What's new

Version 4.2 · May 2026

New

TRIMP weekly load

Pulse now scores your training-impulse from Apple Health workouts and flags weeks that are overcooking you.

Improved

Faster low-light readings

The PPG algorithm now locks onto your pulse in roughly 4 seconds — half the time of v4.1 — in dim morning light.

Fixed

Duplicate BP from Apple Health

Readings from Omron cuffs no longer show up twice in your trend. Thanks for the reports.

What you get

The whole heart, in your pocket.

60-second heart rate

Camera-based PPG. No straps, no rings, no batteries to charge.

HRV with RMSSD + SDNN

Two HRV metrics, one daily reading. ESC 2021-grade math.

AHA-staged BP log

Log cuff readings or sync from Apple Health. Classified by AHA 2017.

Apple Health, both ways

Reads workouts, RHR, BP, sleep. Writes back only what you allow.

My doctor asked which app I used.

Bought a cuff after my last physical and have been logging twice daily. Brought the PDF export to my follow-up and my GP said it was the cleanest tracking she'd seen all month.

I dropped my Whoop subscription.

Ran the comparison for two months. HRV trends matched within 4ms. Pulse caught a recovery dip a week before I got the flu. No charging, no strap rash, no $30/month. Done.

Wish it worked on Android.

The wellness coaching is the best I've used. Just bought an iPhone partly so my partner could install this. Take that as a five-star review and a four-star nudge to expand.

Calm and clinical, not anxious.

I have white-coat anxiety and most health apps make it worse with red alerts and streaks. Pulse just shows me the trend and reads like a calm coach. My RHR has dropped 8 bpm since I started.

From the developer

Auxility builds calm health tools.

We make health apps for the parts of your day you'd rather not think about. No streaks. No nags. No "your score is down 14% today" anxiety bait. Pulse is one of three apps in our suite — all share the same principle: show you the truth, give you a calm read of it, and stay out of the way.
