How It Works

No manual logging.
No spreadsheets. Just move.

Helio runs in the background. You exercise. The app notices. Your Joules appear. That's it.

01
📱
Connect Your Health App
Link Apple Health or Google Fit once at setup. Helio reads your workout data in the background — GPS, movement, heart rate, duration. You never have to do anything manually.
02
🏃
Exercise As Normal
Go to the gym, run outside, do a HIIT class, cycle to work — whatever you already do. Helio detects when a session ends and sends you a notification to confirm the activity type.
03
⚡
Joules Land Automatically
Once a session is verified, Joules are added to your balance automatically. 70J for HIIT, 50J for a run, 50J for gym. Plus 15J every day you hit your personal step target.
Daily Steps

+15J every day
just for moving.

Set your personal daily step target at onboarding (minimum 7,500 — the NHS recommended daily amount). Hit it, and Helio automatically awards +15J at the end of the day. Stack it on top of your workout Joules.

✓ Tracked passively — no manual input needed
✓ Stacks with session Joules on the same day
✓ Counts toward your 600J monthly cap
✓ Set your own target — 7,500 minimum

The League

✓ £20 monthly prize for the individual winner
✓ Department Annual Premier League — runs all year
✓ 6 monthly objectives — 6 different types of winner
✓ Monthly winning department donates £10 to charity
