Your Mac's Dynamic Island
A living island

Pulse turns the dead pixels around your MacBook's notch into live widgets: music, meetings, clipboard, weather, focus timers, devices and system stats. One glance up.

AnnouncementThank you — and Pulse 1.0
Thank you — and Pulse 1.0
goes public this weekend.
You made Pulse #10 globally on Product Hunt. You downloaded it, broke it, told us what needed work, and sent bug reports at 2am. Every one of those shaped the app. So the beta stays free a few days longer — now until 2 August.
Signed & notarized
Apple has notarized Pulse, so it installs without the “Apple could not verify this app” dialog. Download, drag, done.
New widgets on board
Focus sessions, a paged clipboard history, weather, live system stats, device batteries and a shelf in your notch.
Shaped by your feedback
The rough edges you flagged during the beta are the ones we spent the last few weeks sanding down.
Download before 2 August and you keep founder status when 1.0 ships — that was the deal, and we're honoring it. See what's landing.
Everything useful,
one glance away.
Live widgets for music, meetings, clipboard, weather, focus, todos, system stats and more, living inside a beautiful island around your notch.

A clipboard that knows what you copied
Copy a hex and see the swatch. Copy a screenshot and see the thumbnail. Copy a link and see the host, not the tracking. Filter by type, click any row to copy it back.

the last 4 pixels.
Pulse is built the way Apple would build it: springs over fades, glances over windows, restraint over noise.
Cascade entrancesCard content reveals element by element, 55 ms apart.
Artwork-tinted accentsThe equalizer and scrubber take the album's own color.
Rolling numbersTime, battery and countdowns tick. They never repaint.
Notch-band headersTitles live in the wings beside the hardware cutout.
