UberMensch Coach
Coaching from your Health data.
UberMensch is a training and wellbeing coach that works from your own numbers. It reads Apple Health on iPhone or Health Connect on Android (sleep, heart rate variability, resting heart rate, workouts, steps, weight, blood glucose and more) and turns them into a plan for the week and answers to your questions.
The remarkable part: the coach runs on your phone. Your history, goals and conversations are stored on the phone, and by default the answers come from a model on the phone too. There is no account, and no server of ours that your data could go to.
What UberMensch does:
- Today at a glance: how you slept, how recovered you are, and what is planned — a session, a rest day, or something easier when your body says so.
- A plan that adapts: tell the coach about a trip, a sore knee or a day you can't train, and it moves the plan. Strength sessions are logged set by set; meals come with recipes.
- Ask anything: “Why is my HRV down?” “Should I run today?” The coach answers from your data, in English, German, French, Spanish or Italian.
- Memory you can see: everything the coach remembers about you is listed in the app, and you can delete any of it.
- On your wrist: with an iPhone, the Apple Watch app shows today's plan and recovery; mark a session done and it syncs back to the phone.

Apple Watch companion
Today's plan, the coach's note and how to do each session, on your wrist. Mark a session done and it syncs back to the phone. It pairs with the iPhone app.
You choose who answers
- This iPhone — Apple's on-device model, on iPhones with Apple Intelligence. Nothing leaves the phone.
- Apple's cloud — iPhone only: the same model family on Apple's Private Cloud Compute, with Apple's privacy guarantees.
- Open model — a one-time 1.3 GB download that runs entirely on the phone. It is the coach on Android, and on iPhones without Apple Intelligence.
- Your own server — optional: a bigger model of your choice (Claude, ChatGPT or a local one) on a machine you run. The app asks before anything is sent. How to set it up.
Why “UberMensch”?
The name comes from Friedrich Nietzsche's Übermensch, from Thus Spoke Zarathustra (1883): “Man is something that shall be overcome.” It is about self-overcoming — setting your own standards and growing past who you were, rather than measuring up to someone else.
That is how the coach works, too. It doesn't compare you with population averages or with other people. Your readiness each morning is judged against your own usual numbers, and progress against your own log. The only person you are trying to beat is last month's you.
The icon is Nietzsche himself, moustache and all, in an 80s sweatband. The name is spelled without the umlaut so it works everywhere.
Not a medical device
UberMensch is a coach, not a doctor. It does not diagnose or treat anything, and when you describe urgent symptoms it stops coaching and tells you to seek medical help. Talk to a professional about any health concern.
