Private couples wellness

The couples app that turns Apple Watch
signals into the meaning of your day,
never the measurement.

Pulse is not a health tracker for couples. It is a private layer between how your body feels and how your partner shows up. Your iPhone reads your Watch against your own baseline, on your phone, turns the difference into one human cue for the person you love, and the next morning asks you whether how they showed up helped. No numbers. No verdicts. Your raw measurements never leave your phone.

Sometimes you do not need an explanation. You just need to know how to show up.

Your partner may have had a difficult night. You may not know why.

Pulse can quietly notice the change, without exposing the underlying health data.

What they see

“A calm evening might mean a lot today.”

How Pulse works

From an Apple Watch signal to a way to show up, and back to you the next morning.

  1. 01

    Your Watch notices.

    Sleep, heart rate, HRV and movement.

  2. 02

    Your iPhone interprets.

    Pulse compares today's signals against your own baseline, locally on your device.

  3. 03

    You stay in control.

    Choose what you share. Pause sharing whenever you want.

  4. 04

    Your partner gets a human cue.

    Never a chart. Never a number. One gentle sentence, and one concrete way to be there tonight.

  5. 05

    The next morning, Pulse asks you.

    Did how they showed up help? One tap, four honest answers, and that is what teaches Pulse which gestures land for the two of you.

From the journal: What HRV actually tells you, and what it doesn't 

One sentence can change the evening.

Pulse · Today's cue

“A calm evening might mean a lot today.”

Hold, together Send a candle Ask what helps

Pulse does not tell your partner what is happening to you. It gives them a little context for how they might show up.

Your partner does not need your health data. They need to know how to be there.

Stays on your device

  • Heart rate stays private.
  • HRV stays private.
  • Sleep stays private.
  • Raw health measurements never leave your iPhone.

What crosses over

“A calm evening might mean a lot today.”

The output is human, not clinical. One sentence, no chart, no history to scroll. It does leave your phone, because it was written for them. The next morning one of four words can travel back, so Pulse learns what actually helped.

Together

More than a mood tracker. A private space for the two of you.

The Pulse chat on iPhone, end-to-end encrypted, with a held heart between the two partners The Pulse chat on iPhone in dark mode

A private chat with photos, GIFs and real gestures. Press and hold the heart and if your partner holds it at the same moment, you both feel it, no matter the distance.

Ask for a hug, a talk or some closeness without a hard conversation. Log your mood. Answer the question of the day. Find a way back after a rough patch.

Encrypted chat Photos and GIFs Hold, together Wordless signals Mood Question of the day A way back Social battery

Every chat message is end-to-end encrypted, with the key living only in your iCloud Keychain. The question of the day is the one thing here that is not, and the security page says why.

Your shared life

Build a little life together.

Not eight separate features, one connected place where the plans, the memories and the small logistics live.

  • Our Story

    The lake, late Septembera year ago
    The kitchen, 2 a.m.March

    A shared album of little moments, a photo, a place, a note, that grows quietly alongside you.

  • Together since

    1,204

    days, and 7 hours

    Pulse keeps the count, nudges you before the anniversary, and celebrates on the day.

  • Plan a date

    Thu · 19:30Yes
    Wine bar, 400 m away

    Float an idea from the wishlist; they answer with one tap. Real nearby venues, never invented ones.

  • Shared watchlist

    • Films and series
    • Books
    • Songs

    Turn a “we should watch this” into an evening on the calendar, and then into a memory.

  • Shared calendar

    Confirmed plans and anniversaries, synced to the calendar you already use.

  • Know Us

    “On a hard day, do not fix it. Just sit next to me.”

    Each of you writes your own side, in your own words. Pulse never guesses an entry.

  • Wishlist and shopping

    That lamp

    Small logistics that stop having to become a conversation.

Small moments, right on your Apple Watch.

Six small faces for the smallest gestures: Today, Us, the chat to read, a mood check-in, Our Story and the morning summary. From Today you can also send a tap, ask for something, answer what they asked, or reach out again after a rough evening, without taking your phone out.

Everything Pulse does on Apple Watch

Privacy

Your relationship is private. Your health data should be too.

Your raw measurements stay on your phone. One human sentence crosses to your partner, and one of four words can come back. The numbers behind either never reach our servers.

  • Raw health measurements stay on your phone.
  • No advertising.
  • No third-party trackers.
  • End-to-end encrypted chat.
  • Keys in your iCloud Keychain.
  • Pause sharing instantly.
  • Export or delete your data.
  • Your partner never sees a biometric number.
  • No data brokers. Nothing about your health is ever sold.

We made this because asking “Are you okay?” does not always tell you enough.

Hi. We made this for two people we love.

We kept watching the same thing happen: one of us had slept badly, carried it through the whole day, and answered “I'm fine”, because explaining it felt like more work than living with it. The other one only found out much later, when it had already turned into a small argument about something else.

So we built the smallest possible thing that would have helped: not a dashboard, not a score, and definitely not a way to check up on someone. One sentence, in the evening, that says be a little gentler tonight.

Who this couples app is for, and who it is not for.

Pulse is for couples who

  • want to understand each other better
  • want gentle context, not surveillance
  • already use an Apple Watch
  • value privacy
  • want small ways to stay connected

From the journal: Staying close long distance, without texting all day 

Honestly, the limits

  • iPhone only. Not coming to Android.
  • Apple Watch optional. WHOOP support is on the way.
  • Not a medical device. It diagnoses nothing.
  • Not built for monitoring another person.
  • Not a replacement for therapy or medical care.
Five times Pulse is the wrong choice

A quieter way
to be there.

Pulse helps you notice the moments when a little more care might matter.
