About

Pulse AI

Photograph any meal — or scan the barcode — and get an instant read on what actually drives heart risk: saturated fat, trans fat and sugar. Every meal gets an A–E Heart Grade, and Pulse names the nutrient that earned it. • Snap a meal — point the camera, that's the whole log • Scan a barcode — reads the manufacturer's real label instead of guessing • Heart Grade A–E — with the reason behind the grade, not just a letter • Heart-first — saturated fat, trans fat and sugar, not just calories • Cooking method — pan-fried in butter is not the same meal as grilled • Processing level — from whole foods through to ultra-processed • Honest about gaps — if a label never declared its sugar, Pulse says "not declared" rather than counting it as zero • Fiber and sodium tracked too, both feeding your Heart Grade • Daily heart score — one number for the day, against your own limits • Trends — see your fats and sugar week over week • Widgets & Live Activity — your score on the Home and Lock Screen • Private by design — your data stays on your device, no account required Pulse AI is free to use. Photo and barcode meal analysis requires a Pulse Pro subscription: $3.99/week, or $29.99/year with a 3-day free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period; manage or cancel in your Apple Account settings. Pulse AI is a general wellness app. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. Estimates are approximate. Always consult a qualified professional before changing your diet or treatment. Terms: https://viralappbrewery.org/terms Privacy: https://viralappbrewery.org/privacy-policy
