that gets it.

Your Garmin sees beer-league night and calls it "workout." RinkPulse sees shifts, bench, ice time, work/rest, HR zones, and, if you're between the pipes, saves and goals against.

No button-pressing every shift. Start the game. Play. Stop it after.

01 / WHAT IT DOES

The stats your watch should've been
giving you all along.

01

Auto Shift Detection

Bench vs. ice, picked up from skating motion and short heart-rate context. No tapping after every shift.

02

Shift Count + Avg

How many you took, how long they were, and whether the third period got ugly.

03

Ice Time / Bench Time

Real numbers, not just active duration. See how much of the game you actually played.

04

Work / Rest Ratio

The single most useful number for not gassing yourself in the third.

05

HR Zones

Time in each zone across the whole game and on a per-shift basis.

06

Goalie Mode

Tap saves and goals against from the watch. Save % at the buzzer.

02 / BUILT FOR

Made for people who actually play.

Things it doesn't do
(being honest).

It's a side project. I ship between shifts. One dev, one rink bag.
05 / QUESTIONS

Frequently asked,
honestly answered.

Which Garmin watches work?
A wide set of Forerunner, fenix, Instinct, Venu, vivoactive, epix, Enduro, MARQ, D2, Descent, and Approach watches that support Connect IQ watch apps. If your watch can install third-party Connect IQ apps, it may be supported.
How does it know I'm on the bench?
Motion, speed/distance evidence when available, and short heart-rate context. It is not perfect, especially on weird bench changes or short shifts, but the goal is no button pressing every shift.
Do I need the Android app?
No. The watch works standalone and shows you your stats post-game. The Android app is for keeping a session history and looking at HR/shift charts on a bigger screen. If you want to help test the Android beta, send an email and include your Google Play email address.
iPhone? Apple Watch?
Not yet. Possibly. No promise on timing. It's a side project.
How much?
Free right now. No ads. No account. Premium purchase is not live.
Can I send feedback?
Please. rinkpulsesupport@gmail.com. Bug reports with watch model, phone model, and what happened are gold.
