## What is SportVitals?

Turn your Apple Health data into clear, practical guidance for recovery, sleep and training.

SportVitals brings advanced fitness insights to iPhone and Apple Watch without another wearable or recurring subscription. Your core health calculations and explanations run on device. No account, ads, third-party analytics or developer-operated cloud.

KNOW WHAT YOUR BODY IS READY FOR

• Daily Readiness
A 0–100 score that combines sleep, recovery time, HRV status, stress history and training load so you can choose between hard training, easy work and rest.

• All-day energy and stress
Follow how rest, sleep, activity and physiological stress change your energy through the day, with detailed intraday charts.

• HRV status
Track overnight RMSSD against your personal 21-day baseline and see whether your recent trend is balanced, low or outside your usual range.

SLEEP WITH CONTEXT

Use Sleep Score, sleep stages, efficiency, fragmentation, schedule consistency, Sleep Bank and circadian guidance to understand both last night and your longer recovery pattern.

TRAIN SMARTER OVER TIME

• Training Load and Status using TRIMP, ATL, CTL, TSB and ACWR
• Exertion and a daily target adjusted to your recovery
• Recovery Time, Training Focus and personalized heart-rate zones
• VO₂ max insights for running and cycling, Endurance Score, Hill Score, Race Predictor and Lactate Threshold
• Detailed workout history, routes, heart-rate zones, running dynamics and cycling power when available

MORE THAN A DASHBOARD

• Educational Biological Age estimate with the factors that influence it
• Morning and evening reports
• Customizable dashboard and metric order

### 5/5 — Great app love the work

*2026-08-24*

Développer has been very helpful

**Developer response:** This is a known bug from Apple. The blood pressure data gives that. If you are missing data or getting this blank screen, the only way to re-enable the permissions is to manually guide iOS to allow it.

You can do this through either of these two paths on your iPhone:
Settings > Privacy & Security > Health > SportVitals
OR: Open the Apple Health App > Profile (top right corner) > Apps and Services > SportVitals
Once there, just make sure all the toggles are turned ON

### 5/5 — very good app(better than bevel) but problem with appel watch

*2026-08-23*

Hi,
After the latest app update, the Sport Vitals app no longer opens on my Apple Watch Ultra 1. When I try to launch it, it immediately crashes.
All other watchOS apps are working fine, and the issue started right after updating. I have already tried restarting the watch, reinstalling the app, and launching it in Airplane mode, but the issue persists.
 Device: Apple Watch Ultra 1 please fix

### 5/5 — Unusable

*2026-08-17*

Setup went fine. But I am now getting blank pages pop up upon opening the app which cannot be dismissed. App is unusable currently.

### 5/5 — Great Alternative

*2026-07-24*

Elegant, streamlined alternative to the other contenders in this category. More data than bevel (without pro), simpler presentation than Athlytic, no nag screens or other nonsense. Great price, no subscription.

### 5/5 — 일단 일회성 결재라서 마음에 듭니다

*2026-07-20*

버그만 잘 다듬으면 workoutdoors 같은 앱이 될거 같아요

### 5/5 — Legit!!

*2026-07-09*

Metrics are similar to many of the “big box” apps out there but only a one time purchase of $5! Also Luka is super interested in hearing feedback from the community on Reddit and making the app better each day! Supporting this guys was an easy choice!

### 5/5 — Extra 10/10

*2026-07-03*

Perfectly accurate calculation

### 5/5 — Very well structured app with many important metrics

*2026-07-02*

The app has all the essential metrics of Garmin and whoop. It also has more metrics and cost less than Athlytic app and other apps lika Cora, Fitiv , Sonnar. The dev did a great job and it would be nice to see app improvement continuously over time. Great work dev!

### 3/5 — Nice looking app

*2026-07-01*

There should be a bug report feature so users can give you input on issues. My race predictions are wildly inaccurate, otherwise it looks like a decent app.

**Developer response:** Hi, in the next version will be available a bug report feature. Moreover there will be a fix for race predictions.
Thanks for the support :)
