Exposure Radar for iPhone

Know how much contagious illness you’re around, and how ready your body is.

Exposure Radar estimates your exposure from the places you go, how crowded they are and what local wastewater shows is spreading. It compares your Apple Health vitals with your own baseline. Then it helps you plan for the events you want to be well for.

1-week free trial, then $39.99 a year. Demo mode is free.

Sample numbers. Readiness 66 = 0.6 × 78 + 0.4 × (100 − 52).

Three scores

Three numbers, each out of 100

They share one color scale, from green to red, and none of them is a black box. See exactly how each one is calculated.

Readiness

How ready you are today

Blends your immune readiness (60%) with how light your exposure has been over the past week (40%). One number to check each morning.

  • 75–100Ready
  • 60–74Mostly ready
  • 45–59Take it easy
  • 0–44Rest and recover
How readiness works

Exposure

How much contagious illness you’re around

Each day gets an exposure index from where you spent time, what kind of place it was, how crowded it was, what’s spreading locally and how dry the air was. Your 7-day exposure weights recent days most.

  • 0–24Low
  • 25–49Moderate
  • 50–74High
  • 75–100Very high
How exposure works

Immune readiness

How your body is doing, compared with your usual

Compares seven Apple Health signals, such as resting heart rate, heart rate variability and sleeping wrist temperature, with your own baseline. 75 means you’re at your usual. If several core signals shift at once, you get a strain signal.

  • 80–100Above baseline
  • 65–79At baseline
  • 50–64Mild strain
  • 0–49Elevated strain

Plan ahead

Be well for the days that matter

Pick the trips and gatherings on your calendar that you don’t want to miss. For each one, the app sets a low-exposure window before it: 5 days by default, or anywhere from 2 to 14. The goal is to keep each day’s exposure index under 30.

  • A reminder on the morning your window starts.
  • A reminder two weeks before, in case you’re due for a flu or COVID shot.
  • Wastewater levels where you’re going, so you know what’s spreading there.
  • Your calendar is only read, never changed. Details are kept only for the events you pick.

Low-exposure window

Sample: daily exposure index before Sam’s birthday party

In this sample, Monday to Friday scored 22, 14, 34, 11 and 8. Wednesday went over the target of 30.

Family & Friends

Look out for each other

Share your daily scores with the people you choose, so they can tell when you’re run down. If they share with you, you can see how they’re doing too. People you share with don’t need a subscription.

What they see

  • Your readiness, 7-day exposure and immune readiness
  • The last 30 days of those scores
  • A status word and a short headline
  • Whether you have a strain signal
  • The display name you choose

What they never see

  • The places you go
  • Your raw Health data, such as heart rate, temperature or sleep

End-to-end encrypted. Your iPhone encrypts what you share before it’s sent. The key is only in your invite link, so the relay that passes your scores along can’t read them, and neither can the developer. Anyone with the link can see your scores, so send it only to people you choose. You can stop sharing at any time, and old links stop working.

Your data

How your data is handled

The short version. The policies below have every detail.

No account

There’s no sign-up and nothing to log in to.

No ads, analytics or tracking

The app has no ads and no analytics, crash-reporting or other third-party code. Nothing is sold.

Stored on your iPhone

Your places, the Health data the app reads, the events you plan and your scores are kept in the app’s private storage on your iPhone.

A few lookups leave the phone

Place coordinates go to Apple Maps to find the type of place. A location rounded to about 1 km goes to Apple Weather and the FCC for weather and county. A county or state code goes to the CDC for wastewater data.

Sharing is encrypted

If you use Family & Friends, your scores are encrypted on your iPhone. The developer’s relay stores only data it can’t read.

Delete everything at once

Settings → Delete all data clears the app’s data from your iPhone and deletes anything you’ve shared from the relay.

Not a medical device

Exposure Radar gives estimates for personal awareness. It doesn’t diagnose, treat or prevent any illness, and it can’t tell you whether you’re infected. A strain signal isn’t a diagnosis, and a low exposure score doesn’t mean you won’t get sick. If you feel unwell, talk to a clinician. In an emergency, call 911.
