About

Varia reads your heart rate variability (HRV) and heart rate with your iPhone's camera. Rest a fingertip on the lens for about a minute each morning. No wearable needed. Each scan becomes your HRV Score: one number for today, measured against what's usual for you. At a glance, you'll know whether today is above, within or below your own normal. WHAT YOU GET • Your HRV Score Today's reading against your own usual, which learns from your scans and moves with you over time. • A scan you can see working Watch your pulse come in beat by beat, then see your HRV and heart rate the moment it's done. • Trends that make sense Your last 7 days, 30 days and 12 months, each day set against your usual. Short notes point out what stands out, like your best morning in weeks. • Every morning at a glance A dot for each day you've scanned over the past year, brighter on the better days. • A Home Screen widget Today's score, right where you'll see it first. • Apple Health Save your heart rate and HRV to Health, alongside the rest of your data. • A gentle daily reminder One nudge each morning, at the time you choose. • Learn as you go Short, clear articles on what HRV is and how to read your score. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No accounts, no ads, no tracking. Your readings stay on your iPhone, and only go to Apple Health if you choose. Varia is for general wellness and information only. It is not a medical device and is not intended to diagnose, treat or prevent any condition. Camera readings can be affected by movement, finger pressure and light, and may not always be accurate. If you have any concerns about your health, please talk to a doctor.

What's New in Varia

2.0.1

October 14, 2026

What’s New in Varia 2.0.1 Varia 2.0 is a complete redesign, and 2.0.1 makes it better for everyone coming from earlier versions. New in 2.0.1 • A fresh baseline for updaters. Varia 2.0 measures HRV more precisely than earlier versions, which read high, especially on low days. Your score now compares only 2.0 readings, so good mornings no longer show up as low. Your earlier scans are still kept under See all scans. • Very low HRV readings now count, instead of the scan starting over. • Export your scan data. Settings › Your data now shares your last 14 scans, beat by beat, with all your readings, as one file. Handy for handing over to AI agents and doing your own research. Varia 2.0 • Your HRV Score: one number each morning, measured against your own baseline, which Varia learns in five days. • A new home: your day’s reading in moving strands of light, your last 7 days, and your HRV and heart rate against your baseline. • A new scan: more precise beat detection, guidance that adapts as you get the hang of it, and a clearer result. • Trends: week, month and a full year, with insights on how your baseline changes over time. • Widgets: your score on your Home Screen, with a nudge when it’s time for today’s scan. • Apple Health: Varia now saves HRV as well as heart rate. • Morning reminders that repeat every day. • Personalized articles on what HRV is, how Varia works, and how to improve it. • Support for the latest iPhones. • A short film about what’s new, in Settings.
