Records Raw Data – Capture signals such as ECG, PPG, and heart rate from Polar sensors
Supports All Polar Devices – Compatible with all Polar hardware capable of streaming raw data (tested with H10, H7, and OH1+)
Flexible Data Storage – Save recordings to a file for offline analysis
Live Data Streaming – Transmit data in real-time via MQTT
Resilient – Auto-reconnects on connection failures and continues the recording
Fully Open Source – Developed with transparency and collaboration in mind

Installing

Polar Recorder is available on the Play Store. You can also download the APK directly from the Releases section and install it manually on your device.
