About

Movin

Read full description

Movin turns "I should move more" into something you actually look forward to. Each day you get a handful of quick bodyweight moves — no gym, no gear, no hour-long commitment. Finish them, fill the ring, and keep your streak alive. It's built around one simple idea: small movement, done every day, beats the perfect workout you never start. — FIVE MOVES, A FEW MINUTES — Open the app and your moves for the day are ready. Squats, push-ups, planks, lunges, core work and more — drawn from a library of bodyweight exercises across push, pull, legs, core and cardio. Want a lighter or harder day? Set your daily goal from 1 to 5 moves. — A RING WORTH FILLING — The hero ring tracks your day at a glance and celebrates the moment you finish — with a satisfying animation and a little haptic reward. Completing a move should feel good, so it does. — STREAKS THAT RESPECT REAL LIFE — Hit your goal each day to grow your streak. Miss a day? Earn streak freezes as you go and Movin can automatically save your streak instead of resetting it to zero. Progress shouldn't punish you for being human. — GUIDED, NOT GUESSWORK — Every move has clear "how to do it" instructions, a built-in set counter and hold timer, per-side tracking for moves like lunges and side planks, and an optional rest timer between sets. The screen stays awake while you work out. — PROGRESS YOU CAN SEE — Earn XP, climb levels, and unlock 26 achievements that track live as you train. Watch your per-exercise strength levels climb over time, and review your week, month or year on the Performance screen. — REMINDERS THAT LEARN YOUR RHYTHM — Pick a reminder time and Movin nudges you when it fits your day — a gentle, on-device prompt, never spam. Keep an eye on today's progress right from your Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets. — SAVE TO APPLE HEALTH — Optionally log your sessions to Apple Health so they count toward your activity. Entirely up to you. — PRIVATE BY DESIGN — No account. No sign-up. No tracking. Movin runs entirely on your device and your data stays there. Just open it and move. Designed for iPhone and iPad, in portrait and landscape, with full support for Dynamic Type, Dark Mode, VoiceOver and Reduce Motion. Five moves. A few minutes. One streak you don't want to break.
