Congratulations!

I also wrote an iOS app to do this exact same thing, although it’s unfinished and unpublished. I had a lot of trouble getting the app to perform well (what’s your secret?!)

Couple of things I implemented that you may want to consider:

1) onboarding flow to help users setup the app on first launch

2) filter certain workouts to include/exclude by type, duration, etc

3) home screen widget

Id love to chat if you’re open to it.



Hey thanks for the feedback. The secret? I'm not sure? You had issues with the speed or getting the data and updating the view?

What I did is adding a loading indicator and fetching data onChange, so if I change e.g. bow heart rates are calculated it starts to fetch instantly after the change not only on the view with the bars.

And I'm currently just fetching 30 days. I think this will be interesting if I try to extend it.

Onboarding flow, Home screen widget is on my list. Thanks.

The filtering would also be interesting. Haven't though about hat because I usually myself do always the same workouts


My speed issue was in getting the data (although I think it is fixed now).

The other big performance problem I've had is the simulator hanging when I try to use Swift Charts.

My primary interest was in monitoring my total zone 2 time for cardio workouts where I spend at least 30 consecutive minutes in zone 2. However I've reduced the scope for now while I get the minimum viable app up and running.
