Ritmo turns the health data already on your iPhone into something you can train with. It reads Apple Health and adds the analysis a training log usually leaves out. TRAINING LOAD Session-RPE load with an acute-versus-chronic trend, so you can see when the last seven days have run ahead of your four-week baseline. Every workout is compared against your own average for that kind of session β€” cardio against cardio, strength against strength. DAILY SCORE One number from movement, recovery, nutrition and training, with the breakdown always visible. Today's recommendation tells you whether the day suits pushing, going easy or resting, and says which of your numbers it based that on. SLEEP AND RECOVERY Sleep scored across duration, deep and REM share, continuity and schedule consistency, with an interactive hypnogram. A separate recovery score combines last night's sleep with HRV and resting heart rate. Nights recorded without stage detail are scored on what was actually measured rather than counted as zero. POWERLIFTING Competition maxes with IPF GL points, split by full meet and single-lift. A meet calculator that anchors your third attempt at your max and builds the warm-up ramp downwards from the opener, so the jumps shrink all the way in. An RPE calculator on the RTS chart. ENDURANCE Personal bests per distance with WMA age-grading, Riegel equivalents, and pace calculators β€” including expected pace from heart rate, fitted on your own runs. APPLE WATCH A companion app and complications for your daily score, rings, steps with distance and floors, days since your last workout, and the countdown to your next meet. OPTIONAL CONNECTIONS Bring in your full sets and reps from Hevy, your race results from Strava, and your competition history from OpenPowerlifting. Each is off by default and uses your own credentials. PRIVACY No account, no server, no analytics, no ads. Your data stays in Apple Health and on your device. Nothing is ever sent to the developer β€” there is nowhere to send it to. Ritmo needs permission to read Apple Health to be useful, and works best if you already track workouts or sleep. It is a training tool, not a medical device.

About

Pedometer

StepKit is a pedometer that stays out of your way: steps counted on this iPhone, a ring that fills as your day goes, a real Apple Watch app with your heart rate, and Home and Lock Screen widgets that actually work. TODAY, THIS WEEK, THIS MONTH Today opens on one big ring with your steps and the days of the week under it. Switch to Week or Month to see the whole stretch, or step back to yesterday and the weeks before it. SHARE YOUR DAY Every day, week and month can be shared as a card, in many styles: the ring, a big number, hour by hour, the week's bars, the month's calendar. ALWAYS ON YOUR WRIST AND HOME SCREEN Five Home Screen and five Lock Screen layouts show today's steps, this week, a 16-week heatmap or today's distance, or start a walk with one tap. On iOS 18 you can start one from Control Center, too. On Apple Watch, two complications put today's progress on the watch face. None of this sits behind Pro. A WALK OF ITS OWN Tap Start and StepKit tracks one walk at a time: steps, elapsed time, distance, pace, estimated calories, and your cadence over the last minute. On Apple Watch, a walk is a real workout β€” it keeps running with your wrist down, reads your heart rate, and saves itself to Apple Health when you're done. Allow Location and every walk keeps its route: see each one on a map in History. READS HEALTH, YOUR STEPS STAY ON YOUR DEVICES Your iPhone's motion sensor already holds your last seven days of steps. Turning on Apple Health sync β€” optional β€” brings in every day before that, with your iPhone and Apple Watch totals already merged. StepKit shows no ads, asks for no account, and your step history and routes never leave your devices. GOALS, A STREAK, AND SOME SMALL WINS Set a daily goal from 2,000 to 30,000 steps and StepKit tracks your streak against a weekly target of five goal days out of seven. Forty-four awards in six series mark real milestones: a first 10,000-step day, 100 days at your goal, a year-long streak. NOTIFICATIONS THAT FOLLOW YOUR DAY As the day goes on, StepKit tells you when you've passed halfway, when you're nearly there and when the goal is done. On a quiet day it nudges you at 1 p.m., and again in the evening if the goal is still open. At the start of each week it sums up the last one, ready to share. Every notification has its own switch, and none of them come from a server. WHAT STEPKIT PRO ADDS Counting, walks and their maps, the Apple Watch app, widgets, goals, notifications, awards and sharing your day come with the app. StepKit Pro is a monthly or yearly subscription, or a one-time purchase, with no trial. It adds: - Reports from your steps: your strongest weekdays, where the month is heading, how often you hit your goal, what your walks say, and how you compare with a year ago - Monthly report: each finished month on one page, ready to share - Replay every walk in 3D: the camera follows the route - Trend charts across your years, in plain words - All-time records, celebrated the day you beat them - All your years: every year on file, with a β€œMy year” card to share - Adaptive goal: rises by a step you choose once your two-week average clears it - CSV export, and five neon colors for the app and its Home Screen icon PURCHASE DETAILS - StepKit Pro (Monthly) β€” the price is shown in the app before you subscribe - StepKit Pro (Yearly) β€” the price is shown in the app before you subscribe - StepKit Pro (Lifetime) β€” a one-time purchase; the price is shown in the app before you buy - Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase.
