Activity Rings
Definition
Apple's three daily activity targets, Move (calories burned), Exercise (minutes of brisk activity), and Stand (hours with at least one minute of standing). They appear as concentric rings on Apple Watch and in the Fitness app, and they 'close' when you hit your goal.
How MoveTogether uses it.
MoveTogether keeps Move and Exercise and swaps Stand for Steps, so its three rings are Move, Exercise, and Steps. Steps are the one number almost every watch, ring, band, and phone records. Stand rewards being upright rather than being active, and most non-Apple trackers have nothing to match it.
Every device's data reaches MoveTogether the same way, through Apple Health on iPhone or Health Connect on Android, and you pick the one tracker that counts toward your rings. Most scoring methods use these three numbers. Workout Count and Distance use recorded workouts, which arrive the same way, so every method is fair across devices. Goals are personal, and the rings reset at local midnight, just like Apple's.

MoveTogether is on the App Store and Google Play. Bring any device that syncs to Apple Health or Health Connect, or just your phone, and start your first competition this week.
