Description
What does your pulse look like? Not just the number of beats it does per minute (i.e. the heart rate), but how does it behave? HEARTshape will let you see your heart in a whole new light!
HEARTshape measures your heart rate using your iPhone camera and flash. No need for a dedicated heart rate monitor!
HEARTshape gives you the possibility to see how blood flows through your finger with every heartbeat. How your heart rate changes - not minute by minute, but heartbeat by heartbeat. Changes to your heart rate will be displayed in an instant - with every new pulse!
HEARTshape will also show you how your heartbeats are distributed so that you can clearly see every time your heart skips a beat.
You should also take the opportunity to compare your heart rate to the general population. How does your resting heart rate measure up?
Features:
- Optical measurement of blood flow and detection of heartbeats using the built-in camera.
- Measurement of heart rate (beats per minute).
- Trend graph that shows how your heart rate changes with every heartbeat.
- Shows the variation of the beat to beat interval in realtime, i.e. the heart rate for each and every heartbeat.
- HealthKit integration to show you how your heart rate has changed over a longer period of time (enable in settings).
- Feel your heart beat! Using haptic feedback, you'll now be able to not only see but also feel your heart beats in real time. This feature requires iOS 13 and supported hardware (iPhone 8 and above).

Simple. Smart. And actually free.
This works well and apparently includes no advertising, a real plus. Another app asked for $50 every year! Connects to Apple Health for basic data records. No Apple Watch necessary.
The tutorial was helpful and mostly clear. Strangely, my only confusion was the illustration of finger placement while scanning the pulse over the phone camera. I just couldn’t follow that guidance successfully.
Hint: It scanned consistently for me when I placed my left index finger across the top back side, covering the lens and light, and my thumb gently holding the top front. Experiment a little and you’ll likely find your own best “grip”.
All in all, I found “Heart Shape” a simple, smart way to successfully measure and record my heart rate every day without an Apple Watch.
Great app
Exxxxxccccceeeeeellllllnnntttttt app. No adds, fluff, or stuff you don’t need. Was using another app but found this one which is so much better. This one keeps a log of each pulse check which allows me to share with my doctor. Thanks for building a great app.
Needs better tutorial
I think it would work well if there was just a straightforward tutorial showing where exactly to place your finger. Half the time it tells me it can’t get an accurate reading because of finger placement, but there is no info about where to place it exactly. I can move it around and get a few readings, but so far there is enough variation that I’m not sure which reading is the correct one. Guess I’ll keep trying….
