What Pulse does

Three things. On your device.

  • Talk to your notes.

    Write in plain markdown on Windows or Android. Ask Pulse to summarize, search, or link them.

  • Bring your own AI model.

    Connect any local model that runs on your machine. Pulse does not lock you to a provider.

  • Everything stays on your device.

    Your notes, your chats, and your model never leave the computer or phone you installed Pulse on.

Chat

Talk to a local model. From your tray.

Pulse opens with a global hotkey, lives in the system tray, and talks to any model you have running on the machine — gemma, llama, qwen, mistral. Chat history stays in a local file.

Routing

Six routing modes. One model swap.

Each prompt takes a different path: short answers, code edits, planning, vision, tests. The pill you pick routes the next round through a different model or prompt — without re-installing anything.

How routing works  →
Auto

Pulse reads the prompt and picks the best mode for the next round — short answer, planning, code, or vision. Override with a pill any time; Pulse remembers the choice for the rest of the conversation.

Voice

Hold to talk. Text lands in the input.

Hold the mic, speak, release. Pulse runs speech-to-text locally, the transcript lands in the composer, and you can edit before sending. No upload, no cloud STT.
