Bevel 3 adds Biological Age and Health Records

Bevel 3.0 has arrived with a rebuilt Intelligence layer, a new Biological Age metric and a Health Records vault for blood tests, lab results and clinical notes. It is a bigger update than a simple design refresh, but it also shows Bevel putting more of its advanced tools behind the paid tier.

Back in December, the company made most of the app free, which gave users access to the core recovery, strain, sleep and fitness tools without paying. Which was great. The paid tier was mostly about Bevel Intelligence. With Bevel 3, however, that premium layer now looks more substantial.


Bevel Intelligence gets a bigger role

The company says it has rebuilt Bevel Intelligence from the ground up. The app now describes it as a personal data analyst and coach that works in the background, rather than just a chat-style feature users open when they have a question.

The new version adds proactive check-ins, web search, chart generation, deeper analysis, smarter food logging and training plans. Users can set a goal such as a 10K or half marathon, then Bevel Intelligence can build a plan around it.

That makes the feature feel more useful than before. It also gives Bevel a clearer paid hook because the AI side now covers coaching, nutrition, analysis and workout planning, not just summaries of existing data.


Biological Age is a new metric

The most newsworthy addition, though, is Biological Age. Bevel says it updates every Monday and uses a mix of physiological, lifestyle and blood biomarker data.

The smartphone app shows a confidence level attached to the estimate, based on data recency and completeness. That is a sensible detail because biological age metrics can look more exact than they really are. Bevel also shows the factors moving the score, including examples such as LDL cholesterol, resting heart rate baseline, weight and ferritin.

Unfortunately, this appears to be another of the new paid features. So it does sit behind a pay-wall.


Health Records fills in the gaps

Health Records is the other major addition. Users can upload blood tests, lab results and clinical notes, with Bevel extracting key biomarkers and feeding them into the rest of the app.

That is a useful direction because wearable data only tells part of the story. Watches can track sleep, recovery, heart rate and training load, but they cannot measure LDL, ferritin or many other markers that shape long-term health trends.

Bevel says records can be added as PDFs or photos through the app or web portal. The app then stores them securely, summarises the documents and connects the data with wearable and lifestyle metrics.

We’ve seen a number of other brands adding this kind of feature. Whoop and Ultrahuman are two examples that spring to mind.


Not backing down

What can’t be ignored in all of this is the timing. We recently covered Whoop taking Bevel to court over lookalike app claims, and Bevel 3 now lands with one of the app’s biggest updates yet.

The app already overlaps with Whoop in areas such as strain, recovery and coaching. Bevel 3 adds more features that sit in a similar broad space, so the comparison is not going away. But whatever is happening in the background with the legal case, Bevel does not look like it is backing down.
