The recovery variable your wearable can't see.
You already measure sleep, load, and HRV. Therma adds the one variable that explains the rest: how you actually felt. A 60-second check-in, lined up against your recovery data every week.

The problem
Your Oura knows your HRV dropped 14 points. It does not know it was the argument, not the intervals. That is the gap in every training stack: the physiological data is complete and the emotional data does not exist, so recovery scores keep surprising you. A rested body underperforms and the plan gets blamed.
An overreached week feels fine and the signal arrives late. Coaches call it readiness. Most of what moves it never makes the spreadsheet.
“Your body has been keeping score. This is where you read it.”
How Therma helps
Therma is the missing column. Sixty seconds a day to mark how you actually felt, then a weekly reveal that lines mood up against HRV, sleep, and load through Apple Health and Oura.
Patterns surface fast: which stressors show up in your body a day later, what a real off day does for the numbers, and when flat motivation is fatigue rather than weakness. It is the difference between guessing at readiness and reading it.
What you get
- 1The 60-second check-in
Faster than your warmup. One question after training or before bed, from the athlete's version of a day: early, tired, and full.
- 2The weekly reveal
Mood against HRV, sleep, and load, week over week. The reveal shows what actually moved your recovery, including the things that never touch a training plan.
- 3Chat
Off days, setbacks, the identity wobble when a block goes badly. Chat sits with it. No advice, no fixing, no pep talk.
Common questions
Does Therma replace my training platform or coach?
No. It sits alongside them. Training software measures what your body did; Therma measures what the day felt like. The overlap between the two is where readiness actually lives.
Which wearables does it read?
Apple Health and Oura today, which covers Apple Watch and most ring data. The reveal pulls sleep and HRV automatically once you connect them.
Will it guilt me on rest days?
No. Nothing in Therma punishes a missed session or a quiet week. The streak forgives, the reveal observes, and rest days are data, not failures.
