Pulse: Health Insights

Pulse turns the data your iPhone and Apple Watch already collect into something you can actually use: a calm, plain-English brief about how your body is doing today.

Most health apps show you charts. Pulse explains them.

— What Pulse does —

THE DAILY BRIEF Open the app and read a short, thoughtful summary of where your body is right now. How you slept. How recovered you are. What today might call for. Written in language you'd hear from a knowledgeable friend, not a clinician.

THE DASHBOARD Every metric you'd want at a glance — sleep, HRV, resting heart rate, steps, active energy, exercise minutes, VO₂ Max, blood oxygen, respiratory rate, wrist temperature, walking heart rate, heart rate recovery, weight, body fat, mindful minutes — pulled from Apple Health into a calm, scannable layout.

THE TRENDS See how each metric has moved over the last 7, 30, or 90 days. Long-press to inspect any point in time. Average lines show you what's normal for you, not for a population.

THE WIDGET AND COMPLICATIONS Today's brief on your home screen. Today's brief on your watch face. Glanceable, not nagging.

— What Pulse does NOT do —

▸ It doesn't ask you to log anything. Pulse only reads what your devices already know. ▸ It doesn't send your data anywhere. All AI runs on-device using Apple Intelligence. ▸ It doesn't try to coach you. No prescriptive workout plans, no nutrition rules, no streaks to break.

— Why on-device matters —

Your health data is the most personal information you have. Pulse never sends it to a server. The AI that writes your brief runs entirely on your iPhone using Apple's Foundation Models framework. No account, no cloud, no third parties.

— What you need —

▸ iPhone with iOS 26 or later ▸ Apple Watch (recommended, for richest data) ▸ About two weeks of usage data so Pulse can establish your baseline

— Honest expectations —

Pulse is a wellness companion. It is not a medical device. It does not diagnose conditions or replace healthcare professionals. If something in your data concerns you, talk to a doctor.

Pulse is built by an independent developer, not a venture-backed startup. There are no growth hacks, no notifications designed to pull you back in, and no plans to sell, share, or monetize your data. Ever.

If Pulse helps you understand your body a little better, it's working.
