Why this exists
I have been on the recovering side of surgery and injury more times than I planned: knee, shoulder, back, and the usual sequence. The apps I wanted for those slow weeks did not exist. Most wanted logins, cheerleading, or a subscription on a tired Tuesday. I built HealHive for the middle instead: five-minute breathing and calm tools you can use in bed, eyes closed, without a coach or a streak to keep up.
There is a Discord if you want company on the slow weeks. It stays outside the app on purpose.
FAQ
Is HealHive a medical device?
No. It is a wellness app. Talk to your doctor before starting any new exercise or meditation routine. If you are in crisis, please contact a service like Samaritans (116 123 in the UK) or 988 in the US.
Does it cost anything?
The app is free. There is no subscription and no signup. A one-off premium option is planned for the future, but everything currently in the app stays free for everyone.
What recovery is it for?
Anyone in the middle of recovery: surgery, injury, chronic conditions, mental health. The tools are designed to be useful regardless of what you are recovering from.
Where does my data go?
