Every morning, one question eats your willpower before the day begins: what should I actually do today? Basis answers it. Open the app and today's plan is already made — a workout scaled to how recovered you are, and exact meals with portions, built from foods you actually like. No dashboards to interpret. No logging marathon. Just today's plan, ready to execute. Basis is prescriptive, not another tracker. It reads your recovery, sleep, and body data from Apple Health, distills it into a single daily plan, and gets out of your way. The best session is the shortest one. WHAT YOU GET EACH MORNING • A recovery-scaled workout — sets, reps, and loads tuned to how you slept and trained, with form cues and a video demo for every movement. • Exact meals with portions — breakfast to dinner, built around foods you like, macros already balanced, with step-by-step cooking directions and a grocery list for the week. • One clear readout — today's plan and the reason behind it, in plain language. Depth is there if you want it, never forced on you. A REAL PROGRAM, NOT RANDOM WORKOUTS • Pick 2–6 training days and Basis builds your weekly split around them — rest days are planned recovery, not missed days. • Every fourth week is a deload: deliberately lighter, the way a coach programs it, so the next block hits harder. • Flag a shoulder, knee, lower-back, or wrist limitation and every exercise in the plan works around it. • Training somewhere else today? Switch your equipment for the day and the workout rebuilds instantly. BUILT AROUND YOU • Recovery-aware. Connect Apple Health and Basis scales each day to your real recovery, sleep, and strain — from Apple Watch, Whoop, Oura, and more, all through Health. • Meals you'll actually eat. Tell Basis the foods you love and the ones you avoid; every plate respects both. Ate off-plan? Log it as lighter, about the same, or heavier — the day stays honest. • Counts toward your rings. With your permission, finished sessions are saved back to Apple Health as real workouts. • At a glance. A Home Screen widget shows today's session and meals, and Siri answers "What's my workout today?" • Honest progress. Weight trend, body composition, adherence, streak, and per-lift records with charts — shown straight, never inflated, never guilt-tripping. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Basis runs entirely on your device. There's no account, no login, and no cloud database. Your health data stays in Apple Health on your iPhone — never sold, never shared, never used for advertising. The plan is computed on-device, so it's ready the moment you open the app. FOR THE MORNINGS YOU DON'T WANT TO THINK Basis is for people who care about their health but not about researching it — who'd rather be told exactly what to do and get on with the day. Open it once, trust the plan, go live your life. Available in English and Spanish.
