Somnistics Research Labs just updated Pausality, a stress management app for Apple Watch and iPhone that shows you your heart rate, blood oxygen, and respiratory rate changing live on your wrist while you breathe. Not after. During.
Co-founder and CEO Randy Graybeal spent 20 years as a certified registered nurse anesthetist managing human nervous systems under extreme stress in operating rooms. He designed every protocol in the app from respiratory physiology — not wellness trend culture. The result is 21 progressive one-minute breathing sessions built around what actually moves the needle on the human stress response.
The latest update adds AirPods Pro 3 heart rate integration, full offline support with encrypted local storage, and shareable biometric results cards that show your HR chart and session impact. The FDA’s January 2026 General Wellness Policy update explicitly cleared heart rate, SpO2, and respiratory rate for wellness use without device clearance — opening a new category of clinician-designed consumer health tools that Pausality is purpose-built for.
The founders call it “physiological sovereignty”. The ability to see, understand, and control your own stress response — in the moment, on your wrist, in sixty seconds.
Pausality is available now for iPhone (iOS 18+) and Apple Watch (watchOS 11.1+) at $49.99/year or $12.99/month with a free trial.
Try Pausality free — download it now on the Apple App Store.
