Tried every diet and nothing sticks? Most of us misjudge how much we eat. PULSE makes counting take seconds: snap your plate or say what you ate, and see where you stand.
Tried diet after diet and nothing works? It's usually not your willpower, and it's rarely your genes alone. Most of us simply misjudge how much we eat.
When researchers measured it, people who said they couldn't lose weight on very little food had under-reported what they ate by 47% (New England Journal of Medicine, 1992). In a study of nearly 1,700 people, those who kept a daily food record lost twice as much weight as those who kept none (American Journal of Preventive Medicine, 2008). And logging often mattered more than how long it took (Obesity journal, 2019).
PULSE makes it take seconds: snap your plate or say what you ate, and see where you stand against targets set for your goal, whether that's losing fat or building muscle. And it plans your training too, for any sport you name.
EAT
- Snap a meal: PULSE finds each food on the plate and estimates the amount. Change any amount before you log it.
- Say what you ate, search nearly 12,000 everyday foods, or scan a barcode.
- Chef suggests one meal from what's in your kitchen that fits the rest of your day.
- Calories, protein, carbs and fat against your targets, with Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets.
TRAIN FOR ANY SPORT YOU NAME
Tell PULSE your sport, your level and the days you can train. Seconds later your week is ready: sessions for your sport and strength work that supports it. Pick a common sport, like running, BJJ, powerlifting or soccer, or type your own, and add up to two more.
- Every exercise with its sets, reps and rest, and a video for most moves, at half speed or full screen.
- Log a set with one tap. Weights and reps fill in from last time.
- The rest timer follows you to the Lock Screen and the Dynamic Island.
- Finish and see your session drawn as a pulse, with your new bests.
A PLAN THAT MOVES WITH YOU
- Can't train Thursday? Mark it, and the session moves to your next free day, for this week only.
- Swap two days or rest today, and undo any change.
- Count weeks on plan, not days. Rest days never break your run, and a missed session can be made up early the next week.
PROGRESS
- Lifting history with your best sets and estimated 1RM.
- Nutrition averages by week, month or all time.
- Weight trend and body measurements, with no body-shape targets.
- 14 milestone cards, each drawn from the training that earned it.
ASK COACH
Coach knows your sport, your goal, your plan and your day. Ask what to change, where something is in the app, or what to eat after training.
MADE YOURS
- Five languages: English, Arabic, Spanish, French and Indonesian, with Arabic right to left.
- Eight themes.
- Apple Health: save finished workouts, and bring in your steps and latest weight.
PRIVATE BY DEFAULT
No account needed. Your plan and data stay on your iPhone unless you turn on backup with Apple or Google. Building plans, Coach, Chef, meal scan and voice log send only what they need to our AI provider, and PULSE never keeps your meal photos or the words you say. No ads, no tracking, and your data is never sold.
PULSE is free. It's for general fitness and nutrition, not medical advice. Talk to a doctor before starting a new training or eating plan.
