Cue vs Vitals Sync

Cue is a quiet, passive grounding companion for your wrist and ears. When your Apple Watch notices a spike in heart rate or a drop in heart rate variability — the kind your body throws when anxiety is starting to climb — Cue plays a brief grounding cue through your AirPods. No buttons. No journaling. No streaks. Just a 30-second sensory reset, the moment your nervous system asks for one. Most mindfulness apps wait for you to remember. Cue notices first. WHAT IT DOES • Reads heart rate, heart rate variability, and respiratory rate from Apple Watch (HealthKit, on-device only) • Learns your resting baseline over the first week • Triggers when your physiology drifts above your own normal — not a generic threshold • Plays one of six grounding cues through AirPods, drawn from established techniques: sensory anchoring, breath pacing, somatic noting, body presence, cognitive reset, and self-compassion • Falls back to a silent haptic + glanceable card if you don't have headphones in PASSIVE BY DESIGN You shouldn't have to know you're spiralling for the app to help. Cue runs in the background and only speaks when your body says you're activated. Maximum one cue every thirty minutes, five per day — never alarming, never demanding. SCRIPTED BY A PRACTITIONER Cue is built by an experienced meditator and mindfulness practitioner. Each cue is fifteen to forty-five seconds long with contemplative pacing, drawing on evidence-informed grounding methods: 5-4-3-2-1 sensory anchoring, physiological sigh breathing, somatic noting (Polyvagal-informed), Somatic Experiencing orienting, cognitive-attentional reset, and Neff-style self-compassion. ON-DEVICE, FULL STOP Heart rate, HRV, and respiratory data never leave your iPhone or Apple Watch. There's no account. No sync. No cloud analytics. No third-party SDKs. Even the cue audio is bundled with the app — Cue works on aeroplane mode. SUBSCRIPTION $4.99/month or $34.99/year. The 7-day free trial is also your baseline calibration — Cue won't trigger anything until it has learned your normal. A MINDFULNESS COMPANION, NOT A MEDICAL DEVICE Cue is a wellness tool. It does not diagnose, treat, or replace mental health care. If you're in crisis, please call your local crisis line.

Vitals Sync imports four metrics your Garmin records but does not send to the Health app: HRV, Respiration, SpO₂, and VO₂ Max. Everything runs on your device. You sign in with your Garmin Connect account. The app reads the data your Garmin watch already recorded and writes it to the Health app on your iPhone. Most syncing tools cover only HRV. Vitals Sync does all four. WHAT YOU NEED • A Garmin Connect account • A Garmin watch that records these metrics, like the Forerunner, Fenix, Venu, vívoactive, Instinct, Epix, or Enduro series, and more WHAT IT SYNCS • Heart Rate Variability (HRV) • Respiration rate • Blood oxygen (SpO₂) • VO₂ Max FEATURES • Automatic background sync • No duplicates. Every reading is written once. • Your password is not stored. Only secure tokens, kept in the iOS Keychain on your device. • No account for this app, no tracking, no analytics, no servers PRIVACY Vitals Sync has no backend. It talks directly from your iPhone to your own Garmin account and to the Health app. We never see, collect, or store your data.
