Pust Focus FAQ
Common questions about Pust Focus breathing app for iPhone and Apple Watch.
Getting Started
How do haptic pulses guide my breathing?
Pust Focus uses gentle haptic pulses to signal each phase of your breath. Feel a pulse at the start of each inhale, hold, and exhale. Match your breath to the rhythm without watching the screen.
Which breathing technique should I start with?
Box Breathing (4-4-4-4) is a great starting point. It's balanced, easy to follow, and effective for focus and calm. Once comfortable, explore other techniques for specific goals.
Apple Watch
How do I install the Watch app?
After installing Pust Focus on your iPhone, open the Watch app and scroll to "Available Apps". Tap Install next to Pust Focus. The app will sync to your Watch automatically.
Can I use the Watch app without my iPhone?
Yes! The Watch app works standalone. Your presets sync via iCloud, so you can start a session directly on your Watch even when your iPhone isn't nearby.
How do I control a Watch session from my iPhone?
When a session is active on your Watch, open Pust Focus on your iPhone. You'll see "Active Session on Watch" with controls to stop, pause, or adjust haptic feedback. Your heart rate from the Watch is displayed in real-time.
HealthKit & Permissions
What health data does Pust Focus access?
Pust Focus reads your heart rate during Watch sessions and saves completed sessions as Mindfulness Minutes to Apple Health. All health data stays on your device.
How do I enable HealthKit access?
When you first complete a session, Pust Focus will ask for HealthKit permission. You can also go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Health > Pust Focus to manage access.
How do I revoke HealthKit access?
Open Settings > Privacy & Security > Health > Pust Focus. Toggle off any data types you want to restrict. The app will continue to work without HealthKit access.

Troubleshooting
Haptics aren't working
Check that haptics are enabled in Pust Focus settings. Also verify your device's System Haptics are on (Settings > Sounds & Haptics). Try increasing haptic intensity in the preset settings.
Watch isn't syncing presets
Make sure both devices are signed into the same iCloud account and iCloud is enabled for Pust Focus. Try force-quitting and reopening the app on both devices.
Session isn't saving to Health
Verify HealthKit permissions are enabled for Pust Focus. Sessions under 1 minute may not be saved. Check the Health app > Browse > Mindfulness to see saved sessions.
