What's new

Helthy 2.8

October 2026

Added
  • Your goal now leads the Home screen: a card over an illustrated trail shows how far you have come and how far is left. It talks in distance to go, not your weight
  • Celebrations at a quarter, half, three quarters and all of your weight goal, plus checkpoints every 5 lb (2 kg) on big goals
  • Goal and Steps widgets for your Home Screen and Lock Screen (iPhone)
  • Apple Watch: see today's steps on your wrist, and review a voice-logged meal before it saves

  • Exercise now has Train and Progress views, with your most trained exercises and your records
  • "Set next" on any program day, and a switch to choose which program drives Up next

  • Up next starts a program at Day 1 and only moves on when you finish the day that is up next
  • Photo scans are more accurate and consistent: plain foods no longer match branded or restaurant versions, and the same photo gives the same numbers
  • Free accounts get 3 scans a week, and a scan only counts once you log the meal
  • Swapping an exercise mid-workout saves it to the routine, and editing a routine keeps your targets
  • Meal ideas and your meal history always sit at the bottom of the Food tab
Fixed

Helthy 2.7

September 2026

Added
  • Helthy for Apple Watch: track runs, walks, rides and HIIT with heart rate and calories, and log a meal by voice from your wrist. With Premium, the watch also follows your strength workout live, so you can complete sets and start rest timers without your phone
  • Programs: group your workouts into the order you train them, like Push, Pull, Legs. Helthy tells you which one is up next and moves you along as you finish each one. Build one from your library or let the AI generator create the whole program. Free for everyone
  • Allergen warnings: pick from 14 allergens in Food settings and foods that contain them are flagged in search, on food cards and on the food's own screen. Your coach knows your allergens too
  • A new workout editor: rename, reorder, add, replace or remove exercises on a saved workout and start it from the same screen. It saves as you go
  • Your records on the You tab: your best lifts with each exercise's animation, and a full Personal Records screen. Free for everyone
  • Your trends on the You tab: a weight trend chart with your goal arrival date, 12 weeks of training volume, and a plateau alert when progress stalls (Premium)
  • A Quick option when logging food: enter calories on their own, or calories plus macros, without searching
  • Notes mode when describing food: write your whole day out under Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and Snacks and log it in one go
  • An optional fiber target, shown as a fiber bar next to protein, carbs and fat
  • Share your weekly issue as a story-sized card, and preview your leaderboard rank card before you post it
  • A breakdown of where your calorie target comes from: maintenance, steps, workouts and your deficit or surplus, line by line
  • A "Like You" coach tone (experimental) that writes back the way you write
Changed
  • The coach can now act for you: log a meal or a weight, schedule a workout, set a goal, save a custom meal and build a routine
  • Logging food is now one screen with six ways in: Library, Search, Scan, Describe, Voice and Quick
  • Meal photo scans show each food as the AI recognises it, and the review screen opens before the scan has finished
  • The Home tab was redesigned: your streak is a flame in the header, the week shows as seven dots, and Today's Goals is a grid of calories, protein, active days and steps
  • The Exercise tab was redesigned around one Up next card that follows your program, or picks the workout whose muscles have rested longest
  • A rebuilt welcome tour that highlights the real app on screen, one step at a time. Replay it from Settings
  • Step history now follows your own calendar day, so evening steps no longer spill into tomorrow
  • Free accounts now get 2 scans a week, alongside 2 voice logs and 2 describes
  • Onboarding is shorter, and goal setup explains an unusual calorie target instead of blocking it
Removed
  • Workout, rest day, meal time and step reminders. Notifications now has three switches: meal logging, weekly progress and milestones

August 2026
