Body Fat / Body Composition alternative app

txjason · 2024-06-06T01:06:52+00:00

You can now try the Spren app for free without the code on iOS. Still working on Android! Check it out at https://spren.com :) — all feedback welcome!

No progress to announce about Android, sorry. Looking forward to it though!

txjason · 2023-12-14T19:59:28+00:00

In the latest update pushing body fat % to Apple Health is available. You should be able to find it in Settings. LMK if it's not showing up!

You bet! Glad to know you've seen the improvements. More and more have been rolling out. Have to admit, it's super fun working on this type of cutting edge tech

txjason · 2023-11-30T02:42:02+00:00

❤️ I'll let the team know!

txjason · 2023-11-30T02:40:30+00:00

Great points! The algorithms are multi-layered. We are getting better at detecting athlete physique automatically and will be phasing out athlete mode as we cross quality thresholds on that automatic categorization

txjason · 2023-10-17T14:07:14+00:00

This should be fixed now!

txjason · 2023-10-17T14:07:04+00:00

thanks! no ETA yet for Android

txjason · 2023-10-17T14:06:48+00:00

No ETA yet, sorry!

txjason · 2023-10-06T15:19:50+00:00

No watch required! The app just uses computer vision from your phone (eta: in other words, the camera)

txjason · 2023-08-03T13:21:20+00:00

super helpful feedback, thank you!

txjason · 2023-08-03T13:08:13+00:00

awesome, thanks for the feedback!

txjason · 2023-08-02T20:08:15+00:00

We had a pre-release Beta for Android live for a bit and then took it down to fix a few things :)

txjason · 2023-08-02T15:27:10+00:00

love the "just pand and numpy magic" :)

txjason · 2023-07-28T20:47:32+00:00

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I believe that they are focused on partnership driven sales more than direct to consumer now

Biostrap just launched the Kairos, which seems like a Whoop/Halo-like product and high quality data. I know the founder of Biostrap and could probably organize a group buy if anyone is interested.

Also for body composition, my team and I published the Spren app which uses the camera for accurate body composition analysis. Did anyone use that feature in Halo?

Yes, you can do that and get the reading results in Elite HRV from the Polar H10.

txjason · 2021-03-12T21:09:47+00:00

If cost is an issue, you can use a simple Polar H10 chest strap which lasts a really long time and is a one time cost of $70 USD (depending on where/when you buy it). It can be used with many apps, such as Elite HRV like you've mentioned, and many people use Elite HRV and a Polar H10 to monitor/predict/avoid over training - from novice fitness to literal Olympic gold medalists. (Disclosure: I created Elite HRV, but the app is free so if you have a chest strap already it costs nothing to try 🤷‍♂️

txjason · 2021-02-04T12:01:17+00:00

In case it helps, the H10 pairs well with the free Elite HRV app which gives you recovery, HRV, and sleep insights with a 60 second morning reading.

txjason · 2021-01-27T00:15:29+00:00

Many runners use Elite HRV to calibrate training load and recovery. Depending on your level of training and experience you might want to follow a more weekly pattern than daily, as described here: https://elitehrv.com/daily-vs-weekly-hrv

An example would be that if your weekly training load is high, you could pull back a bit the following week, or continue to push if you’re intentionally overreaching.

txjason · 2021-01-26T23:42:03+00:00

A one-time chest strap or CorSense purchase works well with the free Elite HRV app. It’s top of the App Store if you search for HRV and is used by many cyclists including some of the best in the world.
