## What is HeartPeace?

HeartPeace helps you to meditate by providing real-time feedback about your inner peace.

The feedback is provided by measuring your cardiac coherence using heart rate variability analysis algorithms that determine your parasympathetic vs sympathetic nervous system activation. Therefore, a heart rate monitor is required.

You can use the back camera as a heart rate monitor but it's recommended to use a BLE heart rate monitor because they are more accurate, allow more freedom of movement, work while the screen is turned off and consume less battery. More info about compatible monitors in settings.

The feedback is given by displaying an animation that resembles your inner state. The more inner peace, the bigger, slower, and blueish the animation will be.

Feedback is also presented using sounds so headphones are recommended, if you have low inner peace you will hear a crowd sound but if your inner peace is high you will hear monks meditating and deep sounds.

To better focus on breathing is advised to sit down, use headphones, and close your eyes to minimize distractions.

The app has option to integrate with the Health app by storing sessions as mindfulness sessions.

Note: 
——————————————————

You can select in preferences the back camera to measure heart rate from your finger. Place your finger gently over the back camera and flash and try not to move it much.

Although the camera heart rate monitor works fine it's recommended to use a BLE heart rate monitor because it's more accurate, allows more freedom of movement, consumes less battery, and works while the screen is turned off.

Only heart rate monitors that accurately measure R-R intervals and have Bluetooth 4.0 (BLE) are supported.

### 5/5 — Great app, doesn’t seem to be supported anymore

*2026-02-10*

Truly a masterpiece of design and function. Steve Jobs would have been impressed.

Bought the premium version and had to reinstall everything and now the premium features don’t work. Website is down.

### 5/5 — Loved it

*2025-07-23*

Use Hrv number to decide when to rest…great tool

### 5/5 — Hervorragend!

*2024-05-25*

Eine wunderbare App, um das Herzkohärente Atmen zu trainieren! Der Preis um den ganzen Umfang der App freizuschalten ist mehr als gerechtfertigt, vor allem wenn man sieht, wie in diesem Segment sonst abgezockt wird! 
Der zweite Bildschirm, welcher die entsprechenden Daten in Zahlen und Linien darstellt, ist für mich noch hilfreicher als die grafische Darstellung.

### 3/5 — Evidence?

*2024-05-03*

Instead of HRV It uses something called a HeartPeace score, which seems to be proprietary and undocumented. Apparently based on how your heart rate matches deep breathing. If there were some documented evidence of its usefulness I would be more satisfied with it.

### 1/5 — Woah that was intense!

*2024-04-16*

I don’t know what just happened, but this id the first negative reaction Ive had to biofeedback. 2 minutes of “high heart peace” just triggered the craziest low frequency metallic ringing sound in my head, and anxiety! Luckily it wore off after 20mins and some 4-7-8 breathing… but man oh man, I dunno if this thing is working the way its meant to! Im sticking with Breathtuner, heartbreath and VaYou

### 5/5 — I love this. This is my favourite app

*2024-02-11*

Please continue developing this app for new versions of IOS. This is my favourite app

### 5/5 — Finding peace with help of this app

*2024-01-03*

Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work as well with iPhone 15 Pro as it did with iPhone X using finger. I tried and tried, and will have to wait til I'm home with my HRM strap to try that instead. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Great

*2023-10-17*

Love it. More fun than hrv breathing apps

### 5/5 — Best HRV app

*2023-08-15, version 2.9*

Great app as it measures HRV but therapeutic as well!!

### 4/5 — So cool!

*2023-06-23*

Will definitely help w meditation practice

## Frequently asked questions about HeartPeace

### What does the HeartPeace app do?

HeartPeace guides meditation by providing real-time feedback on your inner peace. It measures cardiac coherence using heart rate variability (HRV) analysis to assess your nervous system activation. This feedback is presented through visual animations and sounds to help you focus on your breathing and achieve a state of calm.

### How does the app measure heart rate?

The app can use your phone's back camera and flash to measure heart rate by placing your finger over them. However, it strongly recommends using a compatible BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) heart rate monitor for more accurate readings, greater freedom of movement, and better battery efficiency, especially when the screen is off.

### What kind of heart rate monitors are compatible?

The app supports BLE heart rate monitors that accurately measure R-R intervals and have Bluetooth 4.0. Examples of compatible monitors include Polar H7, H9, H10, CooSpo H6, and Wahoo TICKR. It explicitly lists incompatible devices like Apple Watch and various other armbands and chest straps.

### Is the app free to use?

The application is available for free, but it offers in-app purchases. While the core functionality of guided meditation with biofeedback is accessible, certain features or advanced options may require a purchase.

### How does the feedback system work?

The app provides feedback through a visual animation that changes in size, speed, and color based on your inner peace. Additionally, auditory feedback is delivered through sounds, with calming monk chants and deep sounds indicating high inner peace, and crowd sounds suggesting lower inner peace. Headphones are recommended for an immersive experience.
