Real-time heart rate

Features

Everything your body is
already telling you.

StressPal reads your biometric signals and turns them into actionable clarity about how work affects your wellbeing.

Live Heart Rate in Your Menu Bar

StressPal sits quietly in your Mac menu bar showing your BPM at all times. Glance up and instantly know if your heart rate is holding steady — or if you need a break.

Stress Threshold Alerts

Set a personal baseline or let StressPal auto-calculate it from your data. You get alerted the moment your heart rate climbs above your configured threshold.

One-tap Live Recorder

Hit record before your next call. StressPal captures mic + system audio, transcribes every word live, and samples your heart rate every second. No dialogs. One tap.

Apple Intelligence Analysis

After each recording, on-device Apple Intelligence reads the annotated transcript and HR data to identify which topics or moments triggered your stress spikes.

Calendar Stress Correlation

Connect your calendars and StressPal shows you which recurring meetings consistently elevate your heart rate — so you can plan around them.

Daily Stress Dashboard

Today's average HR, peak BPM, and detected stress events — all visible at a glance. A clean, focused view of how your body responded to the day.
