No more recurring charge
cowe is paid once and yours to keep. There is no membership renewing in the background, no price changes, nothing to remember to cancel later.
Cancel the fee, keep the score
Cancel your Oura subscription — keep a morning score.
cowe is a pay-once recovery app for Apple Watch that gives you a morning readiness score without any subscription. It reads the overnight HRV, resting heart rate and sleep your watch already records, scores them against your own baseline entirely on-device, and asks for nothing in return — no ring, no account, no monthly fee. So you can cancel the membership and still wake up to one calm number.

Recovery you own, on the Apple Watch you already have — pay once, no subscription. Join free now and lock $15 before it rises to $24.99 at launch.
One calm morning recovery score — computed on your own device from the signals your Apple Watch already records.
If I cancel my Oura subscription, do I lose my morning score?
With Oura, the daily insights live behind the membership — Oura gates its insights behind a recurring membership subscription on top of the ring — so cancelling generally trims the ring back to limited basics. cowe sidesteps the whole arrangement: it is a separate, one-time app that builds its own morning readiness number from the Apple Watch you already wear. You stop paying monthly and still get a score the next morning.
You keep a daily readiness number
Instead of a ring that quietly loses its insights, you wake up to one clear score every morning — built fresh from last night's signals.
Your data stops travelling
No account, no cloud sync. Every score is computed on your iPhone and Apple Watch, and stays there. Cancelling the membership also means cancelling the cloud round-trip.
How do I switch from Oura to a pay-once score?
The switch is deliberately boring — that is the point of a tool you own. You cancel Oura on your own terms; cowe is a separate purchase that runs on the watch already on your wrist. The two are not connected and don't need to be.
- Cancel the Oura membership wherever you started it (the Oura app or your App Store subscriptions) — cowe doesn't touch that, you stay in control.
- Keep wearing the Apple Watch you already own to bed. It already records the overnight HRV, resting heart rate and sleep cowe needs.
- Open cowe in the morning for one readiness score, read against your own baseline — and a clear note when it isn't confident yet.

Why pay once instead of subscribing forever?
Because recovery scores don't get more accurate when you pay every month — they get more accurate when they read your own trend. The difference between cowe and a membership is structural, not a discount.
Reads against your baseline
HRV is noisy night to night, so cowe weighs the trend against your personal history — not a stranger's average and not a single morning.
One number, not a dashboard
HRV, resting heart rate and sleep fold into a single morning readiness score. No streaks to chase, no daily homework — just the signal you'd actually act on.
Honest when it's unsure
If a night is thin on data or your baseline is still forming, cowe says so instead of inventing a confident number. Trends matter more than one reading.

Questions about cancelling and switching
Can I get a readiness score without a ring?
Yes. cowe runs on the Apple Watch and iPhone you already own — no ring, band or strap to buy, charge or replace.
How much does cowe cost vs a membership?
A one-time $24.99, never monthly. Oura gates its insights behind a recurring membership on top of the ring. Waitlist members lock the founding $15.
Where does my data go after I switch?
Nowhere. Scores are computed on your devices. No account, no cloud sync, no tracking — cancelling the membership cancels the cloud round-trip too.
Is cowe a medical device?
No. cowe is a wellness and fitness tool — a readiness signal from your own data. It does not diagnose, treat or prevent any condition.
