Pulse Notes: Heart Rate
No Ads. Just Your Pulse.
Free · In‑App Purchases
Free, no ads, no sign-up. Check your heart rate in 20 seconds with your fingertip. Export your records to share with your doctor or move them to a new phone.
Measure your heart rate in 20 seconds. Free, clean and ad-free. No watch, no sign-up. You only need your fingertip and the camera on your iPhone or iPad.
HOW IT WORKS
Rest your fingertip on the flash and the lens next to it. Each heartbeat slightly changes the color of your fingertip. Pulse Notes reads these tiny changes and works out your pulse in beats per minute.

IMPORTANT: NOT A MEDICAL DEVICE
• Pulse Notes is for general wellness and reference only. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
• Readings can be inaccurate. Movement, finger pressure, cold hands and lighting all affect the result.
• A normal reading does not mean your heart is healthy. The app cannot detect heart attacks or irregular heart rhythms such as atrial fibrillation.
• Never start, stop or change any treatment or medication based on this app. Always talk to your doctor.
• If you have chest pain, trouble breathing, fainting or severe dizziness, call your local emergency number right away. Do not use this app in an emergency.
