What makes a recovery app useful on Apple Watch
If Apple Watch already records sleep, heart rate, and workouts in Apple Health, you do not need another device to check recovery. You need to know whether today's readings support a harder effort.
Arry shows sleep, HRV, resting heart rate, stress, and recent load beside the recovery score.
In the morning, it helps to see both the score and the readings that moved it.
Which signals Arry uses
Arry uses several Apple Health measurements for recovery.
Apple Watch records the data; Arry shows it with the recovery score.
How you use it each day
Open Arry in the morning and look at the recovery score first. Then read the explanation underneath it: what moved the score, whether sleep helped, whether HRV is below baseline, and whether recent load is still weighing on you.
Use the score this way:
- High recovery: good day for a quality session or harder work.
- Medium recovery: keep volume and intensity moderate.
- Low recovery: move or lighten the hard session.
What Arry gives you
- A recovery score with the readings that affected it.
- Sleep, HRV, resting heart rate, stress, and recent load.
- Apple Watch data without another wearable.
- On-device processing for core health metrics.
To see which measurements enter the score, open the Arry methodology page. How data is handled is described on the privacy page.
Who Arry is for
Arry is for people who already use Apple Watch and want to consider sleep, HRV, and load when planning their day:
- use Apple Watch regularly and want a recovery score from Apple Health data;
- care about HRV and sleep, but do not want to interpret them manually every day;
- want readiness guidance without switching to a second subscription wearable;
- want core health data processed on the device.
If your main interest is deeper HRV interpretation, continue to the Apple Watch HRV page. If you want the same idea framed around today's plan, continue to the Apple Watch readiness app page. If you want the load side of the picture, continue to training load for Apple Health.

Questions people ask before installing
Do I need an Apple Watch?
Not strictly. Arry works with Apple Health data, and Apple Watch can regularly record heart rate, HRV, sleep, and workouts there.
Is Arry just an HRV viewer?
No. Compare HRV with sleep, resting heart rate, stress, and recent load before changing today's effort.
Is the app free?
Arry is available free on the App Store. The best way to evaluate it is with your own Apple Health data over several days.
