Your body changes every day. Holiv follows it. Holiv is a wellbeing companion built on one idea: living with your body, not against it. No punishing red, no streaks to keep, no congratulations for eating less. Just what your body is asking for today, and gentle ways to answer it. YOUR DAY, UNDERSTOOD See exactly how your daily goal is built, layer by layer: your body, your rhythm, and whatever you actually move. Connect Apple Health and your steps and workouts adjust it on their own, without you noting anything. Hide the numbers entirely if you prefer. IN TUNE WITH YOUR CYCLE Your four phases follow your own cycle length, not a textbook 28 days. Each meal gets its own score for the phase you are in, and tells you what would nourish you right now. Slide through the days ahead and see the date you will be in each phase. Men and women in menopause get their own daily rhythm instead. EXPLORE WHAT YOUR BODY IS SAYING Thirteen common symptoms open instantly: what may sit behind them on the physical, emotional and energetic level, and gentle ways to explore. Acupressure, lymphatic drainage, herbal traditions, yoga, and a food angle. Wellbeing exploration, never a diagnosis. SOUNDS AND FREQUENCIES Twenty-one sounds and eight blends to help you unwind, at your own pace. They keep playing with the screen locked, so you can fall asleep to them. SCAN, AND KNOW Point your camera at a barcode and see what is really inside, scored for your goals, your allergies and your phase. The same product can score differently for two people. A COACH THAT KNOWS YOUR DAYS Ask about your energy, your cravings, your sleep. Holiv answers with what it already knows about you. Your conversation stays on your phone. RECIPES THAT SUIT YOU Ninety-seven recipes, free of refined sugar, filtered by what your body needs right now: your phase, your diet, your allergies. YOUR DATA IS YOURS Never sold. Never shared for advertising. Never used to train models. Holiv has no analytics and no tracking of any kind: nothing you do inside the app is measured. Export your data or delete everything, any time, right from the app. Holiv is a wellbeing app, not a medical device. It does not diagnose, treat or prevent anything, and it is not a contraceptive method. For anything that worries you, or that lasts, please see a health professional. YOUR PRIVACY MATTERS Your data is never sold. What you share stays yours. Holiv is a wellness and self-exploration companion. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. For any health concern, please consult a qualified professional. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
