Aura Fit es tu compañero diario de salud y bienestar. Combina datos de tu pulsera fitness, Apple Salud y un coach con inteligencia artificial para ayudarte a entender cómo tu cuerpo responde al entrenamiento, al sueño y al estrés del día a día. — ¿QUÉ HACE AURA FIT? — • Recovery Score diario: cuánto descansaste, cómo está tu sistema nervioso, qué tan listo estás para entrenar • Sleep Score: análisis completo de etapas (profundo, ligero, REM, despierto) con métricas tipo HRV nocturna y FC en reposo • Strain Score: cuánta carga acumuló tu cuerpo en el día según tus zonas de frecuencia cardíaca • Aura Age: indicador de wellness estimado a partir de tu frecuencia cardíaca en reposo, la regularidad de tus horarios de sueño y tu actividad de la semana • Insights personalizados: el coach IA te explica POR QUÉ tu recovery está bajo o tu sueño mejoró • Tracking menstrual integrado con efecto en tus métricas (opcional) • Modo Aura Care: si vivís en una residencia con dashboard activado, las métricas se sincronizan con el personal autorizado — SINCRONIZACIÓN — Aura Fit se conecta vía Bluetooth con pulseras compatibles QCBand (modelo H59) para captar datos continuos. También lee y escribe en Apple Salud (HealthKit), así que si usás Apple Watch, AirPods Pro o cualquier otro tracker compatible, todo queda unificado. — PRIVACIDAD ANTES QUE NADA — • Tus datos viven en TU iPhone, cifrados en Apple Keychain • Nada se vende ni comparte con anunciantes • No usamos identificadores de tracking publicitario • Cumplimos GDPR, HIPAA y la Ley 18.331 de Uruguay • Exportás todo en un click, cuando quieras — COACH IA AURA — Hablale a Aura en lenguaje natural: "¿por qué dormí mal anoche?", "armame un plan de entreno para esta semana", "¿qué comer hoy según mi recovery?". El coach combina la literatura científica con tus métricas para darte respuestas específicas. — PARA QUIÉN ES AURA FIT — • Atletas amateur que quieren entender por qué algunos días rinden más que otros • Personas que quieren mejorar su sueño y manejar el estrés • Familias que cuidan a un adulto mayor en una residencia con Aura Care • Cualquiera que quiera dejar de ver números crudos y empezar a entender qué significan — IMPORTANTE — Aura Fit es una app de wellness y fitness. NO es un dispositivo médico, no provee diagnósticos ni reemplaza la consulta con profesionales de la salud. Ante cualquier síntoma o preocupación, hablá con tu médico. Algunas funciones requieren la pulsera H59 vinculada. Sin pulsera y sin Apple Salud autorizado, algunas métricas aparecen vacías.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Aura Fit at none against Interval Timer's 7. Aura Fit also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). Interval Timer's advantage is device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price there is nothing between them.
