Your nervous system
deserves better tools.
31 breathing protocols grounded in peer-reviewed science. 50+ guided meditations. A real-time sound studio. An AI coach that runs entirely on your phone.
Wellness tool only — not a medical device.
Three things. That's it.
Breath, mind, and sleep are the levers research keeps pointing to. PulseWave gives you a serious toolkit for each — not a content library, a toolkit.
Breath
31 protocols, each targeting a specific physiological state. From a 60-second micro-reset to 20-minute coherence sessions. Haptic pacing. Every protocol cites its source.
31 protocolsMind
50+ guided sessions organized by function: stress, focus, sleep, MBSR, CBT, compassion. Six structured programs from 7 to 30 days that don't expire.
50+ sessionsSleep
A real-time synthesis engine with binaural beats, isochronic pulses, and brainwave presets. Narrated sleep journeys from 10 to 45 minutes.
4-track studioBuilt for the moment you actually need it.
Breathwork
The right pattern for the right moment.
Most apps give you three breathing exercises. PulseWave has 31 — each one targeting a different physiological state. Cyclic Sighing (from a 2023 Nature Medicine study by Balban et al.) for immediate stress reduction. Box Breathing for pressure. Sleep Ladder 3-6-9 for wind-down. Coherent Breathing at 0.1 Hz for peak HRV. Pre-Speech 4-6 for the five minutes before you have to perform.
- 31 protocols with peer-reviewed citations
- Haptic pacing — close your eyes, phone keeps the rhythm
- Sessions from 60 seconds to 20 minutes

Sound studio
Not a playlist. A synthesis engine.
The sound studio synthesizes audio in real time. Four independent tracks — each with its own base sound, wave modulation, binaural offset for hemispheric entrainment, and isochronic pulse layer. A 5-band EQ shapes the output. Brainwave presets (Delta for deep sleep, Theta for meditation, Alpha for relaxation, Beta for focus) handle the parameters automatically. Save unlimited custom presets.
- Real-time 4-track synthesis — no pre-mixed files
- Binaural beats + isochronic pulses + 5-band EQ
- Brainwave presets: Delta · Theta · Alpha · Beta · Gamma
AI Coach
A coach that stays on your phone.
The coaching feature uses a local language model running entirely on your device. No API calls. Nothing leaving your phone. It reads your mood check-ins and session history to suggest what to do next. It can analyze your journal entries for cognitive distortions and offer CBT-style reframes. None of this requires a server connection, and nothing you write is ever transmitted anywhere.
- 100% on-device inference — no cloud, no data leaving your phone
- Journal mood analysis + CBT thought reframing
- Adaptive session recommendations based on your history
