Hi Bevel team,

Loving the app. I’m seeing a consistent gap on days with lots of unrecorded walking (no Workout started on the Watch).

Concrete example – Aug 7, 2025

• Apple Health: 93 Exercise minutes.

• Bevel: Strain 20%, No activities, and only ~17 min of time in HR zones.

I understand Bevel emphasizes continuous HR (which I like for accuracy). The issue is that on real-world days with many short walks (errands, stairs, sightseeing), Apple awards Exercise minutes from motion while HR coverage is sparse, so Bevel appears to undervalue total daily load.

Real-world use case (sightseeing)

On Aug 7 I was walking up/down city streets—multiple short bouts, hills, heat, backpack. I felt genuinely fatigued afterward. Apple credited ~93 min of Exercise; Bevel credited ~20% strain with only ~17 min of HR coverage. On days like this, Cardio Load likely ends up underestimated even though the physiological stress is meaningful.

Feature requests (opt-in):

1. Fuse Exercise minutes with HR coverage when no Workout is recorded: if HR coverage is partial, scale daily strain using Apple’s Exercise minutes as a conservative fallback (e.g., credit Z1/Z2 load for uncovered minutes).

2. Display HR coverage % per day/workout so users understand confidence in the strain.

3. Add an “Incidental Activity” line item on the Strain page summarizing load inferred from motion + partial HR, separate from Workouts.

4. Provide a small reconciliation card comparing Apple Exercise minutes vs Bevel Exercise minutes with a reason (“+76 min incidental walking credited at Z1/Z2”).

5. Add a quick manual backfill action (e.g., “Create Walk from 12:10–12:35”) using the Activity window Bevel detects.

6. Optional: allow a day-level RPE slider (or note like “sightseeing / lots of stairs”) to nudge daily strain within safe bounds when HR coverage is poor, with caps to prevent over-crediting.

Thanks for considering—this would make strain reflect real-world days much better without forcing users to start a Workout for every 20-minute chunk.
