About this app

Your smartphone is an integral part of your daily life – from the first glance in the morning to the last scroll at night.

PULSE helps you better understand your usage patterns and improve them in a targeted way.

The app supports you in developing healthier digital habits and boosting your well-being.

To this end, the app helps you gain a transparent view of your digital behavior and better understand it.


PULSE helps you to better understand your digital behavior. PULSE offers you:

* Short, everyday check-ins about your well-being and habits (e.g., how are you doing? What factors are currently influencing your mood?)

* An overview of your iPhone and app usage directly in the PULSE app to better understand your behavior (e.g., your usage times)

* Feedback on your activity level based on your movement patterns
* Information from wearables (e.g., your Apple Watch or Garmin Watch)

* Direct feedback in the app (e.g., an overview of your hourly and total app usage)

* Detailed reports (e.g., weekly reports) on your data
* Prompts for reflection to help you consciously manage your behavior

* Short exercises (e.g., from the areas of mindfulness and expressive writing)

PULSE combines these features into a personalized experience that supports you in improving your digital behavior step by step.
