About this app

Heart Alert connects to your Bluetooth heart rate monitor and plays a sound the moment your BPM goes above or below the range you set. Choose a minimum and a maximum, put your phone away, and train by ear.

No screen-watching. No zone math. No account.

How it works

1. Put on your Bluetooth heart rate monitor or chest strap.
2. Set your min and max BPM.
3. Press start — you get an alert when you drift too high or too low, and another one when you are back in range.

Features

– Custom minimum and maximum BPM limits
– High heart rate alerts and low heart rate alerts
– Immediate audio alerts, with adjustable volume
– Optional vibration
– Repeat interval of 1, 3, 5 or 10 seconds while you are out of range
– "Out of range for" delay, so a short spike or a passing dip stays quiet
– Initial delay, to keep things silent during your warm-up
– Sensor battery level at a glance
– Runs in the background while you use another app
– Fast setup, nothing to sign up for

Works with your heart rate monitor

Supports most compatible Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) heart rate monitors, chest straps and armbands, including:
– Polar H10, H9, H7, OH1 and Verity Sense
– Garmin, Wahoo TICKR, CooSpo, Scosche, Decathlon and more

Any sensor that broadcasts a standard Bluetooth LE heart rate signal should work, though Bluetooth on its own does not guarantee compatibility. If yours is not detected, send the developer a message.

An external heart rate sensor is required. Camera-based and wrist-only phone measurement are not supported.

Made for

– Zone 2 work and aerobic base building
– Running, cycling and indoor cycling
– Cardio, gym sessions and interval training
– Endurance and steady-state efforts
– Easy recovery days, where the whole point is keeping the effort down
– Anyone who wants a heart rate alarm and nothing else

Why an alarm instead of a display?

A number on a screen only helps if you look at it. An alert means your target range takes care of itself, and you only think about it when something actually needs attention — on the treadmill, on the road, or with your phone in a jersey pocket.

Pricing

Your first 5 tracking sessions are free. Unlimited tracking is a one-time purchase. No subscription, no ads.

Privacy

Heart Alert has no internet permission at all. Your heart rate never leaves your phone.

Important: background use

The app keeps tracking in the background, but Android may shut it down to save battery. To prevent this, see dontkillmyapp.com.

It is not a medical device, it is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease, and it should not be relied on for emergency or continuous health monitoring.

Ratings and reviews

works perfectly and is much more easy to use than other apps

this is good and links to polar verity. I am not sure why it stops working every 30mins to 45 mins? I have to reconnect but it does work when reconnected. update - change battery settings on the app to unrestricted to keep the app going, still turns off after a longer time but much less than before. lovely app, very easy to use.

gamechanger for me. absolutely love this app cause for me a heartrate that goed above my personal treshold could go into afib. And now I can cycle and focus on the trail and not have to look at the display of my cycling computer to keep an eye on my heartrate. Was a bit worried that I maybe wouldn't hear the alarm, cause it isn't that loud and you cannot change it but I can hear it so all good for me. Wish I had this app sooner. Thanks a million for making this app. Greetings from Europe.
