OtterLife

A fitness and diet tracker built on Health Connect

OtterLife is a fitness and diet tracker for Android that works with Health Connect, the platform's shared health data store. It suits people who want to keep a workout routine or a calorie target and find plain logs too dull to stick with.

The developer presents it as a habit tracker as much as a fitness log, so the daily check-ins matter as much as the numbers.

Logging workouts, calories and water

You log workouts and manage your diet in the same app. The diet side covers a daily calorie deficit and water intake, which are the two nutrition items the listing names.

Keeping workouts, calories and water in one place means a single daily routine covers the training and eating sides of a goal.

Sleep, stress and other health data

The app tracks more than ten types of health data, and the listing names sleep and stress among them. Health Connect is the link that brings this data into the app.

Sleep and stress sit alongside workouts and diet, so a single view can show how recovery and daily habits line up with training and eating.

Gamified check-ins for building habits

The listing says the app uses gamified check-ins to help people form habits. It names sitting for long periods as one habit it is meant to help break, and frames the daily check-in as the way to keep at it.

Check-ins are the link between the data and the habit: each one records a small daily action rather than a full workout or meal entry.

Home screen widgets and data analysis

Home screen widgets show your progress without opening the app. The listing also advertises data analysis of what you log, covering the fitness, diet and health records the app keeps.
