PulseWave · iOS
Breathe, Meditate,
Rest Better.
A science-backed wellness app built around the three pillars that research shows matter most — breath, mind, and sleep. 33+ breathing patterns, guided meditations grounded in peer-reviewed science, sleep stories, and a real-time HRV measurement you can do with just your phone camera.
PulseWave is a wellness app, not a medical device. Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition.
Built around what science
says actually works.
Every session in PulseWave is tied to published research. No filler content, no vague promises — just techniques that have been shown to reduce stress, improve sleep, and sharpen focus.
Breath
33+ breathing patterns for nervous system regulation. Box Breathing, Cyclic Sighing, 4-7-8, Coherent Breathing — from beginner to advanced.
Mind
Guided meditations for sleep, stress, focus, and compassion. Signature sessions grounded in CBT-I, Yoga Nidra, NSDR, and progressive muscle relaxation.
Sleep
Night Journeys — 8 guided imagery sessions designed to carry your mind away from thought and into rest. Three paths: Fast Sleep, Late Mind Reset, Deep Recovery.
A complete wellness toolkit.
Breathwork Library
33+ scientifically-backed patterns
From the Stanford-validated Cyclic Sighing to traditional Box Breathing, every technique is categorised by difficulty, purpose, and the research behind it. A visual breath orb guides you through each inhale, hold, and exhale — with haptic feedback that keeps you in rhythm.
- Box Breathing, 4-7-8, Cyclic Sighing, Coherent, and 29+ more
- Beginner, intermediate, and advanced difficulty
- Visual orb guide with haptic feedback
- Set an intention before each session
Camera Coherence
Measure your HRV with just your phone
Place your fingertip on the rear camera. PulseWave uses remote photoplethysmography (rPPG) to detect subtle colour changes and calculate your cardiac coherence score — no wearable hardware needed. The measurement runs entirely on-device.
- Real-time heart rate variability (HRV) measurement
- On-device processing — nothing leaves your phone
- Coherence score informs breathing recommendations
- Premium feature — no external hardware required
