Sparmin

Sparmin — Spa & Thermal Session Logger Turn a sauna, bathhouse or thermal spa visit into a proper Garmin activity. Sparmin records your whole session as a FIT activity and times every place you spend time separately — each sauna, steam room, cold plunge, hydro pool, hot tub or lounger — so you finish with a clear per-activity breakdown instead of one shapeless block of time. How it works Open the app when you arrive and tap the activity you're starting. Sparmin begins timing it and shows your live heart rate, with the time of day on screen so you can keep track without leaving the app. Move to the next spot and tap it — the app switches automatically, with no gap. Step out between activities and it tracks that as transition time too. When you're done, stop the session to see a summary: total time, plus the time, visit count and heart rate for each activity, and your total transition time. The whole visit is saved to Garmin Connect as an activity. Started something by mistake? Discard the session instead of saving it. Your sessions in a browser (optional) Sparmin has a companion web app. Link your watch to it once — Settings, then Link account, then type the short code it shows into the website — and every session sends itself as you finish it. Nothing to export, no files to move around. - Sessions recorded away from your phone are kept and sent next time you open the app with your phone nearby. - The watch shows which account it is linked to, and can unlink itself. Remove it from your account in the browser instead and it notices, forgets the account and stops sending. - Sending never affects the recording. The activity is saved to your watch and to Garmin Connect first, and always. Entirely optional — ignore it and Sparmin works exactly as it did before. Nothing leaves your watch until you link it. After that, each session sends its times, stations and heart-rate figures. Your location is never sent (Sparmin doesn't record GPS at all), nor your name, nor the activity file itself. Full details: https://sparmin.scottlovegrove.co.uk/privacy Features - Records your whole visit as a Garmin activity, timing each spot separately (sauna, cold plunge, steam room, hydro pool, hot tub, loungers and more). - Live heart rate during the session, plus average and maximum heart rate for every activity in the summary. - Automatic, zero-gap switching when you move from one activity to the next, with separate transition timing in between. - End-of-session summary on the watch with a per-activity breakdown. - Discard a session you didn't mean to start, on touchscreen and button watches alike. - Customise your list: show, hide and reorder the activities you actually use, so the ones you visit are front and centre. - Optional companion web app: - Upload your exported sessions from Garmin for stats about your activities, or - link once, and your sessions send themselves. - Adapts to your watch — round or rectangular, touchscreen or buttons. Water-safe touch (touchscreen watches) Spa screens get wet, and warm droplets can fire off taps you never made — enough to start or switch an activity by accident. Turn on Water-safe touch in Settings and two things change: - Selecting an activity (or confirming the end of a session) needs a deliberate double tap of the same tile, so a stray droplet tap is ignored. - A touch-lock lets you disable the screen entirely for a full soak; the app shows a padlock while locked, and the physical Stop button still works, so you can always end the session. It's off by default. You can also move through the activity list with the physical buttons on a touchscreen watch — the thing you want when your hands and the screen are both wet. On button watches there's nothing to enable; the buttons are already splash-proof.
