RecoverySync turns the data your wearable already records in Apple Health while you sleep into one simple recovery score β every morning, before you train. WHY RECOVERYSYNC β’ One-time purchase. No subscription, ever. β’ 100% on-device. Your health data never leaves your iPhone. β’ No account, no email, no tracking. β’ Built with only Apple's native frameworks β zero third-party SDKs. THREE SIGNALS, ONE SCORE Each morning, RecoverySync reads three signals from Apple Health: β’ Heart Rate Variability (SDNN) β 50% of your score β’ Resting Heart Rate β 30% of your score β’ Sleep Duration β 20% of your score HRV and resting heart rate are compared against your personal 28-day baseline, and sleep against your own goal, to produce a clear daily score from 0 to 100: β’ HIGH (76-100): Your body is ready to push. β’ MODERATE (51-75): Train mindfully β listen to your body. β’ LOW (0-50): Prioritize rest and recovery today. You can adjust the weighting of each metric to match your training style. RecoverySync also turns your score into action: a daily training-intensity recommendation and tonight's sleep target, based on your recent sleep debt. New: a free Exertion card compares yesterday's active energy with your own previous 28 days, so you can see how hard yesterday was next to how well you recovered. WHERE YOU'LL SEE IT β’ iPhone Home Screen widget (small, medium, lock screen) β’ Apple Watch complication (circular, rectangular, corner) β’ Apple Watch app β’ Optional morning notification REQUIREMENTS β’ iPhone running iOS 17 or later β’ A wearable that writes heart rate variability, resting heart rate and sleep to Apple Health β for example Apple Watch Series 4 or later (watchOS 10 or later) β’ The device must be worn while you sleep PRICING The daily recovery score and 7-day trends are free. A single one-time purchase unlocks daily training and sleep targets, 28-day trends, and CSV export. No subscription, no recurring charges. PRIVACY RecoverySync does not collect, transmit, or share any personal data. All recovery scores and preferences are stored on your device using SwiftData.
