How Pulse Works
Pulse is a local-first desktop workspace for people who want to build with AI while keeping their project context close. It brings chat, code editing, live preview, voice, and local memory together so you can work through an idea without switching between disconnected tools.
What you get
- The Pulse desktop application for macOS and Windows.
- A one-time Pulse license for $39 with no monthly Pulse subscription.
- A focused workspace for chatting, editing code, checking a live preview, using voice, and preserving useful local project context.
- Download instructions delivered by email after checkout.
How AI provider access works
Pulse is the workspace, not an AI-model subscription. You connect the supported AI providers you want to use with your own API keys. Provider access and usage are billed separately by those providers through your own accounts.
Where your workspace context lives
Pulse is designed to keep conversations and project context locally on your computer. When you choose to use a connected AI provider, that provider handles the request according to the account and service you connect.
Who Pulse is for
Pulse is designed for beginners, vibecoders, and independent developers who want a calmer way to move from an idea to a local project they can inspect and refine, without being locked into a single model ecosystem or another monthly workspace subscription.
Before you buy
- Make sure you use macOS or Windows.
- Have an account and API key for the supported AI provider or providers you plan to connect.
- Understand that AI-provider usage costs are separate from the $39 Pulse purchase.
- Look for the download instructions email after checkout.
