Hi, I’m Marcus Raitner — an indie developer rebuilding my craft through iOS development and open-source work.

I created Pulse, a privacy-first micro-journal for iPhone, to help people capture their days quickly and reflect with more clarity. Pulse is built around simple ideas: low friction, thoughtful design, and full user ownership of data. No tracking, no ads, no unnecessary complexity.

I share Pulse openly under MIT and build in public so others can learn with me, contribute, and shape where the app goes next. Sponsorship helps me dedicate more consistent time to improving Pulse, shipping features faster, maintaining quality, and continuing to create calm, useful software for real life.

If this resonates with you, I’d be grateful for your support.
