Heart

An HRV tracker that actually interprets what it sees.

Most apps show you HRV as a single number and call it a day. Wellness Project reads it against your 30-day baseline, your training load, your sleep, and your alcohol intake, then tells you whether to push or pull back today.

What's inside

HRV interpretation that doesn’t require a degree

Daily HRV

Pulled from Oura and Fitbit directly, and from Apple Watch (or any other wearable that writes to Apple Health) on iOS. Plotted against your personal 30-day baseline so today’s reading has meaning.

Resting heart rate

Same source, plotted with HRV inverted. RHR up + HRV down = stressed; RHR down + HRV up = recovered.

Recovery score in Fit Score

Your daily Recovery component is built from HRV and RHR vs your 30-day baseline (HRV weighted slightly heavier). It sits inside the Fit Score alongside Train, Sleep, Fuel, Steps, and Wellbeing.

Variance & trend

7-day rolling baseline, 30-day baseline, and the gap between them. A widening gap is when something is changing, and Max will say so.

Cross-correlation insights

"On nights you sleep under 7h, HRV drops 4ms vs baseline. Eleven of those in the last 30 days." Real Max-style replies.

Multi-device dedup

HRV methodology differs across devices. When multiple sources log the same day, Wellness Project picks one and dedupes the rest so the trend stays comparable.

In the app

The single most useful daily metric, finally usable

HRV is the cleanest single proxy for autonomic-nervous-system state, the gap between sympathetic stress and parasympathetic recovery. Reading it well means knowing your personal baseline, what training you did yesterday, what you ate, what you drank, and how you slept.

Wellness Project does that read automatically. The biohacker, Max Kline, reads HRV against your training load, alcohol, sleep, and stress in one pass. The output isn’t “HRV is 47, that’s good or bad?” It’s “HRV ran 8% below your 30-day baseline three days running, Tuesday late HIIT and last night’s alcohol both fit; cut one or take a true rest day.”

Same data feeds Evelyn’s longevity reads (lower HRV is broadly associated with cardiovascular risk in observational research), Elias’s training decisions (low HRV days bump easy runs), and Coach Jamie’s workout-load suggestions.

See Track the caffeine. Then see what it is doing to the rest of your day. for how Wellness Project handles this in the app.

FAQ

FAQ

Apple Watch vs Oura, which is best for HRV?+
In our experience: Oura is consistent for overnight, multi-sample HRV; Apple Watch is fine for daily morning readings. Whatever you use, the most useful thing is keeping it consistent, we never vouch for any individual reading, only the trend against your own baseline.
Is HRV actually predictive?+
For day-to-day training-readiness, yes, when read against your own baseline. As an absolute number across people, no, there’s huge inter-individual variance. We always coach against your baseline.
Why does my HRV crash on weekends?+
Often: alcohol, late food, late training, less sleep. Wellness Project surfaces the correlation rather than guessing. It’ll be obvious in the chart within 2-3 weeks.
