Install in 4 steps
The app is distributed as an APK file, so Android needs permission to install it from outside the Play Store.
Download the APK
Tap the Download APK button above on your phone (or download on a PC and copy the file over via USB / cable).

Settings → Apps → Special access → Install unknown apps, choose your browser or file manager, and enable Allow from this source.Open the file and tap Install

Launch Health Quest, answer three quick setup questions (your goals, activity level and main struggle) and allow notifications, Usage Access and Health Connect when asked so reminders, screen-time and step sync work.
From a PC with USB debugging: run adb install health-quest-v4.34-debug.apk. Updating from an older version keeps your data; installing over it just works.
App tour
Every screen answers one question, and everything saves as you go.
Today
How am I doing, and what's next? Your score and grade, the four category bars, one suggested next action you can tap, a glass that fills as you log water, a sleep timer button, and four buttons to log a meal, steps, sleep or weight.
Log · Food
Each meal lists what you ate with its time. Tap Add on a meal to pick foods, repeat yesterday's meal or reuse a favourite. Fasting, calories and drinks sit underneath. Water, and any drink you log in a meal such as coffee or juice, count toward an estimated daily goal based on your weight, and never affect the score.
Log · Move
Steps (synced from Health Connect, or typed in), plus switches for a post-dinner walk and an exercise session.
Log · Sleep
Start the timer at bedtime and stop it when you wake. Screen time is deducted automatically. Times, quality and notes are under Edit details.
Progress
Week gives you one thing to fix. Month is a colour-coded calendar — tap a day for full detail or share it as an image. Trends has the charts, meal insights and all-time stats.
Weight
Log daily weight and watch the trend line approach your target: 7-day average, change vs last week, and 30d / 90d / 1y views.
Profile
Your level and XP, the next badge you are closest to, today's and this week's goals, and every badge you have earned.
Settings
The gear on Profile. Four groups: you, scoring rules, food & AI, and reminders & data (Excel export and JSON backup).
How scoring works
Every day starts at 0 and builds toward 100. You earn points for what you actually did — the score is honest, not flattering. The maximums below are the defaults; setup adjusts them to your goals.
| Category | Max | Earned by |
|---|---|---|
| Diet | 35 | Points per food and portion; junk food and dinner after 9 PM take points off |
| Fasting | 10 | 12 h minimum, 16 h target (dinner → breakfast) |
| Workout | 35 | Steps, post-dinner walk, exercise |
| Sleep | 30 | Bedtime, effective hours (after screen time), wake time |
| Calories | 10 | Staying near your calorie target, once body details and food nutrition are set |
| Bonus | +10 | Near-perfect or perfect day |
| Score | Grade |
|---|---|
| 90–100 | S Outstanding |
| 80–89 | A Excellent |
| 70–79 | B Great |
| 60–69 | C Good |
| 40–59 | D Below target |
| < 40 | F Needs work |
Steps curve (default)
| Steps | < 5,000 | 5,000 | 8,000 | 10,000 | 18,000+ |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Points | 0 | 7.5 | 15 | 18 | 28 (max) |
The step targets shift with the activity level you pick in setup. All targets, maximums and penalties are editable in Settings → Scoring rules.
Gamification & coaching
Progress is meant to feel rewarding, not like a spreadsheet.
100+ badges
Seven categories — Consistency, Nutrition, Fitness, Sleep, Comeback, Hydration, Elite — plus hidden badges and three combination badges. Habit badges can be earned again and again.
Levels & XP
Every logged day earns XP from your score, and so do daily and weekly goals. Level up and keep a streak alive (quality days count).
Reminders at your level
Choose Quiet, Standard or Coach. Standard sends at most three a day (bedtime, dinner and one nudge); Coach adds step check-ins and daily trend alerts. Everyone gets the weekly and monthly summary.
AI health summary
Optional. Add a free API key in Settings and generate a per-day diet / sleep / workout brief with tomorrow's priorities. Without a key, everything else still works.
FAQ
Where is my data stored?
Only on your phone, in the app's local database. Nothing is uploaded. Use Settings → Export & backup to save a JSON file and restore it on a new device.
Do I need internet?
No. Only the optional AI features (health summary and food lookup) need a connection.
Why does Android warn me during install?
The APK is a debug build shared outside the Play Store, so Play Protect doesn't recognise it. Only install it from a source you trust.
Steps aren't syncing — what do I check?
Make sure Health Connect is installed and that Health Quest has permission to read Steps. Sleep screen-time deduction needs Usage Access enabled for the app.
Reminders don't fire on time.
Allow notifications and exact alarms, and set battery usage for Health Quest to Unrestricted on phones with aggressive battery savers.
Can I export my data?
Yes — Settings has a full Excel export (scores, diet, workouts, sleep, weight) and a JSON backup.
