BPal — A Blood Pressure Log That Stays Simple
Record each reading in seconds, watch the pattern build, and hand your doctor something they can actually read.
BPal is a private blood pressure app for iPhone. Enter the numbers from your own monitor, or import them over Bluetooth or from Apple Health, and let the app do the organising.
- Log systolic, diastolic and pulse with a large keypad — no menus to dig through
- Tag every reading by context and arm, so the pattern means something later
- Export a PDF or CSV for your appointment, with a chart and a full readings table
Download BPal Free
BPal is free to download on iOS 17 and above. Log your readings, follow the trend and share a report — no account, no sign-up, nothing uploaded to us.

See BPal in Action
Your dashboard at a glance: the last reading, which category it falls into, and how the week is going.
One screen, three numbers. Large buttons mean you can log a reading without hunting for anything.
Every reading in one list, colour-coded and labelled with the context and tags you gave it.
Trend lines with the category boundaries drawn in, plus how your readings are distributed across the bands.
A report built for an appointment: the summary first, the full table behind it, and the definitions explained.
Pair a Bluetooth cuff or connect Apple Health, and readings arrive without any typing at all.
Your last reading on the Home Screen and on your wrist — the widget works on the free plan too.
How BPal Works
Log the reading in seconds
Take your systolic, diastolic and pulse from your own monitor and enter them with the large keypad. Add the context — morning, evening, before or after medication — and tag which arm you used. Logged a reading earlier and forgot? Change the time and add it now.
Or let your cuff and Apple Health do it
Pair a monitor that speaks the standard Bluetooth Blood Pressure Profile, or one of the supported Omron models, and import what it has stored. BPal also reads blood pressure, heart rate and weight from Apple Health, and filters out readings you already have.
See the pattern, not just the numbers
Charts plot systolic and diastolic against the category boundaries, show how your readings are distributed across the bands, and separate your morning averages from your evening ones. Pulse and MAP get their own sparklines underneath.
Hand your doctor a real report
Pick a date range, choose what to include, and export a PDF with a statistics summary, a distribution bar, a trend chart and the full readings table — or a CSV if they would rather have the raw data.

Read guideFrequently Asked Questions
Does BPal measure my blood pressure?
No. BPal is not a blood pressure monitor and does not measure anything. It records and organises the readings you take with your own cuff, charts them and turns them into a report. A phone has no way to measure blood pressure. Learn more
How do I log a reading?
Tap the centre button and enter systolic, diastolic and pulse on the large keypad. Add the context — morning, evening, before or after medication — and tag the arm and position. You can backdate a reading you took earlier. Learn more
Which blood pressure categories does it use?
Two published standards, selectable in Settings: AHA/ACC 2025 with Normal, Elevated, Stage 1 and Stage 2, or ESC 2024 with Non-elevated, Elevated and Hypertension. Both are named in full so you always know which thresholds you are seeing. Learn more
What should I do about a very high reading?
BPal flags readings where systolic is over 180 or diastolic is over 120, because published guidance treats that range as needing prompt attention. If you record one, or you have symptoms such as chest pain or trouble speaking, contact emergency services. Learn more
Can I connect my Bluetooth blood pressure monitor?
Yes. Monitors using the standard Bluetooth Blood Pressure Profile are supported, along with several Omron models that use their own protocol. Readings that duplicate ones you already have are filtered out automatically. Learn more
Does it work with Apple Health?
With your permission it reads blood pressure, heart rate and weight from Apple Health, and writes blood pressure and heart rate back. Weight is read only. You can change or revoke these permissions in iOS Settings at any time. Learn more
How do I share my readings with my doctor?
Export a PDF or CSV from the Reports tab. Choose a date range and what to include; the PDF leads with a statistics summary and a distribution bar, followed by the full readings table and a page of definitions. Learn more
Where is my data stored?
On your device. BPal needs no account and your readings are not uploaded to our servers. If you turn on Apple Health sync, those records are managed by Apple under your own iCloud Health settings.
