Bodio: Your Personal Health Companion. Bodio is your personal health tracker that helps you understand how your body feels beneath the surface. It tells you when to push, when to rest, and how to stay balanced — based on real data, not just gut feeling. Bodio is a wellness app built for Apple Watch users who want a smarter, clearer way to understand how their body feels — and why. By syncing seamlessly with Apple Health, Bodio helps you track and decode your daily recovery, energy, stress, and sleep in one place. It combines this data into a single Readiness Score — a simple, powerful number that tells you whether your body is ready to take on the day or needs more recovery. Whether it’s hidden stress, overtraining, poor sleep, or low energy, Bodio gives you a clear picture of your current state so you can: - Know how recovered you are. - Track stress and body energy. - Improve sleep quality and night recovery. - Plan your workouts smartly. - Avoid burnout and stay in sync with your body. You’ll see how sleep, strain, and recovery interact to shape your overall well-being, and get actionable tips based on your actual body signals. Whether you're trying to avoid burnout, optimize workouts, or finally fix your sleep, Bodio helps you tune in to what really matters. Use the built-in Daily Journal to log how you feel and what affects you — like stress, caffeine, late dinners, or mindfulness — and see how these habits influence your scores over time. With Apple Watch widgets, you can check in on your body at a glance. Keep track of your Readiness, Recovery, Stress, and more — all from your wrist, without even opening the app. Bodio offers a wide variety of health widgets to fit every style and need, compatible with all Apple Watch models. And for deeper insights, explore the Biology Panel. It shows real-time metrics such as heart rate, HRV, energy levels, and stress trends, helping you identify patterns and hidden imbalances before they become a problem. Bodio is more than just a health tracker — it’s your daily guide to living with more balance, energy, and clarity. Join a growing community of people who care about their well-being and want to feel better every day. Need help or have questions? Contact us at support@appbodio.com.

About

Rouse

Rouse reads your own Apple Health sleep data — live — and plans a wake-up window for tomorrow morning, tuned to your personal sleep-cycle length. Never a generic 90-minute rule: Rouse calibrates to you, and keeps updating as new sleep data arrives. WHAT ROUSE DOES • Learns your personal sleep-cycle length from your recent nights. • Suggests tonight's bedtime and predicts tomorrow's wake-up window — always with a plain-language confidence indicator, no false precision. • Updates live: as Apple Health receives new sleep data, your window quietly refreshes. • Shows your sleep cycles for any night, honestly framed (consumer stage estimates are approximate). • Tracks wake-time regularity — one of the best-evidenced levers for better mornings. • Evidence-based sleep-hygiene guidance. ROUSE PREMIUM (optional subscription) • Live gentle wake — a soft, in-window escalation on iPhone or Apple Watch, never a jarring alarm. • Confidence-ranked alternate windows (the earlier and later cycle boundaries). • Morning check-in — rate your mornings and Rouse tunes your window from your own data. • Sleep-debt awareness — your own sleep need, your current shortfall, and an earlier-bedtime nudge to recover. • Chronotype & social jet lag — estimated from mid-sleep on your free days. • Full Sleep Regularity Index — the minute-by-minute two-week SRI from the research literature. Monthly or yearly (7-day free trial on yearly). Payment via your Apple ID; cancel anytime in Settings. HONEST BY DESIGN Rouse is a personalized planning tool, not a medical device. It doesn't diagnose anything and never promises a "perfect" morning. Your sleep data is processed on your device and never leaves it. Requires sleep data in Apple Health (e.g. from Apple Watch).
