The Mindfield eSense App turns your iPhone and iPad, together with the eSense Biofeedback sensors, into a comprehensive solution for stress measurement, relaxation training and self-awareness - in daily life, in training and coaching settings, and in research. **What is Biofeedback?** Biofeedback makes unconscious body signals such as skin conductance, skin temperature, pulse, breathing or muscle tension visible in real time. With targeted training you learn to influence these signals consciously - a scientifically well-documented approach for stress reduction and overall wellbeing. **Five sensors for precise biofeedback:** 1. **eSense Skin Response**: measures skin conductance (EDA, GSR) as a direct stress indicator. 2. **eSense Temperature**: captures skin temperature for effective hand-warming training. 3. **eSense Pulse**: Bluetooth chest strap for accurate heart rate and heart rate variability (HRV) measurement. 4. **eSense Respiration**: breathing-belt add-on for the eSense Skin Response - captures breathing rate, depth and pattern. 5. **eSense Muscle**: measures muscle activity (EMG) for targeted relaxation and activation training. **Comprehensive app features:** - **Customisable breathing pacer** with breathing rate, hold times and resonance breathing - **Multimedia feedback** through video, music, sounds, vibration and Philips Hue Smart Bulbs - **Adjustable training programs (procedures)** for structured multi-step sessions - **Unlimited archive** with ZIP export, CSV/PDF data analysis and per-sensor data wipe for shared devices - **Real-time thresholds** for reactive video feedback (sharpness, brightness, colour) - **14 languages**, continuous updates, intuitive operation **Concrete use cases:** - Stress management and more recovery in everyday life - HRV training and resonance breathing for autonomic balance - Breathing exercises for mindfulness, sports and mental clarity - Hand-warming training to support circulation - Muscle relaxation for desk-bound tension - Focus and performance training **Cloud functions and eSense Web App:** - **Basic Plan**: cloud storage of measurements and access to the eSense Web App (esense.live) - **Premium Plan**: additional cloud storage of procedures, real-time streaming to the Web App and sharing of measurements - **Web App**: simultaneous display of multiple sensors - ideal for group supervision and professional use **OSC and LSL streaming (In-App Purchase, optional):** For researchers and power users: stream your eSense data in real time directly from the app. - **OSC (Open Sound Control)**: to receivers like Max/MSP, Pure Data, TouchDesigner, Processing - **LSL (Lab Streaming Layer)**: to LabRecorder, OpenViBE, MATLAB, BCI2000, pylsl and other LSL-compatible research tools Both protocols are bundled into a single In-App Purchase. **Who is the app for?** - **Individuals** who want to train stress, breathing and relaxation in a focused way - **Trainers and coaches** for structured training sessions, with a multi-user-friendly archive on shared devices - **Researchers and universities** for quantitative data collection with bridges to MATLAB, LabRecorder and custom LSL pipelines **Flexibility and mobility:** - Use at home, in a training or coaching setting, or on the go with iPhone or iPad - Integration into daily life for regular biofeedback training - Free app with continuous updates and fair value for high-precision biofeedback hardware **More information:** - Product overview and tutorials: mindfield-esense.com - Order sensors and accessories: mindfield-shop.com - FAQ & support: help.mindfield.de With precise sensors, a versatile app and cloud functions, biofeedback integrates seamlessly into daily life, training and research.

Yudemon HRV is a unique visual and sonic tool for resonance breathing and HRV biofeedback training. It provides a fun and engaging workout for your autonomic nervous system, helping you build stress resilience and enhanced self-regulation. You can either use the app as a basic breath timer, or connect an ECG-based heart rate monitor (like the Polar H10) via Bluetooth for full biofeedback and analytics. Unless you specifically opt-in to cloud sync, all data processing happens on your device, so your data is completely secure. Using Yudemon with a heart rate monitor not only allows you to track and visualise your data for each session, it also enables you to use Yudemon's Journey Mode, a novel and unique way of establishing your own optimal breathing rate over the course of multiple sessions. Yudemon's adjustable visuals and soundscapes offer infinite variations, making every breathing session feel fresh and engaging. By default, the app’s appearance automatically changes on a daily basis. Or, with Yudemon Pro, you can take full control and customize everything manually. A healthy heart does not beat like a metronome but constantly adapts to the requirements of the present moment. Heart rate variability (HRV) biofeedback training and resonance breathing are based on the fact that our breathing has a direct impact on the rest of our physiology. By controlling our breathing in specific ways we can train our body to become more adaptable and perform better under stress. Yudemon helps you with this practice. Yudemon HRV is the first breathing app with custom soundsapes and functional music specifically designed for resonance breathing and HRV biofeedback training. The soundscapes guide you in your breathing sessions and aim to enhance the effects of the practice. It also integrates other aspects of generative art, such as the "Heartwork", a unique piece of art based on your very own physiological data that is generated and grows with you as you complete more sessions. New visuals, soundscapes, and effects are added on a regular basis. Terms of Service: https://app.yudemon.com/terms Privacy Policy: https://app.yudemon.com/privacy

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Yudemon HRV at 92% against Mindfield eSense's 46%. Yudemon HRV also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs monthly) and ratings volume (13 vs 1). Mindfield eSense's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Mindfield eSense sells 19 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Yudemon HRV sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Mindfield eSense holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Yudemon HRV has 13 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of Mindfield eSense's written reviews are positive against 92% of Yudemon HRV's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Mindfield eSense ships an update monthly, Yudemon HRV every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
