Know exactly when to train hard and when to rest — without a wearable. Recovery Pulse turns four daily inputs (sleep hours, sleep quality, fatigue, and muscle soreness) into a single, precise Recovery Score from 0–100. Check in each morning in under 60 seconds and let the data drive your training decisions. YOUR DAILY RECOVERY SCORE: • Recovery Score (0–100) — Calculated from sleep, fatigue, and soreness each morning • Live Score Preview — Watch your score update as you log each metric • Status Levels — Optimal, Good, Moderate, or Low recovery at a glance • 7-Day Trend Chart — Bezier-curve visualization of your recovery trajectory • 30-Day History — Full score log with per-day breakdown NO WEARABLE. NO GUESSWORK: While other apps require a WHOOP, Oura, or Apple Watch, Recovery Pulse works with what you already know: how you actually feel. Manual logging takes 45 seconds. The insights last all day. BUILT FOR ATHLETES, FOUNDERS & BIOHACKERS: Recovery Pulse is for people who treat performance as a discipline. Competitive athletes managing training load. Founders who cannot afford low-output days. Biohackers who track every variable. Private by design.
