MyFitnessTech Train smarter, eat better, sleep deeper — all from one dashboard. MyFitnessTech is a focused fitness companion built for people who want their workouts, nutrition, sleep, and recovery data to live in one place — without ads or dark patterns. Core tracking is free: log a workout, scan a barcode, sync your watch, or pair a wearable from our hardware lineup — it all flows into the same private profile. FEATURES • Workout Tracking — A library of 350+ exercises across every major muscle group, with strength rankings (Bronze → Olympian) that tell you where each lift actually stands. Tap-to-complete sets, rest timer with custom presets, supersets, and a clean per-exercise PR view. • Nutrition & Hydration — Barcode scanning, weight-based food logging in grams or ounces, saved foods, meal-type picker, and water tracking. Macros and calories roll up into a live daily ring. • AI Food Scan — Point your camera at a meal, or at a nutrition label for the most accurate read, and get calories and macros back in seconds, already filled in. Every result is editable before it saves, and the Database button can swap in real nutrition data for anything the AI only estimated. Everyone gets 3 free scans; unlimited scanning is part of AI Pro (below). • Sleep Tracking — Manual logging with a weekly bar chart, overlap protection, and naps that don't break your main sleep. • Apple Health & HealthKit — Pulls heart rate, workouts, steps, active calories, sleep, and glucose from your Apple Watch and other HealthKit sources. Background sync keeps the home-screen widget fresh even when the app is closed. • Live Activities & Widgets — Workout and nutrition Live Activities on the Lock Screen, plus a calorie widget for at-a-glance daily progress. • Bluetooth Wearables — Pair MyFitnessTech hardware (BioBand motion tracker, SipSync smart bottle) for real-time sensor streaming, auto-logged sips, and live rep counts during sets. Use the app on its own if you don't have any of our devices yet. • Social — Build a public profile, find friends by username, friend code, or QR, and message 1:1 with private, auto-expiring photo support. Stay private with a single toggle, or report and block anyone, anytime. • Secure Sign-In — Email, Google, or Sign in with Apple. End-to-end account control: export or delete your account in one tap, and we erase your data along with it. AI PRO SUBSCRIPTION AI Pro unlocks unlimited AI food scanning, plus AI features we add over time.

No ads. Your health data stays on your device. MAKE 7,000 FEEL DOABLE StepQuest reads your steps from Apple Health, so tracking takes zero effort — even when the app is closed.

WHAT YOU GET • One beautiful progress ring — today's steps at a glance • Streaks — turn good days into a habit you want to keep • Monthly heat map — see your consistency take shape • Lock Screen and Home Screen widgets — progress without opening the app • A daily goal that fits — choose your target during setup • Dark mode — warm, minimal design in any light STEPQUEST PRO Go deeper when you're ready. Pro unlocks: • Streak Repair — mend a missed day and keep your streak's story going • Ring themes — choose Sunset, Moss, Midnight, or Dawn • Custom goals — set any daily target from 1,000 to 30,000 steps PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your health data never leaves your iPhone. No account to create, no cloud to sync, nothing to sell. StepQuest talks to Apple Health and no one else. WHY 7,000? A 2025 systematic review and meta-analysis in The Lancet Public Health found that 7,000 steps a day was associated with meaningful health benefits and may be a more realistic target than 10,000. StepQuest is built around making that goal feel achievable.
