Lamplit vs Gyroscope
The Gyroscope alternative for people who just want their dashboard back
First, the record: Gyroscope didn't shut down — it's actively shipping. But in 2024 it consolidated everything into an AI-coaching membership around $29+/month, the Android app disappeared, and the affordable quantified-self dashboard its fans loved effectively ended. If you're one of those fans, this page is for you.

Why people look for a Gyroscope alternative
The pivot, in users' words: 'they've dramatically raised their prices and added a bunch of lifestyle/health AI features that I really don't care about… I'm fine to pay, just not hundreds per year.'
Android is gone: the Play Store listing no longer exists — Gyroscope is iOS-and-web only now.
Years of feature requests — API access, filtered exports, GPX — 'neither came through,' as long-term users put it.
'I just want my data visualization': the recurring review theme as coaching, tokens and paywalls accumulated.

Where Lamplit takes a different approach
The dashboard, at a dashboard price
Lamplit Pro is $5.99/month — in the 'about $100 a year' range displaced Gyroscope users name as fair — for wearable import, biomarker trends, analytics across nine domains, and a Longevity Score updated daily. Not $29–240/month coaching tiers.
Whole-life tracking, still
Steps, workouts, sleep, HRV via Apple Health / Health Connect, plus what Gyroscope never really had: journaling with prompts, mood, nutrition with photo logging, fasting, meditation and cycle — correlated together.
AI you opt into, not a pivot you didn't ask for
Lamplit has serious AI — but it's consent-gated, optional, and it cites peer-reviewed sources. Tracking and analytics work fully without ever talking to the Genie.
Honest about what's missing
Two things Gyroscope users mourn that Lamplit doesn't do: the places/travel timeline (Arc Timeline is the right home for that) and the artful public profile pages. If those were your reason, look there first.
Who Gyroscope is genuinely best for
- You want AI-led fat-loss coaching and will pay coaching prices for it
- You're deep in the iOS ecosystem and like the new direction
- Human + AI coaching accountability (Max tier) appeals to you
- You never cared about the old dashboard identity
Who Lamplit is best for
- You loved the one-pane-of-glass dashboard and the ~$100/yr price
- You're on Android — or want web, iOS and Android together
- You want tracking-first with AI as an option, not the product
- You want your data exportable and your mood, food and journal in the same graph
Other Gyroscope alternatives worth considering

Free, built in, and enough for basic step and sleep review.
Whoop

Switching from Gyroscope
Export your history at gyrosco.pe/export (one CSV per data type). Most of your automatic data — steps, workouts, sleep, heart rate — will flow into Lamplit anyway via Apple Health or Health Connect from your devices. For the travel timeline, the community's answer is Arc Timeline, not Lamplit.
