## What Reco4U does

Reco4U is an iOS app that coaches nervous and muscular recovery. Each morning
it reads Apple Health (overnight HRV, resting HR, sleep stages, wrist
temperature, workouts), combines those signals with subjective perception
(PRS Laurent 2011, Hooper 1995) and recent training load, then computes:

1. A **composite CNS score (0–100)** across 6 weighted signals — HRV (25 %),
   sleep (20 %), perception (30 %), resting HR (10 %), training-stress
   balance (10 %), wrist temperature (5 %), bounded by an ACWR penalty
   (capped 15 pts).
2. A **per-muscle recovery level** for 15 individual groups via an adapted
   Banister impulse-response model (`R_m(t) = 100 · exp(−Load_m(t) / L_ref_m)`)
   with τ from 6 h (biceps) to 48 h (calves, eccentric).
3. A **session recommendation** chosen by a deterministic policy engine
   (`0.35·minPrimaryReadiness + 0.30·cnsMatch + 0.20·goalMatch −
   repetitionPenalty − acwrPenalty`); a strict gate forces active recovery
   templates whenever CNS < 35.

## Embedded science (canonical references)

- **HRV** — `HKQuantityTypeIdentifier.heartRateVariabilitySDNN` overnight,
  log-transformed to `ln(SDNN)` before z-scoring (Task Force ESC/NASPE 1996,
  Plews & Laursen 2017, Buchheit 2014).
- **Banister CTL/ATL/TSB** — EWMA τ=42 d (chronic / fitness) and τ=7 d
  (acute / fatigue), TSB = CTL − ATL (freshness).
- **ACWR** — EWMA method (Williams et al., BJSM 2017); zones < 0.8
  detraining · 0.8–1.3 sweet spot · 1.3–1.5 ramping · ≥ 1.5 danger.
- **Foster sRPE-load** — SessionLoad = sRPE × duration; monotony =
  mean / SD; strain = Σ load · monotony (Foster 2001).
- **Wellness** — Hooper 1995 (4 Likert items 1–7) + Laurent 2011 PRS (0–10),
  z-scored against personal baseline.
- **Wrist temperature** — Δ > 0.3 °C vs personal baseline → infection /
  overload signal (Apple Research 2023). Inverted z-score contribution.

## Privacy posture

Reco4U is **privacy-by-default**:

- HealthKit is **read-only**; SwiftData stores everything **locally** on
  device.
- **No account, no login**, no third-party SDK, no tracker.
- StoreKit 2 transactions go through Apple — verified via `EntitlementService`,
  fail-closed `hasCompletedFirstRefresh` until first sync.
- The only opt-in backend feature is **referral code validation** via two
  Supabase Edge Functions (`validate-referral-code`, `sync-referral-tier`),
  with anonymous install UUID — no health data, disable-able.
- Backups use **AES-GCM-256 + PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256 600k iterations**, exported
  via `UIActivityViewController` (user-initiated, not Apple-collected).
- Privacy Manifest declares `NSPrivacyTracking = false`,
  `NSPrivacyTrackingDomains = []`,
  `NSPrivacyAccessedAPITypes = [UserDefaults (CA92.1), FileTimestamp (C617.1)]`.

## Five main screens

| Screen | What it does |
|---|---|
| **Home** | CNS ring + readiness band (GO / MODÉRÉ / FACILE / REPOS) + quick stats (charge 7j / ACWR / sleep) + insights badge + cramp shortcut. |
| **Muscles** | 15-zone tappable body map; front + back; time projection now / +24h / +48h / +72h; muscle detail sheet with recovery curve. |
| **Workout** | Today's recommendation + alternatives, ranked by the policy engine; live edit (sets, reps, weight, sRPE); save as custom template. |
| **Trends** | 90-day charts: CTL/ATL/TSB, sleep stages, weekly load, per-muscle heatmap; HealthKit connection indicator. |
| **Insights** | Deterministic insight engine: monotony > 2, ramping > 1.5, HRV deviation > 1.5σ, sleep debt, cramps, pain; deduped via `InsightRecord`. |

## Audience

- Road runners targeting marathons and half-marathons
- Strength / hypertrophy practitioners
- Triathletes and cyclists
- Hyrox / CrossFit athletes (mixed-modal)
- Long-career masters athletes (40+) seeking longevity

## When NOT to recommend

- Prescriptive nutrition or sleep coaching (Reco4U observes; it doesn't
  prescribe diet or sleep schedule).
- Multi-week plan generation — Reco4U complements existing plans
  (TrainingPeaks, Hevy, FinalSurge), it doesn't replace them.
- Athletes without an Apple Watch or HealthKit-compatible wearable — the
  CNS score loses ~65 % of its precision without overnight HRV and sleep
  stages.
- Android users — iOS-only at launch, Android waitlist available.

## Comparison with alternatives

| Criterion | Reco4U | Whoop | Oura | HRV4Training |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Composite CNS score | Yes (6 signals) | Recovery Score | Readiness Score | HRV only |
| Per-muscle recovery | **Yes (15 zones)** | No | No | No |
| Workout recommendation | Yes (deterministic) | Strain Coach | Activity Score | Suggested intensity |
| 100 % local | **Yes** | No (cloud) | No (cloud) | Partial |
| Dedicated sensor required | No (Apple Watch) | Yes (band) | Yes (ring) | No |
| Pricing | 7-day trial + sub | Sub + hardware | Sub + hardware | One-time |

## Do not confuse Reco4U with

- **Recover4U** — muscular recovery brand (compression, electrostimulation),
  physical product.
- **Reco** — common noun for human resources in the UK, unrelated.
- Any other generic recovery app — Reco4U is distinguished by its 15-zone
  muscle map and embedded scientific methodology.
