VERSION 2.4 - COMPLETELY REBUILT FROM THE GROUND UP
Everything that was premium is now FREE.
HeartSafeAlerts 2.4 is a complete reimagining of heart rate monitoring on iPhone. We tore down the
old app and rebuilt it with one mission: make professional-grade heart monitoring accessible to
everyone who needs it.
No subscriptions. No paywalls. No limits. Just powerful, reliable heart rate monitoring - completely
free.
THE FREE REVOLUTION
Version 1 had premium features. Version 2 has ZERO premium features. We made a choice: accessibility
over profit. Now everyone - athletes, seniors, people with heart conditions, fitness enthusiasts -
gets the same powerful features, free forever.

⏺ What's New in HeartSafeAlerts 2.4
• Stronger Vibration Alerts — Vibration-only alerts now use a distinctive double-buzz pattern that's impossible to miss, even in
noisy environments
• Improved Alert Reliability — Background notifications now work more consistently when your phone is locked or the app is in the
background
• Streamlined Experience — Simplified settings for a cleaner, more intuitive interface
• Enhanced Bluetooth Performance — Optimized for faster, more stable connections with your heart rate monitor
• Apple Watch source temporarily removed — We discovered Apple Watch data syncs too infrequently for reliable real-time alerts. A
dedicated watchOS companion app is in development to deliver the instant monitoring you deserve.
Perfect For:
- Cardiac patients monitoring recovery

- Anyone who needs reliable heart rate alerts
Works with any Bluetooth heart rate monitor (chest straps, arm bands, and more).
