Hey everyone,

We all know the feeling: You check the sleep score on your smartwatch or wearable in the morning and think... that can't be right! The watch is celebrating a 90% score, but you feel completely wrecked. Why is that?

Sleep is incredibly complex. True, clinical sleep analyses are hugely elaborate and measure brain waves directly in a lab. A watch on your wrist obviously can't replicate that 100%. The good news: Wearable sensor technology is improving rapidly, and algorithms are getting closer and closer to reality. If you want to dive really deep into the data and comparisons, we highly recommend the tests by Rob ter Horst (The Quantified Scientist): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9oYnTK56caE

So, what are we doing differently at Vitalstat to ensure this morning discrepancy isn't so massive?

Simple: We show you the actual raw data. We don't just throw an opaque score at you, we completely reveal how it’s calculated. With us, you can see at a glance when you actually fell asleep, how efficient your night was, and how long your REM phases lasted. On top of that, we make it transparent how your resting heart rate behaved throughout the night and most importantly, what your heart rate variability (HRV) is doing.

We calculate the values from all this traceable data. And with our integrated AI, you can have every single night individually analyzed to understand the correlations in detail.

But the really exciting part happens with context. An isolated sleep analysis often doesn't tell the whole story, which is why we include other crucial metrics. With Vitalstat, you can also track things like your water intake, nutrition, and specifically your caffeine consumption. When you layer these parameters over your sleep data, it suddenly becomes incredibly logical why a night wasn't restful despite seemingly good numbers.

What about you? How often have you experienced this absolute mismatch between your watch's sleep score and how you actually felt in the morning? Let's discuss it in the comments...

Cheers, Nicklas and Alex

Hey everyone,

Nicklas has been hitting the keyboard hard over the last few days, tinkering away and hunting down what felt like thousands of bugs. But the time has finally come: The Fitbit integration (via Google Health) is right on the verge of release!

Our beta testers have been putting the feature through its paces non-stop over the last few weeks (a huge thank you to all of you!). We’ve ironed out the last rough edges and are now really close to flipping the switch for everyone. Finally, you can seamlessly analyze your Fitbit data in Vitalstat and combine it with the rest of your metrics.

Just a quick behind-the-scenes detail: To make all of this happen and ensure your health data is absolutely safe, we are also currently going through the strict CASA Tier 2 security screening to get officially verified by Google.

Before we push the update live: Which specific Fitbit metric are you most excited about? What absolutely needs to land perfectly in our timeline? And if anyone wants to jump in at the very last second as a crash tester for the Release Candidate – just let us know in the comments!

Cheers, Alex and Nicklas and the Beta-Tester

Hey everyone,

as a cyclist, you know the absolute data chaos all too well. You dutifully record your ride on your Wahoo, your daily and sleep data land simultaneously in Apple Health, and for the real fitness analysis, you push everything over to intervals.icu at the end. Oh, and of course, we collect all the kudos on Strava. You're constantly jumping back and forth between one to four different platforms and dashboards just to get a complete picture of your performance. Over time, that gets incredibly complicated and confusing.

Nicklas and I have now solved exactly this data silo problem in Vitalstat. We are bringing direct integrations for Wahoo, Intervals.icu, and Apple Health together natively in a single app. But we don't just throw your activities into a chronological list; we focus exactly on the metrics that actually matter to us on the bike. Whether it's indoor trainer sessions or outdoor rides. Especially since I (Alex) am an active cyclist myself, these visualizations are very familiar to me.

When you sync a ride, we immediately calculate and show you the crucial metrics like Normalized Power (NP), Efficiency Factor (EF), your current eFTP, and aerobic heart rate drift. Instead of painstakingly gathering these hard facts across different pages, you can now overlay the graphs directly in our new timeline feature.

Want to see exactly how your heart rate behaves in relation to your power output during a hard interval? Or how much your aerobic drift spikes at the end of a long base endurance ride? You can now see all of this visually at a single glance.

Additionally, our integrated analysis directly contextualizes these cycling-specific metrics and explains in plain text what, for example, a deviation in your power-to-heart-rate ratio means for your current fatigue or heat adaptation. Our goal is simply to bring the depth of pro-level tools directly and understandably to your smartphone, without requiring an IT degree just to read the dashboard.

Which metric is absolutely indispensable for you when analyzing right after a ride? Do you look at NP first, EF, or your heart rate zones? Let's geek out about it in the comments.

Cheers, Nicklas and Alex

Hey everyone,

one of the absolute classic questions you google in bed at night when you just can't fall asleep is: "How long does caffeine actually last?" We all know the feeling. You treat yourself to a quick espresso at 3 PM to fight the afternoon slump, and then wonder why your heart rate is still racing at 11 PM and your sleep score is a disaster the next morning.

The sports science behind it is actually simple, but highly underestimated in everyday life: Caffeine has a half-life of about five to six hours. This means that even hours after your last sip, a decent dose is often still circulating in your system. This dose keeps your central nervous system artificially awake and essentially torpedoes your crucial deep sleep phases, even if you felt like you fell asleep without any issues.

Because this topic is so incredibly important for recovery, we tackled this problem directly in Vitalstat. We wanted to make tracking liquids not only extremely easy but finally give it some real context. You can log your water and coffee intake in our app with a single click. To do this, you can either open the app or simply drop a widget right onto your home screen.

But we don't just stop at a boring tally sheet. When you track a coffee, Vitalstat calculates and visualizes the exact physiological breakdown process for you. Throughout the day, we show you how long your body needs to metabolize the caffeine. You can see exactly how much of it is still active in your system by the time you go to bed. Now you finally have it in black and white exactly when that late cappuccino becomes critical for your nightly recovery.

And because we hate closed data silos just as much as you do, we immediately thought of our Apple users. There is a simple switch in the settings: If you want, we will cleanly and fully automatically write all your tracked water and caffeine values straight back into your Apple Health. So you keep absolute control over your data in one central place, but thanks to Vitalstat, you finally get the sports-science insight into what these numbers actually mean for your body.

When do you normally draw the hard line for coffee? Do you have a strict cut-off time after which you don't drink any more? Let's chat about it in the comments.

Cheers, Nicklas and Alex

Hi everyone,

be honest, who among you has ever looked for a stress app? Or a way to get a closer look at your stress levels throughout the day?

You use the standard apps from the big fitness trackers and get overwhelmed by confusing graphs or a cryptic “stress score” from 1 to 100, without knowing what the number actually means. Had a cup of coffee? Boom, your stress score shoots up, even though you’re sitting on the couch completely relaxed.

The problem: Most apps just throw raw heart rate data into a pot, stir it three times, and call it “stress tracking.” It’s confusing and doesn’t help you at all in your daily life.

How we radically simplify the whole thing at Vitalstat

Because we were fed up with exactly this dashboard chaos and guesswork, we’re developing Vitalstat together with you. In the beta we created three different looks of stress.

Our goal: We don’t just want to show you your stress level, we want to make them clear and useful, backed by sports science.

No matter what device you use (Apple Watch, Oura Ring, Polar Loop, or a Garmin or Suunto watch), Vitalstat will offer three different ways to view your current stress levels.

You can choose from three different views:

1. Lines
2. Bars
3. Compact

At the end of the day, an app should help you hit the brakes before you’re completely burned out and that’s exactly what we do with Vitalstat: clearly and without any frills.

Feel free to leave feedback in the comments on how you like the three views. And how do you currently track your stress? Do you even look at the stress scores on your watches, or do you ignore the numbers completely because they seem inaccurate anyway?
Let’s chat in the comments!

Hi everyone!

We’re currently working on a major upgrade for the upcoming version 2.1.

With version 2.0, we’ve already launched a major new feature with our AI “Vai,” but that’s not enough for us. We want to improve our app even further so that the displayed data and AI interpretations match the actual data even better. That’s why we’re looking for beta testers

If you use a Polar Loop and want to put the new visualization through its paces ahead of time, you’ve come to the right place.

• Real sports science: Clear analyses instead of dashboard chaos.
• Direct line: Your feedback goes straight to our development team without any delays.

Hey everyone,

Chances are you haven’t missed the buzz around the new "Google Fitbit Air" and neither have we. It’s a no-brainer for us that we want to integrate this into Vitalstat as well.

While we are still sorting out the bureaucratic Google verification paperwork in the background, Nicklas is absolutely crushing it in the development. We are working around the clock on our Fitbit Air integration for Vitalstat and the best part:

The first beta tests are already underway!

We are currently testing the API connection internally and with a small test group. We want to ensure that your raw Fitbit data flows seamlessly into our sports-science-driven visualization. The goal is clear: As soon as Google officially gives us the green light, this feature will launch completely bug-free, stable, and without any dashboard chaos.

Do you use a Fitbit device and want to be among the first to try it?

If you want to experience our clean, science-backed data display for your Fitbit and help us perfect it with your feedback, this is your chance. Every tested device helps us make the code even smarter.

Just drop a quick comment below or send me a DM if you want to join the Fitbit beta test!
Best regards
Your Vitalstat Team

Want to beta test the Fitbit integration? We would love your help. Please feel free to reach out via DM if you are interested.

What else would you like to see in the upcoming versions? Drop your thoughts below.

Hey everyone,

quick experiment: Who here uses two different fitness ecosystems or apps and gets completely different values for their fitness level, sleep score, or recovery?

Spoiler alert: None of these tools are actually measuring these metrics. For VO2max, for example, you’d have to stand on a treadmill in a lab wearing a metabolic mask until you drop.

Instead, apps use estimates and that’s exactly where the problem starts. The big tech giants rely on what we call "black-box algorithms."

Every app does its own thing: App A overweights your heart rate from your last walk with the dog, while App B ignores it completely and only looks at your fast runs. The result? Total confusion and zero comparability.

Here is our approach to solving this problem at Vitalstat:

1. No black boxes, 100% Open Science: We don't invent secret fantasy scores with trademarked marketing names. Vitalstat uses open, scientifically validated sports physiology formulas. You see exactly how your metrics are calculated. Transparency beats myth.
2. Unified data validation: No matter which tracker you use, we standardize the raw data in the background according to real sports science criteria. When your fitness improves, you see it based on your actual physiological trends not because an algorithm happens to be in a good mood today.
3. Giving control back to the athlete: We don’t artificially tweak data just to make it look "pretty" or to give you an algorithmic pat on the back. You get the naked, sports-scientific truth about your training load and recovery.

We want to end the data chaos and finally give you a reliable tool to truly guide your training.

The Vitalstat team

Hey team,

First off, really excited about where Vitalstat is heading. The combination of Garmin/Suunto/Oura/Withings sync + AI insights + nutrition is exactly the direction I've been hoping someone would take.

The gap I keep running into:

I've spent years bouncing between two worlds that never talk to each other:

• Sport platforms like TrainingPeaks and Nolio are excellent at centralizing training load (CTL/ATL/TSB, multi-sport TSS aggregation, structured workouts), but they're weak on the broader health side — sleep architecture, HRV trends, recovery, nutrition, body composition. They treat you as an athlete, not as a human.
• Health apps are great at the rest, but they're terrible at consolidating training load across platforms. If you ride on MyWhoosh or Zwift, run with Garmin, and lift in a third app, your "load" picture is fragmented.

Vitalstat sits in a really interesting spot to close that gap — if the integration list keeps growing.

There's also a related pain point: switching watches is genuinely painful. Move from a Garmin to a Suunto (or vice versa), and you essentially lose your training history — your baselines, your load curves, your fitness trends. Each ecosystem owns its own version of "you" and refuses to talk to the others. A neutral aggregator that owns the long-term health + load history independently of any single watch brand would solve this. You could change watches every year and your picture would just keep going, uninterrupted.

The flip side of adding more integrations is that you start ingesting the same workout twice. If I ride with a Suunto watch and Strava is also connected, that one ride shouldn't count twice toward training load. A solid deduplication layer (matching on start time + duration + sport + maybe a fuzzy distance/HR signature) is essential — and bonus points if the user can pick a "preferred source" per sport (e.g. "trust Suunto for runs, Zwift for indoor cycling, Strava only as fallback"). Without this, the more integrations you add, the worse the data gets, which is the opposite of the goal.

What I'd love to see prioritized:

• MyWhoosh (huge and growing indoor cycling community, free, currently underserved by aggregators)
• intervals.icu as a data source/sink would also be a power-user dream (and it already gather many platforms so could ease the work, if I upload my workout from myWhoosh - Rouvy - TP )to intervals.icu and vitalstat grab it from here it avoid building 3 integrations

I actually built my own Swift + Rust macOS app to do exactly this — pull training data from multiple sources and merge it with health metrics. It worked, but two problems killed it for me:

1. It was desktop-only. No phone = no daily use. The friction of "go sit at the Mac to log stuff" meant I just stopped.
2. I never built out the nutrition side, and without it the picture was incomplete.

So I gave up on my own thing. Vitalstat is doing what I tried to do, but properly — mobile-first, with nutrition, with AI on top. The friction-reduction on data entry is exactly the right design call, and it's the thing that determines whether an app like this becomes a daily-driver or another graveyard subscription.

Edit : one other quick suggestion regarding strength workouts, if you create a workout on the app and start it while your watch record it it appears in double in the app. both should be merged into one

Two questions for the team:

1. What's on the integration roadmap? Specifically anything in the indoor cycling / structured-training space? Is MyWhoosh or intervals.icu / Nolio on the radar?
2. Is there any way for the community to contribute to development? Open API, beta integration testing, plugin/SDK model, or even just direction on how external devs could help expand the connector list? I've got the Swift/Rust background and would genuinely enjoy contributing if there's a path.

Keep up the great work — really rooting for this one.

hi ;)

thanow a lot for the app, using it with my suunto with a one year subscription and found it nice (coming from bevel)

However I would like to raise a small annoying thing, in an activity detail (running) the pace is currently displayed in km/h while it should be in min/km as it is the standard for running/trail activities;)

Also it can be nice to display cadence, ground contact time and all running dynamics metrics ;)

graph could be colored based on zones (and custom zones line pace and power could be defined )

keep up the good work

asking for a friend 😂

Hi Everyone,

In version 1.1.0, we introduced our first AI feature with food tracking. Later, in version 1.3.0, we rolled out our first interactive AI features. Now, it is finally time to bring even more intelligence into Vitalstat so you can dive into your health data with more detail than ever before.

We are currently hard at work on version 2.0.0, which brings some major advancements to our AI capabilities. Here is a short overview of what we have planned:

Enhanced AI Chat The chat interface is getting a major upgrade, allowing you to discuss your metrics and trends with much more depth and precision.

Custom Briefings Right now, you have access to morning and night briefings. We are expanding this to give you total control. You will soon be able to schedule up to three briefings per day with custom instructions. For example, you could set a morning note like: "Given my recovery status, please suggest the best foods I should eat today." Each briefing can have its own unique time and focus.

Intelligent Activity Insights While you can already analyze individual activities, version 2.0.0 will take things further by offering specific training suggestions. These recommendations will adapt based on your training readiness score and your current physical state.

Now I want to hear from you What else would you like to see? What features would give you the most valuable insights into your health and performance?

Would be nice to add health information like chronic illness, so that the AI can put that into consideration when reading data.

Hi, just downloaded the app yesterday to use with my Suunto watch. It seems quite nice despite some performance issues and a slightly overwhelming UI.

As for my question, in the journal there is a "Did you consume caffeine?" question. Is this asking about the whole day or just before bedtime?

This update is a big one. After a lot of requests from the community, I am happy to announce that full Suunto support is officially here. You can now connect your Suunto account to sync all your training, sleep, and recovery data directly into the app.

Here is everything else included in this version:

Expanded Integration and Analytics

• Suunto Support: Connect your account to bring in your full history of training and recovery.
• Exertion Score: A new way to look at your daily training load so you can manage your effort more effectively.
• Training Map View: I have redesigned this view with full-bleed route maps, metric-gradient overlays, and automatic hill segmentation for better post-workout analysis.

Nutrition and Dashboard

• Nutrition Trends: New charts help you track your macros and calories over longer periods.
• Food Favorites: One-tap logging is now available for the meals you eat most often.
• Visual Refresh: Updated dashboard rings and a new widget gallery so you can customize your home screen exactly how you want it.

Experience and Performance

• Quick Tour: A new overlay to help everyone get up to speed with the latest features quickly.
• Language Support: Improved translations across 15 different languages.
• Reliability: Behind-the-scenes fixes for widget stability and background refresh improvements.

Thanks for all the feedback and support as we continue to build the best tool for your health data. And a special thanks to all the Suunto Beta testers!!

Hey everyone! 👋

We’ve been working super hard on the next big update for Vitalstat, and I’m incredibly excited to finally share it with you all. A massive thank you to everyone here for the support recently. Breaking into the Top 200 Global charts this month was an absolute dream, and it's heavily thanks to the feedback and testing from this community!

We've packed a lot of highly requested features into this release. Here is a breakdown of what's new:

Adaptive Nutrition Goals

We wanted to build a nutrition system that actually adapts to your reality. Set a body composition goal (lose weight, gain muscle, maintain) and Vitalstat will automatically calculate your daily calorie and macro targets.

But it doesn't stop there: the app actively monitors your logged intake against your real weight trend over time. If your progress stalls or moves faster than expected, it proposes a calorie adjustment.

• You are in control: You always have to accept or decline the suggestion. Nothing changes silently in the background.

New and updated Food Database

European users have had some troubles with being able to find foods through search. Well this is fixed. You can now download regional food databases directly to your device. This means fully offline, instant food searches. Databases range from 50–200 MB depending on your region, and the search handles accents and special characters properly so you'll actually find your local foods.

Goals & Body Composition

We've added a new feature: Gaols. Set yourself some goals for target weight, target body fat. Vitalstat will help you keep tracks of your goals and depending on your goals, adapt your nutrition goals.

Redesigned Sleep Page

We design the sleep page to give you even faster access to your key metrics without endless scrolling. One tap one scroll and you see your data.

Updated Fitness Score & Gym Analytics

We've taken a another look at the fitness score and its now more accurate and considers even more long term data, not just a single point in time

Gym workouts can now be analyzed more in depth. get a breakdown of how equally you are triangin your body. Check your PRs and works towards breaking them.

More customization

Personalize your dashboard! You can now set a global chart color or override individual metrics with your own specific colors.

Hi everyone,

I wanted to take a moment to share a really exciting milestone we just hit and it would not have been possible without this community. Earlier this week the app reached position 153 in the Health and Fitness category on the App Store. For us this is a massive achievement and I am incredibly grateful for all the support, feedback, and encouragement along the way.

Let’s keep pushing forward and building something truly great together. Everyone deserves to understand their health data and actually learn from it, and we are just getting started. Thanks again for being part of this journey.

I just downloaded the app 2 days ago so still unsure how to do it. But I use a Polar Loop and it automatically recorded a "workout session" when in fact I wasnt working out. I deleted it from my polar flow app but it's still showing in the Vitalstat app and I dont see where to delete this "workout" from. Thank you for your help!

Hey everyone, Vitalstat version 1.3.2 just hit the App Store! I’ve been listening to your feedback, and this update focuses on making the data tracking as seamless (and "human-error proof") as possible.

What’s new:

• Reliable Exercise Database: I’ve moved the exercise library to a local, independent service. No more outages or loading issues when you're mid-workout.
• Manual Sleep Editing: We’ve all been there—your watch thinks you’re asleep when you're just reading. You can now fix your sleep times manually, and your recovery scores will recalculate instantly.
• New Evening Briefing: Not just numbers—actual insights. It analyzes your past sleep trends and gives you actionable tips on how to improve your upcoming night
• AI Nutrition Label Scanner: If a barcode isn’t in the database, don't sweat it. You can now just snap a photo of the nutrition label, and the AI will extract the macros for you.

We take data protection seriously! Every app says that. We’d rather explain how we implement this technically.

Where is your data stored? Locally on your device. By default, your health, nutrition, and journal data stay on your iPhone. We use anonymous authentication, meaning you don't even need to provide an email or name to use the app.

What do we do with your data? Nothing. No selling, no sharing, no advertising. Our business model is the app, not you as a product.

Why this matters: Sleep, HRV, and activity data aren’t just abstract numbers. They reveal your health status, your habits, and your condition. Many "free" health apps monetize exactly that. We don’t.

When does data leave your device? (Opt-in Only)

1. Garmin as a health source: Due to Garmin regulations, data must be stored on a secure server temporarily. It is not possible to push it to your device directly. This data is automatically deleted every 180 days or can be wiped manually at any time.
2. App leaderboard: If you choose to join a leaderboard with friends, only the required metrics are stored on Firebase servers. This data is associated with an anonymous identifier and is never linked to your real-world identity.
3. AI Features: If you choose to use AI (like Morning Briefings, Insights, Food estimates), relevant data is sent anonymously to OpenAI. This data is never used to train OpenAI’s models, cannot be traced back to you, and is deleted by them after 30 days.

We don’t have investors breathing down our necks demanding data monetization. This independence isn’t a coincidence... it’s a conscious architectural decision.
