# Beat Watcher

> Beat Watcher is an Apple Watch app that alerts you the moment your heart rate goes above or below the BPM thresholds you set. It offers continuous background monitoring, haptic and audio alerts, an optional iPhone companion with Critical Alerts, Bluetooth chest strap support (such as the Polar H10), and saved Alert History on iPhone with local notes, context tags, and user-initiated CSV export. Free to download, with an optional subscription at $12 per year that includes a one month free trial. Beat Watcher is a general wellness app, not a medical device, and does not diagnose, treat, or prevent any condition.
