How it works

How it works

  1. 01

    Install & browse

    Pulse starts counting the moment a site has focus. Idle time, background tabs, and incognito windows never count.

  2. 02

    Glance at the popup

    Today's total, your top sites, and any time-cap alerts. One click on the toolbar icon, refreshed live.

  3. 03

    Open Insights

    Trends, risers & fallers, weekday patterns, and records. Every number is computed locally from your own rollup.

The dashboard

Your browsing time,
in one dashboard.

The features

Control what counts,
and how it looks.

01

Time caps

Set a daily, weekly, or monthly limit per site. When you pass one, the popup and badge remind you, gently.

Time caps in Pulse
02

Never-track list

Some sites are nobody's business, including Pulse's. Anything on this list is ignored entirely, and you can delete what was already recorded.

03

Backup & restore

Your data is a JSON file you can export, restore on another machine, or wipe for good. No cloud involved.

04

Tracking controls

Pause tracking whenever you want, and tune how quickly idle time stops the clock.

05

Light & dark

Pulse follows your system theme out of the box, and you can switch manually from the popup or dashboard.

Pulse is a browsing behaviour and time tracker plugin for Chrome.

Your data is completely private. Pulse only records a site's domain, never the full URL, and you can opt any website out of tracking.
