SparkyFitness

SparkyFitness is a self-hosted fitness tracking platform made up of:

• A backend server (API + data storage)

• Native mobile apps for iOS and Android

It stores and manages health data on infrastructure you control, without relying on third party services.

• Light and dark themes

Health & Device Integrations

SparkyFitness can sync data from multiple health and fitness platforms:

• Apple Health (iOS)
• Google Health Connect (Android)
• Fitbit
• Garmin Connect
• Withings

Integrations automatically sync activity data such as steps, workouts, and sleep, along with health metrics like weight and body measurements, to your SparkyFitness server.

Optional AI Features (Beta)

SparkyAI provides a conversational interface for logging data and reviewing progress.

• Log food, exercise, body stats, and steps via chat
• Upload food images for automatic meal logging
• Retains conversation history for follow ups
