Your workouts are changing your biological age. MakeFit shows you exactly how. Every session, every night of sleep, every rest day — tracked and scored against your Body Age, a real-time fitness indicator built from VO2 max estimates, heart rate recovery, sleep consistency, strength volume, and training zone distribution. JOIN YOUR COMMUNITY Compare your biological age and aging rate on shared leaderboards. See who's improving fastest. Get personalized recommendations based on real health data, not algorithms optimized for engagement. DAILY READINESS & RECOVERY Vitals scores combine sleep quality (duration, efficiency, consistency) with daytime recovery signals so you know whether to push or rest before you start. TRAINING THAT ADAPTS The workout recommender adjusts daily and weekly targets to your actual recovery state — cardiovascular, strength, and rest balanced against your fitness trend, not a fixed plan. AI FITNESS COACH — FULLY ON DEVICE On supported devices with Apple Intelligence, your health coach processes everything locally. Nothing leaves your phone. No cloud, no profile, no exposure. ADVANCED WORKOUT ANALYSIS Heart rate zones, training distribution, heart rate recovery curves, 42-day fitness trend with projection. Every metric feeds back into Body Age. SLEEP DEFICIT TRACKING Cumulative 3-day sleep deficit model with visual alert. Bedtime notifications use fresh, context-aware data — not a fixed schedule. — MakeFit is not a medical device. Not a substitute for medical advice. Insights are informational and trend-based only. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ and makef.it/app-terms

Apex Trace

Your Fitbit data, beautifully visualized — and entirely on your phone. Apex Trace turns the health data you already track into a dark, animated dashboard worth opening every morning. It reads your data through the Google Health API and renders it as ring gauges, real hypnograms, activity heatmaps, and long-term trends. No flat charts. No monthly bill. PRIVATE BY DESIGN — NOT BY PROMISE Most health apps ask you to trust their servers. Apex Trace doesn't have any. • No backend. Your health data never leaves your device — there's nowhere for it to go. • No account, no tracking, no ads. Nothing to sign up for, nothing following you around. • Limited Use. Apex Trace's use of Google data follows the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements: your data powers only the features you see — never advertising, never sold, never used to train AI. • Optional crash reports are off by default, and never contain health data. Disconnect anytime and Apex Trace revokes its access and wipes every cached byte from your device. WHAT YOU GET • Today — your whole day at a glance, with animated ring gauges and an at-a-glance readiness estimate computed from your own data. • Sleep — a real hypnogram showing stages, timing, and how last night compares to your baseline. Finally readable. • Fitness — activity heatmaps and heart-rate zones that show effort and consistency over time, not just a single number. • Trends — long-term patterns across your metrics, so you can spot what's actually changing week over week and month over month. PAY ONCE. $6.99. No subscription. No in-app purchases. No ads. Buy it, own it. Get premium-style daily estimates without the premium-style monthly bill. TRY IT BEFORE YOU CONNECT Apex Trace ships with a full sample mode, so you can explore the entire dashboard with example data before you buy or connect anything. WHAT YOU'LL NEED (companion app) Apex Trace reads your data through the Google Health API, so it needs: • The Google Health app installed, and • A connected account syncing into it (a Fitbit account is the most common source). Apex Trace does not connect to Fitbit directly, and there's no account to create with us. A NOTE ON THE NUMBERS Apex Trace's readiness, sleep, and cardio-load figures are its own estimates, computed on your device to help you spot patterns. They are not medical advice, and not any other product's official scores. Fitbit and Google Health are trademarks of Google LLC. Apex Trace is an independent app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Google LLC.
