Heart Monitor

Heart Monitor displays heart-rate readings from a compatible Bluetooth sensor in the Mac menu bar, with a live chart and session extremes.

Our take

Pick for viewing a fitness sensor while using the Mac.

A small live display and reconnection keep general exercise information accessible.

Keep in mind: It requires a sensor implementing the Bluetooth heart-rate service and is explicitly not a medical device. The chart is a limited session view, not a clinical monitoring record.

What you can do

  • Display current BPM in the menu bar
  • View a rolling chart and minimum/maximum values
  • Reconnect to a previously selected sensor

Good for

  • People checking general fitness readings from an existing compatible sensor.

Consider alternatives for

  • Anyone requiring diagnosis, clinical alarms or a long-term medical record.

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: macOS 14.0.
  • It requires a sensor implementing the Bluetooth heart-rate service and is explicitly not a medical device. The chart is a limited session view, not a clinical monitoring record.

Privacy & permissions

The developer states no account, cloud or tracking and says readings stay on the Mac. Protect the screen when heart-rate information should remain private.
