Timing, duration, continuity, quality and how consistent you are — each scored against your own last thirty nights, not a population average.
HRV taken from the deep-sleep window rather than a daytime average, with resting heart rate and last night's sleep weighted alongside it.
Steps, energy, exercise and stand hours — plus strain from your heart-rate data on the days the watch was on your wrist.
A hypnogram of deep, REM and core with every wake-up marked — and the five things that built your score, each shown against what is normal for you.
Measured while you were asleep, so the reading is your body at rest rather than a record of your commute.
Sitting next to recovery, a hard day reads as a hard day — not a win or a failure on its own.
Most health apps ask you to hand your data to a company and take their word for it. Refresh has no account, no analytics and no backend — the numbers are computed on your phone and stay there.
No email, no password, no profile. The app has never asked who you are.
No tracking SDK, no crash reporter, no analytics library — none at all.
Your sleep, heart rate and activity are never transmitted anywhere.
Today's scores, the dashboard, and the log — for as long as you like.

For sleep staging and HRV, yes — those come from the watch. Refresh reads whatever Apple Health already holds, so if another device writes sleep or heart rate there, that works too. Without any wearable you will still get steps and energy from your phone, but the recovery score has nothing to compute from.
Nowhere. There is no account and no server. Health data is read from Apple Health on your phone, used to draw what you see, and never transmitted. The only two outbound requests the app makes are a weather lookup, if you turn on a sunset-based bedtime goal, and a food database lookup when you scan a barcode — neither carries any health data.
Five parts: how consistent your bedtime and wake time are, how long you were actually asleep, how broken the night was, the balance of deep and REM against core, and how close you went to bed to your target. Each is scored against your own recent nights rather than a fixed ideal, so the number moves when you change.
Most apps show a daily average, which mixes your resting readings with whatever your heart was doing at 3pm. Refresh takes HRV from the deep-sleep window specifically — a quieter, more comparable measurement, and usually a different number from the one Health shows on its summary screen.
Any time, from your Apple ID subscription settings. The trial is seven days and billing starts after it, not before.
