ACTIVITY TRACKING
If you have an iPhone 5s or newer then you have no excuse to be idle. Move around, go for a walk, hit the treadmill or run around the city. Get Moving knows how active you are without you having to tell it anything.

DAILY ACTIVITY METRICS, NOW WITH CALORIE TRACKING
To motivate you even further, you will be able to view how many hours you’ve been active during the day, how many steps you have taken and the distance you have moved. Try to walk 10000 steps a day, or set your own daily step goal and don’t forget to check the number of calories you have burned before hitting that snack.

HEALTH APP INTEGRATION
By integrating with the Health App, Get Moving is able to increase the accuracy of its calculations. Get Moving will also read dietary calories from HealthKit to inform you about the difference between active burned calories and consumed calories if such data has been provided.

DESK JOB?

INACTIVITY LOCATIONS

SITTING OR WALKING?
Get Moving is smart enough to automatically detect when you are idle or on the move. If you start moving, the timer will stop after a few seconds and when you sit down again a new time interval will be set for you. There is no need to specify how long a break should be Get Moving will adjust to what you are doing.

BETTER THAN YESTERDAY
Check the 7 day stats to see how you have improved throughout the week.
