What is it?
SparkyFitness is a self-hosted fitness tracking platform made up of a backend API and data store, a web frontend, and native iOS and Android apps. Health data is stored on infrastructure the user controls rather than third-party services.
It covers nutrition, exercise, hydration, sleep, fasting, mood and body measurements, with goal setting, daily check-ins, interactive charts and long-term reports. Multiple user profiles and family access are supported, along with OIDC, TOTP, passkey and MFA sign-in options.
Integrations can pull steps, workouts, sleep and weight from services such as Apple Health, Health Connect, Fitbit, Garmin Connect, Withings and Oura, and look up foods in databases such as OpenFoodFacts and USDA. An optional beta AI assistant lets users log meals and activity through chat or food photos.
