Download on the App Store Free · No account · No ads · Your data never leaves your phoneAnswer a few questions about your age, history, and goals. Headwater matches your profile against published guidelines and hands you a plan — each item labeled with its evidence grade and when it's due.
Here's what the evidence shows, personalized to you.

Sleep, nutrition, movement, and stress are where the science is most confident — so Headwater starts there. Master the foundations and more advanced, evidence-tiered wellness content opens up as you go.
Streaks, gentle pacing, and no punishment for missed days. Back at it — not "streak lost."

The grading system is the product. Each screening and habit carries its USPSTF grade or evidence tier, a plain-language "why this matters," and the source references behind it — the way a physician friend would explain it over coffee, not across a desk.

A myth-busting feed takes trending wellness claims — cold plunges, supplement stacks, peptide protocols — and grades them against the published evidence, with citations you can check yourself.
Curious, not alarmist. Honest about uncertainty.

Streak cards, a calendar heatmap, and a 30-day timeline keep the four foundations visible at a glance. Optional Apple Health integration pre-fills your daily logs — read-only, and always your choice.

From peptides to nootropics, Headwater covers the topics people are actually curious about — and labels exactly where each one sits on the evidence ladder, from FDA-approved to not approved for human use.
This is where the science is most confident — and where it isn't yet.

Created by a board-certified family medicine physician. Content is anchored to USPSTF, CDC, and NIH guidance — and honest about the strength of the data.
Every guideline, deep dive, and myth-busting card ships free. One optional $4.99 one-time unlock adds clinician-ready PDF reports to bring to your next annual physical. No subscription.
No account. No server. No ads. No tracking. Everything stays on your device, including optional Apple Health data.
You already know sleep matters. Headwater is built for the harder part — doing the foundational things consistently, in the order that pays off most.
