You don’t need to build an app. You can use the built in Shortcuts app.
create a shortcut that turns off all alarms. Can have it read your calendar or whatever as signal to determine if alarms should be on/off for a certain day/time and have it run at a regular schedule.
hey - great question
i used whoops journalling feature for several montths.
what I found was that it often throws 5+ variables into one “correlation”, creating a lot of noise where it ends up suggesting X impacting your sleep, when it could have actually been Y.
Pulse is built for n=1 experiments: you isolate a habit (like less screen time, consistent wake up time, caffeine impact), test it, and see if it actually helps your sleep better or not. think self-controlled studies
This started from my own burnout trying to optimize performance. I tracked everything, changed habits constantly, got a bunch of wearables, but could never figure out what was working vs wasn't.
Most devices just give you a score based on some generic/population model and leave you to figure it out. They treat everyone like an average.
With Pulse, we wanted to build something different -- a way to actually test what works for your body in real life.
Happy to answer questions about the tech, hardware, or what it took to get from idea to (almost) shipping
If you really want to engage an LLM to help point it towards Cherri (https://github.com/electrikmilk/cherri) to help with implementation
