WHOOP is the leading wearable that turns comprehensive health insights into daily action. By capturing dozens of data points every second, WHOOP delivers personalized Sleep, Strain, Recovery, Stress, and health insights—24/7.

If you’re new to WHOOP, you can try both the wearable and app free for 1 month. Terms and conditions apply. WHOOP is screenless, so all your data lives in the WHOOP app—for a distraction-free focus on your health. The WHOOP app requires a WHOOP wearable. How it works: Healthspan*: A powerful way to quantify your age and slow your Pace of Aging. Backed by leading longevity research, it pinpoints the daily habits that impact your long-term health. Sleep: WHOOP helps you understand how well you sleep each night by measuring your Sleep Performance. Every morning, WHOOP provides a Sleep score from 0 to 100%. Sleep Planner calculates how much sleep you need to recover, tailored to your habits, schedule, and goals. You can even set a Haptic Alarm that wakes when you're fully rested, or at a specific time, with gentle vibration. Quality sleep is essential for improving your healthspan, metabolic mental resilience, recovery, and performance. Recovery: WHOOP lets you know how ready you are to perform by measuring your heart rate variability, resting heart rate, sleep, and respiratory rate. You'll get a daily Recovery score on a scale of 1 to 99%. When you're in the green, you're ready for strain, when you're in the yellow or red, you may want to evaluate your training program. Strain: WHOOP does more than just track your activity–it measures cardiovascular and muscular exertion to give you the most comprehensive view of the demands you put on your body. Each day, Strain Target will provide a Strain score from 0 to 21 and recommend your optimal target exertion range based on your Recovery score. Stress: WHOOP gives you daily insights to pinpoint your stressors, understand your physiological response, and discover techniques to help manage. Get a real-time stress score from 0-3 and, based on your score, choose a breathwork session to enhance your alertness or increase relaxation. Behaviors: WHOOP tracks over 160+ daily habits and behaviors—like alcohol intake, medication, and more—to better understand how these behaviors impact your body. WHOOP provides weekly guidance for behavior change and helps set accountability goals with the Journal and Weekly Plan features. WHOOP Coach: Ask questions about your health & fitness and get highly personalized, on-demand answers. Using your unique biometric data, the latest performance science, and generative AI, WHOOP Coach generates responses on everything from training plans to why you’re feeling tired. Menstrual Cycle Insights: Go beyond period tracking to better understand your fifth vital sign and get tailored cycle-based insights. What else you can do in the WHOOP app: • Dig into the details: See heart rate zones, VO₂ Max, steps, and more trends over time to adjust your behaviors, training, sleep and more based on your goals. • Join a team: Stay motivated and accountable by joining a team. Chat directly with your teammates in the app, or as a coach, see how your team's training is going. • Apple Health: WHOOP integrates with Apple's Health app to sync activities and personalize your experience.

Your body keeps score. Howard helps you stay ahead of it. Whether you're a first responder grinding through back-to-back shifts, an athlete pushing through a training block, or someone who simply refuses to settle for "fine," Howard gives you a complete, real-time picture of your wellness and the tools to act on it. Most wellness apps count steps and call it a day. Howard connects the dots between your sleep, stress, nutrition, fitness, recovery, and the demands of your actual life to deliver coaching that's personal, timely, and grounded in real data. Built by SWORN.ai and shaped by years of work with law enforcement leaders, elite trainers, and behavioral scientists. What Howard does that others don't: --> Works with the wearable you already own. Direct integrations with Oura, WHOOP, Garmin, and Fitbit, plus Apple Health and Health Connect. Connect once and Howard reads your sleep, HRV, resting heart rate, and workouts automatically. --> The SWORN Band. Our own wearable, built for people who can't wear a watch on duty. Continuous heart rate, HRV, SpO2, skin temperature, sleep staging, and a single-lead ECG you can take in 30 seconds. Workouts you start on the band import on their own, no phone required. --> Real-time biometric dashboard. Live stress, recovery, sleep, and training load, synthesized into a single readiness score you can act on before the shift, not after it. --> AI coaching that adapts to your day. Personalized micro-coaching (hydration cues, recovery prompts, mindful breaks) delivered based on what's actually happening in your schedule, not a generic reminder. --> Shift and training-aware intelligence. Howard doesn't just log your workouts. It correlates sleep, HRV, nutrition, and workload against your duty patterns or training cycles to surface the insights that matter. --> Holistic by design. Sleep, nutrition, fitness, stress, workload intensity, and the personal factors that affect performance. Readiness isn't one-dimensional and Howard doesn't treat it that way. --> Nutrition without the data entry. Scan a Nutrition Facts label with your camera, scan a barcode, snap a photo of your plate, or just describe what you ate. Log the same breakfast in one tap. --> Voice stress check-ins. Quick voice samples before, during, and after high-demand periods to objectively measure your stress levels against your personal baseline. --> Resources where you are. Wellness support curated by your agency (mental health providers, recovery centers, health clinics) on a map, so you can find them when you need them. Your data stays yours. Encrypted in transit and at rest. Never sold, never shared with advertisers. We use anonymous product analytics, identified only by an account number and never your name or email, to see which features get used. That's it. Built for people who perform under pressure. First responders. Competitive athletes. Tactical professionals. Weekend warriors training for their first ultra. Anyone whose life or livelihood depends on showing up ready. For teams and organizations: Howard gives leadership quantifiable wellness metrics to improve retention, reduce risk, and support their people before burnout hits, all without compromising individual privacy. Agency dashboards surface aggregated, anonymized trends across a unit or shift, so leaders can see where recovery needs attention without ever seeing an individual's data. Howard isn't another wellness tracker. It's a readiness platform for people who take performance seriously.
