Some mornings you wake up puffy and some mornings you don't. Drena is built on the idea that this is not random — and that you can find out what actually causes it, then drain it in a few minutes. A MORNING SCORE, NOT A STREAK Every morning you rate four zones — face and jaw, belly, legs and ankles, hands and arms — on a five-point scale. Thirty seconds. That becomes your Morning Score. The score is daily, and it deliberately does not accumulate. Lymphatic drainage moves fluid that is already there, and the effect lasts hours, not weeks. Anything that showed you a number climbing forever would be selling you a story. GUA SHA AND FACE YOGA PROGRAMS Three guided programs, a few minutes a day, one day at a time: the 7-Day De-Puff, the 14-Day Gua Sha and the 21-Day Face Yoga. Each day tells you exactly which routine to do, and progress photos let you compare day one with the last. 26 ROUTINES, DRAWN RATHER THAN FILMED Gua sha rituals, face yoga, and self-massage for face, belly, legs and arms — the morning ritual, before a flight, cycle days, after a salty day, an evening for tired legs, and quick fixes for when there is no mirror. Every stroke is drawn on the body as a path with an arrowhead, because the direction is the part that matters: lymph moves toward nodes, never away from them. Face and neck route to the ear and then down to the collarbone. That is checked against clinical self-massage guidance, not guessed at from a video. Facial routines run by hand or with a gua sha stone. The route is identical — anatomy does not change — but the grip, the pressure and the safety notes do. YOUR PERSONAL TRIGGER MAP Salty meal. Short sleep. A flight. Alcohol. The week before your period. You tag what happened the evening before, and Drena compares the mornings that followed a trigger against the mornings that didn't. It holds itself to honest thresholds: at least eight mornings on each side before it will name anything, and effects smaller than three points are reported as no clear effect rather than dressed up as a finding. EVERY CLAIM CARRIES A GRADE Twenty-two articles, each marked Established, Emerging, Early or Myth. Including the one the whole category gets wrong: lymph does not flush toxins. Your liver and kidneys do that. Puffiness is fluid, and fluid is what this app is about. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No account. No tracking. Nothing leaves your phone. Apple Health is read-only, and only for weight and workouts. DRENA PRO Programs, the full routine library, your trigger map and your full history are part of Drena Pro, billed monthly with a 3-day free trial, or yearly. Payment is taken from your Apple ID when you confirm. Drena Pro renews on its own unless you switch renewal off at least 24 hours before the period ends; manage or cancel it any time in your App Store account settings. Drena is a wellness app for everyday puffiness. It is not a medical device and does not diagnose or treat anything, including lymphoedema. If swelling is sudden, one-sided or painful, see a doctor.

About

CalliShape

Features
Read full description

CalliShape builds your calisthenics program around your body, not an average one. Two minutes of questions — goal, age, height, weight, build, available equipment, sensitive joints — and the app lays out your week. From then on, every set you log tunes the next one: too easy and the difficulty goes up, too hard and it comes back down. Nothing to configure. WHAT YOU GET • A plan that recalculates after every set • 154 animated exercises, from wall push-ups to the human flag, with technique cues and common mistakes • 10 skill trees: muscle-up, handstand, front lever, planche, L-sit, pistol squat, back lever, human flag, one-arm push-up and one-arm pull-up • 16 guided programs: my first pull-up, road to 100 push-ups, handstand in 8 weeks, gentle restart, active after 50, everyday mobility and more • Custom workouts you build yourself, with the same progression applied DURING THE WORKOUT • Giant counter, one-tap logging, rest timer with fifteen-second adjustments • Voice coach for sets, rest and side switches • Lock screen and Dynamic Island: the timer keeps running and the buttons respond without unlocking • An easier or harder variation one tap away, at any moment ON APPLE WATCH Your workout travels to your wrist and runs without your iPhone. Heart rate, calories, Activity rings, haptics at the end of each rest. The result returns to your iPhone, which applies the progression. YOUR PROGRESS, MEASURED CalliScore and ranks, a six-axis strength radar, curves per movement family, weekly volume, personal records, twelve weeks of consistency, weight, measurements and before/after photos. 44 trophies and challenges calibrated on your last four weeks, not on generic targets. YOUR BODY, YOUR LIMITS Wrists, shoulders, elbows, back, knees, hips, blood pressure, pregnancy, postpartum, osteoporosis: risky movements are replaced with safe variations, and both warm-up and recovery grow with age. YOUR DATA STAYS WITH YOU No account, no server, no ads, no tracking. Everything is stored on your iPhone. Backup and CSV export whenever you want. Health app sync only if you allow it. Available in English, French, Spanish, German and Portuguese. CalliShape offers general training programs and is not a substitute for medical advice. Stop if you feel pain.
