Pauser: Stress & Heart Rate
Alerts, context and calm
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS.
Patterns view and shareable reports. Find your why. Take a pause. Works with Apple Watch.
YOUR APPLE WATCH TELLS YOU YOUR HEART RATE SPIKED. PAUSER HELPS YOU UNDERSTAND WHY.
Most heart rate apps stop at the number. Pauser connects it to your day. When your heart rate crosses your chosen range, Pauser alerts you; you tag what was happening (the meeting, the poor sleep, the salty meal, the longtime standing), and you take a guided pause while you watch your heart rate settle on a live graph. Over weeks, your tags build a personal map of what tends to come before your spikes.
Find your why. Take a pause.
WORKS WITH APPLE WATCH
Pauser reads your heart rate from your paired Apple Watch through Apple Health. Setup takes about two minutes: allow Apple Health access, set your range, and you’re done. Pauser reads your data; it never changes any watch settings. Keep recording even when your iPhone isn’t nearby, and your data syncs when it reconnects.
HOW IT WORKS: MONITOR, LINK, PAUSE
Monitor: continuous heart rate tracking from your Apple Watch, quietly in the background.
Link: when an alert fires, add a quick tag or note. Your calendar, steps, sleep, mood, water, salt and medication logs can sit alongside it, so every alert keeps its context.
Pause: a guided breathing session, from a 30-second Quick Calm to longer routines, with your heart rate on screen so you can see the effect.
HEART RATE ALERTS YOU CONTROL
Set a low and high threshold (defaults 50 and 90 bpm, fully adjustable). Get a gentle nudge when you cross it. Wellness prompts, not medical alerts.
TRIGGER TRACKER
Log the moments around each alert with tags you choose. Pauser stores what you record and show it back to you as patterns over days and weeks. You stay in charge of what gets logged and what it means.
PATTERNS AND INSIGHTS
Place any two data streams side by side: heart rate next to meetings, steps, sleep, mood, screen time, water, salt, medication or blood pressure entries. Weekly summaries show your alerts, pauses, and most-used tags at a glance.
BREATHE AND MEDITATE
Guided breathing for focus, calm, and sleep. Quick Calm for a 30-second reset. Customized breathing to build your own rhythm. Short meditations for loud days.
HEART MONITORING SESSIONS
Start a live recording for a meeting, a walk, a workout, or a sit-and-stand check, then review the curve.
BIO VITALS AND DAILY LOGS
Quick entries for blood pressure, SpO2, water and salt intake, symptoms and medication, kept alongside your heart rate so your history stays in one place.
SHAREABLE REPORTS
Turn weeks of heart rate, alerts, tags and pauses into a clean PDF. Bring it to a doctor, therapist, or coach so the conversation starts from your real days.
FOR POTS, DYSAUTONOMIA AND ORTHOSTATIC INTOLERANCE
If standing up sends your heart racing, Pauser supports the daily routine many people with POTS follow: a guided sit-and-stand check with your heart rate recorded in both positions, water and salt logging, symptom notes, POTS alerts you set yourself, and reports you can share with your care team. Pauser is a companion for self-tracking. It does not replace medical care.
FOR EVERYDAY STRESS, ANXIETY AND BURNOUT
If your body reacts before your mind catches up, Pauser helps you notice the moment, name what was around it and pause. Awareness first. Calm follows.
PRIVACY
Your heart rate and logs stay in your account. You choose what to tag, what to share, and with whom to share.
Pauser is a wellbeing and self-awareness app that supports self-tracking. It is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical conditions.
