1. Screen time now credits reliably Earned screen time from reaching activity goals is now captured reliably, even if the goal is reached while the app isn't open. 2. Clearer alerts for every goal reached You'll now be notified for every goal reached, so the reward always matches the activity. 3. Pause now clears the lock screen properly When a parent pauses a session, the lock screen countdown now clears right away instead of continuing to count down. 4. Fresh start at midnight At midnight, the home screen widget now resets both screen time and step count together, so you're not left looking at yesterday's numbers. 5. More consistent balance across devices Screen time balance stays in sync more reliably between the app, the widget, and paired devices. 6. Reliability improvements Behind-the-scenes fixes for smoother, more dependable performance throughout the day.

1. Fitbit now syncs directly — no bridge app Fitbit steps flow straight into Apple Health through the Google Health app — just turn on Apple Health sharing and you're set. Fitbit now works the same easy way as Garmin, Whoop, Oura, and Apple Watch. 2. A smarter widget — now for steps, too The home screen widget now updates your "Steps Today" on its own as you move throughout the day, and resets cleanly at midnight — no need to reopen the app to see your latest count. 3. Guided goal setup in Active Mode Setting a personal goal now starts you with a recommended target from the Activity Goal Generator, so you're never staring at a blank field. Fine-tune it manually anytime. 4. Faster into Active Mode When your profile is already set up, switching into Active Mode drops you right in — no extra confirmation step. 5. Quieter midnight Removed the late-night "New Day, New Goals" notification. Your steps and screen time still reset at midnight — it just happens quietly now. 6. Reliability improvements Fixes across step tracking, the widget, and notifications for a smoother, more dependable experience.

1. Easier switching in Active Mode - Jump between Admin Mode and Active Mode right from the dashboard — no PIN required to switch back and forth. 2. New: Work Hours schedule - (For Personal Use Only) - Set hours where your chosen apps stay available — even when your earned screen time runs out. Ideal for work, class, or any time your tools need to stay open. Schedules can now run overnight across midnight, too. 3. Your earned time is protected - If a schedule starts while you're mid-session, your screen time now pauses automatically and saves for later instead of counting down while you can't use it. 4. A smarter widget - The home screen widget now updates on its own the moment a schedule takes effect or your day resets at midnight — no need to open the app. 5. Clearer schedules - Every schedule now shows an at-a-glance badge for when it runs — "Every day," "Weekdays only," or your selected days. 6. Reliability improvements - Fixes across schedules, notifications, and screen time tracking for a smoother, more dependable experience.

Resolved an issue with Schedules going into effect automatically

Activate Fitness — Earn Screen Time by Moving Activate Fitness helps kids build healthy habits by turning daily activity into earned screen time. Parents set a daily step goal, kids hit it, and the apps they love unlock automatically. No more nagging, no more guessing — just a simple, motivating connection between movement and screen time. How It Works 1. Parents create a profile for each child and choose which apps to restrict. 2. A daily step goal is set, tracked automatically through Apple Health and a connected wearable (or iPhone, if a wearable isn't available). 3. As your child moves throughout the day, earned screen time updates in real time. 4. Once the goal is hit, restricted apps unlock for the day. Built for Real Families Activate Fitness is designed to work the way real life does. Parents can pause screen time temporarily when needed — for homework, dinner, or anything else — without losing progress. If a wearable is unavailable on a given day, kids can request temporary iPhone-based step tracking, with parent approval. Everything resets automatically each night, so the next day starts fresh. Privacy & Safety First Activate Fitness only tracks step data needed to calculate screen time earned — nothing more. Parents stay in control through a secure parent dashboard, with PIN-protected settings to prevent changes by kids. The app uses Apple's Screen Time tools (Family Controls) to enforce restrictions directly on the device, so there's no need to hand over your child's passwords or accounts. Why Families Choose Activate Fitness - Encourages daily movement without conflict or arguments - Works automatically — no manual check-ins required - Flexible enough for busy schedules and real-world exceptions - Simple parent controls, simple kid experience - No ads, no in-app purchases pushed at kids Activate Fitness is currently in its early release. We're a small, independent team building this app because we believe screen time and physical activity don't have to be at odds — they can work together. We'd love your feedback as we continue improving the app. Requirements - iOS device for both parent and child - Apple Health access for step tracking - Optional: Apple Watch or other supported wearable for automatic tracking
