Help & FAQ

Support

Tidal Qi connects to compatible wearable chest-band sensors via Bluetooth. The app will show available hardware in Settings → Devices. Without hardware, you can still browse the reference library and review past sessions.

Go to the Profile tab → tap your name → scroll to the bottom and choose "Reset Data." This clears locally cached session data. Cloud-synced data can be deleted by contacting support below.

Session waveforms are processed on-device. If you sign in, anonymized summaries (rate, variability scores) are synced to secure cloud storage for cross-device access. Raw sensor streams are never uploaded. See our Privacy Policy below for full details.

Try these steps in order:

  1. Ensure Bluetooth is on and Location permission is granted for the app.
  2. Place the sensor within 1 m of your phone.
  3. Force-quit Tidal Qi and reopen it.
  4. Restart Bluetooth on your iPhone (toggle in Control Center).
