Building a heart-rate monitor for Mac without a wearable – what we learned

Hey ph

I'm launching GlowPulse on June 2nd a menu-bar app for mac that reads your heart rate from the built-in camera (rPPG, no wearable). Started as a python prototype, rewrote in swift, took a detour through CoreML.

Some things i didn't expect:

- vision face detection every 10 frames creates a ~90 bpm ghost peak right inside the heart-rate band fixed by running every frame with ema-smoothed bounding box (=0.35);

GlowPulse - Your Mac's camera is now a heart-rate sensor

GlowPulse measures your heart rate from your Mac's built-in camera using rPPG – no watch, no chest strap, no wearable. Lives in the menu bar with live BPM, sparkline, and color-coded zones. 100% on-device. Camera frames are processed in memory and discarded. No cloud, no account, no telemetry. Pomodoro focus with live HR chart. Breathing sessions with real-time HRV. 30-second stress check. $2.99 once. macOS 13+.
