Get Pulse for Windows

Pick your installer. NSIS for personal, MSI for managed, portable for no install.

Get Pulse for Android

Universal APK. Sideload on any Android 8.0+ device. No Play Store account required.

Build Pulse for macOS from source

No signed .dmg is published — Apple notarization requires a developer account. Build the unsigned .app and .dmg yourself from the same Tauri v2 source that ships on Windows.

# 1. install Rust + Node 22
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
brew install node@22

# 2. clone & install deps
git clone https://github.com/TimesNuRoman/pulse.git
cd pulse && pnpm install

# 3. build the .app + .dmg
pnpm --filter @pulse/desktop tauri build --bundles app,dmg

# 4. install (Gatekeeper warns on first run; right-click → Open clears it)
cp -R src-tauri/target/release/bundle/macos/Pulse.app /Applications/

Build Pulse for Linux from source

No prebuilt .deb or .AppImage is published yet. Build the Tauri v2 source against your distro. WebKit2GTK + GTK3 are required.

# 1. system deps (Debian / Ubuntu — Fedora uses dnf/yum)
sudo apt install -y libwebkit2gtk-4.1-dev build-essential curl wget file libxdo-dev libssl-dev libayatana-appindicator3-dev librsvg2-dev

# 2. install Rust + Node 22
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
sudo apt install -y nodejs npm && sudo npm i -g pnpm

# 3. clone & build
git clone https://github.com/TimesNuRoman/pulse.git
cd pulse && pnpm install
pnpm --filter @pulse/desktop tauri build --bundles deb,appimage

Pulse is not on iOS

Two structural blockers: App Store policy (no sideloading unsigned builds on iPhone / iPad) and the 4 GB memory cap (Tauri v2 + WebView2 needs more than that on iOS). The Android APK works as a tablet fallback — same data model, same wikilink engine.
