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.
