Movin
Read full descriptionHide 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 โ 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. โ FIVE MOVES, A FEW MINUTES โ Open the app and your moves for the day are ready. Squats, push-ups, planks, lunges, core work and more โ 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. โ A RING WORTH FILLING โ The hero ring tracks your day at a glance and celebrates the moment you finish โ with a satisfying animation and a little haptic reward. Completing a move should feel good, so it does. โ STREAKS THAT RESPECT REAL LIFE โ 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. โ GUIDED, NOT GUESSWORK โ 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. โ PROGRESS YOU CAN SEE โ 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. โ REMINDERS THAT LEARN YOUR RHYTHM โ Pick a reminder time and Movin nudges you when it fits your day โ a gentle, on-device prompt, never spam. Keep an eye on today's progress right from your Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets. โ SAVE TO APPLE HEALTH โ Optionally log your sessions to Apple Health so they count toward your activity. Entirely up to you. โ PRIVATE BY DESIGN โ 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.

Helix Training

Train yourself like you have a coach. Helix is an app for self-coached athletes: AI builds a plan for your goal, workouts go straight to your Apple Watch, and your results, sleep and heart data sync from Apple Health on their own. One picture of your load: running, cycling, swimming, strength, HYROX. WHAT YOU GET โข An AI plan for your goal. A 4-week plan built around your race, HYROX event or hybrid goal and your schedule. Generated in a minute โ then make it yours. โข One load score. A single load scale across every activity type, including strength work. Actuals close themselves from Apple Health (Strava connects too) โ so you finally see how hard you really trained this week. โข Fitness and fatigue. ATL, CTL and readiness show whether you're building form or digging a hole. Readiness accounts for sleep, resting heart rate and HRV from Apple Health. In plain language, not a chart you have to decode. โข An AI assistant. Ask โwhy is my readiness 54?โ or have it swap tomorrow's run for an indoor ride. The assistant knows your data and proposes every change as a before โ after card โ you apply it. YOUR PHONE AND WATCH DO THE ROUTINE FOR YOU โข Apple Health syncs itself: type, time, distance, heart rate โ and your morning data feeds straight into readiness. โข Plans go to Apple Watch: intervals, alerts for your heart-rate zones, strength steps โ in the native Workout app, no separate watch app needed. โข Notifications that matter: your plan in the morning, your result logged after the workout. โข All your analytics in your pocket: ATL/CTL, readiness, plan vs actual, weekly volume. Requires iOS 17+. Privacy policy: https://helixtraining.ai/en/privacy
