You have finished setup and the app is showing you Today. Much of it is blank. This is expected. Here is the honest timeline.

Straight away — minutes

Whatever your phone and connected sources already hold:
  • Steps and active calories, if your phone or watch has been tracking them
  • Heart rate, if your watch has been syncing
  • Recent sleep, if your device has synced nights already
  • Your weight and body details, from setup
If you have been wearing an Apple Watch or Oura for months, quite a lot arrives at once — the app reads your history, not just today.

After one night — tomorrow morning

  • Last night’s sleep, with stages and a score
  • Resting heart rate and HRV for the night
  • A first Capacity figure, if your device provided enough

After a few nights — days 3 to 7

  • Capacity settles as it learns your normal
  • Trends become meaningful rather than a single point
  • Personal baselines start to form

After two weeks

  • SHI appears, once there are 14 usable nights in a 28-night window
  • Respiratory rate and heart-rate dip baselines fill in
  • Sleep regularity becomes meaningful

One thing to set up now — your activities

Everything above arrives on its own. This does not. Menu → Activities Management is where you tell the app which activities you do — running, resistance training, whatever it is. A new account starts empty, and while it is empty the app cannot log a session for you, because a detected session has nothing to be linked to. Two steps, and both are needed:
  1. Add your activities to the catalogue.
  2. Log or sync a session. Detection works from your first recorded day, so until there is one there is nothing for it to work from.
Today will keep saying “Set up the activities you want to track, then log one — detection starts from there” until both are done. Tapping that message takes you to the catalogue. More detail: Activities.

What will stay blank until you act

Details: What each number needs from you.

What will stay blank regardless

Vitality Score and Symptoms, for reasons that have nothing to do with your setup.
If something is blank after a week and this page suggests it should not be, that is worth telling us about. Before you do, the When something looks wrong page covers the common explanations.
