New Knowledge Base and Blog Articles

Hey everyone,

Over the last few months we've added a lot of new features and improvements to Bevel. As the app has grown alongside this community, we know it can sometimes feel like a lot to navigate, so we felt it was time to build something that genuinely helps both new and long-time users get the most out of it.

So we built a comprehensive Knowledge Base: https://help.bevel.health.

This is now the best place to start whenever:

  • you want to learn how a feature works
  • you run into an issue
  • you want to troubleshoot something quickly
  • you’re exploring functions you haven’t used before

Whether you're wondering "how do I connect a new wearable?", "why am I seeing duplicate data?", or "how do I create a custom food?", the Knowledge Base has you covered.

It now covers:

  • every major function in the app
  • common questions we’ve collected from the community
  • troubleshooting steps across different topics
  • practical explanations for both beginners and advanced users

Bevel Intelligence has full context on how the app works, so it can help you troubleshoot and answer questions right inside the app, too.

We also started expanding our in-app blogs with deeper educational content, scientific backing, and feature explainers: https://www.bevel.health/blog

Thank you to everyone in this community, and as always, keep the feedback coming.

Setup Guide to Amazfit helio strap to Bevel app

I’m currently using an Apple Watch but I’m considering switching to the Amazfit and Bevel combination. Could you help me set it up? I’ll still use the Apple Watch for running and other features but I won’t be using it while sleeping. So I’d like the Bevel to only use data from the Amazfit.

Automations - Is there a way to make them silent unless triggered?

Hey all,

Basically, as I move from my cycle tracking app to Bevel, one feature that I feel is noticeably missing is a notification being like "hey, your cycle is set to start in a few days/tomorrow/etc.". Not a big deal, Bevel AI has automations now! I set this up with the AI, which should check my data each morning and let me know if my cycle starts tomorrow.

The first day it ran, I got a message (abbreviating here) saying 'Hey, checked everything out, no cycle tomorrow!" I quickly realized my mistake and requested that the automation run silently, only messaging me if my cycle starts tomorrow.

Again, this morning, it ran and sent me a message along the lines of "your next cycle is set to start on ___. Since today is Thursday, and a few days out, I'm staying quiet for now". This gave me a giggle, but I wanted to ask y'all/the devs here if there is a way for some automations to run in the background without getting a message unless an event is triggered.

TIA!

Food database upgrade?

Am I imagining things, or have you quietly improved the food database for non-US customers? It seems like suddenly I can now log things properly in Bevel instead of relying on using a different app to sync nutritional info into Apple Health for it to read. Anyway, this was previously a major frustration so thank you for fixing that :)

Heart Rate Zones

I am very much a novice, both in fitness and to Bevel, so this may be obvious to everyone else but was not to me. The past five months has been a journey of me adding different types of exercise and with much more frequency to my schedule. I feel great, but I’m still playing around a lot with my sympathetic and parasympathetic system, striving for better balance.

There are times when I feel like my recovery score does not match how I feel in that I’m more fatigued than it reports, or I might finish a killer strength training session and it reports that I’d still have gas in the tank when I clearly don’t. Only today did I start to question the heart rate zones and ask AI if they were set correctly. It responded and suggested that my heart rate zones have been set too high, therefore underestimating the impact of my exercise routines.

So I’ve made adjustments and thought I’d throw this out in case anyone else has default settings for heart rate zones. It collected my data over previous weeks and made a recommendation on my max heart rate. I hope this helps!

VO2 Max Is Wrong in Biological Age

Hello, my VO2 Max in Fitness tab in Biological Age is wrong and different from the other tabs in Bevel. I tried to wait if it calibrate itself or something, but it is still wrong. My VO2 Max is 43. My only activated source is Garmin Connect.

Garmin data isn't accurate

I've recently switch from an Apple Watch to Garmin and I noticed that the Garmin does not separate it's splits out correctly. On Garmin Connect this looks accurate but on Bevel this does not. When I previously ran with the Apple Watch this looked accurate.

Check-in formatting

Is there really no way for check-in’s to display tables like the chat can? I can literally reply to the check-in to render the table properly and it will, but just annoying having that extra manual step. Is there any way check-in’s can be made to display tables properly?

New Phone Issue?

I am moving from old iPhone to new iPhone. When I look at data sources in bevel, it keeps referring to my old phone.i can’t figure out how to delete it. I know it pulls from health, but so far no luck.
FTR I am building to phone from scratch, but it still refers to old phone. Is there some trick, like, should I power off the old phone?

The AI chatbots should have more abilities to personalize features in the app

I subscribed with the new update to unlock the new features and I have been playing around with the AI features for a bit. I love to have a back and forth about my upcoming workout plans and a current injury to take into consideration.

With that said, I have however stumbled upon limitations on multiple occasions. It seems as if the AI is incapable of doing most things that has to do with the actual app and not just data/research. I guess it’s by design, but it should honestly be able to do certain things.

A couple of limitations from the top of my head:

• I wanted a morning report based on my newly synced stats and scheduled activities from the workout plan as soon as I get up. Not a scheduled time, but when Bevel registers that I have woken up. This was not possible.

• Similarly, I figured the scheduled activities might as well be part of the AI summary you find below main stats on the dashboard, also not possible.

• Previousky I have asked the AI to mark dates/periods of time as Injured on the status. That was only noted in the workout plan documents it uses, not in the actual status feature of the app.

I am sure there are plenty of other similar things the AI would be perfect for. In summary, I would just love to see the AI be able to do more stuff with the actual features of the app, not just text, data, research etc.

Vitamins and supplements in Bevel

Hello!

Started using Bevel a few days ago. Looks great so far.

I was wondering… should I add vitamins and supplements I take daily to Bevel? Or should I just stick to food and drinks?

Thank you!

About syncing winding down with Bevel + question about overly positive sleep score

Hey guys,

So 2 things:

  1. I just wanna either put an special alarm or to have my iPhones winding down sync with Bevel’s recommendation for when to go to sleep.
    Not referring to wake up alarm, which is the only one I managed to find, but rather I want an alarm to tell me when it’s time to sleep based off my sleep score and recommendations.

  2. I noticed Bevel is overly optimistic about my sleep score, take my screenshots of last night for example.
    I have by no means slept 97% sleep score.
    They said, apple’s default shows 83% score which seems more inline with reality.
    Any idea how to adjust this?

Thanks!

Thoughts on the Stress Score

I think the metric needs a slight tweak: Basically, the overall trend is accurate, but in my personal opinion, the scores are too high and are partly based on physical activity that isn’t recognized as such, for example, a quick run that isn’t considered a workout.

Confirming that “Ask Bevel” is the only one of these that logs food using the new AI?

Food can be logged with any of these options, and I use all of them depending on the situation. Just wanting to get confirmation from the devs that all the ones circled in blue use either the food data base or the old AI, and that only “Ask Bevel” circled in yellow logs food using the new Bevel Intelligence which is more accurate than the old “Describe Food” or “Import Food” or “Capture Food”?

Bevel Success Story - Running Coach

I wanted to share my experience. I was on and off the fence about paying for the annual subscription for Bevel. It wasn’t until the 3.0 announcement that I realized I could really use the AI features as a coach for my preparation for the Brooklyn Half Marathon. I missed the grandfathered pricing, but decided to go all in.

I asked Bevel to create a plan for me before the race, and I followed it exactly. I received planned notifications, reminders, and updates for my runs, along with guidance on where I stood with my nutrition leading up to race day and during race week. The taper week plan especially helped me.

I ended up running a personal best in the half marathon. I’m now using Bevel as my coach for a 10-miler coming up in early June and for the New York City Marathon in November.

Bevel can be used for so much more than just monitoring your metrics and health. I’m a happy user and customer.

Positive feedback with workouts!

I have been using the free version of Hevy to track workouts, and decided to try bevels workout thing for a little bit.

I love bevel for a handful of things but I decided to go back to Hevy as it has an empty start now and is probably a little further along in development than bevel (as it is a only workout app! No dis to bevel) + friends are on it lol.

HOWEVER, today I used Hevy again and I knew it would upload the general workout (like it does to apple health) BUT when I opened bevel it allowed me to additionally fill out all my weights and workouts as well.

I love it, thank you!! 😊 thought I’d share incase others didn’t know as I only just realised today. The bevel team is amazing and I only discovered this app not long ago but it’s everything I’ve been trying to find in a health app.
