Pulse is a breathing and meditation app that helps you to fall asleep faster and have a more relaxed sleep. With the help of guided relaxation and a calming breath visualisation, you can simply doze off into a warm and comfy sleep within sixty seconds. It can even help to prevent cardiovascular problems. Stress at work, school or uni? Stressed at home? Use the relaxation-program (used by military groups to reduce stress in battlefield situations) to release the natural sedatives of the body and become laser-focused again within a minute. Pulse features... - Calming and satisfying breath visualisation - An eye-caring dark mode that enables itself in dark environments - Apple HealthKit-integration - Optional breathing reminders that help you build a habit out of relaxation What the media say... "Doze off into a warm and comfy sleep in only one minute. [...] "Pulse is optically pleasing - no unnecessary or distracting elements. Even the minimalistic and nicely balanced design supports relaxation, stress release and falling asleep."

Almost Perfect!

Screen/settings can be a little confusing. Overall love this app and IT WORKS. Would love to see minor interface improvements. And I don’t love the vibration when you finish the sleep breathing technique, seems counterintuitive and kind of wakes me back up. Also wish the sequence would go a little longer so I didn’t have to restart the session. Typically it only takes 2-3 sessions for me to wind down and drift off to sleep. I do love that it’s simple and easy to use. Definitely looking forward to any improvements!

Look up breathing techniques for relaxation and sleep. Find one that gives you deep breathing - inhale 10 sec and hold, exhale mouth same, then same with nose inhale, same exhale. Easier to learn that than to feel bad trying to use this inane app. You have to look at the screen. This app’s setup goes for only 25 seconds; not gonna fall asleep in 60 seconds that way. The sounds are almost inaudible. It says use headphones but I do not want those in my ears when I’m trying to sleep. As soon as the 25 seconds are up it tells me I have contributed toward some tally of everyone who has ever used the app or something. I DO NOT CARE. Why flash a message when I should be asleep or close to sleep? App did not state price before download. Hoping it’s not a subscription and really want a refund. I’m disappointed, angry, and anxious, and I can hear birds beginning to sing as dawn approaches.

The sleep function won’t run continuously for a minute on my iPhone X. If I’m gonna “fall asleep in 60 seconds” I’d have to restart the app a few times. After 20-25 seconds, I just start to get into it. Then it ends. Not just that- it asks if I want to share the app. NO. I don’t. Not then. If I fell asleep in 1/3 of a minute I guess it would be great. It’s timing is just off. It also says I’ve added almost 7 minutes of use to the collective. In reality, I was only able to do about 70 seconds altogether- but it was 70 seconds that was interrupted over & over. No good for sleep. What a drag. I really do like the whole approach. I just can’t give a better rating.

UPDATED returned to the original design

Update: the minimalist design and sleek functionality are back. I loved pulse for its minimalistic design. The new app is awful and looks ridiculous. I don’t need an ai to ask me what I need I just need a clean app that I can quickly pull up and use without going through a whole animation before I can start

Developer Response
Sorry for the inconvenience,we had acquisition negotiations and corporal restructuring processes which led to a redesign to the app. In this version, AI works in the background and the old design is 100% back.
