## What is Vero?

Vero: Recovery & Readiness for the Watch You Already Wear

Most mornings, you wake up unsure. Push hard today, or take it easy? Vero reads your overnight HRV, sleep stages, and training load from your watch, then gives you one clear answer based on what your body is actually telling you, not generic advice.

YOUR DAILY SCORES
Every morning, Vero calculates four core scores:

Readiness (0–100): what to do today. Your daily go-or-recover signal, combining HRV, sleep, and training load against your personal baseline.
Recovery (0–100): how well you recovered overnight. Tiny changes in your overnight heart-rate rhythm reveal how thoroughly your nervous system recharged.
Sleep (0–100): your nightly recharge. Duration, deep sleep, REM, and efficiency rolled into one score that reflects how restorative your night actually was.
Strain (0–21): your cardiovascular load. Accounts for both intensity and duration across every workout and activity, so your scores reflect your real effort.

THE WHY BEHIND EVERY DIP
When your HRV drops, Vero connects it to the cause: yesterday's hard workout, last night's short sleep, or a pattern it's been watching all week. You stop guessing why your recovery moved and start seeing the patterns that actually drive it.

BUILT AROUND YOU
On Day 1, Vero pulls in up to 90 days of your existing watch data to build your personal baselines, so your scores are accurate from the start, not after weeks of waiting. From there, your baselines keep refining as you train, sleep, and recover. Vero doesn't compare you to population averages. It compares you to you.

ACTIVITY INTELLIGENCE
Each sport gets its own page with metrics that actually matter for that modality:

Running: pace, grade-adjusted pace, cardio fitness (VO₂ max), cardiac drift, 5-run trend summary
Cycling: weekly climbing, HR zone distribution, training stress
HIIT: interval count, hard-minute density, latest heart-rate recovery (HRR)
Walking: walking speed and step length with clinical thresholds, streak tracking
Hiking: 10% ramp-rule load warnings, grade-adjusted pace, climbing trends
Studio (yoga / Pilates / barre): per-session next-day HRV so you see which practices actually help recovery
Strength: effort percentage and recovery impact

WEEKLY INSIGHTS & TRENDS
Vero synthesizes your data into plain-language insights. It spots when your training load is building too fast, when sleep quality is dragging down recovery, or when you've hit a genuine fitness peak. Every Sunday, you get a weekly review you can share.

WORKS WITH THE WATCH YOU ALREADY WEAR
Vero reads from Apple Health, so it works with the watch you already wear. No new hardware to buy, no separate band to charge, no extra ecosystem to manage. The watch on your wrist is already collecting everything Vero needs.

YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS
Every calculation happens on your device. Your HealthKit data, personal information, and usage patterns never leave your phone. No analytics, no ads, no data sharing.

After your trial, continue with an Annual subscription, about five months free compared to paying monthly, or a monthly plan. Cancel anytime in Settings.

### 5/5 — 5 Stars – Game-changer for training smarter

*2026-05-19*

I’m a huge fan of Vero Recovery & Readiness. As someone who wears an Apple Watch daily and cares about actual performance and longevity, this app delivers exactly what I’ve been looking for.
The level of health data and insights it pulls together is impressive. It turns my HRV, sleep, resting heart rate, and training load into clear, personalized Readiness and Recovery scores from Day 1. Everything feels tailored to me instead of generic population averages, which makes the daily guidance genuinely useful.
I especially appreciate how it breaks down sleep quality, strain from workouts, and gives actionable morning insights without overwhelming me with raw numbers. The interface is clean, the calculations feel science-backed, and the privacy focus (on-device processing) is a big plus.
If you’re serious about recovery, training optimization, or just understanding your body better, download this app. It’s quickly become an essential part of my routine. Highly recommend!

### 5/5 — Awesome fitness app!

*2026-04-09*

Love that it pulls all the data in one place and is easy to read, navigate, and understand. The tracking is on point. Highly recommend for anyone, no matter where you are in your fitness journey.

### 5/5 — Finally a health app that actually makes sense of my data

*2026-04-01*

I’ve tried a bunch of health tracking apps and most of them just dump numbers on you without any context. Salus is different. It takes everything from my Apple Watch and turns it into something I can actually act on. The recovery and readiness scores feel genuinely useful, and the AI insights give me a nudge in the right direction without being preachy about it. Sleep breakdown is great too. The interface is clean and easy to navigate. Well worth it.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.0.1 — 2026-08-30

NEW IN 2.0.1
A brand-new app icon for a big new chapter.

Vero 2.0 is our biggest update yet. Your health data now meets you where you are: on your Home Screen when you wake, in the question you ask every morning ("why is my score what it is?"), and on the road to the race on your calendar.

TRAIN FOR SOMETHING
Pick your race, 5K to marathon, and Vero builds the road to it: base, build, peak, and taper, derived from your own training history. Setup takes under a minute, prepopulated from your last 8 weeks. There is no spreadsheet to obey: the plan speaks through the surfaces you already use, easier weeks arrive labeled, and your body always gets the final vote.

VERO REMEMBERS ITS OWN ADVICE
Each morning's suggested intensity is recorded before you train, and the next day Vero grades itself honestly. Sunday Review now opens by following up on last week's advice, and over time Vero shows what actually happens to your readiness when you take the easy days versus push through them.

SCORES THAT TELL THE TRUTH
Recovery now uses four honest tiers: Optimal (85+), Good (70-84), Moderate (50-69), and Poor (below 50). The Readiness green state is now called Ready, because 67 means cleared to train, not peak condition. Every surface agrees. No grade inflation.

WIDGETS
Readiness, Recovery, Sleep, and Strain on your Home Screen and Lock Screen, plus a dedicated Strain widget for training days. Check your morning readiness before you are out of bed. At midnight, yesterday's scores step aside so you never mistake old numbers for today's.

SLEEP THAT KNOWS HOW OLD YOU ARE
Deep sleep naturally declines with age. Vero now grades yours against age- and gender-adjusted targets. If you have been told for months that your deep sleep came up short, you may find out tonight that it was on target all along.

MEET YOUR BODY CLOCK
Vero learns your chronotype from the mornings when no alarm wakes you, and shows your natural sleep midpoint and ideal bedtime window. Your evening reminder now tells you when to be in bed, not just how long to sleep.

DAYLIGHT, CONNECTED TO YOUR SLEEP
Time in daylight now appears alongside your sleep, and Vero learns whether your sleep actually improves after brighter days. It tells you honestly, even when the answer is "no link yet."

SWIMMING, IN ITS OWN LANGUAGE
A dedicated Swim page that speaks swimmer, not runner: distance in meters, pace per 100m, SWOLF efficiency, total strokes, and your dominant stroke. Personal bests included.

PERSONAL RECORDS
All-time bests in running, cycling, hiking, walking, and swimming, seeded from your entire workout history. Record-setting workouts earn a trophy in your history.

FAIRER COMPARISONS
Insights now compare each session against your recent similar sessions, same distance range, hills accounted for. "8s/mi faster than your typical" is a real signal, not noise.

WHY THIS SCORE?
Tap your Readiness battery and Vero shows its work: where your capacity started this morning, what sleep debt or training drain cost you, and the numbers behind it. After a workout, you see exactly what it cost, plus tonight's sleep target and tomorrow's heart-rate ceiling.

OVERNIGHT OUTLIERS
When your overnight signals drift from your own normal, a calm card shows what Vero is watching, with the statistical work behind it. No alarmism, no diagnosis. Alerts are discreet, stay off your lock screen, and can be turned off entirely.

PRIVACY, HARDENED
Notification titles no longer show your scores, a new shield hides them in the app switcher, and Delete All Data now removes every trace. Your health data stays on your phone. No accounts, no servers, same as always.

AND MORE
Fitness age from your VO2max, HRV context for your age and gender, Today's Signals on the Insights page, weather on outdoor workouts, upgraded Trends with best and average stats, a tighter dashboard, and dozens of fixes backed by a new automated test suite over the scoring algorithms.
