Family Maxxing is a habit tracker for the people you actually care about. I built this app with my wife because we wanted a way to start a fitness journey together with her family, with a prize on the line to keep it interesting. Turns out a lot of people want the same. A family habit tracker where your people are the accountability. Not a coach. Not a chatbot. Your sister. Your brother. Your partner. Your kids. Your mom. Start a 30 day challenge with whoever you want to show up with. Pick a goal. Put a prize on it. Check in every day. Climb the standings. First one to the finish picks how everyone celebrates. That's it. No ads. No public feed. Nobody watching except the group chat that actually matters. WHY FAMILIES USE IT Because your wife and her brother will out-run you for $50. Because the kids will do chores if there's a prize on it. Because your siblings in three different cities will actually text back when there's a leaderboard. Because your dad will walk more if your mom is ahead of him. Family is the best accountability there is. This app just puts a little structure on it. HOW IT WORKS 1. Create a family group. Name it. Pick your people. 2. Pick a goal. Showing up, steps, weight loss, or anything custom. 3. Set a prize. A pot of money. A massage. Dinner on the loser. Chores. Or just bragging rights. 4. Check in every day. Photo, number, note. Keep it honest. 5. Watch the standings. Streaks, check ins, progress, all live. WHAT'S INSIDE Group challenges with start and end dates Daily check ins with photo proof Live family standings, streak counts, and check in history The Pot. Track a group pot with splits for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. Bragging rights. No money. Just receipts. Group chat inside the challenge, where the trash talk belongs. Stories for the group that disappear after 24 hours. Diet tracking. Snap your meal or scan a barcode to log calories and macros. Workouts you can follow along with voice guidance, or log any of 80 activities in a tap. A Home Screen and Lock Screen widget with your calories left and one-tap shortcuts. Fitness presets. Weight, distance, calories, protein, water, steps, workouts, active minutes, reps, sleep. Custom goals for anything else you want to track. WORKS WITH APPLE HEALTH Connect Apple Health to bring in your steps, distance, active calories and flights climbed, and to save the workouts you finish to Health. Today's activity adds to the calories left on your widget. Health is optional, and everything else works without it. MADE FOR EVERY FAMILY Couples. Siblings. Parents and kids. Grandparents. Whoever's in your group chat. ABOUT THE PRIZE SYSTEM It's based on an honor system. This is not a financial app. Family Maxxing does not hold or move money. It just tracks the pot you've agreed to. Who's in. Who wins. You settle up however you want, with the people you already trust. Or skip money entirely and play for bragging rights. Most families do. Bragging rights last longer than $50 anyway. PRIVACY Your challenges are only visible to members of your group. No public feed. No ads. We will never sell your data. Apple Health data stays on your phone unless you choose to share it in a check-in, and it's never used for advertising.

Unio is built for two people, not for one person with a friends list. Most fitness apps start solo and bolt sharing on afterwards. Unio starts from the pair. You each get your own plan, built around your own goal and your own numbers, and you share one week, one streak, and one subscription. YOUR OWN PLAN, THEIR OWN PLAN Tell Unio your goal, which days you can train, and how long you have. It builds your week around you and rebuilds it when life gets in the way. Your partner gets theirs, built around theirs. One of you can be losing weight while the other is getting stronger. Lifting, home workouts, running, walking, cycling, the treadmill, the stair master, yoga and Pilates. TRAIN TOGETHER, LIVE Start a workout with your partner and watch each other's sets land as they happen, in the same gym or across town. Cheer them on mid-set, send a short clip, and get a nudge before your streak breaks. YOU DECIDE WHAT THEY SEE Weigh-ins, waist, chest, arms, weekly volume, body photos: every one is a separate switch, and you hold your own. Body photos stay off until you deliberately turn them on. Nothing is shared by accident, and turning something off stops it there and then. SHOW UP FOR EACH OTHER See the days you both trained, the streak you are holding together, and what your partner just finished, with their proof photo. Put both of your weeks on your Home Screen with the widget, and follow your own workout on the Lock Screen. TRACK WHAT YOU CARE ABOUT Pick the metrics that match your goal and ignore the rest. Losing weight, building muscle, getting stronger, building endurance, moving better or just being consistent: each one tracks different things, and Unio only shows you the ones you chose. FREE, AND WHAT COSTS MONEY Free forever: logging your workouts, your full history, weigh-ins, measurements, and everything you share with your partner. Unio Partner Plan covers BOTH of you. One of you pays and you both get the workout generator, week planning, exercise swaps, body impact, progress tracking, progress photos and accent colours. Start with a 1 month free trial, then $7.99 a month. Subscriptions renew monthly until cancelled. Cancel any time in Settings, under your name, then Subscriptions, at least 24 hours before the trial ends to avoid being charged.
