Aera 4.0
November 2026The biggest update Aera has had, and most of it is for runners: your run again in 3D, every effort against your own, and the watch you already wear.
Your run, again, in 3D
The replay is rebuilt as a film: four live figures, camera views and map styles. Every run of the past week replays free, and with Premium you can share it as a vertical video.
How hard it felt
Tap 1 to 10 on any workout, saved to Apple Health with your OK. Best efforts say where a run sits, like 2nd fastest of 41.
Trends
Cardio fitness, resting heart rate, effort, endurance and more, each saying what changed and whether the change is real.
Any watch, or none
Garmin, Polar, COROS and every watch that writes to Apple Health now get full pages, and each page says plainly what it can read and what would add more. Link Polar directly for its nights and workouts. Import Garmin exports and FIT, GPX or TCX files with their GPS tracks, ready to replay.
How's today?
Tell Aera how the day feels, and mark time off when you are ill or away. Your scores and notes take it into account.
Premium, rebuilt
Your scores every day, with their last 30 days, stay free, and so do the replays of the past week. Premium keeps your whole history, every replay and the longer reports, and the yearly plan starts with a free week.
