Daily Budgets: pacing that adapts to your day

Article summary

  • Visible now suggests a daily PacePoint budget based on your Stability Score.
  • Your suggested budget may be lower on lower Stability days to make room for rest, and slightly higher on higher Stability days.
  • You’re always in control, you can accept the suggestion or stick with your usual budget.
  • A new summary on your Stability results page explains what’s behind your score each day.

Your capacity can vary from day to day, and now your PacePoint budget can too.

We’re introducing Daily Budgets, a new feature that suggests a PacePoint budget based on your daily Stability Score.

Many of you already do this yourselves, adjusting your budgets depending on how your body is doing. Now, Visible does the hard work for you.

It’s an exciting step toward making Visible more personalized and responsive to your body.

Here’s how it works.

A budget that reflects your day

Each day, after you’ve completed your Morning Check-in, Visible gives you a Stability Score and suggests a PacePoint budget for the day.

Your suggested budget will reflect your Stability Score, helping you make better pacing decisions.

Here’s what you can expect:

  • On an average day, your suggested budget will usually stay at your baseline.
  • On lower Stability days, Visible may suggest a lower budget to make more room for rest.
  • On higher Stability days, Visible may suggest a slightly higher budget, reflecting signs of more capacity for activity. A higher suggested budget isn’t a target – always listen to your body and rest when you need to.

On lower Stability days, there’s one exception. If your heart rate is elevated, Visible may keep your suggested budget at baseline rather than lowering it. That’s because, with an elevated heart rate, the same activities already cost more PacePoints than usual, so your budget is already working harder to protect you.

You’re always in control. You can accept the suggested budget or stick with your baseline budget for the day. Accepting a suggestion won’t change your baseline budget.

More insight into your Stability Score

We’re also making it easier to understand what’s behind your daily Stability Score.

Your Stability page now includes a short summary explaining the factors that contributed to your score that day.

Try Daily Budgets now

We’re releasing the feature in stages. Make sure you’re on the latest version of the Visible app (26.10.2), and you’ll see the new Daily Budget over the next few weeks.

As always, we’d love to hear what you think. You can share your feedback directly in the app to help us keep improving Visible.
