TensionRadar

TensionRadar turns the heart data your Apple Watch already records into a picture of your stress, with a small cartoon character that feels what your heart feels.

HOW IT WORKS
Heart rate variability (HRV) is the tiny variation between heartbeats. More variation means a relaxed, adaptable nervous system; less means load. TensionRadar learns your personal HRV baseline over a few weeks and scores every new reading against it, blended with how far your heart rate sits above resting. The result is a 0 to 100 stress score in five bands: Serene, Calm, Steady, Tense and Overloaded.

UPDATES AS DATA BECOMES AVAILABLE
TensionRadar reads new Apple Watch measurements from Health and supports background updates. Apple controls when HRV is measured and when apps and widgets refresh, so readings may be delayed and are not continuous. Open the app to check the latest available data.

BEAT-TO-BEAT DETAIL
The beat-to-beat recordings Apple Watch makes during Breathe and Mindfulness sessions are decoded on the phone, giving you RMSSD, SDNN and pNN50 alongside the daily SDNN trend.

COHERENCE BREATHING
Breathe at your resonance frequency with a paced circle. With the TensionRadar watch app, your Apple Watch measures your heart rate during the session and the coherence score updates in real time. Sessions are saved to Apple Health as Mindful Minutes.

TRENDS AND INSIGHTS
Daily HRV against your typical band, resting heart rate, HRV by hour of day, and a month-by-month mood calendar of character faces. Log coffee, sleep, workouts and how you feel; after a few entries TensionRadar shows which habits move your HRV.

MEET NIMBUS
Nimbus, a small cloud whose weather follows your heart, is free and breathes, blinks and droops with your data. The optional Character Pack adds Bloop the blob, Mochi the cat and Sprout the plant for $0.99, once, on all your devices.

WATCH COMPLICATIONS
Five complications for compatible watch faces and slots: your character with its stress ring, your HRV number against your typical range, a 0–100 stress score, heart rate with resting heart rate, and a seven-day HRV chart. The same set works on the iPhone Lock Screen.
