## What is Heart Rate BLE?

See your live heart rate, straight from your Bluetooth sensor.

Heart Rate BLE connects to any standard Bluetooth LE heart-rate sensor — chest straps, armbands, or a sports watch broadcasting heart rate (such as Garmin's Broadcast Heart Rate mode) — and shows your pulse in real time.

LIVE HEART RATE
• Big, readable beats-per-minute display with a heart that pulses at your actual heart rate
• Signal awareness at a glance: know immediately when the sensor stops broadcasting or loses contact
• Automatic reconnection when the link drops

LIVE ACTIVITY & WIDGET
• Follow your heart rate from the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island with Live Activities
• Add a home-screen widget to keep your latest reading in view

SIMPLE BY DESIGN
• No account, no ads, no tracking — your heart rate never leaves your device
• Works with the standard Bluetooth Heart Rate profile (GATT Heart Rate Service)
• Built-in demo mode: explore the whole app with virtual sensors before pairing real hardware

Pair it with a chest strap for the workout, or with your watch's broadcast mode to see your pulse on a bigger screen.
