HeartRate: Open Source Bluetooth Heart Rate Monitor

HeartRate is a lightweight heart rate monitor application that is built with C# and released as an open source.

It can display heart rate readings from Bluetooth low energy devices, such as Polar H7, Coospo HRM, and Magene H64.

The program is built to work on Windows systems, but with some effort it can work on Linux and macOS.

The primary motivation to build this program is that the core developer could not get Polar H7 to work on iOS devices. So, he decided to repurpose it as a way to read my heart rate while he worked on the computer.

The project is currently maintained by 4 contributors.
