Bevel 2026 Winter Release

Happy New Year! We have some new updates to Bevel, like Strength Builder and the new Watch App. Hopefully, this update helps you stay motivated for yo...

Strength Builder

We've made some major updates to Strength Builder to make workouts easier to build and manage during training, especially during live sessions.

What's New

• Redesigned Templates & Live Sync: A refreshed layout that clearly distinguishes between completed and unfinished sets and enables full customization.
• Rest Timers: Timers are now built directly into Templates and Live Sync. You can choose between setting rest times per exercise or per set.
• Exercise Progression History: View your last weights and reps for a given exercise within Templates and Live Sync.
• New Live Sync Keyboard: Automatically calculate your barbell plates with Plate Calculator, easily add or subtract weight, and copy weight and reps to upcoming sets.
• Live Activities: Follow your workout from the locked iPhone screen and Dynamic Island, showing live heart rate, duration and current sets and reps.
• Advanced Strength Settings: Set a default rest time, disable set-by-set confirmation of weights and reps, and auto-fill new sets using your last set's values.
• Weight Defaults: Your added exercises will now preload with the weight used in your last performed set instead of defaulting to 20lbs.
• Duration-based Countdown: Timed exercises now continue counting until you manually stop the set; perfect for holds where you want to push yourself even further.

Watch App

The Bevel Watch app has a brand-new look, designed to feel more consistent with your phone and more useful at a glance.

What's New

• Redesigned Watch Dashboard: A scrollable layout that mirrors your phone's Home Dashboard.
• Expanded Metrics on Watch: We've added Cardio Load, Nutrition Score, Calories, Macros & Net Energy, Glucose, Food Logs and Food Contributors.
• Faster Access: Quick shortcuts to Sleep Alarm and Workout Templates.
• New Complications: We've added circular, card, and corner complications for Nutrition Score, Net Energy, Calories, and Macros, and updated others. You can edit your Watch face by pressing down on the face > Edit > Add the new Bevel complications.

Oura & Strava Integrations

Bevel now integrates directly with Oura, allowing you to use Bevel as your primary app alongside your Oura Ring. That's right, no more shortcuts!

You can also sync all of your Bevel Strength Builder workouts, historical activites and third-party workouts to Strava.

How to Integrate with Oura

1. Go to Settings > Data Sources > Add Integration.

2. Tap Oura Ring and sign in.

3. Choose whether you want to sync all historical data with Bevel. Wait a few minutes to load your data.

4. If you already have Oura syncing to Apple Health, Bevel will prompt you to hide Oura (Apple Health) as a Data Source for Sleep, Workouts, etc. so you don't see duplicate data.

5. Under "Manage", you will see an option to set a Temperature Baseline. Oura's API only provides temperature deviations, so this is required to show Temperature in-app. The default temperature is based on your age and sex, however you can change it if you know your typical baseline.

Note: Due to minor API delays, we recommend syncing your Oura app with your ring every morning and periodically throughout the day.

How to Integrate with Strava

1. Go to Settings > Data Sources > Add Integration.

2. Tap Strava and sign in.

3. Turn on Auto-sync for Bevel workouts and/or Other workouts if you would like Bevel to automatically sync workouts as soon as you complete them. Alternatively, you can manually sync each activity by clicking the Activity > ... > Sync to Strava.

Note: Strava enforces an initial signup limit for new integrations. If we temporarily hit that limit, you may need to wait while we expand access. We’re actively working with Strava to increase capacity.

Other Fixes & Improvements

In addition, we've made many other quality improvements and fixed several bugs.

New & Improved

• Added a Cardio Load "Calibrating" status while your data is still calibrating. You will see this status if you do not yet have 6 weeks of activity and resting heart rate data, or you have not logged workouts in a while.
• Added a way to delete individual third-party activities from Bevel. Deleting activities will remove them from your Strain and Cardio Load metrics.
• Added a percent progress indicator to the sync banner.
• Added a temperature baseline for Garmin as well. You will need to Resync data to see temperature data in app.
• Updated the Energy Bank calendar to show the maximum and latest energy values for each day.
• Improved the accuracy of Generate Workout Templates and Import Exercise AI features. Importing exercises will now parse rest times and prompt you to create custom exercises if not found.
• Improved the accuracy of Describe Food AI to reliably match foods and return reasonable serving sizes.
• Improved the Garmin Connect integration data loading speed.
• Updated Liquid Glass design in remaining areas throughout the app.
• Changed Garmin trail runs to map to runs, not hikes.
• Improved data loading speed across the Phone and Watch apps.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue with Supersets not saving in Activity Summaries correctly.
• Fixed an issue with wide images in food logs causing the sheet to stretch.
• Fixed an issue with Journal default entries not saving.
• Fixed an issue with the Journal morning popup not appearing in some cases.
• Fixed an issue with Garmin notifications being sent when the Data Source was hidden.
• Fixed an issue with the Cycle Tracking period phase not extending in some cases.

Cycle Tracking

We’re excited to introduce Cycle Tracking: a feature built to bring more context, care, and personalization to Women’s Health in Bevel. Health isn’t one‑size‑fits‑all; hormonal changes affect how you sleep, recover, train, and feel, and we wanted Bevel to reflect that. By adding cycle awareness to your existing Bevel metrics, your recommendations now adapt to where you are in your cycle, helping you make better decisions every day.

Cycle Tracking can be enabled in Settings > Customization > Cycle. You can press Edit Home to customize where it appears on your Home Dashboard.

What You'll See

• Flow & Symptom Logging: Log flow and over 20 symptoms from the Cycle Tracking page, calendar, or the Action Button.
• Phase Predictions: Bevel predicts four cycle phases (Period, Follicular, Ovulatory, Luteal) using historical patterns and temperature trends, and pausing predictions if irregularities occur.
• Cycle Summary: See key metrics like cycle length, period length, and variability with indicators for irregularity.
• Trends: See how Temperature, Resting Heart Rate, Heart Rate Variability and Recovery Score deviate across phases, including the Temperature rise used to predict the Ovulatory phase.
• Typical Recovery: Your Recovery Score now has a Typical Recovery range, to show where your Recovery lies during each cycle phase.
• Contraception: Log up to eight types of contraceptive methods. You can log flow and symptoms, however hormonal contraceptives will pause phase predictions.
• Bevel Intelligence: Opt-in to find daily insights and recommendations based on your logs and Trends. You can ask questions about your cycle, hormone fluctuation, nutrition, workouts and more.

Privacy

All reproductive health data, including flow, contraception, and symptoms, is stored securely in Apple Health. Bevel does not store reproductive data on our servers and never sells your information. You can view or delete your data anytime through Bevel Settings or Apple Health. If you enable Reproductive Health in Bevel Intelligence Settings, only the necessary data is accessed to support your insights. You can review our full privacy policy here: https://docs.bevel.health/privacy-policy.

Bevel Cycle Tracking is a wellness feature, not a medical device. It should not be used for conception, contraception, or diagnosing conditions. All cycle phases, including ovulation, are estimates. Always consult a medical professional for health concerns.

Nutrition Score

We've redesigned the Nutrition Score to give you a clearer, more accurate view of how your daily food choices support your health. The new approach is grounded in leading evidence-based nutrition research from AHEI, USDG, EU, and WHO guidelines, reflecting the patterns shown to reduce chronic disease risk.

Instead of scoring each food individually, you'll now see Food Quality Contributors like vegetables, whole grains, or red meat. These contributors add or subtract from your daily score so you can see at t aglance how your choices are shaping your overall diet.

Why We Made the Change

You shared that the previous score sometimes felt unclear or didn't reflect the true quality of your meals. It leaned heavily on macros, sodium and sugar, which meant certain foods were over- or under-valued.

The new Nutrition Score better captures what actually matters: the quality of ingredients, the balance of your day, and the eating patterns linked to long-term health. To reinforce that balance, the score now includes diminishing returns so no single food group can carry your entire day.

How It Works

Each day starts with a locked score. After your first meal, a score from 1-100 appears and updates as you eat. Foods can move the score up, down, or stay neutral, depending on how they fit within the evidence‑based guidelines. For example, about 2.5 cups of vegetables can earn up to +10 points while more than one serving of processed meat can subtract up to −10 points.

If you track glucose, Glucose Impact continues to contribute to your Nutrition Score.

Positive Contributors

These Contributors will add to your Nutrition Score:

• Vegetables (+10): Whole, minimally processed vegetables are strongly linked to lower risk of heart disease, diabetes, and cancer.
• Fruits (+10): Whole fruits provide fiber and antioxidants that protect against chronic disease and support metabolic health.
• Whole grains (+10): High-fiber whole grains improve gut health and lower risk of heart disease and diabetes.
• Healthy oils (+10): Unsaturated fats from healthy oils reduce inflammation, support hormones, and protect cardiovascular health.
• Nuts & Legumes (+10): Rich in plant proteins and healthy fats, nuts and legumes improve heart health and longevity.
• Omega-3s (+10): Omega-3 fats support heart, brain, and metabolic health and lower inflammation.

Negative Contributors

These Contributors will subtract from your Nutrition Score:

• Red meat (-5): High intake increases risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers.
• Processed meat (-10): Processed meats raise risk of heart disease, diabetes, and cancer due to sodium and preservatives.
• Alcohol (-10): Even moderate alcohol use increases risk of cancer, hypertension, and liver disease.
• Excess sugar (-10): Added sugars increase risk of obesity, insulin resistance, and cardiovascular disease.
• Excess sodium (-5): Too much sodium raises blood pressure and risk of stroke and heart disease.

Garmin Integration

By popular demand, Bevel now integrates directly with Garmin Connect™. You can now use your Garmin device exclusively with Bevel, or switch seamlessly between your Apple Watch and Garmin devices.

How to Integrate

1. Go to Settings › Data Sources › Add Integration.
2. Tap Garmin Connect™ and sign in.
3. Sync up to 1 month of historical data with Bevel.
4. If you use multiple devices, choose which to show/hide in Data Sources for Sleep, Workouts, etc. If you have existing Connect data via Apple Health, make sure to disable "Connect" data sources to prevent duplicate data.
5. If you previously had Garmin Connect™ write to Apple Health, you should disable this to prevent overlap moving forward.

Data Loading and History

Additionally, due to limitations of the API, the following metrics will not be available within Bevel: Temperature, Daytime HRV, Time to Fall Asleep, RPE in workouts, and Resting Calories. Resting Heart Rate will be calculated based on the samples, so it may not match exactly what you see in Garmin Connect™.

Other Fixes & Improvements

In addition to Cycle Tracking, the new Nutrition Score and Garmin Integration, we've made many other quality improvements and fixed existing bugs.

New & Improved

• Added Liquid Glass design effects across the app including the navigation bar, menus, calendars, pages and more.
• Enabled double tap and action button integration to start and stop sets in Strength Builder.
• Added Nutrition shortcuts for Search, Camera, Describe, Import, Barcode Scan and My Foods.
• Added a Camera Control to log food directly from your camera (iPhone 16 & later).
• Improved Bevel Intelligence memory generation, data fluency, added onboarding & minimized hallucinations.
• Improved the speed of Nutrition Search.
• Updated the 1RM calculation to be the max 1RM for each exercise in the last 14 days.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug where some heart rate data was being dropped from workouts for certain Data Source configurations.
• Fixed a bug with the back button freezing in Strength Builder workouts.
• Fixed several language translation issues.
