What Neurable users are saying: “Apple's AirPods Pro 3 aren't the only headphones that integrate health-tracking features into audio devices. But while Apple focuses on calories, steps, and heart rate, Neurable's second-generation MW75 Neuro LT headphones track your focus, mental recovery, and cognitive strain.” – ZDNet "The MW75 Neuro LT does not try to control your brain. It gives you a dashboard for it. You get a realistic view of when to push, when to pause, and how to structure your day so work feels less like a grind and more like a plan. At $499, it is a premium buy, but it is not just another pair of pretty headphones. It is a practical way to make attention visible and then make better choices as a result." – Gear Diary "Imagine a morning ritual involving a "two-minute cognitive snapshot" to understand your brain's readiness for the day ahead – I mean, yes please! I do want to know how set up for the day my most valuable asset is (it's my mind, no matter what anyone says) and get a handle on what Neurable calls my "cognitive energy budget" for the day, if you will." – TechRadar "And this lighter, more affordable model could be the device that finally brings BCI out of the lab and into the mainstream.” – Wearable “The Neurable brain data is much more accurate and believable than other wearables I've used. When I saw my Mental Recovery score, it felt pretty close to my actual quality of sleep.” – Neurable MW75 Neuro user Privacy Policy: https://www.neurable.com/app/privacy Terms of Service: https://www.neurable.com/app/tos Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy: https://www.neurable.com/app/health-privacy

performUp is the training app for athletes who have more data than answers. Most fitness apps track your workouts. performUp understands your body — combining an AI Coach, AI Physician, and AI Sports Scientist in a single conversational interface that adapts your training to who you actually are. YOUR TRAINING PLAN SHOULD KNOW YOU Generic plans don't know that your HRV dropped this week, that you're on beta blockers, that your left knee has been flaring up, or that you have a race in 10 days. performUp does. Every recommendation is built around your complete picture — training load, health data, medical context, and life. BUILT FOR SERIOUS RECREATIONAL ATHLETES performUp is designed for HYROX competitors, marathon runners, triathletes, and multi-sport athletes who train seriously but don't have a personal coaching team. If you've ever felt like you have all the data but no one to interpret it — performUp was built for you. WHAT MAKES performUp DIFFERENT - Medical intelligence built in. performUp is the only training app that accounts for your medical history, medications, and health conditions when building your plan. Training on beta blockers? Recovering from injury? performUp adapts. - A real conversation, not a dashboard. Ask your AI team anything — "why did my performance drop after my best training block?" or "I just got sick with a race in 3 weeks, what do I do?" — and get a specific, science-backed answer. - Data that means something. performUp connects with Garmin, Apple Health, and other wearables to turn your raw metrics into actionable guidance. HRV, VO2 Max, heart rate trends, recovery scores — interpreted in plain language, not left as numbers on a screen. - Plans that adapt in real time. Life doesn't follow a 12-week plan. performUp adjusts when you're travelling, when your sleep tanks, when you pick up a niggle, or when you decide to enter a race in 6 weeks. WHO performUp IS FOR — HYROX athletes targeting a specific time goal — Marathon and ultramarathon runners who want more than pace zones — Triathletes managing complex multi-discipline load — Athletes over 35 navigating performance alongside real life — Anyone whose medical situation has never been accounted for by a training app performUp is not a beginner fitness app. It's for athletes who are already serious and want the intelligence layer that turns their data into performance. Join the waitlist and be part of the founding community shaping the future of intelligent training.
