Release list
Pulse 0.1.29
- A Connections page, after Processes, lists each connection of each
app on a Mac, as Sniffnet does: its host, named by the DNS, its
service (HTTPS, QUIC, DNS, SSH…), TCP or UDP, its state, latency,
rates and what it received and sent. It sorts and searches, and Enter
shows its process. The sidebar counts those open. - The Network page shows the hosts the Mac talks to, by domain, and the
services it talks to them by, each with what it carried and the app
carrying the most; a click shows their connections. - The services macOS runs for an app, as Metal's shader compiler, show
as the system's, with its gear rather than the app's icon, and the
inspector says what they are. - ⌘3 and the keys after it each choose the page after the one they did,
as Connections comes third.
Pulse 0.1.28
- Pulse measures the computer from launch, so its window opens on what
it shows rather than a spinner: the first rates take a quarter of a
second to measure, at the window's opening. - Cleanup removes what tools unpack into read-only folders, such as the
apps dotslash keeps in its cache: it said permission was denied for
each of their files.
Pulse 0.1.27
- As Cleanup cleans, a wave of green runs through its panel: each light
of what it frees turns green as that goes, glows a moment and goes out. - Cleanup finds temporary files on a Mac and Linux: it looked for them
only on Windows. - Pulse checks for a new version soon after every launch: it waited a
day after the last check, so reopening it within a day never showed a
version released since.
Pulse 0.1.26
- Cleanup, a page finding what the computer can make again and removing
what you choose: apps' caches, logs, temporary files unchanged for three
days, Xcode's builds, package managers' downloads and the Trash. It
scans in a couple of seconds, leaves the caches of apps running alone,
and never follows a link out of the folders it cleans. It scans on
three threads at a low priority, after whatever you are doing. - Cleanup finds git worktrees Claude Code, Codex and other tools made,
and removes those with nothing to commit with git, keeping their
branches; Claude Code's and Codex's sessions over a month old;
installers in Downloads; and pnpm's store. Homebrew's, pip's, Swift's
and Go's caches show among the package managers'. - On Windows, closing the window hides Pulse to the tray, which shows it
again, rather than quitting it; opening Pulse again shows it too. With
no items in the tray, closing quits as before. - On Windows, the tray icon shows white on a dark taskbar, where it was
black and barely visible.
Pulse 0.1.25
- On a Mac, a menu bar panel stays readable over a dark window: its
translucent material went dark behind the light appearance's text.
Pulse 0.1.24
- On a Mac, a menu bar panel is translucent in Pulse's own light or dark
appearance, with rounded corners and no arrow: the popover it was went
gray over a dark window, and its arrow kept the color of what was
behind it. A click on its item closes it again.
Pulse 0.1.23
- On a Mac, a menu bar panel stays light, or dark in Dark Mode, over
whatever window is behind it: over a dark one its text was hard to read.
Pulse 0.1.22
- On a Mac, Settings > General chooses whether Pulse leaves the Dock when
its window closes while items are in the menu bar. It does by default,
as before.
Pulse 0.1.21
- On a Mac, each measure is an item of its own in the menu bar, as iStat
Menus shows them: CPU & GPU, memory, disk, network and temperature.
CPU and memory show by default; Settings > Menu Bar chooses the others,
whether they show their names, whether their lights are in their
measure's colors, and how CPU and memory look: a meter, a graph, their
value, or a gauge spelling their name down. - A click on an item opens its panel: the value now over its chart of the
last minute, its figures, the apps and programs using the most of it,
and buttons to its page and the settings. The CPU's shows the GPU's
use, memory, temperature and clock, then the processor's cores as
rings, its load and the uptime. On Apple silicon the GPU's clock comes
from IOReport and its temperature from the SMC's sensors. - Windows and Linux show the measures in one item, whose panel chooses
the measure at its top. - Pulse can open at login, starting in the background without its window.
On a Mac it leaves the Dock once its window closes while items are in
the menu bar, which open the window again. - The settings are a window of their own, as tall as the tab it shows,
with tabs in its toolbar; its button moved to the sidebar's foot, with
a gear. - Charts' tooltips paint above what follows them, a menu bar panel keeps
the height of the tab it shows as it switches, and on Windows the
settings window opens in front of the main window.
Pulse 0.1.20
- The item that shows a file in its folder, in a process's or an app's
menu and in the inspectors, names the computer's file manager now:
File Explorer on Windows, the file manager on Linux, and Finder on a
Mac.
