RecoveryIQ is a private, on-device recovery coach for strength training, fitness, and active lifestyles. It uses data from Apple Health, including HRV, sleep, resting heart rate, workouts, and recent training load, to calculate a personalized daily Readiness score. Understand when your body may be ready to train, when recovery should take priority, and which muscles could limit your next session. RECOVERY COACHING • Daily Readiness Score: See how HRV, sleep, resting heart rate, training load, and active modifiers contribute to your score. • Coach Briefing: Get practical daily guidance based on your recovery signals, recent workouts, training plan, and usual routine. • Recovery Forecast: See how your readiness may change throughout the day and when training or protecting sleep may be the better choice. • Smart Session Guidance: Find muscle groups and training options that better match your current recovery. • Training Simulator: Explore how training today could affect your recovery outlook. MUSCLE RECOVERY • Interactive 3D Recovery Map: Rotate the body and inspect the recovery status of 18 tracked muscle groups. • Muscle-Level Insights: Identify limiting muscles, estimated recovery time, recent use, training familiarity, and the impact of your latest workout. • Realistic Training Load: Strength sessions account for supporting-muscle involvement, while cardio load can incorporate heart rate, duration, and workout energy. WORKOUTS AND PROGRESS • Activity-Aware Logging: Log strength, functional training, core, cardio, hybrid sports, mobility, and cooldown sessions. • Detailed Session Tracking: Record muscles, movement patterns, equipment, RPE, session feel, notes, and top sets. • Estimated 1RM: Automatically calculate e1RM from eligible top sets. • Personal Records: Automatically identify new strength PRs. • Training History: Review workouts with clear activity names, sport icons, and detailed session information.
