support.
PulseReset reads heart rate from your earbuds and delivers brief, timely interventions when arousal rises — not to diagnose, but to help you stay in control during demanding cognitive work.
Most focus tools ignore what your body is doing.
Arousal can spike before you notice. Existing apps track time and tasks — they never respond to physiology in the moment.
Overload builds silently
Heart rate may rise before you consciously feel stress escalating during deep work.
Medication shifts baseline
Stimulants and atomoxetine alter heart rate patterns, complicating any simple interpretation.
Recovery is invisible
Finishing a demanding task does not mean your nervous system has returned to baseline.
Three support modes for real-world cognitive work.
Stress interruption
Detects rising HR versus your personal baseline. Triggers paced breathing, pause prompts, or task reframing.
Medication-aware monitoring
Tracks how HR patterns shift with medication timing, caffeine, and sleep debt — without making treatment claims.
Recovery coaching
Detects delayed return to baseline after hard work. Guides short reset protocols before the next effort block.
Designed for the moment.
From real-time monitoring to guided resets and daily patterns — every screen responds to your physiology, context, and timing.
HR-only. Personal baseline. Minimal interpretation.
Earbuds capture heart rate in low-motion, seated conditions.
The app builds a within-person baseline by context and time of day.
Relative shifts evaluated against work state, medication, caffeine, and effort.
Short interventions triggered when patterns suggest overload or delayed recovery.
Conservative claims, established physiology.
Heart rate acts as a practical proxy for changes in arousal state — when interpreted within-person, in context, over time.
Heart signals track cognitive load
Heart-related signals reflect changes in autonomic activation during demanding tasks.
View source →ADHD differences are task-related
The signal is how physiology shifts during attention-demanding contexts, not a static baseline.
View source →Medication affects cardiovascular state
ADHD medications alter HR and arousal dynamics — medication-aware interpretation is necessary.
View source →Recovery matters
Autonomic flexibility and return to baseline are relevant to cognitive control and regulation.

Defensible
- ✓Awareness of physiological state shifts during demanding work.
- ✓HR as a proxy for rising arousal and incomplete recovery.
- ✓Testing brief interventions and observing context-driven responses.
- ✓Understanding patterns across medication, caffeine, sleep, workload.
We Do Not Claim
- ✗Detecting or diagnosing ADHD.
- ✗Reading thoughts, attention content, or emotions.
- ✗Measuring medication effectiveness.
- ✗Replacing clinical assessment or medical monitoring.

Careful claims. Real-world usefulness. A cleaner bridge between research and daily cognitive work.
Not a medical device. Not for diagnosis or emergency use.
