For people diagnosed with ME/CFS. This app helps you to pace and stay within your capacity envelope. Use your watch and phone to monitor your daily heart rate, stand time, steps and distance. Integrated with HealthKit. This app uses the Health app to monitor resting, average and maximum heart rates, heart rate variability, step count, walking distance and active energy. Set your individual thresholds for nominal, caution, warning and critical levels. Keep an eye on your status on your phone and watch. Add complications to your watch face to alert you when you cross thresholds. Please note: in version 2.x at least one complication is required on the active watch face for background alerts. Alerts on the watch are not instantaneous - background checking occurs at intervals during the day. USE THIS APP ONLY WITH THE ADVICE AND SUPPORT OF YOUR PHYSICIAN.

Great app for Long covid patients! Except info disappears at the end of the day.

Great app but everything disappears at the end of the day. It would be wonderful if it integrated in the apple health for review. Even better to have a summary report, perhaps weekly or monthly that one could export to show doctors.

I did not understand pacing and struggled to conceptualize tracking until this app- this app made it very clear very simple while being very easy to personalize. With an illness that makes almost everything overwhelming, the simplicity and clarity this app offers, for free, is something I feel so much gratitude and appreciation for. Tech can sometimes be a bummer - but when there are moments of human altruism and care it embodies I realize it is not the tech, but rather the people and purposes it is serving that can feel so bad (or in this case, good). Early on I did have a moment in which I wished that the app had some review features, and would save the day before as some others pointed out. But last night, at almost midnight, I was carrying around the bright red danger warning on my screen and feeling anxious, only to have it reset while I brushed my teeth and be gone, reset with the clock. In that moment, I felt a lift and a sense of hopefulness - I would sleep and it would be a new day. I told myself, I can find most of the info in my Apple health app, and I don’t need to think about it now, I only need to rest and try again tomorrow.Suddenly less functionality felt like it had meaning and purpose - aiming my focus at what I can do now, for once. This apps design is also reinforcing me taking one day at a time. I am certain not everyone will agree, but it is rare you can learn something so fundamental from such a simple free app that feels core to healing. Thank you sincerely to the developers. I am really appreciative of you for making something so functional and providing it to a community that can really benefit from your gift.

This is very helpful to set warnings for heart rate or steps. It’s good for teaching where your limits are so you know to stop and rest. There is a place where you can set your own thresholds for the limits. The only thing I wish is that you can reset it for heart rate. I have Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome along with the ME. My heart rate is very variable. I can hit the threshold and lay down and have my heart rate go back down. But later I will get up again and need the heart rate reset.

Hi. You can reset the alert for any of the parameters. On the watch a double tap will reset to "from now on". A repeat double tap will reset back to midnight. You can also long press to pause a parameter if you want to ignore it for the rest of the day. On the phone long press on a parameter to bring up a menu to access these same functions.

ME/CFS folx, I highly recommend. You can set and modify your own parameters. I wish it integrated with Oura ring, but I get around this by updating my Apple Health details from my Ours ring throughout the day. I am excited to see how this helps me better pace over time. THANK YOU so much for building this!!!
