The hardest weeks
of the year deserve
a better app.
DARS tells you when to rest. Recovery Mode shows you how to be present while you heal. A daily companion for endurance athletes in injury recovery — built around the day in front of you, not a diagnosis label.
Launching as v1.1, staggered first to paying users and team accounts. Express interest below.
Same Today screen.
Different week.
When you're in active recovery, your home screen becomes Recovery Mode. The architecture stays identical to healthy training — block banner, daily focus, recovery-aware DARS — but every slot is recovery-aware. You're not in a different app. You're in the same app having a different week.
That continuity is the design philosophy. Recovery is a training block, not a pause. The app reflects that.
Two-question check-in
How's the body? How's the head? Four taps. Five seconds. No mood scales, no journaling prompts, no clinical screening.
Daily Focus card library
Per-pathway content authored with sports medicine and PT advisors. Today's instruction, sized for today's state. Never a diagnosis of you.
Hard Day mode
A quiet reset, one tap from any screen. Real evidence pulled from your own logged data. One small thing for today. Crisis support always visible — never hidden, never alarming.
Three roles, one truth
You see the day. Your PT manages the recovery. Your coach sees only what you choose to share. The privacy boundary is the trust foundation.
Endurance athletes in active injury recovery.
Two pathways are authored for v1.1: posteromedial tibial bone stress injury and mid-portion Achilles tendinopathy. Additional pathways follow per customer demand and clinical authoring capacity — femoral neck, navicular, anterior tibial cortex, post-op ACL, and more.
The masters athlete (40+, particularly female post-menopausal) is a deliberate audience focus. Variants of both libraries reflect peri- and post-menopausal physiology — extended phase durations, bone-load nutrition guidance, vasomotor symptom acknowledgment, HRT/MHT context at intake.
Describe the day,
not the athlete.
Cards prescribe sessions and describe the experience. Cards never assert internal state ("you seem to be struggling"). That distinction is the difference between supportive presence and clinical assessment, and it's why Recovery Mode deliberately doesn't build:
- —Validated mental health screenings (PHQ-9, GAD-7) — these belong with clinicians.
- —Mood tracking with multi-question scales.
- —Journaling prompts about feelings.
- —AI conversational therapy.
- —Recovery gamification — streak badges with confetti, "5 days strong!" celebrations.
- —"Are you okay?" push notifications.
- —Auto-detection of depression or anxiety from data patterns.
Crisis support is always one tap away — 988, Crisis Text Line, or a sport psychologist your institution has connected you with. Never hidden, never alarming.
Clinical advisors. Counsel review. Then athletes.
Recovery Mode's pathway content is grounded in published consensus — Fredericson MRI grading for tibial stress injuries, AMSSM 2024 BSI guidance, IOC 2023 RED-S consensus, and the published rehabilitation literature for Achilles tendinopathy. Independent sports medicine, sports physical therapy, sport psychology, and women's health specialists are reviewing the libraries before any content reaches athletes. Health-tech regulatory counsel is reviewing the privacy architecture, the consent flow, and the boundary between supportive presence and clinical assessment.
This work is in active review. Recovery Mode is not yet generally available; the v1.1 staggered launch begins after counsel and clinical advisor review clears the gates documented in the EnduraX design substrate.
