Sovon is an iPhone-first fitness activity logger built for one job: capture what you just finished, fast. Log in seconds with Quick Capture, manual entry, Apple Health import, or Siri, even from a locked screen. Whether you type a quick note or speak naturally, Sovon keeps logging fast and low friction so you can move on. From the Today screen, you can log strength, cardio, recovery, and vitals, or import workouts, sleep, and supported metrics from Apple Health. Stats gives you clear, locally generated charts, activity history, and personal records to track your progress over time. Sovon is built to be private and reliable. Your data stays on device, core features work offline, and no account is required. Quick Capture uses on-device Apple Intelligence when available, with manual entry always ready as a fallback. In Settings, you can control chart visibility, manage your local history, and export your data as a simple CSV to use in other tools like ChatGPT for deeper analysis. Sovon also includes an Apple Watch companion for fast logging on the go, with syncing back to your iPhone when available. If you want a fast, private, and focused way to log your fitness activity right after you finish, Sovon is built for that.
