Cardio machine workout log from a photo
Most cardio machines don't sync to your phone. CardioSnapr fills the gap — snap a photo of the console after any cardio workout and it reads and saves your stats for you.

Beta: AI extraction can misread some console photos, so always check your stats before saving.
How it works
- Snap or upload a photo. Take a photo of the cardio machine console right after your workout — straight-on, full screen. Or upload from your camera roll.
- Check the extracted stats. CardioSnapr reads the numbers from your photo and shows you every field before saving. Edit anything that looks wrong.
- Save, copy, or export. Save to your workout history, copy a text summary, export to CSV, or email it to yourself.

Works best when
- Take a clear, straight-on photo of the full console screen.
- Avoid glare — move or angle the phone slightly if needed.
- Capture the post-workout summary screen where available.
- Check stats in the review step before saving — AI can misread some displays.
