Track more of your activity, without changing your habits. Exercised can capture your workouts even when your phone or smartwatch can’t detect them by itself, giving you more complete tracking in Apple Health & Apple Fitness. Just tell the app where you usually go to exercise, and it will remind you to record your workout after each visit. It pre-fills all the details and estimates the calories you burned – supporting 66 different types of exercise. It then adds your workout to Apple Health so you can track your activity and make progress towards your move goal in Apple Fitness. If you worked out at home or somewhere the app doesn’t know about, adding it is still a breeze with Exercised. Its design uses every trick in the book to make this as effortless as possible. The free version lets you monitor one place and use the app otherwise unrestricted – no ads, no pestering! Depending on your needs, you can unlock the ability to add up to twenty places, through a one-time in-app purchase. Exercised was designed for maximum privacy. Your data is only ever added to your Apple Health database or saved privately to your device, never shared with the developer or other third parties.
