What a good health data app does

A good app connects sleep, movement, recovery, places, habits and your wearable into a clear daily and weekly story.

Charts are the starting point. You also need to see the reading, your own average and where the number came from.

Why daygauge is different

daygauge compares how your sleep, movement, places and habits line up with your health readings.

You get one daily read in the Life Index. Weekly Reviews and Quests help you test one change at a time.

What Pro adds

Pro adds the longer view: ongoing Weekly Reviews, ongoing Quests, proven findings beyond your first and comparisons of habits, weather and travel with your health.

Your first Weekly Review, your first proven finding and the starter Quest are free. Daily readings, logging, widgets and data export stay free.

What most health dashboards still miss.

The next step after charts is comparison. A useful health data app should answer: did this change repeat, where did the reading come from, how sure is the app, and what is one small change you could try?

• Your own average: compares you with your own recent pattern, not a population figure.
• Clarity: shows the reading, your average and the days behind a finding.
• Experiments: lets you log one change, such as a caffeine cut-off, a no-vape day or a post-meal walk, and compare your next readings.
• Privacy: keeps health readings on your phone, with no account needed.
• Limits: gives research context without disease-risk prediction or treatment advice.
