FAQ

Receipts is an app that rewards you for your workouts and training.

The app connects directly to your wearable (Apple Watch, Garmin, Coros, WHOOP, Oura, etc.).

For minutes of intensity during recorded workouts, you get rewarded with points.

You can also activate tracks and challenges to earn more rewards.

Brands spend a lot of money every year on ads trying to reach people who workout a lot.

We re-purpose ad spend from places like Instagram and Google, and distribute them directly as rewards.

We take a small cut when we do.

We're also releasing a paid premium version of Receipts with more perks and rewards.

We do not ever sell your data.

We've developed an algorithm to score what an intensity minute means for each person, including data that takes into account baseline resting heart rate and heart rate zones during workouts. Think around a zone 2 heart rate.

You can do any kind of activity to earn intensity minutes, as long as your heart rate is elevated enough.

• For every intensity minute during your workout (minute of elevated heart rate) you'll earn points. 1 intensity minute = 1 point.
• Points are capped at 150/week (for now).

Yes!

We have experiences like Tracks (unlock rewards as you advance through challenges) and Drops (time-sensitive limited products) so you can earn even more.

Any workout around a zone 2 or above should contain intensity minutes and earn points (heart rate around 110-115 bpm).

For Oura, heart rate data is not always available immediately upon completion of a recorded workout. Elevated heart rate and points data may not appear in Receipts (or may appear as 0) upon completion of an activity.

You should see this update within 24 hours, but if you are still seeing 0 points for a valid recorded workout, please reach out to our team (hello@receipts.xyz).

We sync data directly from the wearables and fitness trackers. If your workouts are correctly showing up in your device's app (Garmin's app, Whoop's app, etc.) and not showing up in Receipts, please send us an e-mail hello@receipts.xyz.

Heart rate data is something measurable across any activity or sport. You can run, swim, play pickleball, lift weights, surf, or dance - as long as your heart rate is elevated we know you're exercising and can reward you.

Wearables (watches, bands, rings) and heart rate monitors (chest straps) use biometrics that measure changes in blood volume or detect your pulse via electric signals emitted by your heart.

You can create an account with a phone number, and connect your wearable with a couple of taps.

We currently support Apple Watch, Garmin, Coros, Whoop, and Oura Ring with direct integrations.

We have plans to integrate directly with more wearables.

We only allow one wearable to be connected to Receipts at one time.

However, if you workout with multiple wearables, we have measures in place to dedupe workouts.

Just do your workout like you normally would, we got you.

Receipts is better with friends. You can refer friends with a unique link/code in settings.

You both get 100 bonus points after their first workout (with intensity minutes).

Points are currently capped at 150 per week.

That equates to 2.5 hours of intense workout time, as generally recommend by the World Health Organization, the American Heart Association, and longevity experts.

You can redeem points for exclusive offers to brands, race entries, drops, merch, gift cards, and more.

We have a global leaderboard of every athlete on Receipts, and it refreshes every 5 minutes. Leaderboards give a quick summary of workouts someone has done for this current week.

Our leaderboards reset every Sunday 11:59 PM ET, so every week you'll get a chance to be in the arena.

Yes, you can easily make your account private by tapping your avatar to go into Settings, tapping Preferences, tapping Privacy Settings, and checking Only Me.

By doing so, nobody will be able to view your profile/workouts and they won't appear on leaderboards.

Manually uploaded workouts won't be eligible to earn points.

Receipts receives data differently from each wearable (some are more detailed than others). We recommend recording workouts directly from the wearables themselves.

Devices without screens, like Whoop and Oura send the most detailed data to Receipts when workouts are manually recorded from their apps.

It's likely that you did a workout, but your heart rate wasn't elevated enough to be an intensity minute.

Please e-mail hello@receipts.xyz, let's chat.

We typically collect workout details (sport type, duration, pace, heart rate, etc.) so you can earn points and compete against friends, and physiological profile data (age, gender, etc.) so we can build more customized experiences for you.

You'll have the option to grant or deny access to this data (some features may not fully work as a result).

We're a small (but mighty) team based out of Brooklyn, Raleigh, and Vancouver.

We love to run, bike, lift, and flow.
