Vitaltrends: the Whoop companion app I didn’t know I needed (recovery trends, multi-device HR, training logs, AI/MCP)

Hello fellow Whoop users.

I wanted to take a minute to share an app I found here on this subreddit about a month ago that has seriously changed how I analyze my fitness and health data.

https://www.vitaltrends.net is a dashboard that pulls in your historical Whoop data along with Apple Health, Withings, Oura, and others, then presents it in a clean, insightful way. The Whoop app is limited when it comes to true longitudinal views and broader historical context — this fills that gap really well.

One of my favorite views is the recovery history. Being able to see recovery trends over long periods and quickly spot the dips and peaks has been huge for me.

The biggest reason I keep coming back, though, is the ability to combine datasets into a single visual. I’ve been paying a lot more attention to heart rate accuracy lately because it’s the foundation of almost every Whoop metric. I wear Whoop, an Apple Watch, and a chest strap (Polar) during workouts. All of that data lands in Apple Health, and Vitaltrends lets me overlay the different HR sources on the same workout page so I can actually see how they compare. Below is a Pickleball session lasting almost 4 hours where I tracked all three and was really confident that Whoop is tracking my heart rate accurately compared to the other two devices.

The data categories doesn't stop there as recently the developer has incorporated a Training log section where you can see historical weight lifting activities including muscle groups worked and detailed pages on a session which can incorporate heart rate data into for a complete picture of your workout.

On top of that, the developer has added MCP support so you can connect Claude, Cursor, Grok, and others directly to the data. I keep a lot of other health info (bloodwork, nutrition, etc.) in Google Drive and can ask very specific questions that pull from both sources. It’s been useful for looking at training load, meal timing, and potential supplement adjustments.

u/danskubr is the developer and has been extremely responsive — fixing bugs quickly and adding features based on feedback. One recent addition I requested was blood pressure tracking from Apple Health (I use an Omron cuff a couple times a day). It now shows up cleanly in the dashboard alongside everything else.

As someone who prefers to review and analyze my data on a computer as opposed to being stuck on a small screen like an iPhone or Android phone I truly appreciate the capabilities and constant communication of Daniel and the Vitaltrends app.

Whoop Bicep vs Chest Strap accuracy testing

Over the last few weeks I have performed some comparisons as I moved the Whoop strap from my wrist to my Bicep as I was noticing some major variations between that and my Apple Watch when performing exercises that have a lot of movement in them such as "Alpha Cardio" class as LifeTime fitness or Pickleball. I recorded some exercises wearing a chest strap connected to Polar Flow and Whoop connected to my right Bicep.

This was made possible by a data aggregation and dashboarding tool called https://www.vitaltrends.net which is an amazing tool that allows you to look at historical trends and compare and combine multiple datasets and is maintained by a very dedicated developer in u/danskubr . This thread really is focused on heart rate comparison but this Dashboarding tool does so much more.

Below is a link hour session at my LifeTime Gym called Alpha Cardio where I pretty much went all out in a combination of Cardio and Strength moves that put me to the limit. The average heart rates were within 2 beats and the max heart rates were fairly accurate with Whoop having one point that was a bit higher and unrealistic for my age of 39 I believe my max heart rate to be around 183/184.

I know people comment on the accuracy of the heart rate for the Whoop band and it does vary person to person but I must say they have done an excellent job for me and something that I can now really trust is accurate for my activities.

I would love to hear others opinions and or comparisons that have been performed as heartrate is really the cornerstone measurement for Whoop.

MFWO Export columns question

Looking to see if the community can help me or whether its a limitation that needs a feature enhancement. When I go to export MFWO data using the Granular Export and then going to the bottom to export the entire log the data that is provided doesn't give time only a date for each exercise. I was looking for a time that the workout started for all the entries for that workout as I am trying to match time of day compared to my MF Nutrition data. If its just not there for me to get yet and needs an enhancement that's understandable.

Vitaltrends progress

Wondering what has been going on with Vitaltrends development progress lately any new integrations. I currently use Macro Factor for Nutrition and Workout tracking and would be interesting to see how it integrates with my other data as well as 8 Sleep.

Exercises with Plates looking to set by exercise not by gym

I might be doing this wrong but with my routines I have a Push a Pull and a Leg focus workout. Whenever I am going to an exercise that is plate loaded instead of pin loaded I have a set amount of weights from my gym setup that are activated.

What I want is to be able to limit the plates that are available per exercise and not per gym as I don't want to be searching for 5 and 10 lb plates doing the leg press or hack squat as an example but Bench Press or Shoulder press I would like to have increments. Whenever I change the plates available on the current exercise I am working on the next one follows with the change I made and they are unavailable unless I go back in and turn them on.

Maybe I am doing something wrong and someone can point me on how to make it work the way I like but if not I would love for this to be an enhancement to the app in the near future.

This product does seem very interesting to me and I love how you are pulling in multiple data sources. I think I would definitely pay to use if you could look into 8sleep as an additional data source and then allow me to compare sleep scores and data between multiple sources. I would like to be able to compare 8sleep vs whoop vs Apple Watch night by night on the sleep time and sleep zones breakdown. If this is possible and easy to implement I will definitely be a customer for life.
