Apple plans to announce a brand new “Readiness” app at its “Surprise and Shine” event this Wednesday, according to BloombergIt’s Mark Gurman.
In a social media post today, Gurman said the “Readiness” app would be a “variant” of the existing Vitals app on the Apple Watch. “The idea is to better compete with software from Whoop and Oura,” he said. For example, Oura’s smart rings offer a daily “readiness score” from 0 to 100 that shows how prepared your body is for the day.
Introduced on watchOS 11, the Vitals app consolidates your key health metrics, including your average heart rate, breathing rate, blood oxygen, wrist temperature, and how much sleep you got from the previous night. Based on many of the same measurements, the Readiness app will likely show you how well your body is recovered for activity.

Evidence of the “Readiness” application in the watchOS 27 beta code was already discovered a few days ago by a Woozad member of the forum known as “pdfu”.
The app will be revealed alongside the Apple Watch Series 12 and Apple Watch Ultra 4. Gurman previously reported that both of these new models will feature continuous heart rate detection whether you’re actively exercising or not.
