Open Workout Tracker is an iPhone app and corresponding Apple Watch companion that allows you to track numerous exercises, from running and cycling to strength training.
The software is designed with the belief that the data generated from the app belongs to the user. Furthermore, nothing should be transmitted off the device without the user's express consent. This means you can use this software without being tracked, without needing to sign up for any services, and without being presented with any form of advertising.
One of the first things you'll want to do before using the app is to edit the user profile. The data you provide here is used to refine the calorie calculations.
If you give the app access to Health Kit then it can read your existing birthdate, height, and weight information so that you do not have to enter it manually. Also, when paired with Apple Health Kit, your weight will be read each time the application starts so that this information is always up-to-date.
Bluetooth low energy devices (sometimes branded as Bluetooth SMART devices) are supported. You can use these devices to add heart-rate monitoring to your workouts or to log power, cadence, and wheel speed data when using a bicycle.
As Bluetooth low energy devices are not backwards compatible with earlier versions of the Bluetooth specification, you will need to have a phone which implements v4 or greater of the Bluetooth specification. The iPhone began supporting this specification with the introduction of the iPhone 4S in 2011.
To pair with a sensor, first activate the sensor while in the proximity of your phone. Next, select Edit from the app's main screen and the select Sensors from the menu. Make sure Scan for Bluetooth Sensors is enabled. Any compatible sensors that are found will be listed on the table. Select any sensors that you wish to pair with. The software will remember these selections.
