Quickbit - A fast way to log your activities

[Ryzord]

Hey everyone!

My team and I are big fans of Fitbit. Since we sit at computers all day (who doesn't), we've been using Team Challenges to compete for weekly steps. It's a great start, but we also wanted to track our hyrdration, swimming, and bike rides. Since we're a team of developers, we decided to create a small app to do just that!

QuickBit is a Google Chrome extension to easily record water consumption and common exercises. Read a little more on our blog post.

Since we find it useful, we've decided to share it with everyone! 

Take a look and let us know if you have any questions or feedback. We would love to hear from you; just push the "Feedback" button in the extension or visit our site.

Hi.... Not sure if I got the right info. Is this QuickBit, part of FitBit? Also if someone signs up for this, does it record the info to the FitBit Dashboard, or do we need to go to another site to do our input? Also, does it ONLY have the HYDRATION, BIKING, AND WALKING? Or does it have all the the things we need such as calories, a food log etc. I guess if I get the answer to the first part of this question, the rest is redundant. Just wondered, if you could do this, why is it that FitBit, can't??? Seems other important features could be added just as easily. Just curious. Also is there a charge for this and if yes, what is the cost?

Hi Gabi, 

Great questions! 

QuickBit is not part of Fitbit, but we are an app that makes logging your water and exercise easier. 

When someone signs up, they can set their common activities and drink size options. After that, a single click enters the activity or water consumtion to your Fitbit profile. No need to log into your Fitbit Dashboard. 

Our team loves walking, running, bike riding, hiking, swimming and drinking water; so those are the only activities we created to start. Are there other activities you would like to see added? The possibilities are endless, but we wanted to get this out to the community so everyone could start using it right away! It would be awesome to talk about the other actions you would like to start recording. Give us feedback through the app, visit our company landing page, or we can keep the conversation going in this forum! 

Finally, QuickBit is free! So install it and give it a try. 

If you have any other questions, feel free to reach out! 

Thanks!

Hey Missy, 

We just released QuickBit for Fitbit. It's an easy way to track your exercises and hydration with Chrome without logging into your Fitbit profile. 

We are always working on new projects, so if you have any suggestions or questions, let me know! We may have some updates to QuickBit by the time you are back in November.

So check back then,

 Thanks!
