This app is not just a new fitness tracker for jogging. Now your jogging will definitely not be boring! Here you train your Shadows and compete with them. The task is to not let yesterday's you overtake today's you. A Shadow is a recording of your movement during a run. Exactly as you ran. It will follow you exactly as you ran during the training from which the Shadow was created. 1. Perform a workout with the app and record it 2. In the Shadows section, create your first shadow using the training result 3. Everything is ready! You can perform the following workouts with this Shadow, create new Shadows and compete with them. You can give each shadow a name and choose its character. Catching up The Shadow will encourage you with its voice depending on the selected character. The app will signal when the Shadow approaches you at a close distance with sounds of varying volume (the closer, the louder) and types: 20-30 meters - single signals, 10-20 meters - double signals, 0-10 meters - triple signals. If the shadow overtakes you, it wins and the training ends. In other cases, you win. You can set the end of the training according to a specified time, a specified distance, or end it manually at any time. The progress of the training is also displayed on the locked screen of the phone as a widget, so that you can see all the necessary information without stopping while running.

Moon — Understand your sleep. Improve yourself. Moon is the perfect app for anyone looking to wake up feeling energized, build a consistent schedule, and improve their sleep quality. Don't feel rested even after a full night's sleep? Want to know exactly what happens to your body while you rest? Moon analyzes your sleep phases, recovery quality, health metrics, and long-term trends. With Apple HealthKit integration, all data syncs automatically from your smartwatch or fitness tracker, making the analysis seamless and effortless. KEY FEATURES: - Sleep Stages & Score: Discover the exact breakdown of your deep, light, and REM sleep, as well as nighttime awakenings. Our high-precision algorithm calculates your personal Moon Sleep Score based on key recovery factors, helping you uncover the root causes of fatigue. - Alarms & Tasks: Set reliable alarms tailored to your schedule. To help you wake up faster, you can use tasks: solve a math problem, complete a series of phone rotations, or read an affirmation, which gently activate your brain in the morning. - Comparison & Trends: Track your health metrics over time.

Compare any sleep metrics across different days or weeks to visually track your progress and understand what truly affects your well-being. - Morning Journal & Dreams: Don't let vivid dreams or great morning ideas fade away. Record your thoughts via voice or text immediately upon waking. Moon AI will help decode your dream plots, analyze your emotional tone, and save everything in a convenient journal. - Sleep Goals & Streaks: Build healthy habits with our sleep goals system. Set your target sleep duration and track achievements on an interactive activity calendar.

The upgraded AI assistant factors in your sleep goals and daytime habits (such as caffeine consumption) to provide tailored advice for optimizing your routine. - Sleep Sounds: Create the perfect relaxing atmosphere.

A built-in timer automatically turns off the audio once you are asleep. - Challenges & Achievements: Stay motivated with friends.
