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!
TRENDS: Robust Trends section which includes colorful and details charts including: Recovery vs. Exertion analysis and coaching, Weekly Cardio Load, Energy Consumed and Burned, Heart Rate Recovery and Cardio Fitness.

What’s New
Version 6.0
New Features:
Women’s Cycle Insights
Our new Cycle Phase feature helps women better understand how their menstrual cycle affects training and energy levels by providing phase-specific coaching including training recommendations tailored to each phase as well as insights into energy levels and hormonal fluctuations.
Athlytic estimates your current cycle phase based on your menstruation duration and overall cycle length, if tracked in Apple Health or an app that syncs to Apple Health.
In the More tab, women will find Menstrual Cycle Preferences, where they can set their typical period and cycle lengths to refine phase predictions and receive more accurate insights.
Training Load Widgets!
You can now see your Training Load on your iPhone's home screen with all new small, medium and large Training Load Widgets. These Widgets are customizable as well. By default they they will show a chart of your Training Load for the past year, but if you tap to configure them you can set them to show your 30, 60 day or 6 month charts instead.
A new Small iPhone Steps Widget (in addition to the existing medium widget)
Updates:
Major Updates to Battery:
The Battery algorithm has been updated. Battery now uses a rolling 24 hour window to compare your HRV to your 60 day baseline. While we recommend this 24 hour smoothing since it balances both your sleeping HRV and waking HRV (which is usually lower), you can customize it in the More tab to use a lower or higher smoothing period. You can also customize the battery's sensitivity.
Added a Typical Range area on the Battery charts to show when you're within or outside of your typical range.
Chart selection (i.e. the ability to tap the chart and see the value) has been added to both Daily and Weekly Battery charts in the Battery section on the iPhone.
9 New Journal Tags:
Cold Plunge, Irregular heartbeat, Jet Lag, Outdoor Time, Protein Supplement, Sick Partner, Sound Machine, Steam Room, and Vitamin B.
Other Updates:
The coaching at the top of home screen has been radically improved as far as detecting potential signals from your Health metrics.
A slight revision to Exertion and Effort algorithm. Exertion is more sensitive now especially in lower ranges. For users who walk or bike to work, or do rigorous house work or yard work, and previously had Exertion of 0 on these days, I think you will see more Exertion now during these days without having to start a workout on your Apple Watch. (Please note that since Athlytic cache's previous days' Exertion, you will need to go to the More Tab then Clear Caches/Resync, then Clear the Exertion cache to recalculate past days Exertion based on the new algorithm.
In the Journal for clarity, it will now say "Tag What Happened Yesterday" (the default), but if you change the date to today it will now say "Tag What Happened Today." All other dates will say "Tag What Happened on this Day."
Fixes:
In the Energy Tab, the Past 7 Days now correctly shows only the past 7 days of data (previously it inadvertently showed 8 days of data).
On the Recovery detail screen, corrected an issue where the language below might say 0% lower than or higher than when comparing your HRV/RHR to baseline.
Fixed some potential sync issues with iPhone and watch widgets.
Fixed an issue where on initial download of the app (or when you uninstall and reinstall) your Exertion may appear too high for previous days.
Fixed an issue where Kilojoules did not show instead of calories on the Monthly Highlights Card at the top of the Workouts Tab.
Fixed an issue where bad data in Apple Health might cause erroneously long workout recommendations.
Added an icon for Fitness Gaming.
A few other minor fixes and optimizations.
PLEASE NOTE: This is a major update, so if you are running version 6.0 on your iPhone but not on your watch, your values will likely differ so make sure you are running 6.0 on Both devices!
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!
Great app - better than Whoop imo
I had whoop for just over a week and the metrics and insights were all off. Its heart rate monitor would under report by about 30% in some cases during workouts and it didn’t offer me anything valuable. I’ve been overtraining and whoop said I was in prime condition when I wasn’t. Athlytic however has been spot on with how I’m feeling and what it suggests to do (I still do whatever I feel like, I just like to check workout stats and sleep). This app is a tenth of the price (keep it that way) for exactly the same kind of product.
Only improvement I want at the moment is that I wake up during the night multiple times and sometimes I go back to sleep after 6-7 hours and it doesn’t record that last 1 hour or so which would make it 8 hours of sleep because the gap may be too much.
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).
