Pulse Focus
Train Your Focus. Measure Your Mind.
- On-device
- Biofeedback gameplay
Pulse Focus is a game-based focus-training app that measures real focus, stress, and cognitive load through gameplay and signals, fully on-device. Not a timer. Not meditation. A measurable way to train attention under pressure.
Biofeedback gameplay
Games that read you back.
Reaction Mode
Something shows up, you respond. Speed counts, but so does getting it right. Every answer updates how Pulse Focus reads your mental load, live, while you’re still playing.
Distraction Mode
We interrupt you on purpose. The score isn’t about never getting pulled away, because everyone does. It’s about how quickly you find your focus again once you are.
Breathwork
Not everything here is a race. Slow your breath, settle your focus, with a guided session and a pacer to breathe along with. Use it before you play or when your head feels crowded.
Focus Hold
Everything else builds on this one. Keep your attention steady from the first second to the last, with no spikes and no drift. It sounds simple until you’re halfway through.
Path Mode
Follow a path that keeps changing while the clock runs down. You have to remember where it’s been and watch where it’s going at the same time, without losing your place.
Built for science
A game that’s also a research platform.
Pulse Focus is a live research tool from Synheart: games collecting multimodal data physiological, behavioral, interaction with consent, open to researchers.

Your mind stays yours.
Measurement happens on-device
Inference runs entirely on-device. Raw biosignals never leave the user’s phone or wearable unless the user explicitly consents. Human state intelligence should never come at the cost of privacy.
Research participation is consented and distinct from play.
Our work doesn’t stay in papers. We design research with deployment in mind, prioritizing robustness, interpretability, and real-world constraints from day one. Every insight becomes part of HSI.
