Reasons Within reads Apple Health on your iPhone to surface patterns in your own body. Here are the questions that come up most.
The app is empty or says it can't read Health.
Reasons Within needs permission to read Apple Health. Open the iOS Settings app → Privacy & Security → Health → Reasons Within and turn on the categories you're comfortable sharing. Wearing an Apple Watch to sleep fills in recovery and sleep data fastest.
Why don't I see any patterns yet?
Patterns are measured against your own history, so they need data to build from — usually a couple of weeks, and about a month before a pattern can be confirmed or a recovery forecast appears. Early silence is the app being honest, not broken.
I'm not getting notifications.
Make sure notifications are allowed in Settings → Reasons Within → Notifications. New-pattern alerts arrive at most once a day, no earlier than the time you choose under Customize → Notifications.
How do I add a widget?
Touch and hold your Home Screen, tap the + in the corner, search "Reasons Within," and pick Today, Bio Age, Activity, or Calories. Open the app once first so the widget has data to show.
Where is my data stored?
On your iPhone. Your health data is analyzed on the device and never leaves it — see our Privacy Policy.
