Bevel: Health & Performance 12+

Really liking what this app offers

This being the first day of public release I wanted to set my expectations low. So far from what I am seeing it is fantastic. There was no need for low expectations as this app has hit the ground running right from the start. I did find one not big bug but so far a really nice experience. If you are familiar with Whoop, Athlytic or Garmin this will feel similar but it does well with offering a fresh way of looking at your data.

I really like that it already supports updating the widgets on the desktop of my Mac. I have apps the I have used for years that still have not started with that feature.

So far I have not come to a conclusion that the subscription price is fair for what you are getting. I am leaning to yeah it’s fair, there is nice value here. I will admit I am not someone who is bothered much by subscriptions if I am likening the product. I never go right to the full year. I always go monthly for a month or two and if after that I am using the app regularly I pay for the year. My guess is after a month I will just do the year as I have been in the app multiple times today.

Bevel has quickly become my favorite Health Apl

I have been a long time user of Oura, however as the life of my battery started to decline (down to 2 days) I went in search of a replacement. I have been using Bevel for a couple of months now and can’t imagine living without it.

For the way I use both apps (there are a lot of features that I don’t use regularly), following is quick compare/contrast:

- For REM and Deep sleep the two apps are directionally similar. Not sure which one is more accurate.
- There is a LOT more movement in the Bevel sleep score, which I like. My Oura sleep score tends to be in a narrow range which makes it less useful.
- There is even more variability with the Bevel Recover score vs. Oura’s Readiness score. I find that Bevel is way more in line with how I feel.
- Bevel has a Strain recommendation (how hard you should work out that day) based on your sleep/recover, which I find very useful. This has helped to reduce the amount I over train.
- Bevel tracks your stress throughout the day. I consider myself having very low stress however I have learned that the stress from some of my workouts stays with me throughout the day.
- My wife got sick and all of the Bevel scores I have mentioned above enabled her to be smart about her recovery and getting back to training.

With Oura I really like the Heart Rate graph and the HRV graph, neither of which currently exist within Bevel (though they are on the feature request list).

Amazing health awareness

I never usually write reviews for apps but this app deserves one with how good and underrated it is. I LOVE how the app’s interface is so simple and satisfying, please keep it the same. I’m a fan of minimalistic but aesthetic interfaces of apps and not a lot of apps have that because it’s bloated with too many things but this app nails it in that area. Keeping track of my HR for stress is a really big help to my awareness towards my health so I love that most of all. The energy level tracker is also a big plus from me. I can’t wait to see what other things are added to app but I hope it doesn’t get bloated or lose its appealing interface. Thank you for creating this app! It has improved my awareness for my health.
