What PulseID does
It puts wearable BPM on the media you capture.
PulseID receives heart rate from Apple Watch, Apple Health, or a compatible Bluetooth monitor and renders it directly onto photos and videos.
Heart-rate camera for iPhone
Your pulse
belongs in the
picture.
Add live heart rate from Apple Watch or a compatible Bluetooth monitor to photos and videos. Capture the moment, with proof of how it felt.
Free to download. In-app purchases available.
One important distinction
A camera for your heart rate. Not a heart-rate test.
What PulseID does not do
It does not measure a pulse through the iPhone camera.
The camera captures the moment. Your connected wearable supplies the BPM. PulseID is not a medical device and does not provide a diagnosis.

Made for the moment
Your data, made visible.
A hard finish, a first date, a jump scare, or a quiet view. PulseID turns the number your wearable already knows into part of the memory.
1
Live photo and video overlays. BPM is baked into the exported media.
2
Library import. Add heart-rate context to media you already captured.
3
Daily context. Review min, max, resting, and hourly heart-rate activity.
4
On-device insights. Supported devices can explore moments with local AI.
Private by design
Your heart rate stays yours.
Heart-rate data, photos, and videos stay on your device. Watermarking runs locally. Limited operational telemetry helps diagnose reliability, but never includes health data or media. PulseID does not sell personal data or use it for advertising.
