Overview
Pulse is a local-first iPhone and Apple Watch app. It has no accounts, advertising, analytics, tracking, or developer-operated servers.
Data stored on your devices
Workout plans, workout history, bladder voiding records (including stream duration, urge level, leakage severity, and optional activity notes), fluid intake logs, bladder-diary complete/partial day declarations, goals, reminder settings, and app preferences are stored locally on your devices using Apple system frameworks. Pulse does not send this information to Pulse-operated servers or third-party analytics or advertising services. Apple device-to-device services and exports you choose to make are described below.
The Apple Watch app uses Apple’s WatchConnectivity framework to receive workout plans from the paired iPhone and return completed workout sessions and bladder logs. This transfer occurs through Apple’s device-to-device services and is not sent to a Pulse-operated server.
Notifications
Workout reminders are scheduled locally on your device. Pulse does not use a remote notification server.
Exporting, backup, recovery, and deleting data
History and bladder diary exports only occur when you request them and choose where to share the resulting CSV files. Once shared, the destination you select handles that copy under its own privacy practices.
Pulse can also create a full backup when you choose Export Full Backup in Settings. The backup is a versioned file intended for restoring Pulse data and may contain workout plans and history, bladder-diary records, diary-day status declarations, and app preferences. Pulse does not upload this backup or send it to the developer. You choose where to save or share it, and the destination you select handles that copy under its own privacy practices.
Restoring a full backup is user-initiated. Pulse validates the selected backup before applying it and uses non-destructive merge behavior for matching saved records. This backup feature is not cloud sync and does not create a Pulse account.
If Pulse cannot open its local database, you can request a recovery copy of the saved database files and choose where to save or share it. These files may contain your private workout and bladder-diary data. Pulse does not automatically send recovery copies to the developer or any server. Keep the files together and share only with someone you trust.
You can delete individual records or clear all workout history and bladder logs inside Pulse. Deleting Pulse removes its locally stored app data.
Public support website
This website provides product information, support documentation, and this privacy policy. It is separate from the Pulse app and does not receive your workout history, bladder diary, backups, or other locally stored app records.
The Pulse support site does not intentionally add analytics, advertising pixels, tracking cookies, or a user account system. If you choose a light or dark appearance override, that preference is stored locally in your browser and is not sent to Pulse. This site is hosted using GitHub Pages. GitHub may process ordinary web requests and security logs, such as IP addresses, under its own terms and privacy practices.
Do not include sensitive medical or bladder-diary information in public support channels. For private support, email pulse-app@motobear.dev.
Medical information
Pulse provides exercise guidance and personal voiding-habit tracking. It is not intended to provide medical advice, diagnose a medical condition, or replace care from a physician or pelvic-health professional.
Changes
If Pulse’s data practices change, this policy will be updated before the related app update is released.
