Features
Read full description

Pulse is a focused, no-fuss manual tap-tempo heart rate meter for athletes, trainers, and anyone curious about their cardio numbers โ€” no chest strap, no watch, no account. Just tap a big heart in time with your pulse. Pulse reads the median of your taps, ignores outliers, and instantly tells you the BPM plus your current training zone. KEY FEATURES โ€ข Big-button tap pad with springy haptic-style animation โ€ข Sample-clean BPM calculation using a 6-tap median window โ€ข Six standard training zones: Rest, Recovery, Aerobic, Threshold, Anaerobic, Max โ€ข Personal Max HR computed from your age (220 โˆ’ age) โ€ข Reading log with mood tagging (Rest, Exercise, Cooldown, Anxious) and a free-form note โ€ข Mini chart of your last 30 readings on the Log tab โ€ข Zones tab shows BPM range, color, and training advice for each zone โ€ข Live zone highlight on the Zones tab as your current BPM falls into a band โ€ข Clean dark interface tuned for gym lighting and outdoor sun PRIVACY FIRST No tracking. No accounts. No network. No HealthKit. Your readings stay on your device โ€” clearing the app removes them. DESIGNED FOR REAL USE Whether you are checking your resting rate after waking, dialing in an aerobic warm-up, or seeing how fast you can recover after intervals, Pulse stays out of the way and just gives you a number you can trust. NOT MEDICAL ADVICE Pulse is a personal wellness tool for general reference only. It is not a heart-rate monitor and does not diagnose, treat, or monitor any medical condition. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional about heart-rate or cardiovascular concerns.
