About

Kinoment

Features
Read full description

Kinoment shows live metrics from your Bluetooth fitness machine and saves your workouts to Apple Health and Fitness. See power, cadence, speed, distance, pace or calories depending on what your bike, treadmill, rower or elliptical trainer sends. On Apple Watch, Kinoment adds your heart rate to the workout. If the machine provides heart rate too, you choose the source. The app works on iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch with no Kinoment account. Data stays on your devices and in Apple Health. A shareable diagnostic helps us investigate unsupported machines without including workout metrics. Live metrics from your machine are free, with no limit. Your first ten workouts are also added to Health and Fitness. After that, a one-time purchase with no subscription adds every workout to Health and Fitness and unlocks complete history with CSV export. Compatibility depends on the Bluetooth data sent by each machine. Tested devices and support are available at kinoment.com.
