## What is WhyExcited?

DISCOVER WHAT MAKES YOUR HEART RACE

Your Apple Watch already knows when your heart races. WhyExcited tells you why. Every time your heart rate spikes your Watch catches it and asks one simple question — what were you doing? One tap to log a meeting a song a moment of panic or a rush of joy.

WHY USE WHYEXCITED

Most heart rate apps show you numbers. WhyExcited shows you stories. Each spike becomes a timestamped entry in your personal health journal — what you felt why it happened and what you can change. Over weeks patterns emerge and your body finally starts making sense.

ONE TAP LOGGING Log the cause of any spike in seconds. Choose from your most common triggers or type a custom note. The less friction the more honest your data.

PATTERN INSIGHTS See which situations consistently spike your heart rate. Morning meetings late night anxiety a certain song a certain person. Your data tells the story.

APPLE WATCH NATIVE Built from the ground up for Apple Watch. Complication support lets you see your latest spike at a glance right from your watch face.
