Onboarding Walkthrough

Onboarding takes about 2 minutes and sets up your personalized experience.

Step 1: Language

Choose your preferred language. AtomFitness supports:

• English
• German (Deutsch)
• Spanish (Español)
• French (Français)
• Italian (Italiano)
• Japanese (日本語)
• Korean (한국어)
• Portuguese (Português)
• Russian (Русский)
• Chinese (中文)

Step 2: Theme

Choose your visual preference:

• Light Mode — Bright, clean interface
• Dark Mode — Easier on the eyes in low light

You can change this anytime in Settings.

Step 3: Date of Birth

Enter your birth date. This is used to:

• Calculate your metabolic rate
• Provide age-appropriate recommendations
• Track your fitness journey over time

Step 4: Gender

Select your gender. This affects:

• Calorie calculations (metabolic differences)
• Protein recommendations
• Minimum calorie safety floors

Step 5: Unit System

Choose your preferred units:

The app converts between systems automatically.

Step 6: Height

Enter your height using your chosen unit system.

Step 7: Current Weight

Enter your current weight. This becomes:

• Your starting point for tracking
• The basis for calorie calculations
• Your first weight log entry

Step 8: Activity Level

Select how active you are on a typical day:

Be honest — overestimating leads to eating too much, underestimating too little.

Step 9: Create a Plan?

This is an important choice:

Yes, create a plan:

• You'll set a weight goal (lose, maintain, or gain)
• Get personalized calorie and macro targets
• Receive weekly adjustments based on your progress
• Track adherence to your goals

No, skip for now:

• Track meals and workouts without specific targets
• See totals without progress indicators
• You can start a plan anytime later from the Goals tab

Steps 10-13: Plan Details (if applicable)

If you chose to create a plan:

Fitness Goal:

• Lose Weight — Create a calorie deficit
• Maintain Weight — Stay at current weight
• Weight Gain — Build muscle with a surplus

Intensity (for lose/gain goals):

• Conservative — Slower, more sustainable (~0.5 lb/week)
• Moderate — Balanced approach (~1 lb/week)
• Aggressive — Faster results (~1.5 lb/week)

Target Weight:

• Enter your goal weight
• The app calculates how long it will take

Check-in Day:

• Choose which day of the week you'll weigh in
• Weekly check-ins adjust your macros automatically

Final Step: You're Ready!

After onboarding, you'll land on your personalized dashboard. Time to start tracking!

Your First Week

Here's what to focus on during your first week:

Day 1: Explore the App

1. Dashboard — See your overview widgets
2. Training — Browse the exercise library
3. Meals — Try logging a meal
4. Goals — Review your targets (if you have a plan)

Days 2-7: Build Habits

Tips for Success

1. Don't aim for perfection — Logging "pretty good" data is better than logging nothing
2. Use Quick Add — Tap + for fast meal logging
3. Browse exercises first — Get familiar with the library before creating workouts
4. Check your dashboard — It updates as you log more data

Your Trial and the Subscription

AtomFitness is one subscription — AtomFitness Premium — and it starts with a 7-day free trial. There is no free tier in this version: when the trial ends, the app asks you to subscribe before you can carry on using it. Your account settings and the legal pages stay reachable either way.

The trial

• 7 days, and one per account.
• You start it yourself, from the paywall. Nothing is charged to start it.
• It does not turn into a subscription on its own — nothing is billed unless you choose to subscribe.
• Everything is unlocked while it runs. There is no reduced version of the app to fall back to.

The subscription

It renews automatically at the price shown until you cancel, and you cancel it in your App Store account settings — not in AtomFitness.

When the trial ends

• Your data is kept, not deleted. Every meal, workout, weigh-in, recipe and photo is exactly where you left it.
• Subscribing brings all of it straight back. There is nothing to restore and nothing to re-import.
