## What is LoadSense?

Understand how you feel today and prepare your next workout with personal context explained from your Apple Health data.

LoadSense brings recovery, sleep and training load together. See the available contributing factors, freshness and data limits before planning a session. Missing information stays missing instead of becoming a reassuring score.

EVERYDAY TOOLS, FREE
• Your daily state, contributing factors and indicator details.
• The workout simulator and its verdict, your journal and existing charts.
• Your daily context on Apple Watch, with sync status and data freshness.
• One complete preview of the seven-day load projection when enough data is available. It starts no subscription or free trial.

GO FURTHER WITH LOADSENSE PRO
• Compare projected load with and without your planned workout. Scenarios use explicit assumptions; they do not forecast recovery.
• Ask the coach about your available data, with dated sources and clear limits.
• Review your week with its period, real data coverage and up to three observations, plus extended trends.

Pro is available as an annual subscription, monthly subscription or lifetime purchase. Prices and terms appear in the app before purchase. A free trial is offered only when available and you are eligible. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled in your Apple account settings. Restore purchases in the app. Existing purchases and historical access are preserved.

HEALTH DATA PROCESSED ON YOUR DEVICES
No required LoadSense account, health backend or advertising tracking. Calculations, history and essential coach answers stay local. Essential answers work without Apple Intelligence; optional wording depends on device and system availability. Purchases and model preparation use Apple services. Your Health iCloud settings and voluntary exports remain under your control.

Requires iOS 18 or later. Apple Watch companion requires watchOS 11 or later. Available indicators depend on compatible Apple Health data and permissions. Apple Watch can provide sleep and heart-rate measurements; sensor availability varies by device.

LoadSense is a wellness tool, not a medical device. Scores are heuristic context, not a diagnosis, injury prediction or performance guarantee.

## Frequently asked questions about LoadSense

### What is LoadSense's daily recovery score based on?

LoadSense calculates your daily recovery score using data from your Apple Watch, including sleep quality, Heart Rate Variability (HRV), resting heart rate, SpO2, and recent training load. This provides a comprehensive view of your body's readiness.

### Does LoadSense require an Apple Watch?

LoadSense works best with an Apple Watch for full recovery analysis. It reads existing data from your Apple Health history, which is primarily populated by Apple Watch metrics.

### How much does LoadSense cost?

Your daily recovery score is free forever. Pro features, such as private coaching, trends, and advanced training load analysis, are available through a 7-day free trial, with subscription options starting at $2.99/month or $19.99/year.

### Is LoadSense private?

Yes, LoadSense is 100% private. Your health data never leaves your device, and no account or cloud sync is required. The app prioritizes user privacy and data security.

### How often is LoadSense updated?

The latest version of LoadSense is 3.0.6, last updated on May 19, 2026. Updates typically include new features, performance improvements, and bug fixes to enhance the user experience.

### What workout types does LoadSense track?

LoadSense automatically tracks over 80 workout types from HealthKit, including CrossFit, running, cycling, weightlifting, and swimming. This ensures all your training efforts are accounted for in your recovery analysis.

### What are the Pro features in LoadSense?

Pro features include a Private Coach for personalized insights, Recovery Drivers to identify factors affecting your recovery, 30-Day Recovery Trends, ACWR Training Load projections, CNS Tap Test for fatigue measurement, and multi-sport load breakdown.

### What is the age rating for LoadSense?

LoadSense has an age rating of 17+. This is likely due to the advanced physiological data and sports science concepts it utilizes, which are more relevant to adult users.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 3.4.0 — 2026-09-19

Prepare your next workout from Today and explore one complete seven-day load projection without starting a subscription.

New Pro weekly review with dates, data coverage and supported observations. The coach compares sleep and strain across available periods. Optional local weekly reminder.

Absolute wrist temperature is no longer mistaken for a personal deviation. Historical data is preserved and calculation versions stay separate. Siri shortcuts open the app without returning health data. Existing access remains protected.

### 3.3.3 — 2026-09-15

Restores eligible early users’ Pro access after reinstalling. Purchase restoration now distinguishes a temporary verification problem from no purchase found. Improves recovery from interrupted or stalled health-data refreshes while preserving cached data.

### 3.3.2 — 2026-09-13

Today displays your health indicators without waiting for optional coach wording. Refreshes preserve the current view while loading and ignore results from cancelled loads.

### 3.3.1 — 2026-09-10

Today displays your health indicators without waiting for optional coach wording. Refreshes preserve the current view while loading and ignore results from cancelled loads.

### 3.3.0 — 2026-09-07

Energy Bank now rebuilds a depleted morning reserve from the latest completed Sleep score, or Recovery when Sleep is unavailable. It also recalibrates legacy zero values, and only today's workouts count toward today's Strain. During a refresh, the current scores remain visible while a quiet calculation animation runs. Fitness now uses the same Energy Bank value as Today, and sparse trend charts and metric cards are easier to read.

Set up a session in the simulator and LoadSense now draws what it does to your next seven days: two curves on one chart — the week without that session, and the same week with it — the peak your acute:chronic ratio reaches, and the day it comes back down. Under it, the best of those seven days for that same session. When you have less than four weeks of recorded load, both are shown as a range instead of a false decimal.

Those two are what LoadSense Pro adds in 3.3.0, and Pro now comes three ways: monthly, an annual plan that opens with a 7-day free trial and shows its monthly equivalent next to it, or a one-time lifetime purchase for anyone who would rather pay once and never see a renewal again. The three sit on one screen, shown exactly once at the end of onboarding; everyone else finds it in Settings.

The session simulator itself, its verdict, the estimated energy cost, the week grid, today's five scores, the current ratio, daily entry, the Journal and the Apple Watch companion stay free. Anyone who used LoadSense before 3.2.0 keeps every feature at no cost, the two new ones included.

The optional tip jar is gone from Settings, and tips already sent remain valid. Settings also gains a small link to the other apps by the same developer.
