In conjunction with the announcement of our newest generation of Oura Ring, we’re excited to release a fully redesigned Oura App that will enrich the Oura experience for all of our members, rolling out over the next two weeks.
The new Oura App connects the dots between daily tracking and long-term health. With additional improvements and big updates to our Stress and Activity features, Oura Ring, powered by the Oura App and Membership, makes prioritizing your health and wellness as a daily practice easier—and more personal—than ever.
“As the Oura App has grown richer with features, expanding beyond the pillars of sleep, readiness, and activity to include stress, resilience, heart health, and women’s health, and more, members have had to sift through multiple data points to distill the need-to-know insights,” says Laura Furman, Staff Product Manager at Oura. The newly designed Oura App helps distill the many health features into easily digestible insights, ready at your fingertips at any time of day.
With three new, streamlined tabs, the redesigned Oura App helps connect the dots between short-term behaviors and long-term impacts. The updates also reflect Oura’s commitment to simplicity in design across both hardware and software, empowering our members to take better care of their well-being, daily and in the long term.
What’s New in the Oura App?
The updated Oura App will serve as a personal health companion, providing a focus for each day, a holistic view of your overall health, and insights into your long-term trends.
The redesign condenses the current five tabs (Home, Readiness, Sleep, Activity, and Resilience) into three new tabs: Today, Vitals, and My Health. Each tab is thoughtfully designed to provide a more streamlined view of your holistic health.
- The Today tab provides your need-to-know health insights throughout the day, from when you wake up to when you’re winding down for bed.
- The Vitals tab delivers a more detailed snapshot of your overall health, allowing you to dive deeper into your data as needed.
- The My Health tab ties it all together by showcasing trends and providing valuable insights, helping you understand how your daily data impacts your future well-being.
After all, it’s not just about what you do today; it’s about how your daily habits accumulate over time, shaping your future health in a positive direction over months, years, and decades.
Read on to discover what’s new and how to leverage the insights to optimize both your daily well-being and long-term health.

Today: Your Daily Health Companion
The Today tab helps you focus on the most important aspects of your health, showing key stats when you wake up and surfacing other insights about your health throughout the day.
“We wanted to make the Today tab like the ‘Top Stories’ page of a news app, delivering the most timely, relevant health updates to help you navigate your day,” Furman notes.
In the Today tab, you’ll see:
- Shortcuts to Scores: The Sleep, Readiness, and Activity Scores you know and love are still at your fingertips, located at the top of the Today Tab. You’ll have shortcuts to heart rate, Cycle Insights, and Daytime Stress.
- Timeline: Here, you can review how your day progressed, seeing how your choices and actions impact your data. You can also add tags or activities to understand more about your day.
- Discoveries: Easily access your personal Discoveries, which provide rich insights on how your tagged habits correlate with changes in your health and well-being.
And beginning October 16, we’re rolling out an even more personalized version of the Today tab with the most important health insights in Today changing dynamically throughout the day, based on your unique health goals and metrics.
Vitals: A Snapshot of Your Key Health Metrics
Designed for those moments when you want a quick, holistic view of your health, the Vitals tab ensures you’re always informed without being overwhelmed. This tab provides an at-a-glance overview of your health, while still allowing you to explore deeper into each metric as you please.
In the Vitals tab, you’ll see:
- Essential health metrics: See your core health metrics, like Readiness, Sleep, and Activity, Daytime Stress, Daytime Heart Rate, and more, all in one place.
- Your baseline ranges: Understand your baseline for each metric, so you know what’s normal for you and when your metrics start to shift.
- Additional data: Access more detailed information on your contributors for each metric. Click the down arrow for top contributors and click the side arrow to view all details for the corresponding metric—you can also easily swipe left and right in this view to cycle between detailed views of each metric.
My Health: Your Long-Term Health Companion
In the My Health tab, you’ll find insights into your long-term health, including key slower-moving metrics like Cardiovascular Age and Stress Resilience. Unlike your daily metrics like Sleep Score or Daytime Stress, these metrics don’t change every day and night; however, tracking them over time is crucial for understanding your overall health trajectory.
“Think of this tab as helping you focus on the ‘so what?’ of your health—understanding how your daily habits influence your longer-term health,” Furman says.
In My Health tab, you’ll see:
- Long-term trends: Visualize slower-moving metrics in graph formats, helping you understand how your daily habits are shaping your long-term health.
- Personal reports: Find weekly, quarterly, and yearly reports that show where you’re excelling and where there’s room for improvement. You can also easily send shareable versions of these reports with your healthcare providers.
