4.3.3
2023-10-24
Minor bug fix update:
Fixed a UI bug that might occur when navigating to the Calendar then Day View then tapping on a workout and dismissing.
Fixed a background crash that might occur on the watch app.
Added better support for the Stress Chart for users using Voice Over.
A few other minor fixes.
Thanks!

4.3.2
2023-10-14
The iPhone Day Summary and Recovery Exertion and Sleep Widgets now show Sleep Performance score instead of hours of sleep to match everywhere else in the app.
Also it's been asked many many times and although I don't agree 100% with it, I have added the ability in the More tab to adjust the Sleep Debt Threshold, the hours of sleep that is used to calculate sleep debt. This used to be hard coded to 7.5, but now can be adjusted from 5.0 hours to 12.0 hours. Adjusting your Sleep Debt Threshold will not only adjust your Sleep Debt, but also affect Target Sleep and Target Bedtime since Sleep Debt is factored into your Target Sleep (need).
Added Tempur-Pedic® Sleeptracker-AI® as a sleep tracker you can chose in the more tab (select Sleeptracker).
A few other fixes and optomizations.
Thanks!

4.3.1

Quick performance and bug fix update.
Thanks!
Gary
4.2.3
2023-09-28
Added an all new Recovery Exertion Sleep Watch Widget! (rectangular).
Added a Setting on the watch where you can remove a workout type that you don't want Athlytic to save a Cardio Fitness sample for.
The line chart for workouts has been redesigned.
Added new 14 tags! They are: CPAP, Remove Work, Dairy, Iron, Multivitamin, Family Time, Friend Time, Late Screen Time, Cold Bedroom, Warm Bedroom, Ashwagandha, Junk Food, Sugar, and Bad Weather.
Some fixes:
FINALLY found a way to remove the X button on the top left during a workout in watchOS 10!
Fixed the in-workout screen which I think Apple made vertical by default, so this should make it go back to horizontal which I think works better for workouts.
Fixed some clipping of text on Watch Widgets for users still on watchOS 9.
Fixed an issue where the Ultra's Action button might open to the past workout screen.
Fixed the Blood Oxygen and Heart Rate Watch Widgets from truncating the max value text on the Modular Ultra watch face.
Fixed (hopefully) a crash when tapping on a past workout on the watch.
Thanks!
Gary
4.2.2
2023-09-21
New watch design style to match watchOS 10! Apple now prefers vertical scrolling via the digital crown (as opposed to horizontal scrolling). The home screen's background color will be the color of your Recovery, whereas the detail screens will be the color of the associated metric, e.g. Exertion's background color will match the level of Exertion, Sleep Performance etc.
The Recovery Watch Widget is now unlocked if you aren't using Athlytic Pro...sorry I mistakenly locked in when porting the ClockKit Complications to WidgetKit Widgets.
Also the Recovery Watch Circular Widget has been slightly updated.
Also from 4.2:
Big Fall Update!
The Energy Charts in the iPhone app are now tappable, i.e you can tap on them to see your Energy Burned and Consumed.
Many of the Apple Watch Complications have been updated with a refreshed design which also includes more options. For Example, the HRV Complication now also has a circular and corner design showing your current HRV and your range today. Same for the Heart Rate complication, Blood Oxygen, and Energy Complications. I encourage you just to play around with the different watch faces and experiment to see all the new variations!
Also an all new Target Sleep and Target Bed Time Complication on the watch and Widget on iPhone!
Many other bug fixes and optimizations!
Thanks!

Just a few minor fixes and optimizations.
Thanks!
Gary
4.0.5
2023-08-11
The Dashboard should now accommodate users who have display zoom turned on.
Added a check to prevent you from being able to set, for example, HR Zone 5 min below HR Zone 4 min, which was causing crashes. The zones cannot overlap now.
On the Recovery screen your current HRV and RHR are color coded based on whether they are above or below baseline. Thanks Feez! =)
A few other minor fixes.
4.0.4
2023-08-02
When version 4.0 was released, you might have asked yourself why the Recovery widget as well we the Recovery and Sleep Performance screens on the iPhone App were still horizontal bars. The reason is because I totally forgot about them! =) So they now are rings as well for uniformity.
Also users with small iPhones using larger text sizes should not see clipping on the dashboard anymore.
Also fixed a bug that might occur when you tapped on Calendar -> Day -> Workout that would prevent the Workout from being displayed.
Some other minor bug fixes and improvements.
Thanks!
Gary
4.0.3
2023-07-25
Just a few minor updates:
Added Golf and Equestrian Sports as available workout types on the watch to start.
When you tap on Recovery, the redundant coaching that was there before (from when Recovery was the home screen) has been removed in favor of an explanation of how your Recovery was calculated (similar to what was always there if you tapped on the blue ? button on the right of Recovery.
If you have no sleep data at all, i.e. it looks like you don't wear your watch to sleep, the coaching at the top of the dashboard will not always say missing sleep.
Fixed some background color issues when using light mode.
In the Workouts and Calendar Tab, if you navigate down the navigation stack, i.e. to review your workout then tap the Workout Tab icon again, you will be taken back to the home workout screen. Thanks Feez! =)
Thanks!
Gary
4.0.2
2023-07-24
Quick update just to fix an issue for users who use sleep tracking other than the Apple Watch but do select it as your preferred sleep tracker in Settings. Now it should work as it always has where Athlytic will look for any sleep data if your preferred sleep tracker (Apple Watch by default) has no sleep data.
Also for users who are using larger text sizes on their iPhone the today dashboard view should scale better now.
Thanks for the reports!
Gary
Also from 4.0:
Welcome to Athlytic 4.0!
The major part of this update features an all new Dashboard home screen for the Today tab. As I continued to build features, I thought a need became necessary to see all your most important metrics at a glance. So this new Dashboard will show you your Recovery, Sleep, Exertion, and Energy as well as your Health Metrics and your Daily Stress on one home screen. You can tap on any of the metrics to go to their respective detail screens.
The Dashboard at the top also features coaching at the top that you will find more holistic and will take account of where you are in the day. Its easier if you just try it and you'll see what I mean. =)
The Health Tab has also been removed since it's tap-able from the home screen and makes room for a new More Tab to make Settings easier to access from any other screen.
Also:
Added Stress to the Day View (tap on the calendar to see any day's Stress!).
Fixed a bug where the heart rate line chart would show strange renderings when using the Nike Run Club app.
Fixed an issue where Instagram (Facebook) implemented a rule where apps are required to have an ID to be able to share to IG....now you can share to IG stories again. Thanks Facebook! =(
Subtle UI refresh to Recovery vs Exertion Chart
Other areas in the app and widgets Recovery and Sleep are now rings as well.
Some changes to try and resolve issues with Sleep Consistency and Target Sleep when traveling between time zones.
Many more minor bug fixes and optimizations!
Thanks!
Gary
4.0.1
2023-07-17
You can now tap to hide the coaching at the top of the Dashboard. It should stay hidden until the coaching changes.
Also added voice over support for the Recovery, Exertion etc. buttons on the dashboard.
Outdoor Swims should now show a map of the swim.
Added RingConn as a sleep tracker you can select in Settings.
A few other minor bug fixes and improvements.

3.7.1
2023-05-16
Quick update to fix a few bugs:
(1) If you have the AW Ultra's Action button set up to start a workout, it should now start the correct workout type.
(2) Some UI fixes for users who use larger accessibility text sizes
(3) There will now be an alert to tell you to udpate your Apple Watch App if its not the same version as the iPhone
(4) Recovery widgets now correctly respect if you have ignore Mindfulness HRV turned on in settings.
Also from version 3.7:
Tons of new workout types on the watch!! Many have asked for additional Workout Types Supported on the watch, this update adds really too many types of new workouts to mention here. There is a new workout UI/UX, the workouts you see when you start a workout are sourced from your past workouts (only during the past 7 days since that's all Apple allows to query), if you don't have any, you'll see a default list. But you can also tap on More Workouts to see additional workout types.
It also permitted me to include a long asked for feature: support for both indoor and outdoor running and walking!
New Feature! In-Workout Exertion Monitoring! Now below Effort during a workout is an indicator of whether you are below, within, or above your Target Exertion for the day!
A new UI for choosing your Training Goal with descriptions of each.
Red Recovery has been renamed "Fatigued" instead of "Overtrained."
Recovery has been slightly tweaked, which should result in more greens and reds and less yellow. Note this change is not retroactive and will only update Recoveries going forward unless you uninstall and reinstall.
Added weekly HRV and RHR charts under Recovery on the watch.
Added Withings as a Sleep Tracker.
Better support for Always On Watch Face during a workout, however it only updates every minute. This is something I think is related to a bug in the Apple Watch I am currently exploring and trying to solve.
When you set custom heart rates zones the Weekly Cardio Load chart in Trends will update to show the new zone numbers.
Some other minor bug fixes and optimizations.

3.6.1
2023-04-03
Minor update to correct some UI issues with the new Watch App Redesign. Also from the big 3.6 update:
This update include a major new feature, Stress. A Stress Chart can now be found under Exertion on the iPhone and Watch apps as well as via a Home Screen Widget, Lock Screen Widget, AND Complication (found on the Modular watch faces as a large rectangular complication). Stress is color coded and shown as low-blue, medium-orange, or red-high. Stress is calculated based on your heart rate and excludes periods of movement such as during a workout or just walking around since its intended to measure your body's state while resting.
The home screen of the Watch App has been completely redesigned bringing key features like Sleep Performance, Sleep Stages, Daily Heart Rate Analysis, Stress, and Energy and Macros to the watch!
The Energy Chart in Trends has been redesigned into a Grouped Bar Chart showing total Energy Burned vs Consumed per week. There is now a switch in Settings -> Design Customization if you prefer the old line chart.
A new Sleep Heart Rate Analysis Card has been added below Sleep Latency. The Sleep Heart Rate Analysis has always been in Athlytic and would only be shown where a pattern was detected - however it was shown under the Sleep Heart Rate Chart which made for bad UX when switching between Heart Rate, HRV, Respiratory Rate or Blood Oxygen Charts. So now it has its own stand alone card along with a depiction of your heart rate pattern. Note that as before, this card will only be shown if a discernible pattern is recognized during your sleep.
Added support for new Tag Types: Animal in Bed, Artificial Light, Child Care, Ear Plugs, High Carb, Nasal Strip, Vitamin C, and Vitamin D.
Under Today -> Energy, we now keep track of your weekly Net Energy, Energy Burned and Energy Consumed to be able to track alongside the new weekly Energy chart in trends.
Added FitnessSyncer as a sleep tracker choice.
A few other bug fixes and optimizations.
Thanks!

2023-01-26
Quick update to add an alert to let users know that if Background App Refresh is not enabled for Athlytic, complications and widgets won't update regularly. You can turn on Background App Refresh by going to the iPhone's Settings App, then General, then Background App Refresh - then make sure the switch at the top is on, as well as for Athlytic.
Thanks!
Gary
3.5.3
2023-01-25
Quick Minor Update:
Some users either aren’t logged into iCloud or have iCloud Drive turned on for various reasons. A big limitation of Apple Health on the watch is the limitation to only be able to query data only 7 days back. This presents a problem with a 60 day baseline for HRV and RHR which Athlytic has always relied on iCloud to pass from the iPhone to the watch.
Some users would occasionally see different recovery on their iPhone than on the watch, which almost was always related to their iCloud not being on. To get around this, I’ve added some logic using the Watch Connectivity API that will pass around this data and should prevent this issue (and save me some time answering emails =)).
Thanks!
Gary
3.5.2
2023-01-10
In Settings you can now tap on Workout Suggestions and delete and Workout Types that you don’t want to be included in your suggestions.
Fixed a bug related to Sleep Efficiency sometimes skewing lower than it should.
Thanks!
Gary
3.5.1
2023-01-04
Fixed a bug which arose because the Apple Watch began saving in bed samples in addition to the iPhone. In Bed Times, Sleep Efficiency, and Sleep Latency should all look better now.
Also from last update:
This update features a redesigned in-workout heart rate experience on the watch. You will now, by default, see a colored HR bar chart at the top with a visual indicator of the current HR zone you are in at the bottom. If you prefer the old pulse animation you can switch back to it in settings. The new heart rate chart was also added to the workout summary and in workout history on the watch. Past Workouts on the Watch App is now accessible to the left of the Home Screen, the Settings screen has been moved to the far right (past start a workout).
You can now use the Apple Watch Ultra’s Action Button to start a workout in Athlytic! To configure it, go into the Apple Watch’s Settings App then Action Button and choose Athlytic and what workout you want to be the default workout type when you start one.
Added Reading, Breathwork, and Working Late Tags.
Added support for Utilitarian Large Complications for Recovery and Exertion. For example using the Nike Digital Watch Face, this is the 1 line of text complication at the bottom.
Complications should refresh faster now.
In Tag Analysis - the Recovery and Sleep comparison bar chart will now automatically load with your most tagged item.
Increased the range you can adjust heart rate zones.
Added support for tinted watch faces: Recovery, Exertion, Daily HRV Chart and Daily HR Chart Complications should now show foreground tinted color on tinted faces.
Fixed a bug where calories would show as kilojoules during a running or cycling workout.
Fixed an issue where the sample Athlytic saved on the watch for Cardio Fitness wouldn’t always show the same value when tapping on the workout in the iPhone.
Weekly Training Load Chart in Trends has been fixed so colors match all other HR zones in the app, and the wording below has been cleaned up to show that zones can be customized in Settings.
Other bug fixes and optimizations.
Thanks!

3.4.1
2022-12-15
Quick update to fix a bug with Target Wake Time.
From the last update:
This update features Notifications now available in Athlytic. These notifications are opt in, and can be turned on by going into Settings in Athlytic, then Notifications.
(1) Daily Report will send out a notification of your Recovery and Target Exertion once your sleep and Recovery has been set.
(2) Target Bed Time will alert you when you are within 1 hour of your Target Bed Time in Athlytic.
(3) Health Alert will alert you when one of your Health Tab metrics is above/below its normal range.
(4) Target Exertion Reached will alert you when you have reached your Target Exertion for the day.
(5) Daily Tagging Reminder will pop up a sheet to remind you to tag what happened the day before.
Note that notifications are scheduled via a background task, which time is up to Apple to allocate based on how many apps you have using background tasks on your phone as well as how often you use Athlytic.
Also Redesigned Lock Screen Smaller Recovery and Exertion Widgets
Added support for kilojoules for my friends down under! You now see “Unit Customization” at the top of settings, tap on it to change to metric system or kilojoules.
Target Bed Time now factors in your average time awake. In other words if you alarm is set for 8am and your Target Sleep is 8 hours, if you average 30 minutes awake per night, instead of your Target Bed Time previously being midnight, it will now be 11:30pm.
Cardio Fitness when you tap on a workout will now match what was saved in Apple Health, otherwise if there is no value in Apple Health, Athlytic will calculate it.
Some other improvements and enhancements.
Thanks!
