We move fast,
and in the open.

Every fix, every feature, written down in plain English. NOOP is built straight from the open board: you report something, we ship the fix, and it lands on Mac, iPhone and Android together. No roadmap held hostage, no surprise paywall, no quiet changes. Here is everything, newest first.

v7.7.0 latest All platforms together Built from your reports Free forever
Latest · 7.7.0 June 2026 All platforms

Smoother on Mac, an Oura live heart-rate fix, and a big pile of improvements.

Smoother, especially on Mac. The long freeze some people hit when opening the app or the Insights tab should be gone, and after a sync your Charge and Rest now catch up to your latest night instead of sometimes sticking on an older one.
Oura ring (beta): live heart rate again. Live heart rate from the ring had stopped coming through, and it streams again now. The file import also accepts more export shapes, and the ring is easier to find when you add a device.
See a workout while it is happening. Today shows a live "workout in progress" card you can tap straight through to the live view.
Your WHOOP 4.0 data shows sooner. While the strap is still building your history, the screens show what has banked so far instead of looking empty, and your steps can now show whether you were still, walking or running.
Pinch to zoom your heart rate. On iPhone you can pinch and drag the Today heart-rate chart to look closer at any part of the day.
A coach you can shape. The AI Coach now takes your own instructions, and it can factor in your stress balance when you have shared that signal. Still bring-your-own-key, still on your device.
And a long list of smaller fixes. Steadier Bluetooth, sleep edits that stick on imported nights, a more reliable smart alarm, cleaner day navigation, and more of the app in Italian.
The NOOP Today screen in 7.7.0: a dusk header with Charge, Effort and Rest rings, plus stress, fitness age, HRV and resting heart rate cards.
A Charge score breakdown showing exactly which signals moved your recovery and by how much, each with a plain-English note.
The More menu in NOOP showing the depth of the app: Coach, Workouts, Health, Lab Book, Stress, Breathe, Intervals and Compare.

A look at 7.7.0 on iPhone. The same release lands on Mac and Android in step.

The history

Recent releases

A few highlights from each. The full notes for every version live on the releases page.

Every release ships in the open on GitHub, free and on-device. There are no forced updates: you choose when, or whether, to install a new version.

  1. 7.6.1June 2026

    A quick fix

    • Opens on today again. After an update, the Today screen now lands on the current day, even while you are still calibrating. It was dropping some of you onto an older recorded day instead.
  2. 7.6.0June 2026

    Faster, smoother, more languages, and a big pile of fixes

    • Faster, with a lot of fixes. The lag after importing Apple Health data is gone, Today opens on today again after an update, the active-workout stats no longer get cut off, and the alarm page reads correctly.
    • Your imports go further. Workouts now come in from Apple Health, Health Connect days that arrived as an import now earn their own Charge and Rest, and Back up to a folder works on iPhone.
    • Now in Spanish and Italian. Two more full translations, with more to come.
    • Sleep, navigation and devices. A single night is no longer split into a separate nap, the More tab remembers which sections you left open, and your strap firmware version now shows on the Devices screen.
  3. 7.5.0June 2026Oura beta

    Local Oura ring support: use your Oura ring with no Oura app

    • Local Oura ring support (beta). NOOP can now read an Oura ring directly over Bluetooth, fully on-device, so you can use the ring with no Oura app, no account and no cloud. It reads heart rate, HRV, SpO2, skin temperature and sleep stages off the ring and runs NOOP's own Charge and Rest scoring, not Oura's. Works on Oura Ring 3, 4 and 5.
    • How setup works. Pairing factory-resets the ring and adopts it locally, which is recoverable: if NOOP cannot take it over, you just re-pair it in the Oura app. This is early beta, so there is also an Advanced bring-your-own-key path and a file-import fallback.
  4. 7.4.1June 2026

    Bug-fix sweep: steps, sleep export, and a battery-saving reconnect fix

    • Your steps keep counting. Steps could freeze and stop updating partway through the day. They now keep ticking over as they should.
    • Sleep export keeps every night. Exporting your sleep to CSV could quietly drop nights when a day had more than one session. Every session is kept now, each as its own row.
    • A flaky strap no longer drains your battery. When a WHOOP kept dropping the connection the app could loop forever; it now spots that, pauses the automatic reconnect, and shows the re-pair guide instead.
  5. 7.4.0June 2026

    A calmer Today, your Charge explained, and new HRV science under the hood

    • A simpler Today. The dashboard had got busy, so we calmed it down: one clean read at the top, the daily synthesis folds into a single line you can expand, and the metric cards line up evenly.
    • See exactly what shaped your Charge. Tap your Charge to see which signals moved it and by how much (HRV, resting heart rate, sleep, respiration, skin temperature), each with a plain-English note. A new "How Charge is calculated" link explains the method itself.
    • New on-device measures from your heart-rate rhythm. The Stress screen now also shows frequency-domain HRV (your LF/HF autonomic balance) and a Baevsky stress index, both computed locally from the day's beat-to-beat data.
    • Test Centre is one tap away. The diagnostics and bug-report hub moved out of Settings and into the More tab and the Mac sidebar, so reporting something takes seconds.
  6. 7.3.2June 2026

    Backup & Restore, the wrong-day fix, and a smarter Test Centre

    • New: Backup & Restore. You can now back up everything to a folder you choose, on demand or on a daily schedule, and restore it later. It is off by default, runs entirely on your device, and the restore keeps a safety snapshot first so a failed restore cannot wipe your data.
    • Your dashboard shows the right day again. A cluster of "Today is empty / stuck on an old day" reports turned out to be one issue: after re-adding a strap the app saved your live data under one name but looked for it under another. It now reads your live data and your imported history together.
    • Bug reporting got much better. The export now fills the report in for you, runs a completeness check, carries a strap-clock and data-source line, and verifies nothing private survived the privacy scrub.
  7. 7.3.1June 2026

    A big bug-fix sweep, with the Test Centre to back it up

    • Your scores stop pretending an old night is today's. A recent carry now reads "Last night" honestly, and anything older is clearly relabelled "Latest sleep" with its date, so a number is never passed off as today's.
    • The dashboard freeze on big histories, properly fixed. The data store now serves the dashboard's reads at the same time as the sync writes instead of queuing behind them, so it stays responsive.
    • A pile of smaller fixes. The Today rings no longer overlap on iPhone, the onboarding units picker works again, more sports presets (padel, pickleball, martial arts, skiing), and a full French translation.
  8. 7.3.0June 2026New

    The Test Centre: help us fix YOUR specific problem

    • New: a Test Centre. Every diagnostic and logging control now lives in one place, and you can opt into a test mode for the exact thing that is not working: Sleep, Battery, your scores, Connection and sync, Workouts, Steps, Imports, or smoothness. Turn it on, use NOOP as normal, then export a clean report in one tap.
    • Your data stays yours. Every test mode runs on your device, the exported report is redacted and you review it before you share it, and nothing ever uploads on its own.
  9. 7.2.3June 2026

    A smoother dashboard on big histories, and a clearer Smart Alarm

    • The dashboard stays responsive while your strap syncs. NOOP now paints the day's data instantly and runs the heavy history reads without fighting the sync, so the Today screen no longer freezes when you open it.
    • "Smart Alarm" is no longer two different things sharing one name. The strap's silent wake alarm keeps the name Smart Alarm, the evening reminder is now "Wind-Down", and the phone-based smart wake is now "Wake Window".
  10. 7.2.0June 2026New

    New: use an Apple Watch with NOOP

    • NOOP now works with your Apple Watch, no WHOOP needed. Strap on the watch you already own and NOOP turns it into a recovery-and-strain tracker. Your Charge, Effort and Rest rings and live heart rate show right on your wrist, with a watch-face complication. Your phone stays the brain and works out recovery offline.
    • It is iPhone only and brand new. There is no Mac or Android twin yet, and it is early, so expect some rough edges and tell us what you find.
  11. 7.1.0June 2026

    Board Sweep: battery days-left, browse past weeks, breathing cues, and a pile of fixes

    • New: "~X days left" on your strap battery. NOOP watches how fast the band is discharging and tells you roughly how many days are left, right on the Today battery badge. All on-device.
    • New: browse previous weeks in Trends. Flick back through your Weekly Trends history week by week, instead of only seeing the current one.
    • New: breathing cues. An optional audio pacer for the breathing exercise, with a ring that breathes along with you. It stays quiet when your phone is on silent.
    • A stack of connection and sleep fixes. Straps that said "connected" but sent no data now connect properly, and sleep on the WHOOP 5 and MG no longer over-counts time awake.
  12. 7.0.2June 2026

    The smoothness release: faster everywhere, plus a sleep memory fix

    • Scrolling is much smoother on every screen. Charts and rings now cache their drawing instead of redrawing every frame, long screens only build what is actually on screen, and the home screen no longer redraws on every heartbeat. iPhone, iPad, Mac and Android all get it.
    • The analytics stopped thrashing your phone's memory. The sleep and scoring engines were re-crunching the same nights over and over; now each night is worked out once and reused.
    • Fixed: a Sleep V2 crash. With the experimental sleep staging on, the app could get choppy and then crash on Android while scrolling back through nights. Now each night is trimmed first and the maths runs in a single pass, and your sleep numbers come out exactly the same.
  13. 7.0.0June 2026Redesign

    Everything: a whole new look, hydration, automatic workout detection, and smarter sleep

    • A whole new look. NOOP has been redesigned from the ground up: flat, clean colour rings, a day-cycle scene that moves with your day, and a Today screen you can customise. The same fresh look lands on iPhone, Mac and Android together.
    • New: Hydration tracking. Opt in and log your water through the day with a simple tap, set a daily target, and see how you are doing at a glance. Off by default.
    • New: Automatic workout detection. Opt in and NOOP spots a likely workout from your heart rate and motion and offers it for a one-tap add. Nothing is logged without you confirming it.
    • Experimental: Sleep Staging V2. A new on-device sleep stager you can switch on to try a sharper deep/REM/light breakdown, clearly labelled experimental while we prove it against real nights.
  14. 6.2.0June 2026

    See Everything: the Deep Timeline, a sleep movement graph, and a big board-clear

    • See everything, second by second: the new Deep Timeline. Open a metric and pinch or scroll to zoom from a whole day right down to per-second detail: heart rate, HRV, SpO2, skin temperature, respiration and movement, all at full resolution, all on your device.
    • A movement graph for your sleep. The Sleep screen now draws a restlessness trace under your hypnogram, so you can see how much you stirred through the night.
    • WHOOP 5.0 is honest about sync now. A connected 5.0 streaming live heart rate but no history says so plainly, and stops the battery-draining reconnect loop while it waits.
    • Spot HRV will not fake it. An on-demand HRV reading now refuses to give a number when too much of the capture was noise, instead of showing you a shaky one.
  15. 6.1.0June 2026

    A big one: smarter sleep, naps, more devices, and a load of fixes

    • Sleep got smarter and more honest. A night split by a wake-up is now counted in full instead of just one fragment, a bad-clock strap can no longer pass off a 12-hour block as one night, and your own hand-edits to a night now win over an imported value.
    • Naps, spotted on your device. Opt in and NOOP notices a likely nap from your motion and offers it for a one-tap add. Nothing is logged automatically, and it never touches your real sleep scores.
    • More at a glance. A new 2x2 Android home-screen widget shows Charge, Effort and Rest together, plus optional morning-recap and post-workout notifications, both off by default and no AI involved.
  16. 6.0.0June 2026Multi-device

    NOOP grows up: it is not just for WHOOP anymore

    • Your WHOOP is no longer the only thing that works. NOOP now reads standard Bluetooth chest straps and arm bands for live heart rate and HRV, connects to gym machines over the standard FTMS profile, and reads standard running and cycling sensors during a workout.
    • Bring your history with you, fully offline. Import your own data export from Oura, Fitbit or Garmin and NOOP pulls in sleep, resting heart rate, HRV and steps. It never talks to their cloud, and your NOOP scores are recomputed from the raw signals, never copied. GPX, TCX and FIT workout files import too.
    • Broadcast your heart rate out. Turn on Broadcast in Data Sources and NOOP re-shares your strap's heart rate as a standard Bluetooth HR sensor, so a treadmill, Zwift or Peloton can read it. Local Bluetooth only.
  17. 5.0.0June 2026Raw signal

    v5: the raw-signal release, NOOP reads the signal, on your device, free

    • The big idea. Everyone else shows you a score their cloud computed, behind a subscription. NOOP reads your strap's raw signals (beat-to-beat timing, red/IR PPG, motion, skin temperature) and does all the maths on your own device, free and offline.
    • Haptic biofeedback, the strap that breathes you down. Your wrist motor can pace your breathing with the screen off. Find your personal calm pace, then breathe to the buzz, or tap "Calm me · 3 min" mid-stress for a felt metronome just below your heart rate.
    • What Moves You. A ranked, lag-aware read of what actually moves your recovery, from your own journal and outcomes, not population averages.
    • Lab Book. Your own private logbook for bloods, blood pressure or scan values, lined up against a wearable signal. It is a notebook, not a medical service, and it all stays on your device.
  18. 4.3.0June 2026

    Light theme: NOOP in warm paper & gold

    • NOOP now has a full Light theme, and you can switch any time. Settings then Appearance lets you pick System, Light, or Dark. Every surface was re-done for it, not just inverted: the ring gauges, cards, charts, the scenic hero and the home-screen widget all adapt. Same data, same layout, your choice of finish.

This is a selection. Every version, with the full notes and the downloads, lives on the releases page.

Shipped in the open, on every platform.

NOOP is an independent, experimental project, not the WHOOP app and not affiliated with WHOOP or Oura. WHOOP 4.0 is the tested path, end to end. WHOOP 5.0 and MG give you live heart rate today with deeper metrics building, and Oura ring support is in beta. We always tell you what is live versus still building.
