MyFitnessPlan is now HomeWorkoutHero. Same app, new name: updating keeps all your plans, videos and progress.

The app is now called HomeWorkoutHero, everywhere you see it: the window, the header, Settings › About, the TV app and the installers.
Nothing to move. An install from before the rename keeps using its existing data folder, so it opens on the same plans, Log and settings. On a Mac, delete the old MyFitnessPlan app from Applications once HomeWorkoutHero opens.
Old files still work. Plan files and profile backups made with MyFitnessPlan import and restore as before. Files made with HomeWorkoutHero need HomeWorkoutHero to open them, so if you share a plan, the other person should update too.
The TV app keeps working. The MyFitnessPlan TV app connects to HomeWorkoutHero as before, and the new TV app installs over it as an update.
The website is now homeworkouthero.com and the guide bigdeckit.gitbook.io/homeworkouthero, both linked from Settings › About.
A new, easier-to-read logo in the header: the mascot with HOME / WORKOUT / HERO stacked, as on the website.

YouTube videos play with YouTube's own controls, including its full-screen button, captions, quality and skipping ads, so full screen behaves exactly as it does on YouTube.
The close button, title and Loop sit in a strip above a YouTube video instead of over it, and the loop settings open there too. "Up next" sits below the video.
During a rest between loops the countdown takes the video's place, and full screen closes so you can see it.

Pumpkin Patch, a new dark theme: a dark background & pumpkin-orange accents. Pick it in Settings › Appearance.

Install over your current version. Nothing needs migrating, and your plans, profiles and settings carry over as they are.

This build isn't code-signed, so Gatekeeper will say the app
"is damaged and should be moved to the Trash" — it isn't actually damaged.

After
installing, run this in Terminal:

xattr -cr "/Applications/HomeWorkoutHero.app"

Then open it normally. (Or right-click the app → Open, instead of double-clicking,
and confirm the dialog.)
