HDA App Support
Help for the Human Design Academy app for iPhone and Apple Watch
What HDA is
Human Design Academy (HDA) turns your day into one number: the Superhuman Score, from 0 to 100. It comes from six daily habits: steps, workouts, meditation, sleep, water and to-dos done. Most of it fills in by itself from Apple Health and your calendar.
Around the score there is a lot more: an AI agent that helps plan your to-dos, Connect for following friends and racing their steps, friendly to-do fights, the Discover map, skills you earn by quiz, and a portfolio of your work.

Questions
How do I sign in?
Tap Continue with Google under any of the intro screens, or Continue with Apple in the latest version of the app. Signing in keeps your progress safe and brings it to a new phone.
If you are a student of the Academy, sign in with the email the Academy has for you. The app recognises you by that email. There is no code to type.
How do I allow or change Apple Health permissions?
Open the Health app, tap your picture at the top right, then Apps, then Human Design Academy. Turn on the types you want to share.
HDA reads steps, workouts, active energy, sleep, mindful minutes and water for your score, and height, weight, age and sex to set up your profile. It writes back only the water and sleep you log in the app and the guided meditations you finish in it. Apple Health is optional, but without it most habits will stay at zero.
Why is my score what it is?
Your score is the average of three rings, times 100, rounded:
Orange ring: steps toward 10,000 and workout toward 60 minutes, averaged.
Blue ring: meditation toward 60 minutes, sleep toward 8 hours and water toward 4 litres, averaged.
Green ring: to-dos done toward 3.
Each habit counts up to its target and no further, so going over on one habit cannot make up for another. Only today counts: today's totals from Apple Health and the to-dos planned for today. Water you never log counts as zero. Example: 5,000 steps, a 30-minute workout, 15 minutes of meditation, 7 hours of sleep, no water and 2 to-dos done gives a score of 51.
Why doesn't my meditation or workout count?
Meditation counts only from timed sessions: the guided timer in HDA, the Apple Watch app, or another app's timed session. Workouts count only from tracked workouts, for example from Apple Watch, Fitness or another workout app. Entries typed into the Health app by hand are ignored, so the score stays honest.
What notifications does the app send?
Two kinds. A short morning reminder at 10:30 AM to plan your day, and fight notifications: a challenge, an answer, the other side's ticks, an objection or a ruling. They never show your score or who is winning.
Turn the morning reminder off in the app under Settings, Notifications. To stop all notifications, go to iPhone Settings, Notifications, Human Design Academy.
Do I need the calendar or a Gemini key?
No, both are optional. The calendar lets HDA show your day and add your to-dos to it. It stays on your iPhone, and one switch in Settings turns it off.
The AI agent plans your notes with Google Gemini using your own API key, which you can add in Settings, Your agent, Brain. The key is stored in your iPhone's Keychain. Everything else in the app works without it.
How do I delete my account?
Open Settings, scroll to Sign out, and tap Delete account under it. Confirm, and your account and everything kept for it on our server are removed for good. This cannot be undone.
What is on your iPhone stays there. To remove it too, delete the app.
Is there an Android app?
Not yet. An Android app is being built. It will use the same score and the same account, so you can keep your progress. We will announce it on humandesign.co.in.
