Meet PulseWaves: a local-first, open-source procedural audio generator written in Rust. No loops, no cloud tracking—just 100% real-time soundscapes tailored across 5 neuro-acoustic modes and 9 native textures. Powered by your HRV, it codes perfect states for deep focus or deep rest. Zero lag, zero battery drain. Open, sync, and breathe.

Hi Product Hunt community! 👋
I’m Walther, the creator behind PulseWaves.
Like many of you, I spend hours glued to my screen coding and designing. For years, my go-to for deep focus was streaming Lo-Fi channels or noise apps. But I noticed two things that bothered me: they constantly drained my battery, and my brain eventually got tired of the same repeating audio loops, breaking my concentration.
That’s why I decided to build a high-performance solution from scratch under a local-first philosophy.
PulseWaves is not an audio player; it’s a fully native, procedural synthesizer written in Rust that calculates every note, textmode visual, and frequency transition in real-time, directly on your device. No internet required, zero cloud tracking, and almost no battery overhead.
Whether you need to smash a heavy coding session, take a precise power nap, or just wind down, PulseWaves is built to adapt to your mind.
I’d love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or any ideas on how you customize your focus environment. Thank you so much for the support!

Curious how it actually pulls HRV data locally without needing a paired wearable or some extra bridge app—does it read from the webcam or expect a specific device?

@ouzmguh hi, the HRV expect the data from health connect or BLE by default

How does it actually pull HRV data - is it pairing over Bluetooth with something like a Whoop or Apple Watch, or do you need a separate sensor?
Switched between the focus and rest modes on my laptop, and the textures actually felt distinct instead of generic noise. Love that it just runs locally without phoning home, makes it easy to throw on for a long work session.

The Rust build feels snappy on my laptop, and the focus mode with the rain texture genuinely helped me settle into a writing session without my usual distractions.

The Rust foundation is a really smart call here, getting that kind of low-latency performance without eating battery is no small feat. Love that it leans into HRV for real personalization instead of just slapping an AI label on it.

Rust audio engine with HRV-driven soundscapes is a really compelling combo, and the local-first angle makes it feel snappy on my machine.

@nihaln20560 yes is paring by BLE
