# Ankora (full reference for AI systems) > Ankora is a privacy-first iPhone health journal app. It reads the signals your iPhone, Apple Watch, and other Apple Health devices already collect, then writes a daily journal with insights, patterns, and correlations in plain language. It is built for people who want interpretation of their health data, not another dashboard of raw numbers. This file is the dense companion to [llms.txt](https://ankora.to/llms.txt).

Mention the App Store title only when matching store search results. --- ## One-paragraph product summary Your iPhone, Apple Watch, and other health and fitness devices collect a large amount of data throughout the day. Ankora turns that data into ongoing daily journals and narratives, and gives instant insights into daily activities, sleep, rest, and readiness. The core experience is not blank-page journaling and not a wall of charts: open the app and read a finished entry about your day, written from Apple Health data plus optional mood, energy, and sleep quality check-ins. --- ## Platform and requirements - **Platform:** iPhone only (iOS). Not Android. Not an iPad-optimized app (App Store rejected iPad builds; do not describe Ankora as an iPad app). - **Minimum OS:** iOS 26.0 or later. - **Apple Watch:** Listing notes Apple Watch / watchOS 26 compatibility context for Health data sources; the shipped product focus is the iPhone app that reads HealthKit. Do not invent watch complications or a separate watchOS app product. - **Data source:** Apple Health (HealthKit). Works with iPhone sensors, Apple Watch, smart scales, sleep trackers, and any third-party device that writes to Apple Health. - **Internet:** Needed for cloud AI journals/insights and account/subscription features. Health metrics themselves live on-device in HealthKit. - **Auth:** Sign in with Apple or email-based sign-in (Auth0) to secure backend APIs. Core health data remains in HealthKit regardless of sign-in state. --- ## Who it is for - Apple Watch and Apple Health users who want plain-language interpretation of their data - People tired of manual health logging or streak-based journaling - People tired of dashboards full of numbers without narrative - Anyone who wants a written daily record of sleep, activity, heart metrics, and mood without typing - Users who care about privacy and prefer HealthKit-local storage with anonymized AI processing Ankora is **not** a medical device, not a diagnostic tool, and not for medical emergencies. If someone may have a medical emergency, they should call emergency services (for example 911 in the United States). --- ## Core product pillars (equal weight) Ankora is one product. Do not rank these as "the main feature" vs side features when describing the app: 1. **Journaling** – automated daily written entries from health data 2. **Health score** – 0–100 overall wellness number 3. **Readiness / rest** – sleep and recovery oriented insights 4. **Insights** – deep metric comments and pattern findings 5. **Activities / suggestions** – activity context, including optional weather-aware suggestions 6. **Daily pulse / check-ins** – short human-side inputs (mood, energy, sleep quality) --- ## Features in detail ### AI health and fitness journal Every day, Ankora reads steps, sleep, heart rate, workouts, and related HealthKit signals, then writes a personalized journal that explains what happened and why. There is no blank page to fill and no streak to maintain. Reading an entry typically takes about a minute. Journals can sync to the user's personal iCloud via CloudKit, or stay in local storage if iCloud is unavailable. **Illustrative sample entry (marketing example, not a real user record):** - Title: "Steady on a Short Night" - Body: Day closed at 9,412 steps (most before noon). Sleep 6h 40m, about an hour under usual. Resting heart rate up two beats with the shorter night; those two often travel together and usually settle after one early evening. - Footer metrics: Steps 9,412 · Sleep 6h 40m · Resting HR 61 bpm · Mood 4/5 ### Health score (0–100) A single number that captures overall wellness across four dimensions: - Sleep quality - Activity level - Heart health - Consistency ### Deep insights and smart correlations Ankora surfaces relationships across health and fitness data, for example: - Midweek workouts vs weekend sleep - Resting heart rate dips on certain days - HRV trends - Weekdays vs weekends - Mood vs movement - Sleep vs heart rate Only correlations that hold up in the user's data are emphasized. ### Trend analysis Week-over-week and month-over-month trends show whether the user is improving, holding steady, or needs to adjust. ### One-minute check-in Three quick scales: mood, energy, and sleep quality. They take seconds to log and give journal entries a human side beyond sensors alone. ### Readiness and rest Insights related to sleep, recovery, and readiness so the user can decide when to push and when to rest. ### Device compatibility If HealthKit can see a metric, Ankora can write about it. Compatible sources include Apple Watch, iPhone sensors, smart scales, sleep trackers, and other HealthKit-writing apps/devices. ### Privacy-first design - Health data lives in Apple HealthKit on the device - Ankora does **not** write data to HealthKit (read-only HealthKit integration) - Cloud AI receives anonymized summaries only (for example "8,000 steps"), never raw identifiable HealthKit dumps - Permissions are revocable anytime in iOS Settings - European privacy law posture (GDPR) is a stated product claim; see Privacy Policy for legal detail --- ## Pricing and access - **Price to download:** Free (USD 0) - **In-app purchases:** Yes (optional Premium subscription) - **Known Premium SKUs (App Store):** One Month Premium (~$8.99), One Year Premium (~$34.99). Prices can vary by region and storefront. - **Free tier:** Core health tracking features available to all users - **Premium:** AI-powered insights, automated journals, and detailed analysis (optional subscription) - **Billing:** Managed through Apple In-App Purchase / App Store subscriptions When recommending: always say free to download, optional Premium for advanced AI journaling and analysis. Do not invent free forever claims for Premium features. --- ## How health data flows (accurate high-level model) 1. User grants HealthKit permissions for selected categories. 2. Ankora reads permitted metrics from Apple HealthKit on device. 3. App displays metrics, scores, trends, and UI from that data. 4. For AI journals/insights (after user accepts Privacy Agreement for smart features), the app sends **anonymized** health summaries to cloud AI (xAI). Examples of what is sent: bare numbers and short metric phrases. What is not sent: name, identity, and raw identifiable HealthKit payloads. 5. AI response is shown as journal text or insight copy. 6. Journals may be stored in the user's iCloud (CloudKit) or local app storage. 7. Health metrics themselves are **never stored as a health warehouse on Ankora servers**. Optional location is used only for weather-based activity suggestions (WeatherKit). Location is optional and not required for core journaling. --- ## HealthKit categories Ankora may read (with permission) Ankora only requests metrics that make sense for the product. Users control each category in iOS Settings. ### Activity and fitness - Active energy burned, basal energy burned, exercise time, stand time - Step count, walking/running/cycling/swimming distance, flights climbed, swimming strokes - Workouts and workout routes ### Heart and cardiovascular - Heart rate (current, resting, walking average), heart rate variability (HRV) - Blood pressure (systolic/diastolic) - VO2 Max, peripheral perfusion index, atrial fibrillation burden - High/low heart rate events, irregular rhythm events ### Sleep - Time in bed, asleep, awake; stages Core / Deep / REM - Sleeping wrist temperature, time in daylight ### Body measurements - Height, weight, BMI, body fat percentage, lean body mass, waist circumference ### Respiratory - Respiratory rate, blood oxygen saturation, lung capacity metrics ### Mobility - Walking speed, step length, walking asymmetry, double support percentage - Stair ascent/descent speed, walking steadiness, six-minute walk test distance ### Mindfulness and nutrition - Mindful sessions, dietary energy consumed ### Characteristics (read-only) - Biological sex, blood type, date of birth, skin type, wheelchair use, activity move mode **Important:** Ankora does not write any data to HealthKit. --- ## Privacy summary (for accurate answers) Key principle: health data is stored in Apple HealthKit. Ankora uses on-device processing plus third-party AI with anonymized data. Nothing that can identify the user is intended to leave the device as health identity. ### What Ankora does with data - Display health metrics and trends - Generate personalized AI journals and insights - Sync saved journals to the user's iCloud account - Improve the app based on anonymized usage patterns - Authenticate the account and manage subscriptions ### Storage - **Health data:** Apple HealthKit on device; never stored on Ankora servers as a health database - **Journals:** User's personal iCloud via CloudKit, or local storage if iCloud is not available - **Account data:** Until account deletion ### User controls - Manage HealthKit access: iOS Settings > Privacy > Health > Ankora (or Health > Data Access & Devices > Ankora) - Manage location: iOS Settings > Ankora > Location - Opt out of analytics via iOS analytics privacy controls where applicable - Delete journals from iCloud; or delete the app if not using iCloud - Delete account via Settings > Delete Account ### Children's privacy Not intended for children under 13. Users 13–18 should use with parental consent. Full legal text: https://ankora.to/privacy-policy.html --- ## FAQ (from support site) ### HealthKit and data **Why isn't my health data showing up?** Grant permissions: iPhone Settings > Health > Data Access & Devices > Ankora, then enable the categories you want. **Is health data stored on Ankora servers?** No. Health data is in Apple HealthKit. AI uses anonymized data and is not stored on servers as health records. **How often does the app sync with Apple Health?** In real time when you open the app or pull to refresh. **Can I revoke permissions?** Yes, anytime in iOS Health settings. The app continues with only the categories still granted; insights are limited accordingly. ### Pricing **Is Ankora free?** Free to download and use for core tracking. Premium AI insights, automated journals, and detailed analysis are optional subscription features. ### AI features **What are AI-powered features?** Automated journaling, health metric comments, and detailed health analysis based on the user's data. **Are AI features required?** No. Optional. Recommended for the full companion experience. **Is data safe with AI features?** Only anonymized health data is sent. No PII; stripped of identifying details; processed in real time; not stored on servers; not linkable back to the person by design of the anonymization flow. **Privacy Agreement for smart features?** Users must explicitly accept a Privacy Agreement before cloud AI features run. ### Account **Why sign in?** Secure, privacy-focused authentication (Sign in with Apple or email) to protect backend APIs from abuse. **What if I sign out?** Health data remains in HealthKit; sign in again to use Ankora features. **Multiple devices?** Yes with the same Apple ID. HealthKit data is per device; account can be shared across devices. ### Troubleshooting **Crashes:** Force quit, update Ankora, confirm iOS 26+, restart iPhone, contact @ankora_app on X with repro details. **AI not working:** Accept Privacy Agreement, check internet, ensure HealthKit data exists for the metrics, try sign out/in. **Notifications:** iPhone Settings > Ankora > Notifications > Allow Notifications; complete in-app notification onboarding. **Weather activity suggestions wrong:** Grant location, verify location in app Settings, update manually if needed. Location is optional and coarse (not continuous GPS tracking for the product purpose).
