Rhythm transforms the new AirPods Pro heart rate sensing feature into one-minute mindful check-ins: feel, see, and hear your actual heartbeat through synchronized audiovisuals, and haptics. Works with AirPods Pro 3, Apple Watch, or any Bluetooth heart monitor.
Hey PH! I'm Mathijs, from the team behind Rhythm. For me starting a more traditional meditation sometimes feels like a hurdle. But when Apple announced heart rate sensing in the AirPods Pro 3, I had this wild idea: what if your heartbeat could be the meditation? Just tune into the rhythm that's literally keeping you alive.
We built Rhythm in a sprint of excitement, and honestly, feeling my actual pulse through my iPhone and AirPods Pro become my favorite way to check in with myself. Would love to hear what you think! 💗
Big fan of the concept, @mathijskadijk, turning the heartbeat itself into the practice is clever and feels refreshingly low-friction.
Tried Rhythm just now but couldn’t get my AirPods Pro 3 to connect on first run. Could be me, but if there’s a quick troubleshooting tip (permissions, pairing flow, etc.), I’m all ears (ha!). Happy to share details if it helps.
Either way, love the direction. The world could use more calm built into the defaults. Cheering you on!
I'm a huge fan of mindfulness and meditation related apps. This is a really cool use of the new heart rate sensors. I really like the visuals for this. Maybe this will be my excuse for upgrading to the new AirPods Pro haha
Sounds like digital mindfulness lol. Does it adapt visuals based on your heartbeat rhythm in real time?
