Not where they are — how they are.
Pulse brings a loved one's Apple Watch wellbeing — resting heart rate, sleep, activity rings — to your iPhone Lock Screen as one calm signal. They choose what to share. You glance, you exhale, you get on with your day.
Free for one person · updates roughly every 15–30 minutes · every reading shows its “as of” time
How it works
Pulse is two-sided by design — the person you care about runs Pulse too, and their signal only flows because they said yes. No spying, no surprises, nothing behind their back.
Send a link or read an 8-character code over the phone. Works however they're comfortable — you can even set it up together on a visit or a call.
Resting heart rate, sleep, activity — each one is a separate yes. They see exactly what you'll see, and they can pause or stop any of it, anytime.
A quiet card on your Lock Screen: their name, their rhythm, an honest “as of” time. Glance, exhale, carry on. No app to open, no feed to scroll.
Who it's for
Any relationship where distance and love overlap: a parent, a partner, a sibling, an old friend.
“Dad's rings filled in while I was at work. I glanced, I exhaled.”
The reassurance of a morning call, without making every call about checking up. He shares what he's comfortable with — and keeps his independence.
“Her night's sleep arrives with my morning coffee, three time zones away.”
Travel weeks and split schedules stop feeling like silence. One glance at your Lock Screen and the distance gets a little smaller.
“An ocean apart, and I still know my brother's okay before breakfast.”
The quiet proof-of-life that “you up?” texts never quite were. No timezone math, no waiting on a reply — just a calm signal that all is well.
Pair with the person you think about most — it costs nothing. When you're ready to watch over more of your circle, Pulse Plus opens up to five.
Requires iPhone. The person sharing needs an iPhone & Apple Watch.
