Diorama vs Bevel
Diorama and Bevel, honestly
Bevel interprets your Apple Health data. Diorama coaches with it — structured plans, adapted to your life, explained in plain language.
Where Bevel shines
Bevel is a strong consolidated dashboard. If your main goal is to see your Apple Health data interpreted in one polished place — recovery, sleep, strain, stress, and nutrition together — Bevel does that well, and its free tracking tier is generous.
Bevel also covers ground Diorama deliberately does not: food logging, a biological-age estimate, and uploading lab records into the app.
Where the paths split
Scope and philosophy, not a scorecard
Diorama makes a different bet: insight is not the product — better training is.
A real training plan, not just a readout.
Periodized race plans from 5K to marathon, sprint triathlon to Ironman, plus cycling, swimming, and strength — with sessions structured the way a coach writes them, not a daily suggestion generated from yesterday's score.
Shows its work.
Every score has a plain name and links to what moves it. When guidance changes, Diorama tells you why — poor sleep, high recent load — in plain language, not a verdict from a black box.
Medications are part of the picture.
Diorama tracks medications HealthKit-first and treats them as context a coach should know, which matters if you train with a real-world health condition.
Fitness age, honestly framed.
Diorama estimates a fitness age from your recent training, sleep, and heart data — with its drivers listed, its confidence stated, and an explicit disclaimer that it is training guidance, not a biological-age or medical measurement.
Privacy as architecture.
Diorama requires no account. Your data lives on your device except for the AI requests you explicitly make, and nothing about those is stored on our servers.
Built for beginners as well as athletes.
Scores emphasize your own trend, never a grade. Starting out reads as "here's your baseline," not a low mark.
Bevel
Bevel is a strong consolidated dashboard. If your main goal is to see your Apple Health data interpreted in one polished place — recovery, sleep, strain, stress, and nutrition together — Bevel does that well, and its free tracking tier is generous.
Diorama
- Plans, not just scores. Periodized training for running, cycling, swimming, triathlon, and strength — structured the way a coach writes it, not a daily suggestion from yesterday's number.
- It shows its work. Plain-named metrics, each linked to what moves it. When guidance changes, you're told why in plain language — never handed an unexplained verdict.
- Confidence, stated. Diorama tells you what its readiness is based on — and when data is thin, it says so instead of pretending.
- Medications in the picture. HealthKit-first medication tracking, treated as context a coach should know — because plenty of athletes train with real-world health conditions.
- Fitness age without the fortune-telling. An estimate built from your recent training, sleep, and heart data — drivers listed, confidence stated, and honestly disclaimed as training guidance, not a medical measurement.
Choose honestly.
Choose Bevel if you mainly want one polished dashboard over your Apple Health data, with nutrition logging and longevity-flavored metrics included. Choose Diorama if you want that health picture put to work: structured, periodized training that adapts to how you actually slept, recovered, and lived — explained plainly, safe for beginners, and private by architecture.
Field notes
Common questions
Is Diorama a health dashboard like Bevel?
Diorama tracks and displays your health picture — sleep, readiness, habits, mood, medications — but its center of gravity is coaching: structured training plans that adapt to that picture and explain their reasoning.
Does Diorama track nutrition like Bevel?
No, and that's deliberate. Diorama focuses on training, recovery, and life context rather than food logging.
Does Diorama have a biological age like Bevel?
Diorama offers a fitness age estimate through its AI coach — built from your recent training, sleep, and heart data, with its drivers and confidence shown, and clearly disclaimed as training guidance rather than a biological or medical measurement.
Can I upload lab results to Diorama?
Not today. Diorama's approach is to derive a small set of coaching-relevant signals rather than store health records.
Do both apps need an Apple Watch?
Both are built for iPhone and Apple Watch and read Apple Health. Diorama also works with workout data from other sources that write to Apple Health.
