SUMRY

Product Introduction

1. SUMRY is a HealthKit-integrated iOS app that enables users to generate customized activity summaries by aggregating workout data and health metrics across multiple sessions or user-defined time periods. It processes locally stored HealthKit data to display totals for steps, distance, calories, activity ring progress, and combined workout route maps. The app operates as a secondary analysis layer for Apple Health data without modifying or exporting user information.
2. The core value lies in providing granular insights beyond Apple Health’s native capabilities, particularly for users requiring cross-workout comparisons and spatial visualization of activities. It transforms raw health metrics into contextualized narratives, enabling retrospective analysis of fitness progress, travel patterns, and daily activity trends through customizable filters and time ranges.

Main Features

1. SUMRY generates unified route maps by overlaying GPS data from multiple workouts (runs, hikes, cycling sessions) into a single visual layer, revealing spatial patterns across activities. This feature supports zoomable maps with timestamp annotations and route differentiation by workout type.
2. The app calculates time-range-specific totals for steps, active calories, and distance, including optional filters to exclude non-workout data or focus on specific activity types. Metrics are presented with daily averages and comparative percentages relative to user-defined benchmarks.
3. Activity ring analysis provides hourly breakdowns of stand hours, exercise minutes, and move calories, highlighting completion patterns and streaks unavailable in Apple Health. Users can correlate ring progress with specific workouts or calendar dates through interactive timelines.

Problems Solved

1. SUMRY addresses the inability of Apple Health to aggregate and contextualize data across multiple workouts or flexible date ranges, particularly for users analyzing training blocks, vacations, or long-term fitness trends.
2. The primary target users are endurance athletes, frequent travelers documenting exploration patterns, and data-driven individuals seeking to audit activity consistency beyond standard weekly summaries.
3. Typical use cases include reconstructing a multi-day hiking trip’s total elevation gain, comparing monthly running mileage between training seasons, or identifying spatial coverage gaps in urban walking routes during business travel.

Unique Advantages

1. Unlike fitness platforms requiring cloud synchronization, SUMRY performs all data processing on-device using HealthKit’s local database, ensuring zero data transmission to external servers. This architecture complies with ISO/IEC 27001-grade privacy standards without third-party dependencies.
2. The app introduces workout-type filtering for temporal summaries – a functionality absent in Apple Health – allowing exclusion of non-relevant activities (e.g., isolating cycling data while ignoring walks). SUMRY+ extends this with folder-based organization and side-by-side summary comparisons.
3. Competitive differentiation stems from unlimited free-tier summaries with ads, whereas competitors like Strava or TrainingPeaks impose activity export limits. The lifetime SUMRY+ purchase ($17.99) eliminates recurring fees common in fitness SaaS models.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. How does SUMRY handle health data privacy? SUMRY exclusively reads Apple Health data through read-only HealthKit permissions, processes information locally on the user’s device, and never transmits or stores data externally. All summary generation occurs offline without cloud involvement.
2. What additional features does SUMRY+ provide? SUMRY+ enables workout-type filters for summaries, folder-based organization, direct comparison of two summaries, workout-only metric isolation, extended activity ring analytics, and ad removal. These enhancements require a monthly ($0.99) or lifetime ($17.99) in-app purchase.
3. Which devices and OS versions are supported? SUMRY requires iOS 17.6 or later on iPhone and visionOS 1.3 or later for Apple Vision Pro compatibility. HealthKit integration mandates an iPhone as the primary data source, with iPad support limited to summary viewing via iCloud sync.
4. Can SUMRY modify or add data to Apple Health? No, SUMRY operates with read-only HealthKit access. It cannot write workout data, step counts, or any other metrics back to Apple Health, ensuring data integrity and compliance with Apple’s privacy guidelines.
5. Are advertisements present in the free version? The free version displays non-intrusive banner ads, which can be permanently removed through a $1.99 in-app purchase. SUMRY+ subscribers receive ad-free usage regardless of their subscription tier.
