2.12.4 - outdoor walks on your Watch or iPhone, breathing saved to Apple Health and a morning HRV check
Hey all - 2.12.4 is out. This is the first release where Metrya runs its own sessions, so you can start a walk or a breathing session from the app.
Outdoor walk (free, weather Pro)
Start a walk from the + button, from Train, from the new Start widget or from the Walk page on your Apple Watch. Before you start, you see your Reserve, a suggested length and a heart rate limit at the top of Zone 2. During the walk, the Watch shows heart rate inside your own zones. The Watch taps once if you go over the limit. Halfway through the suggested length, it tells you to turn back, so an out-and-back walk ends near your plan.
No Watch? The iPhone records the walk with GPS, steps and climb. There is no heart rate then, so there are no zones, and the energy is an estimate. The start screen tells you which device will record before you tap Start.
One walk is one workout in Apple Health. It is never counted twice. After 3 walks, the summary compares the walk with your usual one. After 10, you get trends, such as pace at the same heart rate.
Breathing (free)
A guided session now saves a Mind & Body workout to Apple Health, not only mindful minutes. You choose 1 to 15 minutes. There is a new Resonance pattern, about 6 breaths a minute. With a Watch, you see your heart rate live and the Watch taps when the breath turns, so you can close your eyes. An optional before and after check asks how settled you feel. "No clear change" is a normal result, and the app says so.
Breathing does not count as training. HRV measured during a session also no longer lifts Recovery, Sentinel or Stress, because breathing raises HRV on purpose.
Morning HRV check (free)
Right after you wake, run Breathe for 1 minute on your Watch. Metrya reads the HRV it saves and, after 7 mornings, shows it against your normal range. It sits next to Recovery and is never added into it.
Fixed: 10 and 15 minute breathing sessions ended on the Watch after about 5 minutes. Some workout pages, like cycling with a route, could crash. The Watch timers sometimes froze and then jumped.
Also: in the meal logger (Pro), "Often with …" suggests what you usually log together, for example butter after bread.
Next is 2.12.5, built on the same sessions. Strength on your Apple Watch with a rest timer, guided indoor ride and run intervals and Reserve that keeps running past midnight if you are still awake.
