Frequently Asked Questions.

Pulse Mindfulness™ is a Calm-Tech™ Pre-Certified company dedicated to creating less stress and more calm in everyday life.

We’re pioneering a new path—one that moves away from data tracking, constant notifications, dashboards, and information overload. Our mission is to re:invent the way we use technology—making it private, non-intrusive, and designed to support well-being rather than demand attention.

We build products that are here to help, not to distract.

Because the world is noisy, fast, and overwhelming—and most people are stuck in stress and distraction without even realizing it. We wanted to change that.

We believe that when people feel grounded and present, they become better versions of themselves—calmer, kinder, more focused, and more alive. And when more people live that way, the world changes too.

So we built the Pulse Ring™ to help make that shift possible. A beautiful, wearable tool that brings you back to the moment—without screens, data, or noise. Just a gentle nudge that helps you pause, breathe, and reset.

It’s about making inner calm easier to access. Not through effort or discipline, but through quiet reminders that meet you where you are. Because mindfulness shouldn’t be another thing on your to-do list. It should be something you feel—naturally, throughout your day.

The Pulse Ring™ is proudly Calm-Tech Pre-certified™, a distinction awarded by the Calm Tech Institute to products that prioritize user well-being by minimizing unnecessary distractions. This certification assesses technology across six key areas: attention, peripheral interaction, durability, light, sound, and materials.

By earning this certification, the Pulse Ring™ demonstrates its commitment to creating a seamless and unobtrusive user experience, aligning with the principles of calm technology to support mindfulness and reduce stress in daily life.

The Pulse Ring™ is the world’s first mindfulness smart ring paired with a companion app. Instead of sensors and data tracking, the Pulse Ring™ uses gentle, timed, and randomized vibrations a few times a day to help users break out of autopilot and return to presence throughout the day — a physical nudge toward calm, focus, and self-awareness.

The app delivers guided content we call Pulse Journeys™, covering topics like stress reduction, digital addiction, emotional regulation, and habit change. Unlike other wearables that track data, Pulse drives real-time behavior change — making mindfulness not just measurable, but actionable.

The Pulse Ring uses gentle, timed vibrations to help you remember to pause, breathe, and reconnect with yourself throughout the day. Each vibration is a cue to take a mindful moment, something we call Pulse Moments™ — whether it’s a deep breath, repeating a mantra, recalling something you’re grateful for, or simply checking in with how you feel. Over time, these micro-practices support habit formation and reduce stress by interrupting autopilot behavior. Paired with the Pulse app, users can customize the vibration frequency, follow guided practices like box breathing and gratitude — turning mindfulness into a daily habit that’s effortless, grounding, and personal.

Pulse Mindfulness™ is a company that focuses on privacy and is not stealing your data or tracking you. Unlike other smart rings focused on tracking data and your vitals — Pulse helps you train your mind. It’s designed to help you take action, stay present, reduce stress, and break free from distractions like social media and procrastination.

It doesn’t measure — it helps. With gentle vibration patterns, it gently guides you back to presence and supports habit change in real time. No distractions. No notifications. Just calm, clarity, and a daily reminder to return to what matters.

The Pulse app complements the ring with guided mindfulness practices, progress tracking, and a community rooted in intentional living.

No, the Pulse App, which accompanies the ring, does not require a subscription. The core functionality of the ring will always be free and the modes included are:
‍
- Mindfulness Mode
- Focus Mode
- Meditation Mode

The Pulse Ring™ acts as a natural extension of a meditation or yoga practice by carrying its core principles — presence, breath, awareness, and intention — into everyday life. While yoga often happens on the mat, the Pulse Ring™ continues that practice off the mat, gently guiding you back to your breath and body throughout the day. It transforms mindfulness from something you schedule into something you live.

Where yoga teaches you to observe your inner world through movement and stillness, Pulse gives you subtle reminders to stay in that state of awareness — whether you’re at work, in traffic, or navigating stress. It’s a way to keep your yoga practice alive in moments when you need it most.

The Pulse Mindfulness Ring is rooted in well-established mindfulness practices, utilizing subtle vibrations as gentle reminders to pause, take (i.e., a deep breath), and recenter yourself throughout the day. This mindful practice helps you step away from the rush of daily life, reducing stress, improving focus, and fostering healthier habits. Whether it’s taking a break from social media, stopping a habit like nail-biting, or simply refocusing on the present moment, the ring supports these positive changes.

The principles behind the ring have been widely researched and are proven to benefit mental health and overall well-being, promoting moments of calm and awareness to help you stay present and grounded amidst life’s challenges. You can dive deeper on our science page.
