What your body can do today and how hard you've worked it recently are answered by different engines. Never averaged into one number.
16 muscle regions tracked independently, so a sore back doesn't quietly mask tired legs.
Every score traces back to a formula you can actually read. Built on peer-reviewed sports-science methodology. Not a mystery model.
Local-first with optional iCloud sync. No account required, no server ever sees your training data.
Sets, reps, RPE. Takes seconds. Works offline.
Recent training load, HRV (from a watch, or a camera scan in beta), sleep, and soreness reports feed straight into the engines.
Readiness estimates what your body can do today. Load estimates how hard you've already worked it. Never the same number.
Two quick checks in the daily check-in, with nothing but your iPhone.
Hold a fingertip over the camera and flash for 60 seconds. Kovura turns each heartbeat into beat-to-beat intervals and works out rMSSD, a standard HRV measure.
It only counts on days without watch HRV, and it's read against your own earlier scans.
How the scan works →
A quick tap test, about 11 seconds: wait for the screen to flash, then tap. Five scored rounds, and Kovura keeps the median so one slow tap doesn't skew it.
It's a reaction-time check against your own last 14 days, and one input to your Recovery Score.
How the test works →The muscle map colors all 16 regions from recovered to very sore, so you can see what's ready to train instead of guessing.
Tap a muscle for how long it usually takes to feel back to normal, a few gentle stretches, and when soreness is worth getting checked.
Home Screen widgets keep today's picture one glance away. While you train, a Live Activity follows the session on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island: the routine, a ticking timer, and how far through you are. Live, without opening the app.
Today's number, and how much the app trusts it, before you open anything.
The two headline numbers side by side, in the app's ticks style.
The month at a glance, trained days filled in.
Per-muscle injury-risk ratios, a fitness-fatigue model, formulas cited in-app. See exactly how Kovura compares to a typical logger or wearable.
Kovura is in open beta on TestFlight for iPhone. It's free to download. Beta testers keep Premium free for good. After launch, Premium is $4.99 a month or $34.99 a year, with a 7-day free trial on the annual plan.
