the gap

most apps treat your body like a spreadsheet.

you log food into a static target you set in january. but your body is different every day last night's sleep, today's hrv, last week's training. tide is the only coach that closes that loop.

how it works

four signals in. one number out.

every morning at 6 a.m., tide pulls the same data your watch already collects, runs it through an on-device ai model that learns your body, and delivers a target you can actually trust with the reasoning right next to it.

01 · INPUT
the four signals from your wrist.
pulled directly from healthkit. no extra hardware, no manual logging. each signal is weighted by recency, variance from your baseline, and how predictive it has been for you historically.

02 · AI MODEL
trained on your body, not the average person.
most apps use one formula for everyone. tide's on-device model builds a personal baseline in your first 14 days, then re-weights every signal based on how predictive it has been for you. private by design inference runs locally on your phone.

03 · COACH
an ai you can interrogate, not a black box.
ask in plain english on your watch. tide answers using the same signals it set your target with and shows its reasoning if you tap to expand. ambient by default, transparent on demand.

the field

a category of one.

tide sits at the intersection of nutrition tracking, hrv monitoring, and ai coaching. each existing category does one of these well. tide is the first to do all three.

questions

things people ask before they sign up.

how is this different from a weekly trend-based tracker?
weekly trend-based trackers are excellent at adjusting calories from weekly weight averages a closed feedback loop on the scale. tide is a different loop. we use real-time recovery data (hrv, sleep, strain, wrist temperature) to adjust today's target, not last week's. the two can coexist: a weekly tracker for direction over months, tide for the right call this morning.
do i need a whoop, oura, or other strap?
no. tide reads everything from your apple watch via healthkit. if you also wear another wearable or a cgm, we can pull supplementary signals but we built this so a single watch is enough.
which apple watch models are supported?
series 8 and newer (including se 2nd-gen and ultra). we need wrist temperature and the newer hrv pipeline, which were introduced with watchos 9 on series 8. series 6/7 with ios 17 will work in a degraded mode (three signals instead of four).
how accurate is the daily recalibration in the first 14 days?
tide uses population priors during onboarding while it learns your baseline. by day 14 we've got a personal hrv/sleep distribution and the model switches to your weights. most users see meaningfully different targets by week three.
what about my privacy?
health data stays on-device by default. aggregate model training is opt-in, end-to-end encrypted, and we never sell or rent your data. you can export or delete everything from settings, and we don't run analytics sdks that profile you for ads. we're funded by you, not advertisers.
when does tide launch?
public testflight opens this quarter you'll get an invite the moment it does. early waitlist signups get access first and help shape the roadmap. app store launch is targeted for late summer.
how does the free trial work?
every paid plan starts with a 14-day free trial. you get the full pro experience adaptive engine, recovery insights, watch app, everything. no credit card needed up front. on day 14 we ask if you want to continue, and you can cancel anytime from settings or the app store with one tap.
