Train, run, eat — one app is enough. MAJOR UPDATE: AUTO DETECT No more logging every set by hand. During strength training, iPhone and Apple Watch recognize the exercise you're doing and count your reps — just raise your wrist to see. See the list in Me > Intelligence > Supported Exercises. The longer you use it, the better it learns your training habits. Msats brings training, running and nutrition together. What you trained, how far you ran and what you ate are all connected — and your AI coach can see it all. Plan your week in one sentence Tell the AI coach your goal, like "train four times a week, I want to lose fat." It looks at your workouts, nutrition and health data, then builds training templates and a weekly plan you can add to your calendar and start right away. Ask it anytime how to do a move, what to train today or how much to eat. Train hard, see the progress An exercise library covering the whole body, with animated demos for common moves. Automatic rest countdowns with adjustable sounds and haptics. Last session's numbers, 1RM curves and a muscle coverage radar are all tracked for you. Drop sets, supersets, warm-up sets and circuit plans — everything serious lifters need. Every kilometer counts Free runs, goal runs, intervals, or follow a running plan lesson by lesson, with voice guidance. Plus walking, cycling, hiking, indoor cycling, elliptical, rowing, jump rope, stair climber, treadmill, HIIT, yoga, dance, ball sports and more — 20+ cardio types, each with its own calorie estimate. Even if the system closes the app, you can pick up where you left off. Turn your neighborhood into your territory Footprint Run splits the map into hexagons. Close a loop and everything inside is yours; run through someone else's turf to take it over. See your rank in your city and name each territory. Claims are checked against your Health workouts — riding in a car doesn't count. Know what you eat at a glance Snap a photo of your meal to identify dishes and estimate portions and calories, with each dish listed separately; packaged food is read straight from the nutrition label. Calories, protein, carbs, fat, fiber, water and caffeine all line up on your daily timeline. On your wrist Start workouts right on Apple Watch with live heart rate, pace and distance, synced back to iPhone. Live data also shows on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. And more Apple Music and Spotify with line-by-line lyrics. Widgets for quick runs, water, meals and check-ins. Habits, weight, cycle and health data. Export all your records anytime.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

msats holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: VirPulse has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 94% of VirPulse's written reviews are positive against 44% of msats's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 4 days. Both last shipped on November 5, 2026.
