  • Home, gym, coffee — see where you went and how long you stayed
  • Your places stay on your iPhone

Journal

Simple, yet detailed.

Summary bubbles show your day at a glance. The timeline underneath has every walk, drive and stay.

Apple Health

Add sleep, workouts and heart rate.

Kinetic reads sleep, workouts and heart rate from Apple Health.

Read-only. Kinetic never writes to Health.

Our promise

We think tracking you is creepy.

Most apps send your data to a server, then sell it to whoever pays. Kinetic never sees your data at all.

We can’t sell what we never see.

  • No servers
  • No account
  • No ads or analytics
  • Backed up to your own iCloud
  • Place names from Apple Maps
  • Location pauses when you settle

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Where is my data stored?

On your iPhone, backed up to your own iCloud. Kinetic has no servers, so we never see your data.

Do I need an account?

No. There’s no sign-up and no account.

What does it read from Apple Health?

Sleep, workouts and heart rate. Access is read-only — Kinetic never writes to Health.

What does Kinetic log?

Steps, places, walks, drives, runs, cycling, workouts and sleep. It picks them up from your iPhone’s motion and location, plus Apple Health.

How does it log workouts automatically?

Tag a place like your gym once, and Kinetic logs your visits there as workouts. Kinetic measures workouts like yoga, surfing, pickleball and cycling itself, right on your phone.

Do I need an Apple Watch?

No, but you’ll get the best results with one. Your iPhone covers steps, places, walks and drives. Sleep, heart rate and readiness need a Watch or another sleep app that saves to Apple Health.

What is readiness?

A score for last night, based on your sleeping heart rate, heart rate variability and how long you slept, compared with your own recent nights. It needs about a week of nights before it shows a number.

What permissions does it need?

Motion to count steps and tell a walk from a drive, Location (Always) so it can build your day while it’s closed, and read-only Apple Health for sleep, workouts and heart rate.

Can I look back at past days?

Yes. Swipe sideways to move between days, and swipe up on a day for the details.

How much does it cost?

Kinetic is free for now, with no subscription and no in-app purchase. Premium features like themes, trends, a custom passcode and longevity are already in the app. Download by November 30, 2026 and you’ll keep them free for a year after premium launches.

What are the premium features?

Premium features like themes, trends, a custom passcode and longevity are already in the app, and they’re free for now. If you download Kinetic by November 30, 2026, you’ll keep them free for a year after premium launches. See our terms for the details.

How do I delete my data?

Choose Delete everything in Kinetic’s Settings. It stops recording and erases your data on your iPhone, your iCloud backup and the app’s preferences.
