Honest limits

How to read an honest number.

Most health apps hand you one confident number. Ours don’t. Here’s the small vocabulary of honest marks you’ll see across every Hale Hearth app — and why we use them.

The honest marks

Four marks you’ll see

A range, not a point

A phone camera, a photo or a diary can only support a range. We show the band — a low and a high — instead of a fake exact figure that would flip the moment the light changed.

A confidence chip

Beside a read you’ll see LOW, MEDIUM or HIGH. It tells you how much to trust today’s number, so a shaky read never masquerades as a sure one.

An abstain

When an app can’t see enough — the light shifted, the frame was off — it holds off and asks you to retake. A withheld read beats a misleading number.

Compared only to you

Where we track change, we compare you to your own past self — never a leaderboard, never a ‘looks score’, never someone else.

The line we don’t cross

Trackers and journals — not diagnosis

records what you enter · never a clinical verdict

What our apps are

  • Trackers, journals, coaches and loggers.
  • Ways to keep records and see your own patterns.
  • Companions to a routine your clinician already gave you.

What they are not

  • A diagnosis, treatment, or cure.
  • A dosing calculator or medication advice.
  • A substitute for your care team or emergency services.
Not medical advice. Talk to your clinician.
