Read full description

Wake is a rowing tracker built by a rower — GPS splits on the water, connected erg capture indoors, and an honest report card after every outing. No account needed. Open the app, tap Start, and row. ON THE WATER • Live split (/500m) and stroke rate side by side, in numbers you can read mid-stroke • The screen stays awake for the whole row — no fumbling with a locked phone • Double-tap to stop, so a splashy swipe can't end your piece • Your full route recorded second by second AFTER THE ROW • A report card for every outing: route map, pace, stroke rate, and rhythm across the whole row • Pieces detected automatically — splits for each effort, not just the total • Scrub anywhere in the row and watch your boat move along the map • Every outing kept in your training library — rename, revisit, compare ON THE ERG • Connects to your rowing machine's monitor over Bluetooth • Live watts, split, stroke rate, heart rate, and drag factor • Per-stroke drive length and stroke distance • Force curves: see the shape of every drive, and whether it holds up when the rate goes up • Works with the Concept2 PM5 and Bluetooth (FTMS) rowing machines. Drag factor, drive length, stroke distance, and force curves need a PM5. APPLE WATCH + HEALTH • Wear your Watch as a heart-rate sensor, and start or stop the row from your wrist • Workouts save to Apple Health CREWS AND COACHES • Share any report with your coach or crew as a single link • Rowed with a crewmate's phone in the boat? Claim the outing onto your own account • Coaches: watch every boat in your practice live on one map (Wake Coach, for programs) PRIVATE BY DEFAULT • Your rows are yours — nothing is shared unless you share it • Sign in with Apple or Google only when you want your training backed up across devices Whether you scull at dawn, pull 2ks in a basement, or coach a program of eights — Wake keeps every stroke.

Paste a recipe link. Get it back healthier, with the macros side by side. That is the part no other food app does, and it is the fastest way to actually change how you eat, because it works on the food you were already going to cook. HEALTHIFY ANY RECIPE • Paste any recipe URL and see a healthier version in seconds • Original vs healthy, side by side: calories, protein, carbs, fat • Every swap is explained, so you can see what changed and why • Keep the versions you like in your own library LOG FOOD IN SECONDS, NOT MINUTES • Scan a barcode and it is logged • Photograph a meal and let Tastyer recognise what is on the plate • Photograph a nutrition label instead of typing it out • Say what you ate: "two eggs and a slice of brown bread" • Or just search. Whatever is fastest in the moment. FOOD DATA THAT GETS BETTER Most food apps sit on databases full of duplicates and contradictions that nobody ever fixes. Tastyer treats a wrong match as a bug. When you correct one, the catalog learns, and the next person who scans that product gets the right answer. • Every nutrition figure is sanity-checked against the energy in its own macros • Sources are labelled, so you can see where a number came from • Your corrections feed back in instead of disappearing YOUR DAY, AT A GLANCE • Calories and macros for today, without the clutter • Steps and active energy from Apple Health, only if you allow it • Calorie and macro targets that adapt every week to your own weigh-ins and meals • A grocery list you can build straight from a recipe Free to use. Available in English and Dutch. HEALTH DATA Tastyer only ever reads from Apple Health and never writes to it. Your health data is used to show your own activity and to calibrate your targets. It is never used for advertising and never shared with third parties. Privacy policy: https://tastyer.com/privacy Terms: https://tastyer.com/terms
