HRM

See your nervous system respond to stillness.

Real-time heart rate biofeedback during meditation. AirPods Pro 3 capture every heartbeat — you watch your body downregulate in real time. No chest strap. No watch. Just breathe.

68 BPM

You meditate.
But do you know if it's working?

Most people meditate on faith. They sit, breathe, hope something changed. HRM closes the feedback loop — you see your heart rate drop in real time. Proof that stillness is doing something measurable to your nervous system.

Built for practitioners,
not beginners.

HRM isn't a meditation app. It's a measurement instrument for people who already have a practice and want objective data on what happens inside.

🧘

The Meditator

Daily practice, 1+ years

You sit every day. You've tried Headspace, Calm, Insight Timer — you don't need guided content anymore. What you want is evidence. Does today's session look different from yesterday's? HRM shows you.

📊

The Quantified Self

Data-driven optimizer

You track sleep, HRV, nutrition, training load. Meditation is the one practice you can't measure — until now. CSV export, session-by-session stats, trend tracking. Your meditation finally has data.

🌬

The Breathwork Practitioner

Wim Hof, pranayama, box breathing

Breathwork is nervous system training — and HR is the first signal that shifts. Watch your heart rate respond to inhale/exhale cycles. Real-time biofeedback for the techniques you already use.

Three steps.
Nothing more.

No accounts, no onboarding flows, no tutorials. Open the app. Sit. See what happened inside.

01

Set & Begin

Choose your duration — 5 to 60 minutes. Press begin. A 5-second warm-up lets you settle, then a bell marks the start. Optional interval bells keep you grounded without breaking the state.

02

Sit & Breathe

AirPods Pro 3 capture your heart rate every 5 seconds. Watch your BPM respond to stillness — or lock the screen and let it run silently in the background. The session continues either way.

03

Review & Track

Every session saved automatically. BPM chart over time, min/max/avg stats, readings count. Export to CSV for deeper analysis. Track your streak and watch your baseline shift over weeks.

Pure black. Giant numbers.
Nothing else.

No gradients, no illustrations, no decorative elements. Typography-driven interface that disappears so the practice can begin.

Built for depth,
not decoration.

Every feature exists because it makes the practice measurably better. Nothing ornamental.

AirPods Pro 3 Heart Rate

Clinical-grade optical sensor built into the earbuds you already own. No chest strap, no wrist device. Just wear your AirPods and sit — the app captures every heartbeat, no battery drain, no extra hardware.

Core sensor
🔒

Background Execution

Lock your screen. Put the phone down. HRM keeps running — heart rate capture, timer, and bells all continue. Your practice shouldn't need a screen.

🔔

Interval Bells + Haptics

Configurable dings — every 1, 2, 5, or 10 minutes. Each bell paired with haptic tap. Gentle anchoring without breaking the state.

📊

Session History

Every session stored locally. BPM chart, duration, readings count, avg/min/max. Swipe to delete. Your practice, documented.

Streaks & Stats

Consecutive days. Total sessions. Total minutes. Simple accountability without gamification noise.

You already own
the sensor.

AirPods Pro 3 include a clinical-grade optical heart rate sensor. No extra purchase. No extra device to charge. The most invisible biometric tool you can wear.

Apple Watch

Drains battery in minutes

Continuous heart rate polling kills the battery fast — we tested it, the Watch died within minutes of a session. Plus: bright screen on your wrist, notifications, the temptation to check the time. It measures your heart but pulls you out of meditation.

📏

Chest Strap

Uncomfortable

The gold standard for accuracy — but the wrong tool for stillness. Tight band around your ribs. Constant awareness of hardware on your body. The opposite of letting go.

Heart rate is a window
into autonomic regulation.

Decades of research connect resting heart rate and heart rate variability to parasympathetic function — the body's ability to downregulate stress.

Meditation training produces measurable reductions in resting heart rate, indicating enhanced vagal tone and parasympathetic dominance.

Pascoe et al., 2017 — Systematic review of 45 RCTs on meditation and physiological markers of stress.
PubMed

Real-time biofeedback during contemplative practice significantly increases practitioner engagement and self-reported awareness of physiological states.

Goessl et al., 2017 — Meta-analysis of HRV biofeedback for stress and anxiety reduction.
PubMed

Heart rate provides an accessible proxy for sympathovagal balance. Consistent HR reduction during meditation correlates with improved autonomic flexibility over time.

Krygier et al., 2013 — Mindfulness meditation, resting heart rate, and cardiac vagal tone.
PubMed

Optical photoplethysmography (PPG) sensors in consumer wearables can achieve clinical-level accuracy for heart rate measurement during rest and low-motion activities.

Bent et al., 2020 — Validation of consumer wearables for HR monitoring.
PubMed

HR today. HRV tomorrow. Heart rate is the first biometric signal — it's immediate, intuitive, and responds to every breath. HRV (heart rate variability) analysis is on the roadmap, along with breath coherence scoring and guided protocols. HR is the starting point, not the ceiling.

Where this is going.

HRM v1 captures heart rate. Future versions will interpret it — turning raw data into actionable insight about your nervous system.
