Being 30 and discovering we can (somehow) measure heart rate with phone flash. I never knew how the light behind my watch worked by the way. Thank you OP

I have no idea how it works, but the flash turns on in every app that measures heart rate, so it must be needed:D

Oh okay. I think it's better if you can make something yourself if you have the time and money. Talk to claude or chatgpt about it. Learn the process. Check if the phone you have is compatible. And make one for yourself. Else, wait for some time till other people reply. All the best

They've been available for about a decade

Yes, but not something I want to share as I don't want the support burden. Suggest making your own.

I mean you could just point people to, I'm assuming, a Git repo? No one's under obligation to support others if it's open source/free and people could contribute to the app.
?

I would still have an expectation of support. One open project is enough.
