HealthLight is a calm place for everyday health logging, body signals, and trend awareness. It brings stress, training, nutrition, body feedback, and Apple Health data into one clear view. With your permission, HealthLight can read Apple Health signals such as steps, heart rate, HRV, active energy, and blood oxygen. It presents them alongside your training, nutrition, and subjective feedback, with attention to trends, sample freshness, and record completeness instead of judging your day from one number. You can: • Log training, nutrition, hydration, and body feedback • Review stress, heart rate, HRV, training, and recovery trends • Keep up across iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and widgets • Use guided breathing to create a short moment of calm • Optionally sign in with Apple for HealthLight Cloud AI • Receive 10 free AI analyses per account each week, with the remaining allowance shown in the app Care Circle lets you share selected health signals with people you care about and view today’s and 7-day trends. Celebrate workouts with badges and a badge wallet. Aegis connects conversations and insights with your health, training and recovery records. Core local features do not require an account. HealthLight is not intended for medical diagnosis, treatment, or emergency alerts. If you have persistent symptoms or a specific health concern, consult a qualified healthcare professional.
