We believe more time in nature means more happiness, wellbeing, and connection. Frontyard exists to help you spend more time outside — not by nagging you to log it, but by quietly tracking it for you. Some of the best moments happen outdoors, and you shouldn't have to stop and log them to know they counted. Just walk out the door, and Frontyard notices — building a gentle picture of how much sun, air, and open sky you're actually getting each day. WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT Fully passive tracking — Frontyard works out when you're outside and logs it for you. No buttons, no timers, no checking in. Known places — tell Frontyard about the indoor spots where you spend your time: home, work, the gym, your favourite coffee shop. It learns to leave those out, so the time it credits you is time you really spent outside. Accuracy improves the more you help. Editable session history — every outdoor stretch of your day, from a quick porch coffee to a long afternoon hike. Something logged wrong? Dismiss it, or drag it to where it really started and ended. Every fix teaches the detector to do better next time. A daily goal, and your week at a glance — pick a target in minutes a day, starting from the research-backed 17 minutes where the benefits begin. Watch the week fill in and your streak grow. UV exposure — see how much sun you actually caught while you were out there, measured alongside the minutes. Share your day — turn your outdoor time into a sticker for Instagram or Facebook stories, made entirely on your phone. BUILT TO BE QUIET ABOUT WHERE YOU ARE Working out whether you're outside happens on your device. Your sessions are never tagged with where they happened — the only places Frontyard stores are the ones you save yourself. Frontyard isn't about optimizing your life — it's about noticing it. A little nudge outdoors, and a quiet record of how often you find your sunshine. Find your sunshine. Frontyard keeps the score, so you don't have to.

Verdict

Resident Experience's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 7) and ratings volume (754 vs 3). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
