Recovery Tracker

Wake up and know one thing before you plan your day: should you push hard, or take it easy? Recovery Tracker turns the numbers already sitting in Apple Health — sleep, HRV, resting heart rate and yesterday's strain — into a single daily recovery score from 0 to 100. Most health apps just mirror your steps back at you. This one interprets them. A recovery engine weighs how well you slept, how balanced your nervous system is (HRV) and how much load you carried, then gives you a clear readiness verdict and a plain-English daily briefing — no spreadsheets, no guesswork. WHAT YOU GET - A daily recovery score that tells you whether today is for training hard or resting - Sleep broken into Deep, Core, REM and Awake, so you see why you feel rested (or not) - HRV and resting heart rate trends that reveal how your body is really adapting - Move, Exercise and Stand rings with steps, workouts, calories and distance from Apple Health - Hydration, weight, BMI and a quick mood journal, all in one calm daily check-in - Workout history with heart rate zones, a 365-day activity heatmap and achievement badges PERFECT FOR - Runners and lifters who want to train by readiness instead of guessing - Anyone chasing better sleep who wants to see it reflected in recovery - Apple Watch owners whose health data feels scattered across apps - People who want a calm, private daily check-in without another social feed WHY NOT JUST USE THE HEALTH APP? Apple Health stores your data beautifully but never tells you what it means. Recovery Tracker reads the same numbers and turns them into a single decision — push or rest — with the sleep, HRV and strain context behind it, plus a daily coach briefing and trends the Health app never shows. PRIVACY Your data stays on your iPhone. Recovery Tracker reads directly from Apple Health, requires no account, and sends nothing to the cloud. No ads, no tracking, per-type permission toggles you control. FULL ACCESS Recovery Tracker Pro unlocks the full app: your daily recovery score and dashboard, the AI coach briefing, deeper insights and 30-day correlations, unlimited workout history with heart rate zones, the 365-day yearly heatmap, every achievement badge, and CSV export of your health history. Pro is available as a Weekly plan, a Yearly plan (best value), or a one-time Lifetime purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple ID; subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends, and you can manage or cancel anytime in your App Store settings. Open the app, grant Apple Health access, and see your recovery score in seconds. This is a wellness app, not a medical device, and does not diagnose or treat any condition.
