New features, fixes, and the details behind each BPM release.

2.2Latest release

Sharing, rebuilt across BPM

Live sharing has been part of BPM from the beginning. Version 2.2 rebuilds it across the app’s features, especially workouts, so you can share a complete training session.

Workouts, controls, and HRV

  • Shared sessions now bring workout timers, sets, interval presets, and HRV alongside live heart rate. Invite a coach or friend with a link or a temporary six-digit code.
  • Start, pause, and control a shared workout from either device, or load an interval preset. Workout controls stay synchronized while each person chooses their own view.
  • Start an HRV measurement together. The monitor owner’s device calculates the result, and the other device follows its progress and result.
  • Sharing stops after five minutes if nobody joins, or after 90 minutes total. Your local workout continues, with an explanation when sharing ends. Anyone with the link or code can view and control the shared session.

Workout setup and everyday use

  • Optionally review and autofill empty calorie settings from Apple Health. Available values and their dates are shown before you apply them, and existing entries are preserved.
  • Reopening BPM returns you to an active local or shared workout, including a paused session.
  • Clearer calorie setup, maximum-heart-rate suggestions, and HRV readiness and connection messages.
  • Improved Live Activities, sharing reliability, and recovery of an active session.
2.1.1

More consistent measurements and saved workouts

Heart rate and recovery

  • Switching monitors clears the previous sensor’s readings. Connection loss and poor contact stop old values from contributing to current measurements.
  • Heart-rate averages account for the time each reading represents. Saved summaries and charts use consistent workout boundaries, including cooldowns.
  • HRV recordings check for missing beat intervals throughout the measurement, with more consistent summaries.

Calories, timing, and Health

  • Corrected calorie formulas, resting-energy subtraction, and pause handling. Calorie values are clearly labeled as estimates.
  • Saved workouts preserve more precise timing. Charts show gaps and pauses instead of drawing an uninterrupted line through missing data.
  • Apple Health export uses active calories and excludes heart-rate samples recorded during pauses. Shared readings expire when their source data becomes stale.
2.1

A clearer workout history, with better cards and sounds

  • Redesigned workout history and details around readable charts, prominent statistics, heart-rate zones, and sets.
  • Share cards use white by default, with red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet accents available in the card editor.
  • Added heart-rate threshold tones, spoken zone alerts, work/rest interval bells, and a sound when an HRV measurement completes.
  • Refined Live Activities and the confirmation shown after saving a workout.
  • Made AI voice controls and privacy explanations clearer.
2.0.13

Voice notes, share cards, and workout recovery

  • Record up to 60 seconds of workout notes and turn them into an editable title and exercise-by-exercise description. The first upload asks for explicit permission to send the recording to OpenAI.
  • Share a workout as a chart card, stats card, plain-text summary, or detailed JSON log. Customize card titles and fields before exporting.
  • Edit the title and description of a workout after saving it.
  • Resume a workout ended by accident, or include recent heart-rate readings when starting one. Time spent reviewing an ended workout is excluded when you resume.
  • Improved timer layouts, workout controls, chart readability, and navigation between share cards.
  • Added an AI voice permission reset in Settings and updated the privacy explanations. Manual workout notes remain available without AI.
2.0.12

Updated controls and more adaptable layouts

  • Adopted the latest native iOS controls and navigation while keeping compatible controls on older iOS versions.
  • Improved large-text support, VoiceOver labels, touch targets, and entry of a friend’s sharing code.
  • Fixed clipped HRV layouts on narrow screens. Expanded workout charts adapt to portrait and landscape, and iPad layouts use the available space.
  • Saving a workout returns you Home, with save confirmation and Apple Health sync status preserved.
2.0.11

Readable Lock Screen and Dynamic Island timers

  • Fixed overlapping heart rate and elapsed time in Lock Screen Live Activities.
  • Corrected an oversized Dynamic Island layout. Timers have room for hours and remain aligned when paused.
  • Improved landscape layouts for workouts and HRV.
2.0.10

More reliable HRV recordings and workout timing

  • Strengthened checks for interrupted or incomplete HRV measurements. A recording with missing or invalid beat data is rejected instead of producing a result.
  • Improved heart-rate recording, workout and cooldown timing, and pause handling.
  • Corrected saved workout statistics and made the confirmation for logging a set clearer.
