Elliptical workout log from a photo
Most ellipticals show time, distance, calories, resistance, steps, and heart rate — but don't sync to any app. Snap the console screen after your session and CardioSnapr saves it all 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 elliptical console right after your session — 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.
What elliptical stats can it capture?
CardioSnapr reads whatever is shown on the elliptical console. Common stats include:
- Duration
- Distance (km or miles)
- Calories
- Resistance or level
- Stride rate (strides per minute)
- Heart rate (bpm)
- Steps
- Incline or ramp level (where shown)
Works best when
- Take the photo before the console resets or dims.
- Shoot straight-on with the full screen in frame.
- Avoid glare from overhead gym lighting.
- Capture the summary screen if your machine has one.
