Pulse is a unified health data aggregator that pulls data from Garmin Connect and Intervals.icu into a local SQLite database, then surfaces actionable insights through a Rust CLI. It computes a daily vitality score — a weighted composite of sleep, recovery, activity, stress, and fitness — so you can track your long-term health trajectory without trusting a vendor dashboard.
- Sync data from Garmin Connect (sleep, heart rate, HRV, VO2 max, Body Battery, steps, stress, strength exercise sets) and Intervals.icu (workouts, weight, body fat, fitness and fatigue)
- Vitality score — weighted daily composite with configurable targets
- Fitness scoring — VO2 max percentiles (Shvartz & Reinbold norms) + FFMI from lean body mass
- Raw data tables — sleep, heart rate, recovery, activity, stress, workouts, wellness;
--wideshows every stored column - Machine-readable output —
--format <table|json|toon|ison>on all data commands;--jsonis shorthand for--format json, and TOON and ISON are compact formats that suit LLM input - Date ranges —
--days N, or--fromand--to(YYYY-MM-DD) for a fixed range, on every data command andsync - TUI — planned interactive terminal dashboard
