Most apps hand you scores and dashboards. Taper coaches you. ALL YOUR DATA IN ONE MODEL Taper pulls your workouts, sleep, and recovery straight from the wearables and apps you already use — no manual logging. Syncs with Apple Health and connects to Garmin, WHOOP, Oura, Hammerhead, Wahoo and intervals.icu. A PLAN THAT FITS AROUND YOU It shapes your goals into a structured, week-by-week plan that fits your real schedule — not a one-size-fits-all template — and reworks the week when life gets in the way. A COACH IN YOUR POCKET Taper reads every session you finish and remembers every conversation, so the coaching sharpens the more you train and talk. Ask why a workout felt the way it did, tell it your knee hurts, move Thursday to Friday — it answers, and the plan changes with it. Endurance and strength in one plan, not two apps. ONE APP FOR EVERYTHING Run, ride, swim — plus full strength, mobility, yoga, pilates, and any other endurance sports — programmed and coached. Taper reads sleep, HRV, and resting heart rate to know when to push and when to pull back. Native Apple Watch app. Taper provides general training and fitness guidance and is not a medical device or a substitute for professional medical advice.
