About

Pulse Burnout

Features

Pulse predicts burnout before you feel it. Most burnout warnings arrive too late — after the bad week, the blowup, the crash. Pulse reads the quieter signals your body and behavior send days earlier, and turns them into one number you can act on. WHAT PULSE DOES A daily 0–100 risk score, from Steady to Critical. A 7-day forecast with a confidence band — see where you're heading, not just where you are. The top signals driving your risk today, ranked. One clear action to take next, plus the week's biggest drivers. A full history timeline you can drill into, day by day. 14 SIGNALS, ONE SCORE Pulse fuses your data into a single, comprehensive overview: Sleep: Duration, efficiency, and timing. Heart Metrics: HRV and resting heart rate. Habits: Activity, screen time, late-night use, and work hours. Mindset: Mindful minutes and a 30-second daily check-in for mood, stress, and energy. BUILT AROUND YOU There's no generic "normal." Pulse learns your personal baseline over your first week, then measures every day against your own history. A good night or a hard week is judged against you, not a population average. 30 SECONDS A DAY Connect Apple Health once and answer three quick questions a day. Pulse does the rest in the background and keeps a home-screen widget current. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything stays on this iPhone. No account. No cloud sync. No analytics. No data leaves your device — ever. Pulse is an early-warning tool for wellbeing, not a medical device, and does not diagnose or treat any condition.
