Peak Frequency — HRV Resonance Breath Pacer

Precision cardiovascular resonance frequency breath pacer for Garmin smartwatches.

The app is available for free in the Garmin Connect IQ App Store.

The source code is not open sourced yet.


Overview

Peak Frequency is a precision breathwork and heart rate variability (HRV) biofeedback application built for Garmin wearables. It implements the gold-standard 2-round assessment protocol developed by Dr. Paul Lehrer and modern physiological research (Hasuo et al., 2023; Vaschillo et al., 2006) to identify your unique cardiovascular resonance frequency to within 0.12 BPM.

At your individual resonance frequency:

  • Respiration and heart rate oscillations align in 0° phase synchrony.
  • Heart Rate Variability (Delta HR / RSA amplitude) is maximized.
  • Baroreflex sensitivity reaches peak gain.

Key Highlights

  • Personalized Anatomical Starting Point: Centers coarse frequency search using height and sex estimates (Hasuo et al., 2023).
  • 2-Round Bracketed Protocol: Coarse assessment followed by fine-tuning at $\pm 0.12$ BPM precision.
  • Somatic Cues: Direct, intuitive breath prompts to prevent hyperventilation and promote diaphragmatic breathing.
  • Motion Guardrails: Onboard 3-axis accelerometer monitoring alerts you to stay still during calibration intervals.
  • Standalone On-Device Execution: Completely autonomous on your Garmin watch with standard FIT session and continuous RR-interval recording.
