Sominus: Pulse Alarm & Pause

A heart-rate alarm and media-pause app for your Wear OS watch and Android phone. Sominus pauses what you're watching when your heart rate drops to the level you set.
Not a safety or medical device. If you feel drowsy, stop and rest.

Two modes: Media Mode can pause what you're watching. Drive Mode sounds an alarm on your watch.

MEDIA MODE — Your show can wait
When your heart rate drops to the level you set, Sominus can pause what you're watching on your phone, a Bluetooth-connected TV, or your PC, so you can pick up where you left off. Not a timer. It responds to your heart rate.

DRIVE MODE — A heart-rate alarm, not a substitute for rest
When your heart rate drops to the warning level you choose, your watch vibrates and sounds an alarm. Set your own warning and alarm levels, with sound and vibration. An extra nudge, never a reason to keep driving.
Sominus is not a safety device. It can't prevent sleep and no alert is guaranteed. If you feel drowsy, stop and rest.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Wear it. Sominus uses your Wear OS watch's heart-rate sensor, or a standard Bluetooth heart-rate sensor (such as a chest strap) paired with your phone.
2. Connect it. Choose what gets paused: this phone, your TV or your PC.
3. Pick a mode. Choose Media Mode or Drive Mode, set your level, and Sominus can pause or alert when your heart rate reaches it.

YOUR DATA

Your heart rate is processed on your own watch and phone. Sominus has no servers, no account and no analytics, and your heart rate is never sent to the developer. Watch-to-phone streaming uses Google's Wear OS connection, which may pass data through Google's servers; Google says data sent through its cloud is end-to-end encrypted. See the privacy policy.

REQUIREMENTS

• A Wear OS watch with a heart-rate sensor, or a standard Bluetooth heart-rate sensor paired with your phone
• Drive Mode's alarm is on your Wear OS watch
• Pausing works with most apps that accept a standard pause command
• TV pausing needs a TV you can connect to your phone by Bluetooth. Not every TV supports it, so try it during the 7-day free trial.
• PC pausing needs Sominus Desktop, a free helper for Windows 10 and 11, with your PC and phone on the same Wi-Fi.

PLEASE NOTE

Sominus is a convenience and wellness aid, not a safety device. It cannot prevent sleep, and no alert or pause is guaranteed: heart-rate readings vary from person to person and depend on your watch or sensor and how it's worn. Do not rely on it to drive while tired. If you feel drowsy, stop and rest.
Sominus is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition. For medical advice, diagnosis or treatment, consult a healthcare professional.
