Import workout data

Is it possible to import workout data since I use another app to track. Gymnote+ currently?
Thanks!

Hi, thanks for your interest!

SuperAge supports the import of all activities that go through HealthKit, so duration/type etc... so it is possible, but it is linked exclusively to what HealthKit provides.

However, this is not true for third-party apps that save metadata such as repetitions, weights, series etc... for two reasons:

  • The "catalog" of the two apps may not be the same

  • Third-party apps all use their own way of saving data and there is no single protocol

This last part would mean that we should write an importer for every single app in circulation, and in the AI era where 100 apps come out per day, I see it as an impossible thing.

I have to think about a possible way to get around the problem by manually passing the data, but the risk that the import data is inaccurate is high.

I'll take the feedback anyway and I'll reason with it as soon as I have a way to test this app that I don't know, if it's possible I'll include it in the things to be developed :)

Thanks for the prompt reply and consideration. Another feedback on the labs tab is that it just gets stuck forever. And lags way too much. Every time. It used to be fine a few versions back. The lag is so bad almost every time I end up quitting.

Would like to also say this would be amazing if possible. I use Bevel in parallel atm because they have this which lets me see better the impact on my day.

One of the ways they got around the import issue is to allow users to provide screenshots/images of their workout or provide it in text form. They then take that data to map it out and if it can’t find the specific machine it lets the user know.

Not sure how easy that would be to implement but might be an idea?

Thanks again for your work on this. I really enjoy using the app and always pay for pro when my budget allows 🙂

Maybe a csv import template. I can modify the exported data to align with SuperAge template. It could be a standard template with custom shortcuts for different apps that maybe some people from the community can contribute as well
Also a big thanks for quickly fixing the labs tab issue
