Show HN: Because Apple's daily rings are limited: App for weekly activity goals
apps.apple.com
My idea was to build a weekly activity tracker because I was not happy with Apple's activity rings. I had 2 major problems with them: 1) Daily metrics. For me, I'm often having 7000 calories a week, but 1000 as a daily goal to have consistently is very unrealistic. I get the point of the daily motivation with the ring, but why not try it weekly or last 7 days. 2) Especially the stand metric is very useless I feel. I wanted different metics.
So the app is solving exactly those two issues for now.
It's tracking: - Minutes of vigorous and moderate exercise (based on time in heart rate zones 1-2 for moderate and 3-5 for vigorous) - Steps taken - Calories burned - Time spent in specific heart rate zones (Zone 1-5) - Distance for walking, running, cycling, and swimming - Flights climbed - Time in daylight - all your workouts in minutes
It's using as a time period: - this week (starting monday) - this week (starting sunday) - last 7 days
Visually, I'm using progress bars, with a projection if set to "this week". With "last 7 days" the goal would be to always have a full bar.
I'm not tracking any data The app is free https://apps.apple.com/us/app/weekly-activities/id6746421016
Happy to get feedback here. Thanks
