HALEBIT FAQ

HALEBIT is an Android fitness tracking app with 18 workout choices across outdoor GPS activities, indoor and studio workouts, and racket sports. It brings workout tracking, daily activity, history, fitness insights and workout sharing together in one app.

The selector includes eight outdoor GPS activities (run, walk, hike, bike, rowing or paddling, skating, winter sports and wheelchair activity), five indoor or studio workouts (indoor, yoga, Pilates, strength training and HIIT or circuit), and five racket sports (badminton, tennis, pickleball, table tennis and squash). Metrics vary by activity and device.

HALEBIT is free to use with the core features: live workouts, history, body insights, a weekly summary, an effort check-in, share cards (including the plain month share), manual Google Drive backup and restore, GPX export and the home-screen widgets. HALEBIT Pro adds automatic Google Drive backup, the street map on your routes, workout recap, the monthly recap share card, the body trends card, a recovery note, the Load screen (long-term and recent load), route bests, training plan guidance, plan-based coach lines, totals for each sport and the performance and records centre. Pro is sold through Google Play as a yearly plan or a one-time lifetime purchase. Your data stays on your phone either way. See Free and Pro.

HALEBIT launches on Android first, and an iPhone version is planned. There is no release date yet. Join the waitlist, choose iPhone, and we will email you once when it is ready.

An iPhone version of HALEBIT, a privacy-first, on-device-oriented fitness tracker, is planned. Until then, our guide to choosing a private fitness tracker for iPhone and our steps for keeping fitness data private on iPhone apply to any app you use.

HALEBIT is designed as a privacy-first, on-device-oriented fitness tracker. The core product does not make an online account the centre of the experience. Optional integrations and backup capabilities are controlled separately, and you should read their in-app disclosures.

HALEBIT is designed to store core workout, route, sleep, settings and plan information on your device. Android backup and optional Google Drive backup are covered in the privacy policy.

HALEBIT includes daily activity and step tracking. Background step records and widget data are not currently included in the app backup layers, so keep this limitation in mind before uninstalling or clearing app data.

Drive backup is optional and user-authorised. Automatic daily backup to Drive is part of HALEBIT Pro; a backup you start yourself is free. When enabled, backup files transfer directly between HALEBIT and your Google Drive app folder, not through HALEBIT servers. The files are plain JSON and are not encrypted by HALEBIT. Review the privacy page for backup coverage and limitations.
