FitRats

Read full description

FitRats is accountability for small groups of friends. You set a few goals: calories, protein, daily movement, strength sessions per week, steps, sweets-free days, an eating window, a bedtime. Every night you check in with your numbers. FitRats judges the day: green, yellow or red. Your ring closes when the day is green. Then your group keeps you honest. Everyone in a challenge sees each other's days, reacts to check-ins, and stands in a weekly ranking by adherence. A small stake per slip, flat and capped, is paid directly between members. FitRats never touches money. FitRats also logs your training. A workout log for any kind of training: your sets prefilled from last time, one tap to confirm, a rest timer that rings through silent mode, the workout live on your Lock Screen. AMRAP, EMOM, For Time and intervals with a block clock; benchmarks like Fran and Murph; records that light up only when they mean something. A Trainer builds a plan for your gym or your living room, free. Exercise demos. Import your history from Hevy or Strong, export it any time as a CSV. Workouts from Apple Health count like your own. Milo, our coach, reads your training and helps you plan. Slips are not the end. A yellow day is erased by a green day right after it. Even a missed day is erased by three green days in a row. The app is built so the day after a slip is where you come back, not where you give up. What you get • One ring per day. Outer ring: how close today came to green. Inner ring: your week. The core lights up when you moved. • Goals that fit you. Pick a recipe or build your own set. Changes apply from Monday, so every week is fair. • A week view per goal, a personal streak, and your weight over time, never fined. • Challenges with your group: standings, a feed with photos and reactions, weekly settlement with receipts reviewed by another member. • Meals: log what you eat by search, barcode or photo; the day's calories and protein come from it. • Workouts: a log faster than Hevy's, your records and charts, a plan when you want one, and your training on the Lock Screen. • Sign in with Apple or an email code. No password. FitRats is a real meal and workout tracker, with Milo, our coach, on top. The day is still where your numbers become a commitment.
