that gets it.

Your Garmin sees beer-league night and calls it "workout." RinkPulse sees shifts, bench, ice time, work/rest, HR zones, and, if you're between the pipes, saves and goals against.

No button-pressing every shift. Start the game. Play. Stop it after.

01 / WHAT IT DOES

The stats your watch should've been
giving you all along.

01

Auto Shift Detection

Bench vs. ice, picked up from skating motion and short heart-rate context. No tapping after every shift.

02

Shift Count + Avg

How many you took, how long they were, and whether the third period got ugly.

03

Ice Time / Bench Time

Real numbers, not just active duration. See how much of the game you actually played.

04

Work / Rest Ratio

The single most useful number for not gassing yourself in the third.

05

HR Zones

Time in each zone across the whole game and on a per-shift basis.

06

Goalie Mode

Tap saves and goals against from the watch. Save % at the buzzer.

02 / BUILT FOR

Made for people who actually play.

04 / NOT YET

Things it doesn't do
(being honest).

It's a side project. I ship between shifts. One dev, one rink bag.
05 / QUESTIONS

Frequently asked,
honestly answered.

Which Garmin watches work?
A wide set of Forerunner, fenix, Instinct, Venu, vivoactive, epix, Enduro, MARQ, D2, Descent, and Approach watches that support Connect IQ watch apps. If your watch can install third-party Connect IQ apps, it may be supported.
How does it know I'm on the bench?
Motion, speed/distance evidence when available, and short heart-rate context. It is not perfect, especially on weird bench changes or short shifts, but the goal is no button pressing every shift.
Do I need the Android app?
No. The watch works standalone and shows you your stats post-game. The Android app is for keeping a session history and looking at HR/shift charts on a bigger screen.
iPhone? Apple Watch?
Not yet. Possibly. No promise on timing. It's a side project.
How much?
Free right now. No ads. No account. Premium purchase is not live.
