Meet Taper
Built for hybrid training
An app that actually coaches. It plans your week around your life, reads every session seconds after it syncs, and holds endurance and strength in one model — rebuilding the plan when the week doesn't go to plan.
Your week
Run, ride, swim and strength in a single week that flexes around your life — lock what’s fixed and Taper re-plans the rest.
After every session
The moment a workout syncs, your coach breaks down what happened — the stats, the context, what was strong and where to sharpen up.
Ask anything
Tell your coach about a niggle, a work trip, a bad night’s sleep or how much time you actually have this week — and it re-plans the rest.
In the gym
A real progression engine: sets, reps and load are prescribed against your estimated 1RM and your own lifting history, then progressed week to week — and the cost of a heavy squat day lands in the same model as your long run.

Runs, rides, swims, strength, mobility, yoga, pilates and every other endurance sport. Each one lands in the same plan and the same model, from your first week to race day.

It’s the first app that actually treats my lifting as part of my fatigue, not a side quest. The plan finally respects what a heavy squat day costs you.
Sam Whitmore
I used to second-guess every rest day. Taper just tells me what to do and why — and the reasoning is usually better than mine.
Hannah Reid
The race-day prediction was within 2 minutes of my actual half. The predictions are genuinely useful for understanding where my fitness is right now, not where I think it is.

FAQ
Garmin, Whoop, Oura, Wahoo, Apple Health and Intervals.icu. If a device exports a full activity stream, Taper picks it up the same morning — indoor trainer sessions and outdoor activities alike.
Not directly. Strava’s API terms don’t allow your activity data to be passed to AI models, so Taper can’t read from it. You can export your full history from Strava and bulk upload it to Taper instead — and your day-to-day activities come straight from your watch anyway.
No. Pace, heart rate and how the session felt are enough to get real coaching. A bike or running meter sharpens the numbers, but nothing is required to start.
No. Taper works best with Apple Watch, but planned workouts can also be pushed to Garmin devices, and anything your watch records syncs through Apple Health.
Run, ride, swim, strength and hybrid training, plus mobility, yoga and pilates. Built around serious endurance and strength athletes — triathletes, cyclists, runners, lifters, ultra and Hyrox — and comfortable juggling several at once.
Both. Taper is built for demanding, multi-sport athletes, but it explains every metric in plain language and pitches its guidance to your experience level — so you’re never left decoding a dashboard.
Just tell the coach. Move a workout, shorten it, swap it, lock in travel or a rest day, or ask it to rebuild the week — Taper re-plans around what you throw at it, in plain conversation.
No. Taper works as a full adaptive plan or as an on-demand advisor — if you’d rather just train how you like and get a daily train-or-rest call with the reasoning, it does that too.
It can be your primary guidance or sit alongside a coach you already work with. Taper handles the day-to-day decisions and analysis; how much you lean on it is up to you.
Recovery scores give you one number. Taper tracks muscle, impact, cardio and neuromuscular fatigue independently — then turns that into a concrete decision, with the reasoning attached.
No problem. Taper builds your fatigue model from training load alone — HRV and sleep from Whoop or Oura add another layer, but you get a complete plan either way.
Taper is free to download and starts with a free trial. After that it’s a monthly or yearly subscription, billed through your Apple account — cancel any time from the App Store.
Taper is iPhone and Apple Watch today — that tight integration is a big part of how it works. An Android version is being worked on and isn’t far off.
The coaching work — building your week, reading each session, answering your questions — runs on third-party AI services. They don’t store your training data and they don’t use it to train their models.Read the privacy policy →
Your training data stays yours, encrypted in transit and at rest. We never sell it, never share it, and you can export or delete everything from settings at any time.
