Nobody quits in front of an audience. That's the whole idea. Pick a goal, put real money behind it, and challenge someone to beat you. Your watch keeps score. Best performance takes the prize pool. A goal you tell nobody is easy to skip. A goal with a competitor, a deadline, and something real behind it is not. HOW IT WORKS Pick your goal: steps, distance, mile pace, 5K, 10K, sleep, Zone 2 minutes, or your overall HARTHOS Health Score. Set the terms: one on one, group, or squad versus squad. Play free, or enter with real money. Move: Progress syncs automatically from Apple Health. Best performance takes the prize pool. BUILT FOR APPLE WATCH AND YOUR FITNESS WEARABLE Start a challenge and forget about it. Steps, distance, pace, heart rate, and sleep sync automatically from your Apple Watch, in the background, with nothing to log. Also works with Garmin, Oura, Fitbit, and anything else that writes to Apple Health. COMPETE HOW YOU WANT One on one: call out a friend, or anyone on the leaderboard. Group: multiple competitors, with the top finishers sharing the prize pool. Squad versus squad: team totals, split evenly across the winning side. Daily challenges: a fresh goal every day, all season long. Charity mode (coming soon): send your winnings to a cause instead of your wallet. EVERY METRIC COUNTS Steps. Distance. Mile pace. 5K and 10K times. Sleep. Zone 2 Workout Duration. Health Score. Whatever your watch already tracks, you can compete on. YOUR HARTHOS HEALTH SCORE One number, updated daily, built from your activity, sleep, and recovery. Watch it move as your habits change, and compete on it directly. AN AI AND HUMAN REFEREE IN EVERY CHALLENGE You should never lose to someone who cheated. Every challenge is scored on verified data from Apple Health and your connected devices, and an AI referee watches for anomalies on both sides. Disputes go to human review. Results are decided by performance, nothing else. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS Your health data is used to score challenges. That's it. We don't sell it. LEADERBOARDS AND SEASONS Climb the global leaderboard. Track your record, win rate, and streaks. Each season brings new goals, new competitors, and rewards from partner brands. YOUR WALLET HARTHOS settles in real money, not points or coins. Add funds with Apple Pay, card, or bank transfer. Winnings land in your wallet as soon as a challenge settles, and withdraw to your bank anytime. A hart is a stag that has made it through five seasons. Endurance is the whole point. ELIGIBILITY HARTHOS is an 18 and over skill based competition app available in the United States. Results are determined by your fitness performance, not by chance. Paid entry is void where prohibited by law. Free challenges are open to everyone. Terms: harthos.app/terms Privacy: harthos.app/privacy Support: support@harthos.app

Most readiness apps hand you a score and ask you to trust it. Load/Ready shows its work: every number opens to the readings and the math behind it, measured against your own normal, never an average. It reads your Apple Health data (sleep, heart-rate variability, resting heart rate and workouts), tells you where you stand today, and names a session. Then it gets out of the way. You decide. YOUR NORMAL, NOT A POPULATION'S 50 is your usual. Recovery and sleep are measured against your own last 42 days, and each workout against your own sessions of the same kind. A resting heart rate of 48 means nothing on its own; two beats above your own average means something. A RECOMMENDATION YOU CAN TAKE APART Load/Ready suggests a session for today, with the values that led to it on screen. "Why this?" always opens. "Not today" is always an answer. Your own read of your body outranks the app. EVERY WORKOUT, SCORED AND COMPARED Each session gets a score against your own sessions of the same kind, and a rank you can tap through. Output vs heart rate shows whether the same speed or power now costs fewer beats than it used to: the plainest sign your engine is changing. WHAT'S INSIDE -Recovery and Sleep dials, with readiness read as recovery against training load -Automatic training load from heart rate, no logging, with this week set against the weeks before -Sleep stages, regularity and sleep debt against your own need -Workouts taken apart: heart-rate zones, route and splits -Patterns: which of your own signals move together, with the delay, the strength and whether it could be noise -Aerobic engine, HRV stability, walking heart rate, heart-rate recovery and body composition -"The Science": the method behind every card, in plain words, with the formulas and the research MEASURED, NOT GUESSED Pair a chest strap and Load/Ready finds your thresholds from beat-to-beat data instead of an age formula. Connect FTMS gym equipment (treadmills, bikes, rowers) and it records the machine's own speed, distance, power and incline. APPLE WATCH Record workouts on the watch with GPS, heart rate and time in zone on the face. Fourteen sports, indoor and out, saved to Apple Health. Complications show Recovery, Sleep or readiness, or start a workout in one tap. PRIVATE BY DESIGN There is no Load/Ready server. No account, no sign-up, no analytics, no ads, no third-party SDKs, and nothing sent to the developer. Your data stays on your devices, not in iCloud; a backup is a file you keep. The one request the app makes is to Apple Weather, for an outdoor workout's conditions, with the location rounded to about 1 km. TRY ALL OF IT FREE A free 30-day trial of the whole app, nothing held back, then one purchase to keep it. No subscription. Load/Ready works best with an Apple Watch or another wearable that records sleep and heart rate to Apple Health. Scores need at least a week of history and the load ratio about four weeks; until then the app says so rather than guessing. Load/Ready is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat or prevent any condition.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: HARTHOS at none against Load/Ready's 2. HARTHOS also leads on ratings volume (14 vs 3) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.0). Load/Ready's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
