## Description

Simple Pulse checks your heart rate with nothing but your phone. Cover the rear camera and flash with a fingertip, keep still, and about 35 seconds later you have your heart rate.<br><br>How it works<br>Each heartbeat pushes a little more blood into your fingertip, which changes its colour very slightly. Simple Pulse watches those changes through the camera, with the flash as a steady light, and turns them into beats per minute.<br><br>What you get<br>• Your heart rate in about 35 seconds, with the lowest and highest values of the reading<br>• Live feedback while measuring: a pulse wave, and hints if your finger moves or light leaks in<br>• A short vibration when the reading ends, so you know without looking<br>• Save a measurement with tags (after coffee, after exercise, resting…) and a note<br>• History of your saved measurements; edit tags and notes later, swipe to delete<br>• Light and dark themes<br><br>Private by design<br>Your measurements stay on your phone. They&#39;re never uploaded, and never seen by the ads in the app. There&#39;s no account to create. Export your measurements as a CSV file whenever you like.<br><br>Good to know<br>• Simple Pulse estimates your heart rate. It isn&#39;t a medical device and isn&#39;t meant to diagnose or treat any condition. If you&#39;re worried about your heart, talk to a doctor.<br>• Works best sitting down, relaxed and still, with your hand resting on a table.<br>• Needs a phone with a rear camera and flash.<br>• Contains ads (small ads in History only; never during a measurement).
