Keep your favorite workout app. PULSALARM alerts you on your Apple Watch, even in the background. Set your own heart rate limits from 30 to 220 BPM.
#PULSALARM: Your Heart Rate. Your Limits.
Keep your favorite training app. Let PULSALARM watch your heart rate.
PULSALARM turns your Apple Watch into a heart rate monitor with customizable alerts. Whenever your heart rate reaches a predefined upper or lower limit, you'll be notified by vibration and/or sound.
What makes PULSALARM special? It also works in the background while you continue using your favorite running, fitness, or workout app.
KEEP YOUR FAVORITE TRAINING APP
Continue training with your preferred fitness or running app while benefiting from PULSALARM's heart rate alerts.
While your usual app records your workout data, PULSALARM notifies you whenever your heart rate reaches one of your selected limits. Alerts continue to work even when another training app is running in the foreground.
YOUR HEART RATE. YOUR LIMITS.
Whether you're exercising or going about your daily activities, PULSALARM helps you keep track of your heart rate based on your personal limits.
- Individually adjustable upper and lower heart rate limits from 30 to 220 BPM
- Upper and lower limits can be adjusted or disabled independently
- Vibration and/or sound alerts when your heart rate reaches a set limit
- Notifications when your heart rate returns to your desired range
- Choose between one-time or repeated alerts
You decide exactly when your Apple Watch should notify you about your heart rate.
NO ADDITIONAL WORKOUT APP REQUIRED
PULSALARM can enable regular heart rate measurements directly on your Apple Watch without requiring another fitness or training app to run simultaneously.
This allows you to use your personalized heart rate limits both during workouts and throughout everyday activities.
FEEL THE ALERT. NO NEED TO KEEP LOOKING.
Focus on your activity instead of constantly checking your Apple Watch display.
PULSALARM alerts you through vibration and/or sound whenever your heart rate leaves or returns to your desired range.
