Our clinical version of the app is intended for patients registered at a clinical service which has invited them to download the app to manage their condition remotely, complete assessments, and access support resources to improve their health and wellbeing, according to the individual serviceβs purpose. The app may also be used for research studies who register participants onto the app to take part in projects. If you are using the app as part of a service or project, a member of staff will provide users with their login details or instructions on how to sign up for the app. Please contact a member of staff at your service or project team for support if you get stuck.

Autophagy
Read full descriptionHide full description
Autophagy tracks the five practices most strongly linked to cellular renewal: fasting, exercise, cold immersion, sauna, and Reset Breathing. One daily score, one streak, one clean view of how often you actually do the things that matter. Free to use. No account, no sign-in. WHAT IT TRACKS - Fasting, in hours, with sensible scoring that caps so it never rewards extreme fasting - Exercise, calibrated per type, and optionally imported from Apple Health - Cold immersion, as a live timer - Sauna, as a live timer - Reset Breathing ONE DAILY SCORE Each practice earns up to 20 points a day. The default daily target is 42, and you can change it. The scoring rewards spreading your practice, not maxing out one thing. ON YOUR HOME SCREEN Add the Autophagy widget to your Home Screen or Lock Screen and today's ring, score and streak are one glance away, no need to open the app. APPLE HEALTH Connect Apple Health and your runs, walks and workouts import as exercise automatically, so your score reflects the training you already do. PREMIUM A subscription unlocks the deeper layer: - How your HRV lines up with your cold, sauna and fasting days - Your recovery markers, HRV, resting heart rate and VO2 max, alongside your practice - A plain-language weekly summary - The full practitioner library Premium is a subscription. Annual comes with a 7-day free trial; monthly bills straight away. A NOTE ON HONESTY This is a wellness tracker, not medical advice, and it does not measure autophagy. It tracks practices associated with cellular renewal. Talk to your doctor before starting any new fasting, training, or cold-exposure practice. PRIVACY Your logged sessions and any Apple Health data the app reads stay on your device. The app uses TelemetryDeck for anonymous, aggregate usage analytics, and Google Analytics for Firebase to measure app installs and advertising performance. Neither carries your name or account. Built by a practitioner who actually does the work. Made in England by Alamex Ltd. SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS Autophagy Premium is offered as a monthly or annual auto-renewable subscription. The annual plan includes a 7-day free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel in your Apple ID settings. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you buy a subscription.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Autonom at weekly against Autophagy's every 2 weeks. Autonom also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
