Description
Athlytic takes all the data that your Apple Watch collects and translates it into actionable insights.
RECOVERY: We analyze your heart rate variability and resting heart rate to calculate how recovered you are and ready to train today.
EXERTION and TARGET EXERTION: We monitor your cardiovascular load 24/7 and each day provide you with a Target Exertion range to stay in if you are training today based on your Recovery.
TARGET SLEEP: We look at your daily Recovery, Exertion, Sleep, and Sleep Debt to give you a Target Sleep recommendation or sleep goal for tonight as well as a Target Bed Time for optimal circadian rhythm.
24/7 HEALTH MONITOR: We monitor your HRV, Resting HR, Blood Oxygen, Respiratory Rate, and Wrist Temperature 24/7 and let you know if any one of them is outside of your normal range. In Settings you can even set up a notification to be alerted to any of your metrics outside your normal range.
JOURNAL: Choose from a long list of available Tags to make a note of a certain activity and see how it affects your Recovery and Sleep.
WORKOUT LOGGING AND TRACKING: Track every workout and see a color-coded HR Zone Chart, current HR zone, in-workout Effort Score and Intensity Levels, in-workout Aerobic and Anaerobic analysis and SO MUCH MORE! After the workout see an even more detailed analysis of the workout including Cardio Fitness, Heart Rate Recovery, and Training Effect on HRV. Athlytic also coaches you to tell you how far off of your PR or average the Effort was for each type of workout type!

What’s New
Version 5.5.1
Taking inspiration from Apple, I redesigned the Health metrics UI on the Dashboard so now don't just see if one of your metrics is out of its normal range, you can also see how far outside (or close to normal) it is.
Fixed a bug where if you had no sleep data, and did multiple Mindfulness App sessions during the day Athlytic would base your Recovery on your average waking HRV instead of your first Mindfulness HRV of the day.
Also from the big 5.5 update:
Training Load now has a very sophisticated A.I. coaching that will give you updates on your Training Load based on your Training Goal! I heard from a few users, especially new users who were not as familiar with the somewhat complex concepts related to Training Load that they had a difficult time understanding whether they were on the right track or not. I think this new coaching will go a long way towards educating you about these concepts and help you align your Training Load with your goals! (If you didn't already know that you can adjust your Training Goal, go to the More tab where you can set what your current goal of training is, which will be factored into your Target Exertion, Target Sleep, and now Training Load coaching.
Added Sleep Stress and Waking Stress! You will now see Sleep Stress and Waking Stress on the Stress Card isolating those periods of Stress both during periods of sleep, and waking (excluding sleep).
Sleep Stress now is also factored into to the Sleep Quality calculation, and as such is also now displayed below Sleep Quality. To recap, Sleep Quality is now based on your Sleep Stress, Restorative Sleep (REM and Deep Stages), Sleep Duration, Bloody Oxygen, Respiratory Rate, Sleep Interruptions, and Awake time. If you do not have Blood Oxygen or Respiratory Rate, it is not factored in. If you do not have Sleep Stage data, then the remaining metrics are used.
Big update for non-English speakers! All of the info cards at the bottom of each section in the app will now automatically translate to your iPhone's selected language (unless you have Hide Translations turned on in the More tab under Units and Language Preferences). Also for iOS 18 only. Big thanks to Jaclyn for learning this API and getting this done! Right now these are the available languages:
Arabic
Dutch
English (United Kingdom)
English (United States)
French (France)
German (Germany)
Hindi
Indonesian
Italian (Italy)
Japanese
Korean
Mandarin Chinese (China mainland)
Mandarin Chinese (Taiwan)
Polish
Portuguese (Brazil)
Russian
Spanish (Spain)
Thai
Turkish
Ukrainian
Vietnamese
Sleep Quality and Sleep Performance detail screens now also show a rating above the %.
Added Sleep Start and Sleep End Times to the Sleep Performance card so you don't need to scroll down to see them.
Added Average Bed Time and Average Wake Time on Sleep Time Consistency card.
Added Jump Rope and Track and Field as supported workouts on the Watch App.
Added Heart Rate Zone numbers in the zones UI to make it more clear which zone is which.
Bugs: Fixed a bug in the workout comparisons stats where the wrong SFSymbol was displaying for workouts like running.
Thanks!

Ratings and Reviews
Provides the essential metrics in a very accessible format
Another 12 months on and ALL that was said below still applies. I love the way the developers clearly care about this app and the way they keep evolving and improving on what is already an indispensable tool for training - without compromising reliability or usability in any way.
————-
Update after 12 months use. This app isn’t just good, it’s essential for proper training. After 12 months of daily use I can honestly say its been 100% reliable, it ‘feels’ accurate (recommendations from the app seem in line with how body feels), the developer has been quick to answer queries, the app continues to evolve in the right direction. This one of just a handful of apps out there that is truly ESSENTIAL. —— I’ve been using this app for a few weeks now. What a brilliant app it is - it provides the essential, informative metrics that Apple Health, Strava, TrainerRoad etc should do but don’t. And does so in a clean accessible format. Its wonderful. IMHO this app is up there with the best of them.
Developer Response ,
Thank you for the review!
I tried Whoop! I use Athlytic
I tried Whoop and sent it back… if you’ve already got an Apple Watch (or any other smart watch that is sending data to Apple Health) then you probably don’t need a Whoop.
This app puts all that data you’re gathering into a sensible and easy to make understand format. At £3 a month for the premium features it’s well worth it, especially compared to a Whoop band and subscription at ~£30 if you don’t buy a years subscription in one go. The trouble with Whoop is that it also needs over 30 days of data to get to know you, but the trial is only 30 days. Athlytic can look through the history of data you’ve already gathered in Apple Health and you’re up and running with good levels of insight from the off.
I like it overall but…
I found the how hard to push yourself information inconsistent. The bit that threw me and made me describe not to subscribe was this unclear inconsistency with the recommendation on how to train.
One day it told me I was well rested and to push myself. I was hoping to do that but it just so happened I had a long day stuck at the desk working. Quite a lazy day in the end from an effort point of view.
The next day, it told me to take it easy as if I’d had a tough workout the previous day.
Considering there isn’t much explanation around why it’s telling me this I found this to be inconsistent. I was expecting it to tell me to push myself as I’d now had two days of rest from exercise (due to work). But it was telling me the opposite.
Currently I’m giving Gentler Streak a try. It’s less detail oriented (which I miss but I can get from the Apple Health app) but it shows a fitness time line and gives informative suggestions on how hard to train to keep the fitness momentum up. From a push myself training point of view, Gentler is clearer. Being clear is the whole point of these apps. To bring some clarity to the wealth of data from Apple Health.
Overall, Athlytic is actually a really good app. I will definitely give it a revisit in the future. Just not right now as I think the effort page needs a bit more informative information to make it that but more consistent (at least from a being able to understand what changed point of view).
