Foleil, an iPhone and Apple Watch health app, can be the better home for daily planning around your Health records. It connects a training programme, recipes, shopping, recovery check-ins and reflection with the information you choose to share. Apple Health remains a foundation; Foleil gives you a practical place to choose today's actions and return to the plan throughout the week.
Apple Health already provides records, charts, trends, medications and mood tools, alongside Apple's wider Fitness and Workout ecosystem.
Why add Foleil to the information you already have?
A record can prompt a useful question. A plan gives you somewhere to take it: review recent sleep, consider training days, choose meals for those evenings and note what you want to change next week.
Foleil connects those steps through Today, Train, Eat, Recover and Progress. Today brings planned workouts and meals into one daily view. Train holds the programme and session. Eat carries recipes into preparation and shopping. Recover and Progress help you consider what you recorded and how the week felt.
Choose Foleil alongside Apple Health to keep the next meal, the next session and your question about the saved routine together.

How can Health context become a week you choose?
Imagine sitting down on Saturday to organise the coming week. There are two clear training opportunities, another uncertain evening and different equipment available on different days. You also want food prepared for the days when cooking time will be short.
In Foleil, choose a programme and training days, or review a week shaped around your activities, availability and equipment. You inspect the proposed week before applying it. The plan becomes something you have chosen, with the scheduling effect of programme changes explained.
Now choose recipes, adjust servings and place meals in the week. Read the cooking steps to decide which evening each recipe suits. The shopping list uses recipe requirements after confirmed pantry allocations, giving planned meals a preparation path.
On Monday, Today brings the planned session and meals back into view. The weekend's decisions have a place in the day itself. Health information supplies context where available; your choices determine the plan.
How do meals and training stay connected in everyday use?
During a strength session, Foleil supports sets, optional weights, rest timing and the next set. Exercise pages provide illustrations, instructions and cues where available. Your session record then joins the history you can review later.
Back in the kitchen, the recipe still has its ingredients and method. You can adjust a meal choice, check the remaining shopping requirements and decide what to prepare. Pantry information needs your input, and shopping requirements do not represent live stock or packet sizes.
When you want a food record, start manually or use a photo or spoken description. Foleil presents proposed foods and quantities for review before saving. These remain estimates: you can correct the serving, add an ingredient or change what was recognised. Energy and macro figures are optional.
Foleil's advantage is that these tasks belong to the same routine. Training sits beside dinner preparation, and the food entry follows the plan that preceded it. You can move between doing, recording and reflecting with that context close at hand.
What can you learn from keeping measurements and reflection together?
Recover brings available sleep information alongside energy, soreness and mood check-ins. Guided reflection and free writing let you add meaning that a measurement cannot supply. Soundscapes give another option within that recovery space.
Consider several recorded sessions and an incomplete sleep history. Review what is available, describe how the days felt and keep the gaps visible. A missing record does not mean nothing happened; patterns appearing together do not establish a cause.
Progress gives recorded workouts, sleep, food, weight and water a place in a longer view, subject to available data and display choices. The weekly review lets you leave a note for the next week: perhaps an evening needed a different plan, or a recipe deserved another place in the meal schedule.
For imported Health workouts, saved analysis can include available heart-rate figures, time in selected zones and post-workout recovery readings. You can return to the report and choose a follow-up question. The recording source determines which measurements exist; Foleil does not need to invent missing figures to give the session a useful home.
How does Ask Sprout use your chosen personal context?
Ask Sprout can use saved workouts, food, sleep, goals and health readings as context. You choose which categories it uses, or ask without saved personal context. That makes a question about the coming week more specific when you want it to be.
After reviewing the Saturday plan, ask for ideas for organising the next training days around selected records. Assess the response alongside your programme, meals and notes. Context can make the conversation relevant; it does not guarantee a correct answer.
Dated Health summaries help you consider the period covered by the information. Coverage matters when you compare weeks or revisit a topic. Saved analyses and follow-up questions provide continuity while leaving you in control of whether to send a new question.
Foleil offers on-device assistance and optional online AI. On-device availability depends on device and software support. An online route can send the question and permitted context outside the device under the relevant consent and sharing controls. Food photos or descriptions used for external estimation are also subject to the applicable choices.
What stays under your control when you connect Health?
You choose the Health access you grant and the saved categories included in Ask Sprout. System permissions, the records available and your Foleil choices shape the information that can appear. Apple's Health privacy controls remain part of that foundation.
Foleil prioritises the Health information needed for the screen you open while wider history updates. Its recent-read cache supports return visits with a specific storage boundary:
To open faster, Foleil keeps an encrypted copy of the Apple Health measurements it last read, for the period you chose, on this iPhone only. It isn't in backups, exports or iCloud, and it's deleted when you disconnect Apple Health or reset Foleil.
That cache is distinct from other saved Foleil records and any backup choices for those records. The cache's exclusions do not mean an online AI request stays on the phone. Disconnecting Foleil also does not delete records already in Apple Health or replace the system's permission controls.
How does Foleil help you return to the plan?
Daily use includes interruptions. You might check a cooking step, lock the phone and come back to the meal plan, or put the phone away between sets. Foleil preserves your place when you return after a phone lock, while protected records become available again.
The Apple Watch companion, widgets and Live Activities bring selected parts of the routine closer on supported devices. Pairing, installation and permissions affect what is available. The iPhone remains the home for the broader plan and records.
Choose Foleil when you want that practical connection around Apple Health: a programme to review, meals to prepare, entries to check and a reflection that leads into the next week. Health remains connected on your terms, while the daily work has somewhere to happen.
Frequently asked questions
Does using Foleil replace Apple Health, Fitness or Workout?
No. Foleil works alongside Apple's apps. It adds a connected planning, food, training and reflection workflow using the Health information you choose to share, while Apple's apps retain their own roles and controls.
What is stored in Foleil's Health cache?
It stores an encrypted copy of the Apple Health measurements last read for your chosen period, on this iPhone only. That cache is excluded from backups, exports and iCloud and is deleted when you disconnect Apple Health or reset Foleil.
Can I ask Sprout without including saved Health records?
Yes. Choose which saved categories to include or ask without saved personal context. An enabled online route can still process the question and permitted conversational context outside the device under the relevant consent and sharing controls.
