Healthy Hints is a free hobby app for players of Archipelago multiworld randomizer games. It turns walking into hints: every few thousand steps you take earns a hint, which you can spend to find out where an item is in your game.
What it does
- Reads your daily step count from Google Health (read-only), or you can type it in by hand.
- Turns steps into earned hints, with a daily limit set for each room.
- Asks the Archipelago room for a hint when you spend one.
How your data is handled
Healthy Hints collects health and fitness data (your daily step count) to enable one feature: earning hints. The app runs on your own computer. Your step count is stored only on that computer and is never sent to the developer, to the Archipelago server, to the room host or to other players. Only hint requests (a player name and an item name) go to the Archipelago room. Read the full privacy policy.
The use of information received from Google Health API and/or Developer Tools will adhere to the Google Health API Developer and User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
Status
Healthy Hints is an unfinished hobby project, currently shared with a small group of friends. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Google, Fitbit or the Archipelago project.
