Livity: Sleep & Health Tracker

As a fitness buff who loves my wearables and tracking data, I just downloaded Livity today to give it a try. Obviously, I’m new to the app, but I am thrilled and floored with how much data it can pull into one place. It’s pulling in my nutrition from MacroFactor, my data from Garmin, etc and it’s arranged in clear and compelling ways. There’s a learning curve to understanding some of the app’s verbiage and calculations but everything has explainer notes to help you follow along. I’ve wished for years for something just like this — all my info in one place. And it syncs lightning fast with other apps, too. Impressive all around. It would be awesome if in the future you could upload data like DEXA or RMR scans, but even as-is it’s a dream come true. I’ll probably switch my subscription to yearly later this month because this is totally worth it already.

I had this app once before it really inspired me and really became a big help in understanding my body health throughout the day when I’m on the job. Essentially since I work in the restaurant industry. When I first started working in the restaurant, I never knew how much of an impact it had on the body, both physically and mentally. Eventually I downloaded the app again on my iPhone and Apple Watch and subscribed to get the full experience. Today, it’s a companion to lean on for emotional support. I truly recommend giving Livity a try and subscribe to see how much it can be a calming influence for you to understand the importance of understanding your body and knowing of when to be physical and when you need to rest and recover to allow yourself and your body to function properly!!!

First, I’ll say I’m very much enjoying this app. Echoing another review, this is as close to Garmin’s native fitness and recovery data presentation and analysis as I’ve found on the Apple Watch, and I like it very much. Layout is clean, clear, and the analysis is very accurate. That said…first, the loading time is a bit rough. I’m on an iPhone 16e and have an AWU3; if these are struggling to load this app and its data quickly, all versions must be as well. Not sure what’s going on behind the scenes, but please find a way to reduce that strain; it’s noticeable and honestly pretty inconvenient to get that delay every single time. Additionally, I have one major concern: fitness age seems to pull data completely differently from all other analysis. After the initial indexing, Livity gave me great insights on 99% of these buckets based on my Apple health history. Great insight on sleep, recovery, training load, etc. and yet…somehow my fitness age - specially the vigorous minutes - is insanely off. I workout for two hours a day - and have for months and months - but it’s claiming 5 minutes a day for vigorous exercise minutes. That’s…a worrying oversight.
