About GlowPulse: Heart Rate Monitor
GlowPulse turns your iPhone's front camera into a real-time heart rate sensor. No wearables, no chest straps, no accounts — just hold your phone up and watch your pulse update live. Using remote photoplethysmography (rPPG), GlowPulse reads the microscopic color changes in your face caused by blood flow and turns them into a clean BPM signal. Everything runs on-device. Camera frames are never recorded and never leave your iPhone. No cloud, no sign-up, no analytics, no trackers. WHAT IT DOES • Live heart rate from your face, updated every second • HRV (Heart Rate Variability) during breathing sessions • Heart-rate trend graph — up to an hour of your pulse • Color-coded HR zones (Resting / Normal / Elevated / High) • A personal baseline that auto-adapts as you use the app • Optional Apple Health export (heart rate + HRV) FOCUS SESSION Pomodoro-style sessions of 15, 25, or 50 minutes (or custom). GlowPulse tracks your heart rate throughout and shows a live, zone-colored chart. Afterwards you get a summary: average, peak, and low BPM. BREATHING SESSION A guided pacer at 5 seconds in / 5 seconds out (0.1 Hz coherent breathing). GlowPulse shows your HRV in real time, so you can watch your body relax as you breathe. QUICK CHECK A 30-second stress snapshot. GlowPulse compares your current pulse to your personal baseline and gives a verdict: Calm / Neutral / Slightly elevated / Elevated. PRIVACY-FIRST BY DESIGN • 100% on-device — video and readings never leave your iPhone • No account, no sign-up, no email • No analytics, no third-party SDKs, no trackers • Camera only (plus Apple Health, if you turn it on) FREE & PREMIUM GlowPulse is free to try in full for 3 days. After that you keep 3 free heart-rate readings every day (up to an hour each), and Premium unlocks unlimited readings, the guided sessions, HRV, the trend graph, and Apple Health export. Get Premium with a yearly subscription or a one-time Lifetime purchase. REQUIREMENTS • iPhone with a front camera • Best results: good lighting, hold the phone steady at face level, bare skin (no heavy makeup) NOT A MEDICAL DEVICE GlowPulse provides wellness estimates only and is not a medical device. It is not certified for clinical, diagnostic, or therapeutic use. If you think you may have a heart condition, see a doctor. — GlowPulse Premium (annual) is an auto-renewable subscription (US$4.99/year).
