How it works?

Imagine an app that suggests simple activities based on analysis of your behaviour, e.g. how long and how well you sleep, how active you are or where you prefer to hang out. For example - if you hate running so much you'd rather wait for the next bus instead of sprinting 50 meters to get the one approaching the station, that app would never suggest you to run a half marathon (or even a 16th for that matter).

Well, such an app exists and it's called Aidlab.

How does a task get completed?

In order to get credit for succeeding, you need to exceed a minimal threshold for the particular activity. There is no upper limit, so don't stop! Not only your health benefits, but you can also place yourself in a record book of the given location, where the 3 best scores of each year land.

What do I need?

All you need is an Android or iOS phone with the appropriate permissions to collect location and activity.

Some activities require a fitness chest strap, which extends the fun. The fitness chest strap can detect entirely new types of activities based on the number of repetitions like push-ups, crunches or jumping jacks (chest strap can detect up to 16 exercises).

See how it works.

An icon with a padlock indicates that certain conditions are required, such as a certain number of steps in the last 30 days. Verification is done by calculating the average of your steps from Health Kit (iOS) or Google Fit (Android).
