Frequently asked questions about Hadeed
Hadeed is a calorie counter and AI gym coach for iPhone and Apple Watch: it counts calories from a photo, builds adaptive workout plans, and scores your recovery, strain and sleep. These are the questions people actually ask — answered directly.
Can Hadeed count calories from a photo?
Yes — that is the core feature. Point the camera at your plate and AI vision itemizes the meal: calories, protein, carbs and fat for each item, in about three seconds. You review the breakdown and confirm before it saves.
How accurate is the photo calorie counting?
Photo results are estimates — no camera can weigh food. Hadeed makes them trustworthy instead of pretending they are exact: every item carries a confidence level, low-confidence items are flagged for review, portions are editable before saving, and the numbers are sanity-checked against the 4-4-9 calorie rule. For packaged food, the barcode scanner logs exact label data.
Is Hadeed free?
Yes to start, with no commitment. Manual food logging, barcode diary basics, the 1,200+ exercise library, custom workouts, and core recovery, sleep and strain readouts are free.
What does the Elite subscription add?
Elite unlocks the AI features: photo calorie scanning, AI meal estimates, unlimited adaptive workout plans, Coach Hadeed chat, daily recaps and insights, biological age, and the full Plans Library. It is an optional subscription through your Apple ID.
Do I need an Apple Watch?
No. Food logging, workout plans and the exercise library work with just an iPhone. A wearable that writes to Apple Health — an Apple Watch or another supported device — is what powers the recovery, sleep and strain scores. There is also a dedicated Apple Watch app for logging sets from your wrist.
Does Hadeed work with Whoop?
Yes. Hadeed reads Apple Health first, and you can connect your Whoop account so Whoop's sleep and heart data fill any gaps. Recovery scoring even has a dedicated fallback model for HRV-less data sources, so Whoop-sourced days still get a real score.
How are recovery, strain and sleep scored?
Recovery (0–100) weighs overnight HRV and resting heart rate against your own 14-day baseline, plus sleep quality, respiratory rate and blood oxygen. Strain (0–21) accumulates from time your heart rate spends elevated above rest, weighted by intensity. Sleep (0–100) grades duration against your personal sleep need plus deep, REM, efficiency and continuity. All three calibrate to your baseline, not population averages — see the vitals guide for the full breakdown.
How reliable are the vitals scores?
They are training guidance, not measurements of truth. Scores are only computed when there is enough real signal — Hadeed returns no score rather than guessing — and there is a short calibration period while your personal baseline builds. They are wellness estimates, not medical readings.
Which languages does Hadeed support?
Arabic, English, French and Spanish.
Is my data private?
Data is collected only to power specific features and is never sold or shared with advertisers or data brokers. Traffic uses TLS 1.3, data at rest is AES-256 encrypted, the Apple Health connection is optional and revocable, and you have full access, correction and erasure rights.
Is Hadeed a medical device?
No. Hadeed is a general-wellness product (SFDA MDS-G27 classification). Its scores and estimates are for fitness guidance, not diagnosis or treatment — ليس جهازًا طبيًا / not a medical device.
Is Hadeed available on Android or the web?
Not yet. Hadeed runs on iPhone (iOS 17+) and Apple Watch (watchOS 11+). No Android or web release date has been announced — we would rather say that plainly than promise one.
