Pulse: Your Micro-Journal

No subscription, no clutter — honest moments, captured in seconds. Now free & open source.

Your pulse, your day, your journal.

Pulse is intentionally kept lean: no subscription, no cluttered interface — just you, a moment, and an honest read on how you're actually doing. Free and open source.

HOW IT WORKS

• Capture moments: a short thought, a rating from −2 (bad) to +2 (good), optional tags and location. Done in seconds.

• Reflect on your day: wrap up each evening with your own metrics like sleep, deep work, exercise, or family time. A rotating reflection question gets you started.

• Discover patterns: daily and weekly views show you what lifts you up — and what doesn't. Good days have reasons.

• AI coach: on request, Apple Intelligence analyzes your entries and surfaces insights about your patterns — running entirely on your iPhone, no cloud.

YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS

Everything lives on your iPhone and in your private iCloud. No tracking, no ads, no accounts. The full source code is public on GitHub. Export to JSON anytime.

WHO IS PULSE FOR?

For everyone who has failed at classic journaling: no long entries, no pressure, no streak guilt. A micro-journal that fits your life — not the other way around.

Questions or ideas? Pulse is actively developed — your feedback shapes the roadmap.
