N-of-1 · on-device · Apple Health

Run the experiment on yourself.

Trialist turns Apple Health into a lab. Did it, or didn't you? Log the day and find out whether your sleep, HRV or recovery actually changed—measured against your own baseline, with the stats to back it.

Trialist experiment result: total sleep during experiment vs baseline, broken down by sleep stage
The loop

Three steps, then the data decides.

No spreadsheets, no willpower to remember. Pick something to test, tap a button each day, read the verdict.

01 / Hypothesize

Pick what to test

Start from a template or your own idea—magnesium, a caffeine curfew, cold showers. Trialist tracks the right metrics for it.

02 / Log

Did it, or didn't you

One tap a day. Add a dose or a time when it matters. That's the entire habit.

See what moved

Once there's enough data, Trialist compares your intervention days to your baseline and tells you what actually changed.

Deep sleep+19.9%
REM sleep+19.4%
Awake time−39.7%
Total sleep+5.8%
Under the hood

The analysis does the hard part.

You log. Trialist runs the statistics—so a result is a real signal, not a lucky week.

Trialist health details with per-metric trend and status
Baseline

Measured against you

Your intervention days compared to your baseline—not a generic average—with the percentage change for every metric.

Confidence

Signal, not noise

No verdict appears until there's enough data, and each change is flagged as meaningful or just noise.

Dose

Find your threshold

Spots the breakpoint—above ~200mg, deep sleep drops—from the amounts you log.

Timing

Find your cutoff

Detects a time-of-day limit relative to your bedtime—within ~3h of bed, it hurts.

A/B & Compare

Rule out the rest

Pit two options head-to-head, or line up two periods to check nothing else changed.

Lag

Catch the delay

Finds effects that trail by a day or two, and reports correlations with an honest association, not proof.

Field notes

Real experiments. Real answers.

Three people, three questions, and the data that settled each one.

Curiosity is a hypothesis.
Go get the evidence.

Free to start. Your first verdict is a couple of weeks of taps away.

Questions

The short answers.

Q. Do I need an account?

No. There are no accounts and no cloud—nothing to sign up for.

Q. Where does my data live?

On your device, privately. Export it as JSON or a PDF report whenever you want.

Q. Which metrics can it read?

Sleep stages, HRV, resting heart rate, steps, VO₂ max, workouts, and more from Apple Health.

Q. How long until I get a result?

Trialist waits for enough logged days before calling a verdict—usually a couple of weeks, depending on the test.
