About this app

Inner Balance™ gets your heart, mind, and emotions in sync for greater calm, focus, and a more balanced you in everyday life.

HEARTMATH® SENSOR REQUIRED: This is the companion app to the Inner Balance sensor. This app requires any of the HeartMath Inner Balance sensors (e.g. Bluetooth® or the Inner Balance USB-C sensor), which connects to your phone and clips to your earlobe to pick up your heart-rhythm pattern.

Don’t have an Inner Balance sensor? You can purchase a sensor at https://store.heartmath.com/innerbalance.

Inner Balance is a system of software and sensor that helps you strengthen your inner balance through training, guidance, and self-observation. It supports you in bringing your heart, mind, and emotions into a balanced, focused state (coherence), which you create yourself through calm breathing and positive focus. More than 400 independent, peer-reviewed studies have been published on HeartMath technologies and methods. Inner Balance gives you a real-time coherence score as feedback, and guided meditations and dynamic graphics support you toward a calmer, more centered, and more focused state.

The HeartMath technology is for stress education and resilience training. It is not a medical device. We encourage you to consult a health professional before making any medical decisions.

LEARN HOW TO:
• Bring your heart, mind, and body into a calm, balanced state in the moment
• Settle reactive emotions and manage everyday stress
• Feel calmer, more centered, and more focused
• Access clearer thinking to support better everyday decisions

Just five minutes of coherence practice, three times a day, fits easily into your routine. Inner Balance guides you and tracks your progress as you shift your state and watch the changes occur in real time.

FEATURES:
• HRV coherence feedback: a real-time score guides your practice
• Guided meditations to support relaxation, focus, and a better wind-down before sleep
• Real-time coaching tips with encouraging on-screen prompts
• Advanced options: four challenge levels, customizable settings and screens
• Access to a free cloud platform to save and review all your sessions and get tips and training

WHAT REGULAR COHERENCE PRACTICE CAN SUPPORT:
• A calmer way of handling everyday stress
• More focus and mental clarity, even under pressure
• Shifting more quickly into a state of calm and balance
• Quieting the mind and letting go of racing thoughts
• Strengthening inner resilience and recovering more quickly
• Training coordination and reaction time for athletes
• Complementing your own meditation practice

HOW TO CONNECT YOUR INNER BALANCE APP TO THE SENSOR
Inner Balance Bluetooth sensor: clip the sensor to your earlobe and press the soft button on the sensor pod to activate a blue flashing light. Open the app and press the “Start” arrow to scan for the sensor. When your sensor ID appears and matches the number on the back of the pod, tap to accept and wait 15–20 seconds for calibration.

Inner Balance USB-C sensor: clip the sensor to your earlobe and plug the USB-C sensor into your Android device. Accept the prompt to open the app, then press the “Start” arrow to begin your first session.

Constly crashes. Why is this even running in the system at all if I'm not using it? Also every time I run it a directory called 'baidu' appears in the root of the the file system. Some online messages say this is a Trojan. I really expected higher quality from Heart Math Instatute. Makes everything else suspect. Also Bluetooth is temperamental when I have no problem with be any other device. Uninstalled...

Not a Trojan and the issue with the 'baidu' notifications should be resolved. Please let us know if you are still experiencing any issues with this. Call us at (800) 450-9111 or email to support@heartmath.com. We'll be standing by. Regards, the HeartMath Team

I've been using inner balance for nearly a year now and I find it extremely inconsistent. For instance, if I'm following the breath meter to a T, then why on Earth would it dip into red from a series of green, high coherence? If I'm focused on the breath, why would it suggest I'm not breathing correctly? I am starting to find I have a better practice without the app to be honest and feel less self-conscious about what I'm doing. My breath can't be incorrect when it's deep and consistent.

I find the app to have some flaws and inconsistencies. If I follow the instructions with my breathing and focus, I'll often dip into the red. Yet if I'm distracted, ruminating, or thinking about something anxiety-inducing, it stays consistently green. Seems random. I wish there was a pause option and an option to adjust settings mid-session. There seems to be an issue with the rewards feature. Overall, I'm not sure I'm feeling any positive changes.

Some find it helpful to practice Quick Coherence first for a minute without the device - then attach it. That way you can ease into coherence without thinking about performance. Once you are used to the device, you may find it helpful in coaching you to refine your coherence. Check out the (free) HeartMath Experience program to practice.
