Habits that stick Set a simple daily goal in seconds, see today’s progress, and keep a streak for consistency—not motivation overload.

Your progress, on your device History and records live with you. See trends over time and personal bests so small wins stay visible. Optional Apple Health Connect Health to add context from heart rate and related metrics around your sessions (read-only from Hang’s side—no writing clutter back to Health if that’s how you ship it).

Your hang data is for your training and your review. Unlock once Optional premium unlock. No subscription treadmill—just the app, if that matches your store listing. Perfect if you Hang for grip, shoulders, or decompression at home or the gym Want a timer you trust more than a stopwatch Care about showing up daily more than “optimizing” every variable Hang is not a climbing training platform and not a general workout logger.
