Know your body. Optimize your recovery. Built for Apple Watch owners. Varzo turns the heart rate, HRV and sleep data your watch already collects into insights about your recovery, sleep, strain and energy — all processed privately on your device. An Apple Watch is required. Varzo reads the data your watch records; it does not replace it. ON YOUR WRIST, AND AT A GLANCE • Apple Watch app — Recovery, Strain and Body Battery on your wrist • Watch face complications in four styles, so your recovery is there every time you check the time • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets on iPhone • Everything syncs from your iPhone automatically — nothing extra to set up AI-POWERED COACHING Personalized insights powered by Apple Intelligence. Get tailored coaching on your recovery, sleep, strain, and energy with all AI processing happening entirely on your device. On devices without Apple Intelligence, smart rule-based insights keep you informed. FOUR METRICS THAT MATTER • Recovery Score — Wake up knowing if your body is ready to push hard or needs rest. Calculated from your HRV, resting heart rate, and sleep quality. • Sleep Analysis — Go beyond hours slept. See your sleep stages, efficiency, and consistency to understand what truly restful sleep looks like for you. • Strain Score — Track your cardiovascular load throughout the day. Balance high-intensity training with proper recovery to maximize results. • Body Battery — Watch your energy level change in real-time. Start each day with a full charge and see how activity depletes and rest restores your reserves. SET GOALS THAT MOVE YOU FORWARD Create personalized weekly goals for workouts, steps, calories, hydration, and more. Track your progress with intuitive visualizations and stay motivated with daily insights. TRENDS & INSIGHTS View your 7, 30, and 90-day trends. Understand your personal baselines and see how your recovery, sleep, and strain evolve over time. PRIVACY FIRST — WE COLLECT NOTHING No analytics. No tracking. No accounts. No servers. Your recovery, sleep, heart rate and every other health metric are read from Apple Health, processed entirely on your iPhone, and never leave it — never uploaded, never stored in the cloud, never shared, never tied to an identity. AI coaching runs on-device using Apple Intelligence, so even your insights are generated privately. There is no sign-up, because there is nothing for us to store.

Pay once. No subscription, ever. Current turns your Apple Health data into a single daily recovery score — so you know whether to push hard or take it easy, every morning. Most days you're guessing how recovered you are. Current does the math for you. It reads your sleep, heart rate variability, and resting heart rate, then distills them into one number from 0 to 100 — a clear read on how much energy you're working with today. NO SUBSCRIPTION Recovery tracking usually costs $200-plus a year, forever. Current is a one-time purchase. No subscription, no account, no upsells, no ads. Buy it once and it's yours. NO EXTRA HARDWARE If you have an Apple Watch, you already have everything you need. Current uses the data your watch already collects. Nothing else to buy, charge, or wear. ON YOUR WRIST A full Apple Watch app computes your score on the Watch itself, from the Watch's own Health data — no iPhone required. Swipe through your score and guidance, your daily insights, and the full breakdown. A complication keeps it on your watch face. ONE SCORE, FULLY EXPLAINED - A daily score from 0–100, with a simple tier: Fully Charged, Well Recovered, Moderate Energy, Low Battery, or Depleted - Four sub-scores behind it — Sleep Duration, Sleep Efficiency, HRV, and Resting Heart Rate - Every card shows exactly what it contributed: "HRV: 38 of 45 pts." No black box - Open any sub-score for the exact inputs behind it - Personalized daily insights drawn from last night's data BUILT AROUND YOUR NORMAL Current learns your personal HRV baseline — the 60-day median of your overnight readings — and scores each night relative to your own normal, not a generic average. You can fine-tune the baseline anytime. SEE THE TREND, NOT JUST TODAY - 7-day and 30-day rolling averages - A History tab with your full trend chart - Week in Review: your weekly pattern, best and worst nights, and specific recommendations for the week ahead - Prefer the big picture? Weekly Mode hides the daily number and shows a once-a-week summary STAY CONSISTENT - Build a streak for every day you check in above your chosen threshold - Milestone celebrations at 7, 14, and 30 days - Optional daily reminder and proactive trend alerts (e.g. "HRV suppressed 4 days running") ON YOUR HOME SCREEN Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets put today's score one glance away. SHARE IT Generate a clean score card to share your progress. COMPLETELY PRIVATE Your health data never leaves your device. Everything is computed on-device. There's no account, no server, no tracking, and no ads — there is no backend that could leak your data, because there is no backend. Current requests read-only access to Health and never writes to it. — Current is for general wellness and informational purposes only. It is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat, or prevent any condition. An Apple Watch is recommended for sleep and HRV data.
