Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey is on an app-building spree. After releasing a Bluetooth-based messaging app called Bitchat earlier this month, this weekend Dorsey revealed another app called Sun Day that ostensibly helps users track UV exposure and Vitamin D intake.
Like other developers, Dorsey is riding the vibe-coding bandwagon. But instead of using Cursor, Claude Code, or Windsurf, he says he is using an open-source coding tool called Goose.
Sun Day is simple to use. It shows you the UV Index for your location along with details like cloud cover, sunrise, and sunset timings. You can choose your skin type from six options, and what kind of clothing you’re wearing. Based on these parameters, the app will calculate how long you can expose your skin to sunlight before it starts to burn.

The app also shows your minimum vitamin D intake. Start a session by tapping on the “Track UV Exposure” button, and after the session is ended, the app will show how much vitamin D you’ve gained throughout the session, and in the day.

Best budget fitness trackers for 2025
Xiaomi
Tracking type: Heart rate, sleep, stress, blood oxygen, women’s health | Supported Operating System: Android 6.0 and above, iOS 12.0 and above | Memory: 100GB | Screen size: 1.62” | Waterproof: 5ATM water resistant | GPS: No | Battery life: 16 days
The Xiaomi Smart Band 8 stood out on many fronts — it not only has the easiest interface to navigate when recording workouts, it also has the most comfortable band to sleep in. This device has pretty much everything you would expect on a fitness tracker, and it comes at a price that’s hard to beat. The 1.62-inch, 192 x 490 pill-shaped AMOLED display is full color and shines pretty bright both indoors and out. Although it doesn’t have a physical navigation button, you can move through the UI by swiping up and down, or left and right.
The Smart Band 8 is quite comfortable, but what really made it secure the top slot is how detailed its workout reports were. Unlike some of the other trackers we tested, the Smart Band 8 does not require you to download any exercises from its companion app. Meaning, you can get right into tracking exercises as niche as skiing. When a workout is complete, you get all the information you’d want on your wrist – from heart rate readings to pace and speed, to calories burned and more. It may sound basic, but some of the other trackers we tested only report step count and distance traveled after a walk. The amount of time spent in each heart rate zone will appear in your summary, from light, intensive, aerobic to anaerobic.
Xiaomi’s tracker also has a unique “Pebble” mode, which allows you to clip on the tracker to shoelaces using a special case to gather running and cycling data. Using Pebble mode, you can get a better breakdown of how you performed during a sprint -– namely stats like flight ratio and ground contact time, along with general information about your running form.
The tracker was easy to fall asleep with because of how lightweight and comfortable it is. The do-not-disturb feature is easy to turn on from the watch face and I didn’t have any issues with the screen waking me up at night. The sleep insights after wearing it overnight impressed me with their detail. Right on my wrist, I was able to learn how long I slept and also got a detailed sleep graph that showed me when I was in light and deep sleep. This was all free, on my wrist and it was further broken down for me in the Mi app. I also was able to gather information on my average HR during sleep and my breathing patterns.
Also, importantly, Xiamo’s impressive battery claims checked out – the Smart Band 8 only needs 30 minutes on a charger before being fueled up for about two weeks of use. I never worried about not being able to track my activity or sleep.
Tracking type: Heart rate, sleep, stress, blood oxygen, women’s health | Supported Operating System: Android 7.0 and above, iOS 12.0 and above | Memory: 2.3GB | Screen size: 1.47” | Waterproof: 5ATM water resistant | GPS: No | Battery life: 18 days
The Amazfit Band 7, like the Xiaomi Band 8, has all of the workouts you can track pre-loaded on your wrist. It also has a unique interface that allows you to set a custom goal, like burning 500 calories, before starting a workout. Plus, it features a generous 18 days of battery life (or more if you enable battery-saver mode).
The Amazfit band has a special scoring system called PAI, which stands for “Personal Activity Intelligence.” This metric is derived from your heart rate during all activities (even ones that don’t involve tracked workouts) and gives you a numeric score from 1 to 100. You want to get your score as close to 100 as possible, through workouts and rest, to keep your overall heart health strong. Like the Xiaomi Smart Band 8, the Amazfit Band 7 gives a user a breakdown of their overall heart rate zone activity on the watch face.
The watch also has a unique “one tap measure” that gives you insights into your heart rate, blood oxygen levels and even a stress score based on your heart rate variability.
There are some downsides to the Band 7, though, namely that it is considerably slower than the Xiaomi Smart Band 8 when it comes to starting and ending exercise sessions. It also does not have a physical navigation button, making it sometimes hard to exit a page. That would have been something I could have overlooked if the watch’s display had been a bit on par with the Xiaomi Band 8’s. Despite having an AMOLED color display, the Band 7’s screen was sometimes hard to view even indoors.
It does get brownie points for being a bit more comfortable to sleep in than some of the others we tested, but it still takes some getting used to. If you do sleep with the Band 7 for a week though, you can get an in-depth sleep analysis about your susceptibility for conditions like sleep apnea. The caveat is that you need to pay a premium for this more detailed sleep report. Through the Zepp app (formerly Amazfit) you can pay $10 monthly or $50 annually for a premium subscription, which also includes meditation content and an AI sleep coach.
Tracking type: Heart rate, sleep, stress, blood oxygen, women’s health | Supported Operating System: Android 10.0 and above, iOS 15.0 and above | Memory: 6.4GB | Screen size: 0.7” | Waterproof: 5ATM water resistant | GPS: No | Battery life: 10 days
I expected more out of the Fitbit Inspire 3 because, well, it’s Fitbit. Also, considering it’s the most expensive tracker on the list, you would think you would get more. The tracker does serve its purpose -– it can record your workouts. However, only 6 kinds of activities can be tracked at a time. To add more niche exercises like a weight-lifting routine, you need to open the Fitbit app and swap one exercise widget for another. It does give a rudimentary breakdown of your calories burned, heart rate, and all of the things you would normally want to get in a performance report. In comparison to the Fitbit Charge 6, the Fitbit Inspire 3 doesn’t boast a built-in GPS, so you have to take your phone with you to accurately record pace or distance.
One thing I do appreciate about the Fitbit Inspire 3 is its Active Zone Minute breakdown after a workout is tracked. This is a feature unique to Fitbit that calculates how hard your workouts were and how much fat you burned in the process. The app does a good job of breaking down other health metrics during exercise and can tell you how much recovery you need before your next workout. It’s nice to have that information, but the fact that you need to pull out your phone to get deeper insights can be a nuisance.
The Inspire 3 also does not allow you to directly log menstrual cycle data on it, whereas the Xiaomi Band 8 and Amazfit Band 7 do. The battery life on this tracker is on par with what the company says, though. It charges to full in under 45 minutes and dies after about 10 days of use. So in between tracking workouts and gathering sleep data, I did not have to worry much about missing a night of sleep tracking to charge it overnight. The Fitbit Inspire 3 is comfortable to sleep with, maybe even slightly more comfortable than the Amazfit Band 7, but the fact that its sleep coaching is only available for premium Fitbit subscribers does take away from the appeal.
Pros
Supports Active Zone Minutes tracking
Good battery life
Comfortable design
Cons
Cannot manually add menstrual cycle data directly from the band
All of the best fitness trackers should have at least three features: a program for activity tracking, the option to monitor and collect data about your sleep patterns and the ability to do things like heart rate monitoring and blood oxygen level tracking (though, the readings might not be super accurate). Don’t set your sights too high and expect metrics like blood pressure monitoring or ECG support; for that, you’d need to invest in a more expensive fitness watch or wearable like a Samsung Galaxy Watch, which falls under the best smartwatches category and will set you back over $400.
Fitness features
A cheap workout tracker can be great for someone looking to keep tabs on small, achievable goals like 10,000 steps before sundown or 30 minutes of a HIIT workout to get your heart rate peaking. An experienced long-distance runner looking to train for a triathlon might opt for a more expensive device that can measure cadence or ground contact time, and can track more customizable workouts, offer different sports modes or give deeper insights into performance data.
At the very least, a budget workout tracker should be able to offer fitness tracking features beyond walking and running — otherwise, it would just be a pedometer. The number of activities a device will recognize varies. Some will get funky with it and consider skateboarding a workout, while others won’t be able to track a jumping jack.
At this price point, you can expect a device to measure a mix of cardio, machine workouts and strength training. With each, you might get a numerical or visual breakdown of heart rate activity, overall pace, and calories burned per session. Although some cheap trackers can offer a really good overview of heart rate zone activity during a workout, a more technically advanced device might be able to go a step further and explain what your results mean and coach you on how to keep your heart rate in a specific bracket so that you can burn more fat per workout. I found that the more budget-friendly the device, the more likely it is that a tracker will fall short when it comes to smart counseling or offering predictive insights beyond a given workout. If a budget tracker does happen to offer some semblance of a coaching program, you can expect it to sit behind a paywall.
Workout tracking and planning your recovery is just as essential to any fitness journey. A sub-$100 device should be able to tell you how long you’ve slept and provide a breakdown of deep, light and REM sleep patterns. It’s not a guarantee that you will get a sleep “score” or insights on how to get better rest — that data is usually found on more expensive wearables. Also, because these trackers aren’t designed for bedtime specifically — be mindful of comfort. The bands and watch face on a budget fitness watch may not be ideal for getting some good shut-eye.
Connectivity and practicality
Not all of the best budget fitness trackers are designed to seamlessly integrate with a smartphone. The trackers tested for this roundup can’t directly make calls or send texts to contacts on a paired iPhone or Android smartphone. They can, however, display and dismiss incoming calls and notifications via a Bluetooth connection. You can forget about checking your email or paying for a coffee from your wrist using these more affordable devices.
Most cheap fitness trackers also won’t include built-in GPS tracking. Instead, they usually depend on a paired smartphone to gather location data. The drawback of using a fitness tracker without GPS is that it might not provide as precise for tracking distance or pace. You also can’t use a budget tracker to get turn-by-turn directions during a walk or while running errands. For the more outdoorsy consumers, having GPS could be a key safety feature if you want this kind of functionality at your fingertips.
Design
You also might find that an inexpensive fitness tracker is harder to navigate than a more advanced smartwatch. Whether it be a screen size issue or simply not having a smart enough interface, don’t expect every feature to be one that you can engage with directly on your wrist. You’ll likely need to use your phone to input data or access detailed wellness metrics.
Build quality will also vary. While you won’t get premium materials or ultra-bright OLED screens, most best cheap fitness trackers include some level of sweat and water resistance — perfect for everyday wear and casual workouts. And for those starting out with basic gadgets to support their fitness journey, these affordable trackers offer a great balance of essential features without the hefty price tag.
Other budget fitness trackers we tested
Amazfit Bip 6
The Amazfit Bip 6, an $80 smartwatch from Zepp Health, didn’t quite make the cut. As a fitness tracker, it’s decent, but it’s a frustrating smartwatch substitute. For workouts, the built-in GPS tracks runs and rides without your phone and, combined with the heart rate and blood oxygen sensors, collects a good amount of data to create accurate pictures of your exertion levels, cadence and pace. It’s remarkably lightweight but doesn’t feel cheap and the AMOLED screen is bright and sharp. It’s not an always-on display, but lifting your wrist wakes it reliably.
The sleep tracking data is on par with what we measured on other smartwatches and there’s even a daily readiness score that compares your sleep quality and the previous day’s exertion to estimate how physically prepared you are for the day ahead — similar to what Pixel Watches, Fitbit devices and Garmin watches offer. And since the watch battery lasts for over a week on a charge, you may be a lot more apt to wear it to bed than a watch you have to charge daily.
We weren’t expecting an $80 device to be a serious Apple Watch challenger, but the Bip 6’s glitches and overly complicated interface (both on the app and on the watch itself) were disappointing. During a week of testing, I got multiple repeated notifications, even after they were deleted, along with suggestions to stand when I was actively doing chores around the house. The watch faces are not customizable, so it was hard to get the info I needed at a glance (the Zepp app has lots of paid watch faces that may have what I wanted, but I didn’t want to pay $3 for something that’s free elsewhere).
Marketing details state that the Bip 6 can auto-detect workouts, including walking and bike riding. During testing, I walked once or twice per day for over one mile and went on two bike rides, but no workout was ever detected. The watch integrates with Apple Health, so I was able to see how it compares to the data my Apple Watch gathers. After a week of wearing the Bip 6, with no changes to my daily routine, I averaged 400 fewer calories burned and 2.4 fewer miles tracked each day. That was possibly the biggest disappointment of all. — Amy Skorheim, Senior Reporter
Wyze Watch 47c
I didn’t have high expectations of the Wyze Watch 47c, but I was shocked at how little this tracker can do. The 47c can only track walks and runs. It has a dedicated widget, a small logo of a man running, and when you tap it, it begins measuring your pace, heart rate, calories burned and mileage. It does not auto-detect or auto-pause workouts and it doesn’t differentiate between a run and walk. Most importantly, this device can’t track any other exercises. It’s basically a glorified pedometer.
The 47c was also my least favorite to sleep with, mainly because the square watch face is so large and heavy. Even if I did manage to sleep through the night with it on, it only gave me a basic sleep report. — M.S.
Garmin vivofit 4
The Garmin vivofit 4 has a tiny display that is not a touchscreen and all navigation happens through one button. The watch face is impossible to read outdoors and the exercise widget is also very finicky. To start tracking a run, you have to hold down the main button and flip through some pages until you get to a moving person icon. Once there, you have to press the bottom right corner of the bar and hold down and if you press for too long or in the wrong spot, it’ll switch to another page, like a stopwatch. It’s incredibly frustrating.
Once you start a run though, it will start tracking your steps, your distance — and that’s pretty much it. It does not auto-detect or auto-pause workouts. It doesn’t alert you of any mileage or calorie milestones. — M.S.
What about fitness rings?
While smart rings are gaining popularity for health tracking, they generally don’t fall into the “budget” or “cheap” price range. A smart ring like the Oura Ring offers features such as sleep monitoring, heart rate tracking and readiness scores in an ultra-compact form factor that fits on your finger instead of your wrist. These rings are best suited for people who want discreet, all-day health insights without wearing a traditional watch or band — but with prices typically starting above $300, they’re more of a premium option than a budget-friendly pick.
Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7 is an impressive jump for the company’s book-style foldable, delivering a needed upgrade and some major improvements. But if we’re looking to crown the biggest upgrade in foldable history, I think Google’s Pixel 9 Pro Fold still earns that title.
This issue of 9to5Google Weekender is a part of 9to5Google’s rebooted newsletter that highlights the biggest Google stories with added commentary and other tidbits. Sign up here to get it delivered to your inbox early!
The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is a major, overdue upgrade for Samsung’s foldable. It’s drastically thinner and now matches the best in the world, while addressing almost every other complaint from past generations. A better camera, a wider cover display, a bigger inner screen, etc. Save for the stagnant battery size, Galaxy Z Fold 7 is better in virtually every way.
The best foldables on the market for the past couple of years have been from the like of Oppo and Honor and, while they’re fantastic in their own right, they’re not sold in large portions of the globe, and their software experiences certainly aren’t appealing for a huge number of people. That’s why the Pixel 9 Pro Fold has been my daily driver, because my alternatives were either iffy software from those brands, or underwhelming hardware from Samsung.
Samsung deserves a lot of credit for the year-over-year upgrade Fold 7 is delivering, but I think Google still deserves more credit for its work last year.
Moving from the original Pixel Fold to the the Pixel 9 Pro Fold was effectively like if Samsung had skipped directly from the Galaxy Z Fold 3 all the way to the Fold 7. Google’s first device was surprisingly good for a first attempt, but it had some clear downsides in that rough inner display, constant overheating issues, and the unorthodox form factor. Google addressed quite literally of that with the sequel, with Pixel 9 Pro Fold delivering the form factor everyone wanted with its big display, traditional cover screen aspect ratio, and improved chipset. Samsung is similarly addressing a ton of issues, but the issues on last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 6, and even the Fold 5 before that, weren’t nearly as impactful as the ones Google was dealing with.
To put it succinctly, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is a device full of refinement, where Pixel 9 Pro Fold was a complete reinvention.
Is that to say Samsung’s upgrade is somehow bad or underwhelming? Not at all! As a customer, I’m thrilled, but I also want to acknowledge that Google, despite its inexperience, did more last time around.
That said, Google is preparing to launch Pixel 10 Pro Fold with little to no major improvements. I don’t think that matters much, really, as the Pixel and Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7 will have enough differences to still give each other some healthy competition. Samsung has a more impressive form factor, but Google (probably) has a more affordable price. With $200 separating each other, these devices can absolutely coexist without stepping on each other’s toes. Of course, that wouldn’t be a problem anyway, considering we’re talking about a tiny portion of the smartphone market in the first place, and then talking about one of the smallest (but growing) players in that market.
What do you think?
Pre-orders for the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Flip 7, and Galaxy Watch 8 are now open through Samsung.com with up to $1,100 in trade-in values, plus an additional $50 in Samsung credit when you order through 9to5Google’s links below, but that credit only applies if you check out within 30 minutes.

Android gets new “Canary” releases
Google is changing up how new Android releases drop (again), with new “Canary” releases that will launch more frequently. They’re not as directly tied to a specific Android version, but they are bringing changes already.
Dear Eric: Six months ago, new neighbors moved onto our street. They fenced in the front and side of their corner lot and keep their large dog outside all hours of the day and evening. The dog barks constantly and all of us adjacent neighbors are extremely annoyed.
No one wants to say anything to them as otherwise they seem like nice people and were friends with some prior to their move. None of us understands how they can be so clueless, but the barking is becoming intolerable. What might we do?
—Want my peaceable street back
Dear Peaceable: I know it can seem like bringing up an issue like this with otherwise good neighbors can risk disturbing the peace, but, as you’re experiencing, the peace is already disturbed. So, now the good neighborly relationship is marked by resentment.
In the interest of resetting the balance, I’d encourage you to talk to the new neighbors, one on one. You can be clear about what things are like on your end, and what you need while still being kind.
It’s possible that they’ve grown so accustomed to the sound of the dog barking that they tune it out. By sharing your experience with them, you’re giving them a chance to be better neighbors to you and better dog owners to their pet, to boot.
There are plenty of solutions. Maybe the dog needs more stimulation to keep it occupied in the yard, maybe they can arrange for more indoor hours for the dog. If they are, as you say, nice people and have friends in the neighborhood, they’ll want to know that something they’re doing is creating such a problem.

Meta has acquired Play AI, a startup that uses AI to generate human-sounding voices.
A Meta spokesperson has confirmed the acquisition, according to Bloomberg, which also reports that an internal memo stated that the “entire PlayAI team” will be joining the company next week. (TechCrunch has also reached out to Meta for confirmation.)
Meta’s memo reportedly said that PlayAI’s “work in creating natural voices, along with a platform for easy voice creation, is a great match for our work and road map, across AI Characters, Meta AI, Wearables and audio content creation.”
The company has been making big investments in AI, including aggressive recruiting from OpenAI and a deal with Scale AI that saw the company’s CEO Alexandr Wang joining Meta to lead a new group focused on superintelligence.
NASA’s Parker Solar Probe made history with the closest-ever approach to the sun last December, and we’re finally getting a look at some of the images it captured. The space agency released a timelapse of observations made using Parker’s Wide-Field Imager for Solar Probe (WISPR) while it passed through the sun’s corona (the outer atmosphere) on December 25, 2024, revealing up close how solar wind acts soon after it’s released. The probe captured these images at just 3.8 million miles from the solar surface. To put that into perspective, a NASA video explains, “If Earth and the sun were one foot apart, Parker Solar Probe was about half an inch from the sun.”
The probe got an unprecedented view of solar wind and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) during the approach, which could be invaluable for our understanding of space weather. “We are witnessing where space weather threats to Earth begin, with our eyes, not just with models,” said Nicky Fox, associate administrator, Science Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters. After completing its December flyby, the Parker Solar Probe matched its record distance from the surface in subsequent approaches in March and June. It’ll make its next pass on September 15.
It seems that Samsung is building out a new alternative to Android Auto called “Auto DeX” which supports a car-optimized UI, and might even work when your car doesn’t support it.
It was shown earlier this year that “Samsung Auto” exists for certain markets, primarily China, as an alternative to Android Auto. But, apparently, Samsung has an expanded option in the works.
Self-proclaimed “One UI geek” @GalaxyTechie discovered a new feature in Samsung’s software called “Auto DeX.” The feature is said to support “8,500+ car models” from over one hundred brands and has an Android Auto/CarPlay-like UI. There’s a central dashboard that seems to show a map with a music playlist shortcut to the right side above a music control widget. To the far left, a vertical taskbar shows the time, a list of apps, and an app drawer shortcut. Apps shown include Bixby, a map app, a music app, and Samsung’s Phone app.
Notably, the screenshot also shows a second taskbar at the bottom of the screen with Samsung’s three-button navigation. Presumably, that maty have something to do with the mention that Galaxy Techie claims you can use “Auto DeX” “with some tricks” on your phone even if your car doesn’t support it or if you “don’t have a car.”

Update 7/13:In a new thread, @GalaxyTechie shows this experience further in-depth, and also says it is a combination of “Samsung Auto” and DeX, rather than a new product entirely. This is why you can see two taskbars at once, but you can hide the DeX taskbar if you wish.
The new screenshots further include additional settings such as light and dark themes, the ability to change you wallpaper, and options for changing the widgets on the dashboard. The background color of apps changes to match the wallpaper.
There are a lot of questions around this, including when such a feature would debut, where it would be available, and what kind of app support it would have. But, assuming we’re reading this right and you can run this on your phone’s display, this would be a welcome replacement for the “Android Auto for Phone Screens” experience that Google shut down a few years ago.
What do you think of “Auto Dex” based on this first peek?

One Elon Musk business might be making a big investment in another.
According to a Wall Street Journal report that cites investors close to SpaceX, the company has agreed to invest $2 billion in Musk’s AI startup xAI. The investment would reportedly be part of the $5 billion equity raise (along with another $5 billion in debt) that Morgan Stanley announced at the end of June.
This would be SpaceX’s first investment in xAI, and one of its biggest investments in another company. The WSJ says SpaceX already uses xAI’s chatbot Grok to power customer service for its Starlink internet service, with plans for more partnerships.
Another hot streaming deal is here to match the summer heat. This time is comes from Paramount+, which is offering a two-month subscription for only $2. Put another way, you’ll pay $1 per month for your first two months — but the deal is only valid through today, July 13.
The kicker for this deal is that is applies to two subscription tiers: you can either choose the ad-supported Essential plan or the ad-free Premium plan and the deal price remains the same. That means new subscribers will save $14 on the standard price of the Essential tier, or $24 on the price of the Premium plan.
It also hosts original programming like the Sonic-adjacent Knuckles TV show and the dad-friendly Tulsa King. Paramount owns CBS, so subscribers can also access much of that network’s programming. This includes stuff like The Amazing Race, Blue Bloods and several CSI entries.
Keep in mind that subscriptions will auto-renew if you forget to cancel. Set a reminder to kick in at the end of the second month if you want to avoid that.
