when you need them most. Rosehip is built for that gap. WHEN THE LOOP HITS — PRESS PULSE Morning dread. Midday shame spiral. Lying awake while your brain won't stop. Pulse is for those moments — day or night, whenever the loop catches you. It reaches into the wins you've been stacking and reflects them back as concrete evidence: your real moments, not motivational quotes. An interrupt when your mind is least able to help itself. YOUR VAULT Every win you keep lives here — a private, growing archive of what actually mattered. The more you stack, the more Pulse has to draw from when you need it. THE NIGHT RITUAL — HOW YOU BUILD IT Loops don't wait for you to be ready. So Rosehip gives you one small nightly anchor: keep one real win from your day, then a short tactile grounding exercise before sleep. Same few minutes. Every night. Small on purpose — if you've bounced off big journaling habits, this is the version that sticks. Over weeks it compounds: attention trains, wins encode, your Vault fills. Not productivity. Not performance. A place to land at night — so you have something real to reach for when the loop returns tomorrow. WHAT MAKES ROSEHIP DIFFERENT • Two moments, one system: stack evidence at night, deploy it whenever you spiral. • Your own proof — not affirmations, not a chatbot diary. • Quiet by design: no feeds, no streak shaming, no noise. ROSEHIP+ The night ritual and your Vault are free, always. Rosehip+ keeps the interrupt within reach and the habit alive: • Pulse when you need it (fair use, 30 sessions/month) • Nightly ritual reminders so the anchor finds you • Export your entire Vault as a CSV you own Subscribe monthly, or try annual free for 7 days. A NOTE ON PRIVACY Your entries are personal and yours. Rosehip is a self-reflection tool — not therapy, medical advice, or treatment.
