Please don't send health data or screenshots that show it. We never need it to help.

Your purchase

• Polar emails you the download link after you buy. Keep that email: it's how you download the app again.
• Updates come through the app itself: Pulsebridge → Check for Updates…
• The iPhone app is free on the App Store.

When the iPhone app can't sync

The iPhone app shows what's wrong at the top of its screen. These are the messages and what to do.

Can't reach your Mac

Wake your Mac and check that Pulsebridge → Live Bridge is on, and that the iPhone is on the same Wi-Fi (or Tailscale). The iPhone app tries again on its own. If macOS asked whether to accept incoming connections, choose Allow.

Local Network access is off

Turn on Settings → Pulsebridge → Local Network on the iPhone so it can find your Mac.

Your Mac didn't accept this iPhone

Pair again: on your Mac, open Pulsebridge → Live Bridge and scan the pairing code with the iPhone's Camera.

Waiting for this iPhone to be unlocked

Health data can't be read while the iPhone is locked. The app syncs after you unlock it.

Sync paused

iOS paused the sync before it finished. It continues from the same place next time.

Update Pulsebridge

The iPhone app and the Mac app don't understand each other. Update both: on the Mac, choose Pulsebridge → Check for Updates…

Good to know

• iOS wakes the iPhone app when Health has new data, at most about once an hour for each kind of data. To send new data right away, open the app and tap Sync Now.
• The first sync sends your whole history in batches and can take a while. If it's interrupted, the next sync picks up where it stopped, and the Mac skips anything it already has.
• Re-importing an export.zip is safe: rows already in the database are skipped.
• Your database is at ~/Library/Application Support/Pulsebridge/health.sqlite. Back it up like any other file.
