💓 Record Heartbeat

Eternal Vault uses heartbeats to know you’re active and in control. Sending a heartbeat is simple and can be done in multiple ways:

1. Record a Heartbeat from the App

On your heartbeat page, just click the Record button. This instantly lets Eternal Vault know you’re active and resets your check-in timer.

2. Automate Heartbeats with API

You can automate sending heartbeats using our simple API. This is perfect for power users, developers, or anyone who wants to integrate heartbeats into their existing workflows.
