HealthKit is a wonderful way to track and store your fitness data on your iPhone but can be pretty daunting to go thru all the data items and organize the ones you want.  We decided to create a simple dashboard app that takes a lot of common datapoints like active calories, heart rate, etc., and just shows the current numbers. That's it! We hope this gives a simple snapshot of your day for which you can push forward on your fitness journey with new motivation. You can mix and match to fit your lifestyle and we provide 3 options for different lifestyles (casual walker, gym rat, or a marathon runner). We look forward to improving this app with more data items as we get more feedback on what our users want to show them quickly.
