LIRIN connects your Oura ring, Apple Watch, habits, tasks and workouts into one AI brain and delivers a sharp morning brief every day before you start. Try Pro free for 7 days. Most fitness apps live in silos — one tracks recovery, another your runs, another answers questions. LIRIN is the one AI layer that reads everything and tells you what to actually do. OURA RING — NATIVE INTEGRATION Connect your ring directly to LIRIN. Readiness, Sleep and Activity flow in natively through Oura's own API. The Momentum card reads all three together, with a tap for an AI breakdown of what they mean today. Body temperature deviation from baseline. A calibration tracker counts each metric down while a new ring learns you. Guided Apple Health setup adds your Oura workouts and heart rate, with zone analysis on every session. DAILY AI BRIEF Every morning LIRIN reviews your sleep, HRV, recovery, workout plan, habits, nutrition and tasks, then delivers a 3-sentence brief with one clear action, straight to your lock screen. Like a coach, doctor and chief of staff reviewing your data before you wake. LEVELS & BADGES Earn XP for showing up. Climb 100 named ranks across 10 tiers, Starter to Legend, unlocking a collectible badge at every level. Full-screen level-up celebrations, a badge gallery and share cards.

BODY READINESS SCORE A proprietary 0-100 score combining HRV, resting heart rate, sleep quality and respiratory rate. Know how hard to push before you lace up. AI COACH (PRO) Not a generic chatbot. Your coach knows your recovery, HRV vs baseline, body goal, fitness level, today's workout and whether you finished it, your nutrition, habits, at-risk streaks and illness signals. Talk or type, with voice check-ins and mood detection. RECOVERY METRICS HRV fingerprint with your personal 30-day baseline. VO2 Max sparkline. Training load (ATL:CTL). Body Alarm illness early-warning. Sleep staging with apnea signals. Energy Reserve. Your recovery ring shifts color with your state.
