Current 2.0: Your Recovery Score, Now on Your Wrist

Current turns your Apple Health data into a single daily recovery score, 0 to 100, so you know whether today is a day to push hard or take it easy. Version 2.0 is the biggest update since launch, and it’s free for everyone who already bought the app.

Here’s what’s new.

Your score, on your wrist

The headline is the new Apple Watch app. Raise your wrist and the number is there. Swipe for your top insight of the day, or add a complication so your score sits on your watch face all day long.

What makes it more than a mirror of the phone: Current computes your score right on the Watch, from your Watch’s own Health data, running the same algorithm as the iPhone app. It refreshes overnight, so the number is waiting for you in the morning before you’ve opened anything. Turn on the optional morning buzz to feel it land. It works on Apple Watch Series 4 and later, and it doesn’t need your phone nearby to give you a score.

Just ask Siri

“What’s my recovery score?” Siri answers instantly, even with the app closed. Drop it into your Shortcuts and morning routines so the number comes to you.

Tag your days, find your patterns

Some days you already know why you slept badly. Now Current can prove it. Mark what affected a day, whether that’s alcohol, travel, stress, a late meal, or a late workout, and Week in Review shows you how each one actually moves your recovery. Something like “After alcohol: HRV -18% vs your norm.” It’s your own data telling you what costs you, and it’s all computed on your device. Nothing leaves your phone.

An earlier read on illness

An elevated overnight wrist temperature, on Apple Watch Series 8 and later, now flags a possible early sign of illness, alongside the HRV and resting heart rate signals Current already watches. It’s context, not a diagnosis, and it isn’t part of your score. Just a heads-up on the mornings it matters.

The longer view

History now goes back 90 days, with the key insight behind each day right there in the list, so you can see the arc of your recovery instead of just today. Your daily reminder shows the score itself now, “Recovery: 82, Well Recovered,” so you get the number at a glance without opening the app. And there’s a new large home-screen widget with your tier, your guidance line, and all four sub-scores in one place. Under the hood, iCloud sync is more reliable across your devices, and the Smart Stack is better at surfacing your score in the morning.

Still yours, still one purchase

Current has always been a one-time purchase with no subscription, and that hasn’t changed. Your health data never leaves your iPhone, everything is computed on-device, and there’s no account, no server, and no tracking.

With 2.0, the price goes up to $5.99 for new buyers. If you already own Current, all of this, the Watch app included, is a free update. You bought it at $2.99 and the Watch app is yours at no extra cost.

If you’ve been meaning to try it, take a closer look at Current. Now is a good time. And if you already use it every morning, thank you. Open the App Store and the update is waiting.
