Your Mac's Dynamic Island
Music, meetings, clipboard, weather, focus timers, AI tools and an AirDrop shelf. One glance up.
Free for 7 days. No card, no account.
Live widgets for music, meetings, clipboard, notes, a camera, a colour picker, weather, focus sessions, devices, system stats, AI tools and an AirDrop shelf, living inside a beautiful island around your notch. And a cleaner menu bar.
Jot something down without leaving what you are doing. Bold, lists, links and images, from a toolbar or the shortcuts you already know. Pin the notes you need at the top and click one to copy it. Every note stays on your Mac.
Check your hair before a call, then keep the shot. Photos or video, with a countdown, and your last twelve in a Gallery tab. The camera is on only while the card is open, so the green light never lingers.
Drag through shades and hues, type a hex, or take any colour off the screen. See how it reads on white and black, copy it as HEX, RGB or HSL in one click, and find your last twelve colours waiting.
Hold ⌘ and drag the icons you rarely need to the left of the ‹ and they tuck away. Click the ‹ and they come back in a row under the bar, each one clickable. Off by default, and it asks for no permission to hide them.
Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, Qobuz, Podcasts, VLC, any app that plays. Artwork, scrubbing, volume and an output picker in the island.
Your script in the notch, a line at a time, directly under the lens — so you read it and still look people in the eye. Set your pace in words per minute and the card tells you how much longer you are talking for. Paste it, type it, or open a Word, RTF or PDF file.
A New chat button on the AI tools card opens a prompt field in the island. Type a thought, or press the mic and say it, and it lands in Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor and sends. A shortcut opens it from any app, so the window hunting is gone.
A heads-up in the island before each meeting, a Join button that knows Teams, Zoom, Meet and Webex, and a calendar you can look around: today's agenda, the week as a list, or a month with any day's events beside it.
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.
Apple Reminders, two ways: tick things done with a click anywhere on the row, and capture new ones from the notch. Type “pay rent tomorrow 5pm” and the date is understood, shown as a chip, and saved with a real alarm.
Current conditions, the hours ahead and the next four days. No key, no account. Turn it off and Pulse stops asking for forecasts entirely.
CPU history, GPU, memory pressure, network and disk throughput. Choose your tiles; the card resizes.
iPhone, Apple Watch, AirPods and Magic peripherals: connection state, batteries and charging bolts.
Timed work sessions with short and long breaks between them, on a ring that breathes. Start, pause and skip without leaving the notch.
When you're on a call, the island becomes your meeting bar: mute, camera and leave, right at the top of the screen instead of buried under windows.
Drag files at the notch and choose where they land: the AirDrop container sends the moment you let go, the Shelf holds the pile until you need it somewhere else.
Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex and Grok: who's running, who's actually working, the model in use and the session's tokens. Read from your Mac alone. Nothing is contacted.
GitHub Actions and GitLab CI in the wings, a toast the moment something fails, and your local dev servers in their own lane: found automatically, opened with a click, stopped with one more.
The next widgets on the bench, shaped by your feedback.
An orange dot breathes on the island whenever something outside a call holds your microphone or camera. Click it and Pulse names the app and takes you straight there.
The delivery inching closer, the cab arriving, the flight boarding: your iPhone's Live Activities, mirrored to the notch so you glance up, not down.
Browser downloads as a live activity: progress in the wing, and the finished file waiting on the shelf instead of buried in a folder.
Pin your macOS Shortcuts as island buttons. Toggle the VPN, start a recording or run your morning script from the top of the screen.
The island reshapes with your macOS Focus mode: Work leads with calendar and stats, Personal leads with music, Do Not Disturb quiets every toast.
From the Product Hunt launch, in their own words.
Native Swift, no account, history that dies with the process. This is put together the way I wish more Mac utilities were.
The clipboard card is the clever bit for me. Showing a color swatch, image thumbnail, or cleaned host instead of raw clipboard text makes the notch feel genuinely useful.
This is a clever use of space that normally just sits there doing nothing… The clipboard previews and meeting countdown are the two parts I’d probably use most.
The clipboard filtering by type is the detail that jumps out, most clipboard managers just give you a flat scrollable list and you end up hunting for the one thing you copied ten items ago.
I really like the copy history functionality… The UI looks great, and I like the way everything is categorised as well.
The memory-only clipboard history with the ConcealedType skip is a genuinely good default, not just a privacy footnote.
I really like how you handle clipboard categorization.
Everything Pulse shows you is read on your device and kept there. Your clipboard, your files, your schedule. No servers, no tracking, no accounts. None of it leaves your Mac.
Build commands back from clipboard history, OTPs called out on copy, and CPU charts while the tests run.
Music in your peripheral vision, screenshots a glance away, and a shelf for the assets you're juggling.
A countdown that keeps you honest and a Join button that knows Teams, Zoom, Meet and Webex.
Every player, one island. Artwork tints, scrubbing and volume without surfacing a single window.
Todos, timers and the day's schedule staged in the notch. Momentum without app-switching.
Weather before you leave, battery before it bites, and your AirPods' charge before the commute.
No windows, no shortcuts to memorize. The island answers to the trackpad you already know.
Scroll down on the island and it blooms open into the full card.
Scroll sideways to slide between music, meetings, stats and more.
Rest the pointer on the notch for a quiet glance. No click needed.
Click to keep a card open while you work. Click again to let go.
Pulse is built the way Apple would build it: springs over fades, glances over windows, restraint over noise.
One download, ten seconds, and the dead pixels at the top of your screen start earning their keep. Free for 7 days.
