How is your heart, really? Your Apple Watch records the answer every day. Thumpy reads that data and tells you what it means, in plain English. A REPORT CARD FOR EVERY WORKOUT Finish any workout and Thumpy grades how your heart handled it: how high it went, how long you spent in each zone, and the number that matters most, how fast your heart rate came down in the first minute after you stopped. Fast recovery is one of the most widely used fitness signals there is. You will watch yours get faster. YOUR STATUS EVERY MORNING Overnight HRV, resting heart rate, and sleep, read together against your own baseline: recovered and ready, right at your baseline, or a day to go gentle. No score to decode. Just the answer. TRENDS THAT MEAN SOMETHING Resting heart rate, heart rate variability, cardio fitness (VO2 max), walking heart rate, steps, active calories, exercise minutes, and the water you log, tracked over weeks and months, always compared to your own usual, never to someone else's chart. Personal records as they fall: your fastest recovery, your lowest resting heart rate, your biggest week. YOUR HEART'S WEEK, WRITTEN OUT Every Monday, a short report in plain sentences: what improved, what your sleep did to your mornings, and one small thing to try this week. BUILT FOR APPLE WATCH WEARERS Thumpy needs the heart data your Apple Watch records. No manual logging, no food diary, no chest strap. Wear your Watch, do your workouts, read your report cards. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your heart rate samples never leave your device. Thumpy reads Apple Health on-device, and the only thing it ever writes is the water you log. No account, no email, nothing to set up. EVERYTHING IN THUMPY IS PART OF THUMPY PRO Thumpy requires an auto-renewable subscription. Every feature described above, report cards, daily status, trends, and weekly reports, needs an active subscription or free trial to use. Start with a free trial, cancel anytime in Settings. Thumpy shows your own data and is not a medical device. It does not diagnose, treat, or prevent any condition.
