Pulse

Privacy-first browsing analytics

Pulse shows you where your attention actually goes online — a private, per-device log of active time by site and category, with no scores, streaks, or judgment attached to it. HOW IT WORKS • Sign in, and Pulse starts timing the tab you're actually using in the foreground of a focused Chrome window — nothing is recorded before you sign in, and nothing is recorded in Incognito. • The toolbar popup shows today's total, a breakdown by category (Dev, Work, Social, News, and more), and your top sites for the day. • Pause tracking with one click at any time — the popup makes it obvious when tracking is paused and nothing is being recorded. • Exclude any domain in two clicks directly from the popup. Excluding a domain excludes all of its subdomains, and the exclusion applies before anything is stored or synced — never after the fact. • Sign in from more than one computer and Pulse keeps each device's activity separate, so you can see time per device or combined. • Optionally get a native notification when a new insight about your own activity is ready (e.g. a shift in your weekly pattern) — this is opt-in from your account settings. WHAT PULSE NEVER DOES • No content scripts and no host permissions — Pulse cannot read the text, images, or form data on any page you visit. • No page content, screenshots, keystrokes, clicks, or mouse tracking. • No background-tab tracking — only the one tab in the foreground of the one focused window counts. • No team, manager, or admin view. A Pulse account is for one person. Pulse is a personal analytics tool, not a workplace monitoring product — it's built to answer "where did my time go?" honestly, for the person using it, and nothing else.
