The 1% is more than a fitness tracker. It’s a daily companion designed to help you create lasting change, one small step at a time. By bringing your workouts, nutrition, health data, and habits together, it gives you a complete picture of your progress and a clear path forward. Nothing dramatic, nothing unrealistic, just steady improvement built on simple, consistent actions. Most people don’t struggle because they lack motivation. They struggle because their progress is scattered across multiple apps, or because they don’t have a system that helps them stay accountable. The 1% solves that by giving you everything in one place. Track your workouts with ease, understand your food choices, monitor your energy and health metrics, and build daily habits that support your long-term goals. The foundation of the app is the belief that small daily improvements lead to big results. Every workout logged, every habit completed, every meal tracked, and every trend you spot is another step forward. Over time, those steps turn into momentum, and that momentum turns into real transformation. The 1% is built to support you through every part of that process, helping you stay motivated, stay aware, and stay focused on becoming the better version of yourself you’re working toward. Workout Tracker – Log workouts, track progress, and set goals. Nutrition Tracker – Log meals, track macros, and access data offline. Health Insights – Sync with Apple HealthKit for heart rate, sleep, and more. Smart Reminders – Stay on track with custom habit reminders. Private & Secure – Your data stays on your device, with optional cloud backup. Download The 1% today and start making daily progress towards your goals!

Verdict

Cal Plus also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). The 1%'s advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 63%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
