About Aera: Sleep & Running Tracker
Aera plans running loops from your door, replays your recent runs in 3D over the real ground, and reads your sleep and recovery against your own usual, on iPhone and Apple Watch, with no account. Aera reads Apple Health on your iPhone. Every run, walk, ride and night is read against your own usual, and every number opens the article behind it. TODAY: HARD, EASY OR REST Your recovery, sleep, stress and recent training decide the call, free for everyone. With Premium, Aera writes today's session: how long and how hard. PICK A DISTANCE. AERA DRAWS THE LOOP. Up to three loops that start and end where you stand: one on ground you know, one new to you, and one off-road, or along cycleways on a ride. Size them by distance or by minutes. Where there is enough to see, a Sights loop passes the best-known places, and a loop past a viewpoint can be timed for the sunset. DRAW YOUR OWN Tap and the line keeps to real paths, or drag to draw freehand. The distance counts as you draw. Open a GPX file and it is ready to follow. EVERY TURN, BEFORE IT COMES Turn by turn on your iPhone and Apple Watch, spoken if you want it, with a word when you leave the route and when you are back on it. EVERY WORKOUT, EXPLAINED Splits, heart rate zones, climb and the effort the session actually cost you, against your own usual. Fly back over any run from the last seven days. READ AGAINST YOU, NOT AN AVERAGE Recovery, stress, strain and sleep are scored against a baseline learned from your own nights and sessions. While your history is thin, Aera says so instead of guessing. YOUR NIGHT, IN ITS OWN SHAPE The stages as they happened, the hours you slept, and how far that sat from the need Aera learned from you. EVERY NUMBER, EXPLAINED The Field Guide explains how each read is built, the research behind it, and where it stops being reliable. ON YOUR HOME SCREEN Widgets in every size, on the Home Screen and the Lock Screen. FREE Recovery, stress, strain and your sleep score, every day. Hard, easy or rest. Loops, the route planner and turn by turn. Every workout read, every personal best and your recap films. Flyover for the last seven days. Twelve months of history, and your raw data out as JSON or GPX. PREMIUM Today's session. Your sleep reserve. Your places. Flyover for older routes. Every route you draw kept (the first one is free). History past twelve months. Reports and every export format. Monthly, yearly, or once and yours for good. PRIVACY Health numbers stay on your iPhone. No account, no sign in. Your scores are computed on your iPhone, and there is no language model anywhere in the app. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
What’s new
Version 3.3 · Updated October 11, 2026
Hello again! Since 3.2 I have been busy with three things: loops that work in the middle of a city, a lighter look, and more on your wrist. Here is what 3.3 brings. LOOPS, DOWNTOWN TOO Ask for a loop from a city centre and Aera now finds one, and it finds loops from more starting points. Search the Map for a place, switch on drinking water, and filter where you have run by sport or year. Leave a route you are drawing and it waits on the map until you resume. A LIGHTER LOOK The nature photographs are gone. Aera is lighter, with one drawn background everywhere, and the Map now has a light mode. TODAY, AT A GLANCE Three rings on Today: touch and hold one to see its score, or keep the scores showing. Timeline draws your day as one line, with your sessions, where the day is now and tonight's bedtime. NEW: BLOOD PRESSURE Readings from your cuff in Apple Health, with averages, a daily range chart, and mornings beside evenings. Give a reading a tag, like coffee or a short night. With Premium, build a report for your doctor as a PDF or a spreadsheet. MORE ON YOUR WATCH Double tap to mark a lap, set your pool length before a swim, and see your next turn on the map. With Premium, build your own workout pages and set a pace or heart window that taps your wrist when you drift out of it. IMPROVEMENTS - Fitness says how much room you have to train today. - Stress shows your day as one line and names the tense stretches. - Search the Field Guide by any word inside an article. - Touch a split to see that stretch on the workout chart. - Notification settings show what each note will say. - Smoother sleep and heart charts, more natural translations, and plenty of small fixes. Aera is made by one person, and a review on the App Store is the best way to help others find it. Questions or ideas? https://vargagergo-git.github.io/aera-site/. I read everything.
