Train hard on the days your body is ready.
Freshform turns your Apple Watch data into a readiness score each morning, and scores every workout by heart rate, golf included.
It runs entirely on your iPhone, with no account. Pro is also available as a one-time purchase.
For iPhone with iOS 26. Best with Apple Watch; other trackers that write to Apple Health work too. In beta on TestFlight now.
Six weeks of training load drawn as relief: steeper means more change.
01 · Morning
The morning check
You get one number and the reasons for it. The charts are there if you want them.
Your first readiness score appears after three nights with your Watch.
02 · Apple Watch
Doesn't my Watch already do this?
watchOS shows a training load based on how hard you rate your workouts, and your overnight vitals. Freshform adds what they leave out: one readiness score each morning from heart rate variability, resting heart rate, sleep and training form, your sleep debt, and a load computed from heart rate for every workout, golf included.
03 · Golf
Golf counts.
Four hours and twelve kilometres on the course is real load. Freshform scores a round on the same heart-rate scale as a run, so a tournament weekend shows up in your fatigue and Monday's readiness takes it into account.

What it calculates
- Readiness
- A score from 0 to 100 from heart rate variability, resting heart rate and sleep, each compared with your own recent baseline, plus your training form.
- Training load
- How hard each workout was, from the time spent in each heart-rate zone (TRIMP). The same scale for a run, a ride, a gym session or 18 holes.
- Fitness, fatigue, form
- Your load over the last six weeks compared with the last week. When fatigue runs well above fitness, Freshform tells you.
- Recovery
- Sleep and sleep debt, bedtime regularity, overnight breathing rate, blood oxygen and wrist temperature, and blood pressure readings from the Health app.
- Food and water
- Scan barcodes, several at once if you like, and add a glass of water from the Home Screen widget.
- Coach
- Ask about your training in your own words. Apple's on-device language model answers, using your numbers.
- On your wrist
- The same score in the Apple Watch app and as a complication on your watch face.
05 · Data
Your data stays on your iPhone and Apple Watch.
Freshform reads Apple Health and does every calculation on the device. There is no account, no server, no analytics and no advertising. It writes to Apple Health only the food and water you log yourself.
The one thing that leaves your iPhone is a barcode number, when you look up a product in the public Open Food Facts database.
06 · Price

Why I built it
The training apps I used before all ran on a cloud backend. My heart rate, my sleep and my workouts went to servers somewhere, and I never really knew where my data lived or who could see it.
So I built Freshform the other way round. It reads Apple Health and does every calculation on the iPhone and the Watch. There is no account and no server, so there is nothing to wonder about.
