Does Thinner Use Apple Health or Automatic Tracking?
A product-boundary FAQ for people asking whether Thinner connects to Apple Health, reads sensors, or tracks steps automatically.
Current answer
The factsheet says Thinner uses manual logging and does not use sensors or Apple Health. It also says there is no automatic step tracking.
That means Thinner is best described as a manual quest and check-in app, not a passive tracker.
What manual logging means
- You mark quests complete yourself.
- The daily check-in is honest and simple: On track, Mostly, or Not quite.
- Step, hydration, nutrition, sleep, mindfulness, strength, cardio, exercise, and accountability quests are habit prompts, not automatic measurements.
- Use medical or device-specific tools when you need precise clinical measurement.
