RaceJoy is created specifically for running, cycling and triathlon events with a focus on the participant and spectator experience. Features vary by event and include live phone tracking, progress alerts, results, race information, photos, Send-a-Cheer and much more! There are two distinct experiences in RaceJoy: -Featured Events -Training Days Featured Events (shown with the Event Logo): These are events that have contracted with RaceJoy to provide a premium experience for participants and spectators. Features are free and provided by the event or sponsor(s). Features included: -Live GPS, phone tracking on the course map. -Send-a-Cheer! (fun motivational audio clips). -NearMe alerts (spectators and waiting relay teams get an alert when a participant is drawing near). -MeetUp tool for seeing where you are in relation to a participant. -Automatic Progress Postings to Twitter (with your approval, of course!). The following features may be provided by the event: -Scored Race Results within moments of crossing the finish line. -Essential race information like schedules, FAQs, race news, and more. -Your official race photos. -Optional Tracking with Progress Alerts: Some events offer BIBTAG tracking in addition to PhoneTrak. For these events there is no need to carry your phone as this is based on the participant’s BIB/chip as they cross over timing points on the course. Training Days This area enables athletes to have their friends and family track their progress live on a map and send motivational cheers during long training runs or rides. All PhoneTrak features are available in Training Days, along with special motivational cheers to help you through those tough moments. Training Days is a free always available area for your long training days. Based on our privacy policy you must setup a special tracking ID (PIN) with profile name and provide that to friends and family tracking you on your Training Days. Add a Race? If you would like a race to offer the full featured experience with official race progress alerts and results, please let the race director know about RaceJoy. Battery Usage RaceJoy’s live phone tracking feature is ONLY activated during the hours of the event. When using Training Days, the athlete turns on/off tracking as needed. Use of this GPS technology running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. You may disable this under settings at anytime during the event to conserve battery life if needed. Feedback and Support We hope you enjoy using RaceJoy! Please share your experience in the App store to encourage others to try it out. If you have had any issues, or have feedback or ideas, please help us to improve the experience by contacting us at support@racejoy.com. RaceJoy is created by a small family business and is dedicated to changing the race experience.

See how your body is changing. Body Shape turns selected Apple Health history into a calm, personal view of change. Instead of grading you against a generic population score, it compares your recent patterns with your own baseline. YOUR PERSONAL BASELINE As enough history becomes available, Body Shape learns what is typical for you. It then highlights meaningful differences without labelling them as good or bad. SIX CONNECTED DIMENSIONS • Sleep • Heart • Vitals • Consistency • Activity • Screen Time, when optionally connected TODAY, 7 DAYS, AND 30 DAYS Use the same six-dimensional view across three time periods: • Today shows how your current pattern compares with your recent usual. • 7 Days reveals repeated differences across completed days. • 30 Days shows longer changes that may be taking shape. CALM, EVIDENCE-BASED INSIGHTS Each period presents one focused Change Insight supported by the available data. When enough observations exist, Body Shape may also highlight changes that appeared together. These observations describe association, not causation, and are never presented as a diagnosis. EXPLORE THE UNDERLYING DATA Tap any dimension to view its dated measurements and trends. Open All Collected Data to see the source readings behind the analysis. Depending on what your devices record, sources may include sleep, resting heart rate, HRV, respiratory rate, wrist temperature, blood oxygen, activity, walking speed, workouts, stairs, and cardio fitness. OPTIONAL SCREEN TIME With separate permission, Body Shape can include whole-device Screen Time as an additional personal signal. The Screen Time report displays total usage and the five most-used apps without requiring you to select individual apps. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • All analysis takes place on your iPhone • No account or sign-in • No advertising or analytics SDK • No health or Screen Time data upload • No tracking • No app blocking or usage restrictions Body Shape is a general wellness and self-observation app. It is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat, prevent, or predict any disease or condition. One purchase. No subscription.
