Insights describe associations; they do not prove cause and effect.
TODAY & COACH
Compare today’s readings with similar hours from your history. Coaching can consider sleep, recovery, stress, energy, activity and events such as workouts, late coffee or mindfulness. A separate note summarizes the previous seven days.
AI-written coaching requires an Apple Intelligence-compatible iPhone running iOS 26 or later, with Apple Intelligence enabled and available for your device language. Other devices retain their scores, insights and standard app-written coaching summaries. Coaching is generated locally; health information is not sent to an external AI service.
KEY SCORES
Stress — A continuous 0–100 physiological-load score. When both signals are available, it combines 40% HRV with 60% heart rate. It continues with heart rate alone when no nearby RMSSD exists. The curve shades sleep, excludes workouts and identifies missing watch periods. Stress reflects physiological activation, not emotional stress.
Energy — An all-day 0–100 estimate of how much you have “in the tank.” It recharges during sleep, taking Sleep Score and sleep stages into account, and responds to calm, stress and physical effort. Compare it with your usual reserve at the same time.
Sleep Score — A nightly 0–100 score blending duration (35%), continuity (25%) and restfulness (40%). Restfulness considers overnight HRV, heart rate and physiological load. Scores personalize as your history grows.
Recovery — Compares RMSSD with your history at a similar time of day. iPhone uses up to 30 previous days without including a reading in its own reference. Apple Watch uses a shorter local history, so its quick score may differ.
Activity — Combines movement with sustained effort. Workout load uses heart rate when enough readings are available; otherwise it is estimated from workout type and duration, so yoga is not treated like intense cardio. The Activity page shows what contributed to the score.

DATA & PRIVACY
HRV Tracker analyzes Apple Health data on your devices. Your health history is not uploaded to an HRV Tracker server.
AFib History on a compatible Apple Watch greatly increases beat-to-beat sampling and is strongly recommended for complete RMSSD, Stress, Energy and Recovery views. With infrequent measurements, some curves and insights may remain incomplete.
HRV Tracker is intended for personal information and wellness. It is not a medical device and does not diagnose or treat any condition.
I would just like the watch to update with the stress monitor though out the day without having to open the app

It should work. Please contact me for assistance.

iPhone-Reviewer
What Apple should have built!This app takes Apple’s raw HRV data and turns it into something meaningful and actionable. Metrics like Stress and Recovery make it much easier to understand what your body is telling you, bringing the experience closer to products like WHOOP while still using the Apple Watch and Apple Health ecosystem.My only suggestion would be to simplify some of the scientific explanations within the app. Most users don’t need detailed research references or technical terminology. A plain-English explanation focused on what the metrics mean and how to use them would make the app even more approachable. The deeper scientific content could live on the developer’s website for those who want to learn more.That said, this is an excellent app even in its current form. Beautifully designed, useful, and one of the best Apple Watch health apps I’ve tried.
Great app

Disagree with the previous reviewer who complained about scientific explanations. Inquiring minds want to know! Thanks for this app. I’ll e supporting you.
- Add support for HRV Recovery
- Bug Fixes.
