TreadCred is the fastest way to track treadmill and cardio machine workouts to Apple Health when your gym equipment doesn’t sync automatically. Snap a photo of a treadmill or elliptical screen – vertical or horizontal orientation – mid-workout or at the summary screen, review detected stats, quickly make corrections or add missing stats, then save to Apple Health in seconds. TreadCred is built for real gym use and helps you log workouts without manually entering time, distance, calories, incline, pace, speed, or steps after every session. For better workout tracking, TreadCred can also estimate calories burned and step count using your height, weight, speed, incline, and workout duration. In many cases, these estimates may be more consistent and realistic than the numbers shown directly on cardio machines. Forgot to take a photo during your workout? You can also: • Import old workout photos from your photo library • Create workouts manually from memory in seconds • Quickly adjust or override detected stats before saving Designed around speed and low friction: • Snap or import a workout photo • Review and edit detected workout data • Save directly to Apple Health No Bluetooth pairing. No complicated setup. No need to carry your phone or wear a smartwatch during your workout. Perfect for treadmill workouts, incline walks, and elliptical sessions. Fast, lightweight, and built to make cardio logging painless. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

It reads your distance, time, calories, incline, and speed and fills in a log card for you. OCR auto-fill from a console photo Photograph your treadmill console and TreadLog recognizes the on-screen numbers (distance, time, calories, incline, speed) to fill the entry automatically. Recognition runs entirely on your device. If anything is misread, fix it right there in a tap. Quick manual entry too No photo? Just type in distance and time and you're done. You can add outdoor runs by hand as well — fast and lightweight. Calendar heatmap See when and how much you ran at a glance.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TreadLog at none against TreadCred's 2. TreadLog also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 months) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). TreadCred's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
