Add years of healthspan, while using your Garmin.
A 360° healthspan picture from the Garmin you already wear — recovery, strain, sleep, HRV, and the trends that move the years you live healthy.

Healthspan is how long you live in good health — not just how long you live. Pulse keeps you consistent on the few habits that actually move it forward.
The big movers for healthspan
Three habits do most of the work for the years you live in good health. Pulse shows the trend on each, so consistency becomes visible.
Cardio fitness
Cardiorespiratory fitness is the single strongest predictor of healthspan. Pulse charts your VO2max and Fitness Age over time so you can see whether your training is actually moving the metric that matters most — not just logging miles.
Strength training
Strength is the second-largest lever — and the easiest one to drift on. Pulse counts your strength sessions and surfaces consistency week over week so the gym habit doesn't quietly disappear from your calendar.
Recovery & sleep
How well you recover and sleep is what lets the training compound. Pulse turns nightly HRV and sleep stages into a baseline-relative trend, so you spot drift before it costs you a workout.
Your Garmin data, finally working for you
Recovery, surfaced
Body Battery, HRV, and sleep distilled into a single recovery score on the home screen — not buried five taps deep.
Strain that means something
Today's training load against your recommended target. A clear answer to 'should I push hard or back off?' — not a raw number.
Sleep clarity
Stages, sleep debt, and last night versus your personal baseline. See drift before it costs you a workout.
No new hardware
Works with every Garmin watch that reports HRV and sleep — Forerunner, Fenix, Epix, Venu, Vivoactive. Wear what you already wear.
Trends, not snapshots
Your last 30 / 90 / 365 days of recovery and strain on one chart. Spot the patterns a daily widget can't show you.
AI coach for healthspan
Specialized for health records, grounded in your Pulse and Garmin data. Ask anything — and every week, get 1–3 personalized actions based on what your numbers actually show.
Personalized actions, every week.
Pulse doesn't stop at showing the data. The AI coach reads your trends and tells you exactly what to focus on this week — grounded in your numbers, not generic advice.
Add 1 strength session this week
You averaged 1.5 strength sessions/week over the last month. Bumping to 2.5 hits the threshold where the largest healthspan benefits start — and your recovery has the headroom for it.
Aim for an 11:00 pm lights-out
Your bedtime drifted from 10:45 pm to 11:45 pm over the last 3 weeks, and sleep duration dropped from 7h 0m to 6h 15m. A 45-minute earlier wind-down would close most of that gap.
Move tomorrow's threshold session to Zone 2
Your HRV is trending 12% below your 30-day baseline this week. Today's strain target reflects that — swap tomorrow's planned threshold workout for an aerobic session and let the system absorb.
Three steps from sign-up to insight
Connect your Garmin
One-tap OAuth with Garmin Connect. No new device, no syncing dance, no extra wearable on your wrist.
We pull your last 30 days
Pulse imports your Body Battery, HRV, sleep stages, and training load history so the app is useful from day one.
Open Pulse every morning
Recovery, strain, and sleep on the home screen — distilled from your Garmin into the one view you'll actually check.
How Pulse compares
Pulse: $9.99/mo, runs on your Garmin. Garmin Connect: free, but recovery is buried. Whoop: $30/mo and a second strap.
The future of health is continuous
Continuous data from wearable sensors provides a rich, granular, high-definition view of each person's health — and that changes everything.

What to expect in your first weeks
Day 1 — Connect and see your last 30 days
One-tap Garmin OAuth and Pulse imports a month of recovery, strain, and sleep history. The app is useful from the first morning, not after a waiting period.
Days 2–7 — The morning check-in becomes routine
Pulse syncs nightly. You start spotting the pattern between your strain target and how you feel the next day. Sleep debt and Body Battery drift become visible signals, not background noise.
Week 2 — Pulse learns your personal baseline
HRV varies a lot person-to-person, so 'recovered' has to be defined relative to your normal — not a population average. Pulse begins building your baseline so the recovery score reflects your body, not a generic curve.
Week 3 and beyond — Your recovery score sharpens
Once your baseline locks in, daily recovery becomes a meaningful signal: a green day really is a push day, a red day really is a back-off day. The longer you wear your Garmin, the smarter Pulse gets.
Health data deserves the highest bar.
Your body is the most personal data you have. We treat it that way — at the architecture level, not just in fine print.
Encrypted by default
All data is encrypted at rest and in transit using industry-standard cryptography. Continuous audits and patches — not a one-time checkbox.
Read-only Garmin access
Pulse uses Garmin's official Health API with read-only OAuth. We can never write to, modify, or remove anything in your Garmin Connect account.
Never sold, never shared
No advertising partnerships, no third-party data sales, no 'aggregated and de-identified' fine print. Your data stays inside Nove.
You own your data
Export everything to CSV or PDF in one click. Delete everything in one click. No retention games when you cancel.
