The smartest runners track their resting heart rate and HRV daily — not just their pace. Pulse Rate gives you those metrics using only your iPhone camera.
Runners live and die by recovery: the difference between a breakthrough block and an injury is often whether you ran hard on a day your body wanted easy. Pulse Rate gives runners a morning readiness read — HRV, resting heart rate and weekly training load — from the iPhone already in your kit, no watch required.
One 60-second reading. Pulse compares it to your 30-day baseline and tells you: go hard, go easy, or take the day.
Two-way sync writes Pulse readings into Apple Health and pulls your workouts back. No silos.
The same morning recovery signal a $30-a-month band sells you — HRV read against your own baseline — comes free from a 60-second iPhone reading.
Each morning Pulse reads your HRV and resting heart rate and compares them to your baseline. A suppressed HRV is a cue to keep the run easy; a strong reading is your green light for tempo or intervals.
Yes. Pulse sums your weekly TRIMP training load and charts it against your recovery, so you can manage a build without a GPS watch — just your iPhone and a daily reading.
For live pace and in-run heart rate, a watch or strap is convenient. Pulse focuses on the resting and recovery measurements around your runs, which is where overtraining is caught.
Yes. The morning reading and plain-language readiness score are just as useful for a first-time runner managing fatigue as for an experienced racer.
Pulse is free. Forever. No wearable, no card, no catch.
