Aging might be inevitable, but a wave of biohacking apps suggests it could be reversible—at least from a biological age perspective. These apps promise to track and even slow your biological age using data from your daily habits and health metrics.


While no app can guarantee eternal youth, these tools may offer valuable insights into how your habits impact long-term health. Just remember: personalized health is still a developing science, and any major decisions should be made in consultation with a healthcare provider.


Read our story linked below about the growing wave of interest in longevity science, and then keep reading below for a look at a few of the major apps that proponents are using.


Humanity



  • Available on: iOS

  • Price: Free with subscription options

  • Rating on App Store: 5 stars with 3,000 ratings

  • What It Claims: Humanity Health is an AI-powered longevity app that utilizes data from wearables to track your biological age, reward healthy habits, and provide personalized insights designed to slow aging and enhance overall health. Humanity tracks blood aging, biological age, aging trends, and how the choices users make affect their age.

    How It Works: Humanity connects with Apple Health and the Apple Watch to track movements and heart rate. Users can input their daily nutrition data, time spent meditating, and any recovery activities, such as spending time in natural light. Pro users can upload blood test results to track additional biomarkers.

  • Notable Aspects: Humanity provides a daily score that reflects how well a user is adhering to longevity-enhancing behaviors. The app encourages community growth by prompting users to share it with friends and connect with others.

  • Caveats: To fully experience the Humanity app and view their biological age, users must upgrade to a Pro account for $180 per year.


Novos Life



  • Available on: iOS, Android

  • Price: Free

  • App Store Rating: 5 stars with 31 ratings on iOS; 3.6 stars with 39 reviews on the Google Play Store.

  • What It Claims: Novos Life is a free, science-backed longevity app that helps you lower your biological age by providing personalized insights, daily actions, and AI guidance based on advanced algorithms. It acts as your copilot for a longer, healthier life by turning the latest aging science into simple, actionable habits.

    How It Works: Novos Life uses a series of questionnaires to determine the user's initial biological age. The Novos Life app includes small tasks that can be completed for points, which affect how the app indicates biological age is progressing.

  • Notable Aspects: Novos Life is not initially intuitive and may require some time to become familiar with its navigation.

  • Caveats: Novos Life also asks personal questions related to marital status, work history, income, and citizenship that may be off-putting to some users.


GeroSense



  • Available on: iOS (Android version coming soon).

  • Price: Free

  • Rating on App Store: 4 stars with 13 ratings

  • What It Claims: GeroSense is a free iPhone app that tracks your biological age and resilience by analyzing step and heart rate data, offering personalized health insights while contributing to aging research. The company behind GeroSense claims to have studied the biological age trajectories of hundreds of thousands of people.

  • How It Works: GeroSense connects to the iOS Health app and uses data such as date of birth, heart rate, and step count. Users will be asked to include their height and current weight, and if they have a history of smoking. The user is also asked whether they have a history of diabetes, hypertension, cancer, coronary heart disease, heart failure, heart attack, or stroke.

  • Notable Aspects: Once the user has entered the necessary information, GeroSense will synchronize the data and display key metrics, including the user's biological age compared to their calendar age. The app estimates biological age primarily using step data, although it may also incorporate other metrics. GeroSense also compares users to others in similar demographic or health categories.

  • Caveats: While GeroSense is currently only available for iOS, the platform is compatible with Apple Health and Google Fit, with more integrations coming soon. GeroSense syncs when the app is open; however, users cannot manually update their information.


Longevity Biomarkers



  • Available on: iOS

    Rating on App Store: 4.5 stars with 10 ratings

  • Price: Free with subscription options

  • What It Claims: The Longevity Biomarkers App provides personalized insights into health and aging by analyzing over 20 key biomarkers, estimating biological age, tracking changes over time, and offering real-time data, color-coded feedback, and science-based guidance.

  • How It Works: The app connects with Apple Health and allows users to manually update biomarkers, such as BMI, visceral fat, blood pressure, body fat percentage, and skeletal muscle mass, to help reduce biological age as tracked within the app.

    Notable Aspects: The Longevity Biomarkers app is open-source and provides explanations of each biomarker, including its relationship to longevity. Longevity Biomarkers also includes citations for referenced health studies, along with health tips and practical examples of each biomarker and testing methods.

  • Caveats: Users must upgrade to a monthly, quarterly, or annual premium plan to access additional biomarkers.


Each of these apps offers a unique approach to longevity tracking. However, they are tools, not substitutes for professional medical guidance, and should be used in consultation with a healthcare provider.
