How to Use the Oura App – Oura Help

The Oura App is a personal health companion that helps improve wellness. It interprets your body's unique signals, measures individualized progress, and guides you to make sustainable shifts that unlock performance today and health span tomorrow.

Oura App Experience

The Oura App gives you a streamlined, at-a-glance view into both your short-term and long-term health. It's organized into three sections: Today, Vitals, and My Health. Gen 2 users will see a limited view of the app due to differences in Oura Membership features.

Today

The Today tab surfaces the most important information about your health and will update throughout that day. Each day will look different and contain a different set of features depending on what is most timely and relevant to you. To see historical data, you can use either the Vitals tab or Trends, which can be found in the menu in the upper-left corner of the home screen.

At the top of the Today tab are Shortcuts that provide quick access to your main metrics:

You can select and reorder your Shortcuts by swiping left on the Shortcuts icons, then tapping Customize. You need to select a minimum of three Shortcuts.

If you don't see Customize, make sure you have the latest version of the Oura App installed.

Also within the Today tab are:

Important updates and insights: timely information about your daily health throughout the day
Action items: items requiring or resulting from your actions, such as detected naps, firmware updates, software updates, activities from Automatic Activity Detection, and more.
Recent events: a timeline providing a comprehensive view of your daily activities and decisions
What's new: new features, partnerships, content additions, and more

Vitals

The Vitals Tab provides an at-a-glance view of your different health metrics and will go deeper into your scores.

In the Vitals tab, you'll see:

Cards for each major metric: you can view your readiness, sleep, activity goal, cycles, daytime heart rate, and Daytime Stress. You can expand the cards to see more information, such as contributors, and tap on the arrow to see the detail views and insight messages
Typical ranges: in addition to your Readiness Score, Sleep Score, and activity goal completion, you'll see your typical range for each, which is the range of your scores 80% of the time over the last 90 days. You'll start getting typical ranges within a couple of weeks of using the app. If you haven't been wearing the ring consistently, you'll get a typical range based on whatever data is available for the last 90 days
Historical data: by swiping left and right or tapping on the calendar view at the top of the screen, you can navigate backward and forward in time to see your stats for previous days

My Health

The My Health Tab gives you a more streamlined view of your long-term metrics, like Cardiovascular Age, Stress Resilience, and Trends that help you take control of the future of your health.

In the My Health tab, you’ll see:

Long-term metrics: a high-level overview for Resilience, heart health (Cardiovascular Age and Cardio Capacity) and sleep health (sleep regularity and chronotype). You can tap into each card for detail views
Your reports: weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly reports are one of the easiest ways to see patterns in your data over time
Your Health profile: You can edit your goals and key profile information in the upper-right corner
