Built for High-Performance Professionals. Whether you are a surgical resident, an elite athlete, or a driven professional, your days are highly demandingβand typical health trackers aren't built for that. Daytime stress, caffeine, and constant movement can skew your cardiovascular data, masking your true state of recovery. Daily Rounds is a high-fidelity health and habit tracker designed to cut through the noise. By combining your subjective daily logs with automated Apple Health data, Daily Rounds acts as your personal biometric intelligence engine, revealing exactly how your lifestyle choices impact your physiological readiness. KEY FEATURES: Precision "Sleep Mask" Filtering Stop letting daytime stress ruin your data. Daily Rounds uses custom algorithms to isolate your Resting Heart Rate (RHR) and Heart Rate Variability (HRV) only while you are asleep. This gives you a true, uncontaminated picture of your central nervous system's recovery. Readiness vs. Strain Quadrant Visualize your body's economy. Our custom engine plots your daily cardiovascular load and workout strain against your overnight recovery scores. Instantly see if you are "Primed to Perform," "Functionally Overreaching," or in the "Danger Zone" for burnout. Physiological Baseline Tracking Raw HRV numbers are noisy. Daily Rounds maps your daily HRV against a personalized, rolling 30-day baseline. Watch your trendline shift relative to your own normal range to catch subtle changes in your nervous system before you even feel them. Smart Habit Correlation Track what actually matters. Quickly log daily variables like caffeine intake, meal timing, alcohol units, and magnesium supplementation. Our Trends dashboard visually correlates these habits with your Sleep Architecture (Deep, REM, Core) and next-day soreness. The "Sleep Lab" Dive deep into last night's recovery with interactive, high-resolution sleep architecture charts. Scrub through your night to see exactly what your heart rate and oxygen levels were doing during specific sleep stages. Clinical-Grade Privacy (100% Local) Your health data is yours. Daily Rounds integrates directly with Apple HealthKit and processes years of historical data entirely on-device. No external servers, no cloud processingβjust pure, private performance tracking. Note: Daily Rounds requires integration with the Apple Health app to read your sleep, heart rate, HRV, and workout data.

Ork is a free AI calorie counter that learns from your body. Snap a photo of your food or describe it in your own words. Ork works out calories, protein, carbs, fat, fiber and 15 micronutrients in seconds. With an Apple Watch you also get your energy level, sleep and recovery in the same app. FREE, NO PAYWALL Ork is completely free. No ads, and no trial that turns into a subscription. We never sell your data. A CALORIE TARGET THAT ADAPTS Calorie formulas can be off by 10β15 percent. Ork compares your target with how your weight actually changes. It adjusts the target when the gap is bigger than your weight's normal swings, and it always tells you when it does. If you'd rather decide yourself, you can set a custom calorie target. AI FOOD LOGGING Snap your plate or type "two eggs and a cheese sandwich". Adjust portions, split recipes into servings and quickly re-log your recent meals. YOUR NUTRITION COACH Every day you get a personal analysis of how you eat. It covers protein, fiber, energy balance and the nutrients you're short on, with concrete ideas for what to eat. BLOOD TEST RESULTS Take a photo of your blood test results. Ork reads the values, shows them against their reference ranges and tracks them over time. It links them to your diet, for example iron and ferritin. ENERGY, SLEEP AND RECOVERY (APPLE WATCH) Using Apple Watch data, Ork calculates your energy level from 0 to 100 based on sleep, heart rate, HRV, activity and recovery. You see sleep stages, daily strain and long-term trends, and you get a morning report every day. WORKS WITH APPLE HEALTH Ork saves nutrition data to Apple Health and reads your weight from your smart scale. Home Screen widgets show energy, calories and protein.
