title: Your first workout description: From install to the celebration screen — the path most people take on day one.

Your first workout

Two minutes. No account, no permissions to grant — RhythmFit is designed so a new user can finish a complete workout before deciding whether to sign in.

What happens on first launch

1. A short onboarding asks your goal

   Three options: Improve performance, Learn movement, or Build a habit. The answer biases which built-in templates get recommended, but nothing locks you out — you can change your mind any time from Settings → Onboarding.

2. Health & Safety screen

   A one-page medical disclaimer. Tap I understand to continue. The same content lives later under Settings → About → Health & Safety.

3. A recommended workout appears

   Based on your goal answer. Common picks are a 6-minute Tabata, a 3-minute breathing primer, or a 10-minute mobility loop. You can also pick a different one from the Library.

4. Tap Start and the Execute screen takes over

   That's the big workout runner. A 3-second countdown plays before the first block. Phase name, time remaining, BPM, and the current color all update live.

5. Finish or skip — the celebration shows your stats

   Time on each phase, total duration, average BPM, and an option to save the session. Skipping never hides the celebration — it just shows a partial summary.

Permissions you'll be asked for

RhythmFit asks for permissions only when a feature needs them — not all up-front. The five you might see:

• Notifications — only if you set a workout reminder. Skip = no reminders, app still works.
• Microphone + Speech Recognition — only if you dictate to the AI create chat. Skip = type instead; Siri voice control still works.
• HealthKit — only when you start a workout with Apple Watch features or want to write sessions to the Health app. Skip = the live heart-rate display stays empty and sessions aren't saved to Health.
• Apple Music — only when you tap the music icon and choose the Apple Music source.
• Camera + Photo Library — only when you import a workout from a photo or PDF.
