## What is Root?

Traditional sleep apps give you arbitrary scores that often create more anxiety than clarity.

Root takes a different path. Built by Slow Bloom Studio, Root is a gentle, non-judgmental dashboard for your Apple Watch health data. We believe in tracking your body's personal baselines, not comparing you to a global average. Root translates complex health metrics into quiet, actionable insights so you can anchor in rest and grow at your own pace.

Key Features:
- Personal Baselines: Understand your HRV, resting heart rate, and wrist temperature offset against your own 30-day average. See exactly when your body is balanced, elevated, or recharging.

- Context Tags: Sleep doesn't happen in a vacuum. Log daily habits (like late screen time, yoga, or a heavy meal) and use the Patterns lens to see how they actually correlate with your night's recovery.

- Trends: View 14-day and 30-day moving averages that reveal your body's true seasonal shifts.

- Morning Readiness: Wake up to a simple, beautifully designed "Organic Light" dashboard that visually translates your body's echoes into a serene morning greeting.

Privacy First
All computation is strictly on-device. Root reads your Apple Health data to generate insights, but your data never leaves your iPhone.

Deep roots for a slow bloom.
