Step-by-step: from movement to Ovi Points
Four simple steps turn your active lifestyle into daily progress.
STEP 1
Move & Log
Log qualifying workouts, import from Strava, or upload an Apple Health export.
STEP 2
Hit Targets & Earn OVI
Complete daily targets to earn Ovi Points in your wallet. Daily cap: 15 OVI, or 25 OVI with a Zone 3+ workout (heart rate imported from Strava or an uploaded export) or the Daily 2x Boost. Streak and milestone bonuses are extra.
STEP 3
Unlock Badges & Build Streaks
Fill your trophy cabinet and build daily streaks. Group challenges with coaches are coming.
STEP 4
Perks Are Coming
Partner and coach perks will be added as the network grows.
Fair Play: Every workout goes through server-side plausibility checks. Impossible activity earns nothing, and unusual activity is reviewed by a person.
Log your effort. Earn OVI.
Choose from 72 non-step activity types across six conversion groups, plus eight step-based options. Qualifying imported heart rate, the Daily 2x Boost and workout stacking can increase activity earnings within your limits.
Heart rate & effort multipliers (Early Access)
5 zones · up to 2.0x OVI
Earn more for higher intensity. Heart rate comes from Strava, manual entry or an uploaded export. Zone multipliers of up to 2.0x apply only to heart rate imported from Strava or an uploaded export; manually entered heart rate earns at the standard rate. To earn the bonus from Strava, you need a heart-rate device recording to Strava. Heart rate is not read automatically from a watch or the Health app.
10 000 steps in Zone 3 (70–79% Max HR)
= 15.00 OVI
Multi-sport activity equivalents (Early Access)
72 non-step activity types across six conversion groups
Log a supported workout, import from Strava or upload an Apple Health export. The 72 non-step activity types across six conversion groups convert to step equivalents and base OVI. Eight step-based options are counted separately: 80 activity choices in total.
| Activity | Duration | Steps | Base OVI |
|---|---|---|---|
Court & field sports Padel, tennis, netball, soccer High · Zone 3–4 | 30 min | 3 000 | 3.0 |
Functional fitness HIIT, CrossFit, calisthenics, cardio High · Zone 4–5 | 30 min | 4 000 | 4.0 |
Cycling & spinning Outdoor ride, indoor cycling, MTB Moderate · Zone 2–3 | 30 min | 2 500 | 2.5 |
Swimming & Paddling Pool laps, open water Moderate to high | 30 min | 3 000 | 3.0 |
Strength & conditioning Weightlifting, powerlifting, resistance Moderate · Zone 2 | 45 min | 2 500 | 2.5 |
Mind & body / core Yoga, pilates, core, mobility Low to moderate | 45 min | 1 500 | 1.5 |
Tap rows to estimate a day of stacked sessions. Partial sessions are pro-rated, so 30 minutes of pilates gives a base of 1 000 step equivalents and 1.0 OVI, before checks and earning limits.
Daily 2x Boost Timer: “Power Hour”
One activation per day · 20 minutes
Activate the Daily 2x Boost in the app before your workout. For 20 minutes, qualifying activity earns double OVI, subject to earning limits.

Preview only. The live boost runs inside the Ovitoz app.
Workout stacking & activity earnings
Qualifying sessions share a daily limit: 15 OVI standard, up to 25 when eligible
Stack supported workouts in the same day. Each session contributes a pro-rated amount, subject to activity checks and earning limits. All activities share one daily ceiling: 15 OVI standard, or up to 25 OVI with qualifying Zone 3+ heart rate imported from Strava or an uploaded export, or a valid Daily 2x Boost. Streak and milestone bonuses are separate from this daily ceiling.

Estimate your daily activity OVI
Preview a simple daily activity estimate: 10 000 qualifying workout steps equal 10 base OVI. All activities share a daily ceiling of 15 OVI standard, or 25 with qualifying imported Zone 3+ heart rate or a valid Daily 2x Boost. This preview treats Zones 1 and 2 at the base rate and applies a chosen boost to the whole estimate. The app uses the recorded imported heart-rate zone and only the active 20-minute boost window. Rounding, earlier activity today and the weekly limit of 150 OVI can lower actual credit.
