SwimEase answers a question your swim log does not: what did that set actually turn into? Every set has two halves. The half you write on the board — ten hundreds on a one forty-five — and the half the clock gives back: the seconds you get on the wall before the next one leaves. Every log stores the first half. SwimEase shows you the second. WRITE THE SET THE WAY YOU WRITE IT ON A BOARD "10x100 free" is a whole set. The reps, the distance and the stroke are read straight out of it, and the send-off you should write beside it is worked out for you — rounded up to the five seconds a pace clock actually reads. THE WALL Every rep of the set becomes a column of the rest it really gave you, banded against your own floor: held, tight, or missed. You watch the rest collapse instead of reading an average that hides it. THE TURN The app names the rep at which the set stopped being the set you wrote, says what it became, and prescribes the send-off that would have held all of it — solved against your slowest rep, because an average-based answer still breaks on the reps that were already breaking. YOUR THRESHOLD, FROM TWO OF YOUR OWN SWIMS Swim a 200 and a 400 as hard as you can hold. The arithmetic is shown, not hidden, and every send-off in the app is worked out from the result. A SET LIBRARY THAT REMEMBERS Save the sets you come back to. Each one carries how it went last time — held six, turned at seven — so the next board is written from evidence. BUILT FOR POOL SWIMMERS Short course yards, short course metres and long course metres, every swim filed under the pool it was swum in and converted when it needs to be. No watch, no chest strap, no hardware at all. FREE, WITH NO ACCOUNT NEEDED TO LOOK AROUND The board and its prescribed send-off, the Wall and the Turn on your latest set, the threshold test, your set library, your personal bests and swim-day reminders are free, and nothing you log is ever deleted.

Lumeday is a calm home for your whole day. Instead of a workout app, a water app and a habit app that never talk to each other, you compose one timeline — and get one honest number for how body and mind are actually doing. ONE TIMELINE FOR THE WHOLE DAY Add workouts, hydration, mindfulness and your own custom blocks to a single day spine, reorder them, tick them off, and set a reminder before each one. Build tomorrow in seconds from a one-tap routine, or save your own. LUME BALANCE — ONE HONEST NUMBER A 0-100 daily score computed on your device from six things you actually did: activity completion, movement, hydration, mindfulness, sleep and seven-day consistency. Any dimension with no data that day is left out and the rest are reweighted, so the score is never padded and never punishes a gap. Tap it to see exactly what moved it. A STREAK THAT FORGIVES Qualifying days build a streak that survives one miss a week, with milestones grounded in real habit research rather than the 21-day myth. PROGRESS YOU CAN READ Hydration, movement, mindfulness, sleep and mood each get a trend and a plain change against your own last seven days. Set specific goals and watch a ring fill, with a projection of when you will reach the target at your current pace. A CONTENT LIBRARY THAT SCHEDULES ITSELF Guided breathing, mobility flows, focus and wind-down sessions, filterable by length, type and mood — and any of them drops straight onto your timeline. LUMEDAY PRO (optional subscription) - Cross-domain patterns: whether your mindfulness or hydration days really precede better-scoring days, each rated by strength and shown only when there is enough data to mean anything - Bio-Sync: a plain-language plan tweak grounded in your own numbers - Your full history, the weekly review ritual, a shareable summary, premium sessions and unlimited routines - 9.99 US dollars per month or 59.99 US dollars per year, with a 7-day free trial - Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation. The subscription auto-renews unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the period; manage or cancel in your Apple ID Settings The whole timeline, your streak, reminders and today's balance stay free, forever. Lumeday offers general wellness guidance to help you organize healthy habits. It is not medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. Targets are general references and vary with your body, activity and health — talk to a clinician about your own needs.
