View Pulse in widgets, Live Activities, and on Apple Watch

Add Pulse widgets to iPhone and iPad

A medium Pulse widget on an iPhone Home Screen in English, showing the next rhythm and later rhythms for today — The Home Screen widget shows the current or next Pulse and the rhythms that follow today.

An extra-large Pulse widget on an iPad Home Screen in landscape and in English, showing the current Gym Workout rhythm and later rhythms for today — On iPad, use the extra-large widget to see more of today’s flow at once.

Edit the Home Screen, choose Add Widget, then select Pulse from OneCentrate. On iPhone, you can add small, medium, and large widgets. On supported iPad devices, you can also place an extra-large widget.

You can add a circular, rectangular, or inline Pulse widget to the Lock Screen. Available sizes and positions vary by device and system screen.

Based on active, unarchived rhythms, the widget shows NOW, NEXT, or DONE and as much of today’s flow as its size allows. Selecting a link in the widget opens OneCentrate. The destination can vary with the widget’s size and current state.

Track progress with Live Activities

A Pulse Live Activity on an iPhone Lock Screen in English, showing the Basketball Club rhythm, time remaining, and a progress bar — On the Lock Screen, see the rhythm in progress, time remaining, and progress at a glance.

An expanded Dynamic Island on an iPhone Home Screen in English, showing the Basketball Club rhythm, time remaining, and a progress bar — Touch and hold the Dynamic Island to expand it and see more rhythm and progress information.

On supported iPhone and iPad devices, you can follow a Pulse rhythm in progress with a Live Activity on the Lock Screen. It can show the rhythm name, category, note, artwork, and time remaining or progress until the end. Do not use sensitive schedule names, notes, or photos that should not be visible to someone looking at the Lock Screen.

On an iPhone with the Dynamic Island, the compact view shows the time remaining. Expand it to see more rhythm information. On an iPhone without the Dynamic Island, use the Lock Screen presentation.

In supported environments, OneCentrate can attempt to start a Live Activity at the scheduled time. The rhythm must be active, the current device must be selected as a notification device, and Live Activities must be allowed for OneCentrate in system settings.

Network and Apple system conditions can delay the start or prevent it from appearing, so do not use it as an alarm that guarantees an exact time. If you dismiss the current Activity from the Lock Screen, it does not reappear during the same occurrence. A later occurrence can start a new Activity when its conditions are met.

View today’s Pulse on Apple Watch

The Pulse screen on an Apple Watch in English, showing the next Marketing Strategy Class rhythm and its time — On Apple Watch, see the time and alert state for the current or next rhythm first.

Today’s Pulse list on an Apple Watch in English, showing several rhythms and an alert button for each occurrence in start-time order — Scroll down to see today’s rhythms in order of start time.

Select Apple Watch as a notification device for the rhythm, then make sure the latest Pulse data has synchronized to the paired iPhone and Apple Watch.

The Pulse screen in the Watch app shows the current rhythm as NOW and the next rhythm as NEXT, then lists today’s rhythms in order of start time. DONE appears when no more rhythms remain today.

Only active, unarchived rhythms that include Apple Watch as a notification device can appear. You cannot create, edit, archive, or delete rhythms in the Watch app.

Turn off an alert for one occurrence on Apple Watch

Today’s Pulse list on an Apple Watch in English, with only the Introduction to Marketing occurrence muted — Select the bell button to mute only the occurrence at the selected date and time.

Today’s Pulse list on an Apple Watch in English, with the alert for the previously muted Introduction to Marketing occurrence turned on again — Select the same button again to turn alerts back on for that occurrence.

Select the bell button in today’s list in the Watch app to turn alerts off or on for the occurrence that matches that date and time rule. This does not turn off all future alerts for the rhythm.

The paired iPhone receives and processes the change request before it appears on other Pulse surfaces. If iPhone and Apple Watch are disconnected, the latest state may take some time to appear.

Use Pulse complications on Apple Watch

A watch face on Apple Watch showing a circular Pulse complication and a rectangular complication with the next rhythm — Use circular and rectangular complications for a quick view of the current or next rhythm.

Edit the watch face, then select OneCentrate’s Pulse in Complications. Circular, rectangular, and inline complications can show a compact view of the current or next rhythm.

Complications and the Watch app use the latest Pulse data received from iPhone. Depending on the connection, you may see older information or a waiting state. The latest information appears after the connection returns and the next synchronization finishes.
