New & improved Gyroscope app!
V1.8 was just approved and is now available in the App Store. We’ve made a ton of improvements, especially to the Gyroscope Pro features.
For the last couple years, we’ve gotten a lot of requests for integration with MyFitnessPal and tracking of calories on Gyroscope. Combined with tracking all of your workouts, sleep and other data, we can now be the most effective tool in controlling your weight.
Gyroscope Pro now has an additional sync option, which will add more data types from HealthKit:
- Calories
- Fat
- Carbs
- Protein
- Water
- Caffeine
In addition to these nutrients, which can be populated by a variety of apps, we’re also loading the new “mindfulness” stats — which can come from meditation apps like Headspace or Calm, or from the new Breathe app included with Apple Watch OS3.
As you meditate or take mindful breaks throughout the day, they will show on Gyroscope. It can be really hard to get motivated and do these things regularly, so we hope seeing it on Gyroscope will help with that.
We’ve only been logging our food and mindfulness time for the last couple weeks, but it can quickly become a habit and start to have a positive impact in your life.
Automatic Sleep Tracking
The new Sleep AI analysis is now available in the iPhone app, and we’ve made it more accurate based on everyone’s feedback over the last month. It requires having RescueTime and wearing a device at night like the Apple Watch or Fitbit—otherwise the data may not be accurate.
This will let you start using the various sleep analysis reports and see how you’re doing. Whether you want to lose weight or be more productive, your sleep quality can play a big part in that.
DNA Tracking
If you’ve already done 23&me and have that data lying around, you can now import it into Gyroscope. It goes in the Vault, so no one else will be able to access it, but will start to unlock more tailored reports and experiences for you.
We’ve added a ton of other new features & improvements over the last couple months. See the full release notes and upgrade to the latest app to try them out!
cheers,
Anand & Mahdi
