Streamlined Recovery & Strain Dashboard: Focus on What Matters Most

The redesigned Key Metrics dashboard now features two focused rings—Recovery and Strain—plus a Training Load Zone Bar for instant comprehension of your training readiness.

We've completely redesigned the Key Metrics visualization to focus on what matters most—Recovery and Strain. The result is a cleaner, faster-to-read dashboard that helps you make better training decisions at a glance.

What's new

Single Recovery Ring

A clean ring visualization with your recovery percentage displayed in the center along with status (Ready/Moderate/Limited). No more juggling three separate scores—Recovery Capacity is front and center.

Training Load Zone Bar

Below the ring, see your training load ratio (e.g., "1.07×") with an intuitive zone indicator showing exactly where you fall on the spectrum:

  • Green (0.8× – 1.2×): Optimal training balance
  • Yellow (1.2× – 1.4× or 0.6× – 0.8×): Building or deloading
  • Red (>1.4× or <0.6×): Overreaching or under-training

Recovery Signals Card

Tap to see the four signals contributing to your Recovery score:

  • Immediate Recovery: Post-workout HR drop
  • Overnight Recovery: Sleep HR vs baseline
  • HRV Trend: 7-day vs 21-day comparison
  • Consistency: Recovery stability over time

Strain Signals Card

The four signals that contribute to your Strain adaptation:

  • HRV Trend: Autonomic balance with ↑/↓ indicators
  • Activity Pattern: Training consistency
  • Temp Stability: Circadian rhythm health
  • Oxygen Health: SpO₂ readings quality

Why we simplified

The previous three-ring design included Readiness as a separate metric, but user feedback showed that Recovery and Strain are the actionable signals that drive daily decisions. Readiness (data confidence) is still available in the detail views but no longer competes for visual attention.

Better handling of multiple data sources

If you use an Apple Watch alongside a third-party sleep tracker, smart mattress (Eight Sleep), or dedicated device (Oura ring, Whoop band), overlapping Sleep and Active Energy data is now intelligently deduplicated. No more double-counting that could skew your scores.

Apple Watch updates

The watch app mirrors this streamlined approach with quick metric pills on page one and the full rings visualization on page two—all synced via Bluetooth with offline support.

Update to version 1.0.13 or later to experience the redesigned dashboard. Your biological age decisions just got simpler.
