About this app

Heart Ember turns your phone into a simple heart rate monitor. Place your fingertip on the rear camera and get your pulse in 30–60 seconds — then keep all your wellness numbers in one calm, private place.

MEASURE YOUR HEART RATE WITH YOUR CAMERA
Cover your phone's rear camera and flash with your fingertip. Heart Ember reads the subtle color changes in your skin (photoplethysmography) and shows your live heart rate in beats per minute (BPM). A reading takes about 30 to 60 seconds — no wearable, chest strap, or extra hardware needed.

ALL YOUR WELLNESS NUMBERS IN ONE PLACE
Beyond your pulse, Heart Ember gives you one clean dashboard to follow the numbers you care about:
- Heart rate (BPM) — measured with your phone camera
- Blood oxygen, blood pressure and blood sugar — values you log from your own readings or devices
- Notes and context for every entry
Everything is organized by day, so your trends build themselves over time.

HISTORY THAT SAVES ITSELF
Every reading is stored automatically and sorted by date. Filter by metric, scroll back through your full history, and see clear resting, recovery and summary labels at a glance.

INSIGHTS AND TRENDS
Heart Ember turns raw numbers into something you can actually use — recovery scores, gentle weekly summaries, streaks, and easy-to-read charts that help you understand how your heart rate and wellness change over time.

SHARE WHEN YOU WANT
Export a clean result card in one tap to share with family or save to your device. You choose exactly what to share.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Your readings are stored on your device. Camera frames are processed in real time to detect your pulse and are not uploaded. You stay in control of your data and can delete it at any time.

WHY YOU'LL LIKE HEART EMBER
- Fast heart rate readings in under a minute
- No wearable or extra hardware required
- Simple, calm and easy to use
- Works offline

DEVICE COMPATIBILITY
Heart rate measurement uses your phone's rear camera and flash, so a device with a working rear camera and LED flash is required. Results may vary between phone models, skin contact and lighting conditions.

IMPORTANT: WELLNESS, NOT A MEDICAL DEVICE
Heart Ember is designed for general wellness and informational purposes only. It is not a medical device and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease or condition. Heart rate results are estimates, and blood oxygen, blood pressure and blood sugar values are the figures you enter yourself. Heart Ember is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional about your health, and seek emergency care for any urgent symptoms.

Download Heart Ember and take your first heart rate reading today.
