## What is Autonomic?

See your nervous system actually recover.

Autonomic turns a heart rate chest strap, your Apple Watch, or even your finger over your camera into a full HRV lab in your pocket, then grades every reading against published research thresholds, so you know whether today was a good day or a warning sign.

Built for the long haul: long covid and post viral recovery, POTS and dysautonomia, ME/CFS, and anyone rebuilding their autonomic nervous system one day at a time.

Free to use, with no account, no ads or tracking. The journal is free forever. Features marked (Pro) below require Autonomic Pro, an optional auto-renewing subscription.

LIVE 5-MINUTE HRV, DONE RIGHT

• Capture beat-to-beat RR intervals live from a Bluetooth chest strap, Apple Watch, or with your iPhone's camera using your finger, no hardware required 
• A guided session with live heart rate and a paced breathing visualizer 
• Every metric computed on-device: SDNN, RMSSD, pNN50, mean RR, PNS & SNS index, stress index, VLF/LF/HF power, coherence, and more 
• One capture a day free; unlimited is Pro

EVERY NUMBER GRADED, NO BLACK BOX

• Every number is scored great / good / ok / warning / crash against real thresholds

• A live HR monitor for symptomatic moments 
• Every result lands in your phone journal automatically, graded like everything else

BUILD YOUR PROTOCOL, KEEP YOUR STREAK

• Clean days build a streak, with your longest run and a 30 day consistency rate

TRACK EVERYTHING THAT MOVES THE NEEDLE

IMPORTANT: Autonomic is a personal wellness journal and education tool, not a medical device, and it provides no medical services: it does not diagnose, treat, or prevent any disease. No external hardware is required; compatible chest straps are general-purpose consumer fitness accessories using the standard Bluetooth heart-rate profile, not medical devices, and require no regulatory clearance for use in any region. Always discuss protocol or medication changes with your doctor.
