NOOP Wiki

Your strap. Your data. Your machine. Local-first, no cloud.

NOOP is an independent, source-available, fully-offline companion app for WHOOP straps (4.0 and 5.0/MG), on macOS, Android, and iOS. It pairs directly with the strap over Bluetooth, keeps everything on your own device, and recomputes your three daily scores — Charge (how recovered and ready you are), Effort (the day's load), and Rest (last night's sleep) — along with HRV, all on a single 0–100 scale, locally. No account, no cloud, no subscription. Think of it as an energy economy: you wake with a Charge, spend it as Effort, and rebuild it with Rest. It reads your own device's data over your own Bluetooth; nothing is uploaded.
