## What is Betterest?

The laptop's closed. Your head isn't.

Betterest helps you end the workday on purpose, and finds out what really recharges you. A few taps a day, nothing to scroll.

How it works
• Done with work? One tap on Done ends your workday, and your work apps rest until tomorrow's check-in.
• How much is left in the tank? Empty, Low or OK.
• One idea for tonight that fits your energy. Swap it once, or take a night off: that counts too.
• Next morning, one question: did it refill you? One tap, 1 to 5.

Learn what recharges you
From your own ratings, Betterest learns which activities give you energy back and which only feel like rest. Every average comes with the number of evenings behind it, and says "early signal" while there are only a few.

Work apps rest
Choose your work apps in Apple's Screen Time picker. From Done they rest until the next workday's check-in, weekends and days off included. Something urgent? Wait ten seconds, then you get 15 minutes.

Your week
A day is work-free when your work apps stayed shut. Set a weekly goal, watch the week fill up, and get a short recap every week. Four weeks with a finish line: week 1 measures, then you set your goal, and day 28 shows your month.

Half-time
If you like, one idea for your lunch break as well, with work apps resting while it lasts. Working through lunch is one tap, never a miss.

Apple Health
If you allow it, Betterest reads your sleep and heart rate variability from Apple Health and shows them next to your evenings. It only reads, and Health data never leaves your phone.

Private by design
No account, no login. What you enter stays on your iPhone. Anonymous usage data, never your name or anything you type, helps improve the app; one switch in Settings turns it off.

Start from ideas in six kinds (get moving, get outside, wind down, get absorbed, make something, people) and add your own.

Betterest is a wellbeing app for everyday tiredness. It is not a medical device and gives no medical advice.
