Make the connection between progressive overload and recovery. Havyu is the AI coach that does it for you. It analyses every set, rep and load you log against your sleep, steps, protein and daily habits, then shows you what's driving your muscle growth and what's holding it back. No generic advice: every insight is grounded in your own data. Train. Recover. Overload. YOUR COACH, ALWAYS ON Havyu analyses your data the moment you log it, and it's one tap away in every session. Tap the logo between sets and ask about the lift in front of you: ◆ Is it safe to go heavier? A clear call to increase, maintain or ease back, judged on your recent sessions, the sets you've completed and how recovered that muscle is today. ◆ How's this going vs last time? Today's sets against your last session on the same lift. ◆ Am I recovered for this today? Time since you last trained that muscle and the sleep you logged, in one answer. Every answer comes from your numbers, with the evidence shown, so you always know why. RECOVERY DRIVES GROWTH Muscle growth (hypertrophy) comes from two things working together: progressive overload, adding a little more weight or reps over time, and the recovery that lets your body adapt. Push without recovering and you stall. Recover without pushing and nothing changes. ◆ Coaching Spotlight links your recovery to your performance. It shows when short sleep early in the week lines up with a flat session on Friday, or when a run of hitting your protein lines up with your best lifts. ◆ "Have you…?" check-ins: every day Havyu asks about the habits that support growth outside the gym (sleep, protein, water and the ones you choose) and you answer in a tap. ◆ Steps and body weight fill in automatically from Apple Health, and finished workouts save back. ◆ Daily, weekly and monthly views show where recovery slipped, before it costs you a session. ACCOUNTABLE, EVERY SESSION ◆ Havyu remembers what it told you last time, and shows whether you followed through. ◆ Progressive overload tracked on every lift, with weekly volume by muscle group. ◆ Pre-workout briefings and post-session reviews, built only from your own history. ◆ Streaks that reward the days you showed up, in the gym and out of it. TRAIN ◆ Log a set in seconds, with controls you can read across the gym floor. ◆ Voice logging for when your hands are chalked up. ◆ Routines, supersets, a multi-week scheduler, kg or lbs. ◆ Exercise library with demos, variations and muscle anatomy. ◆ Bring your history with you: import a CSV export or spreadsheet, and undo any import in one tap. PRIVATE BY DESIGN ◆ Offline-first: workouts save instantly to your phone, no signal needed. ◆ Your history lives on your device. Nothing reaches the AI without your explicit consent, and you can withdraw it at any time.
