WhatPulse 7.0 beta 4 is available. This one adds league standings to the Overview page, with your division, rank, zone, round timer, and hidden-score state when a round is near the end. Also included: a fix for inflated stats after deleting a profile, more accurate uptime totals, and a long list o

38 points. That's all that decided a promotion in this week's WhatPulse Leagues. 😬 cxcv finished 38 PS ahead of THaque. to grab the final promotion spot in Bronze Group 152. Last week's closest promotion was decided by 172 points. Apparently that wasn't close enough. New all-time record. 🏆

A timer can tell you how long your computer was on. It can’t tell focused work from tab parking. Keys, clicks, app activity, uptime, and network usage can. That’s why we care about effort, not just time. Agree, or want to fight about it?

Some apps look busy while doing almost nothing. Split app time into focus time and active time, and you’ll see what you actually used vs what just sat open in the background. WhatPulse makes that gap visible.

WhatPulse @whatpulse.org · 21/09/2026
If your stats look cursed, check your buckets first. Work, side project, personal stuff: give each one its own tracking profile. When your day switches lanes, switch profiles too. In WhatPulse, your app breakdowns stay readable instead of mashed together.

WhatPulse @whatpulse.org · 20/09/2026
One big network total tells you how much. Not what happened. The useful part is the breakdown: protocol and port. That’s where you spot weird spikes, patterns, or what app class actually moved the traffic. WhatPulse shows both.
000
WhatPulse @whatpulse.org · 20/09/2026
Want the quick numbers before you open the full app? Start with the tray popup. You’ll see today, this week, and your unpulsed totals at a glance, then decide if you want to dig deeper in WhatPulse. Small check. Useful numbers.

WhatPulse @whatpulse.org · 19/09/2026
Your network total can hide the real story. If Wi-Fi and Ethernet don't match, per-interface download and upload stats show which connection is actually doing the work. WhatPulse splits it out so you can compare instead of guess.

WhatPulse @whatpulse.org · 19/09/2026
Private by default, or it’s not useful. Early on, we built controls that let you decide what gets counted: exclude apps, filter sensitive window titles, or pause tracking anytime. Your stats should feel useful, not intrusive.

WhatPulse @whatpulse.org · 18/09/2026
Your busiest hour might be mostly vibes. Compare one time block across app time, keystrokes, clicks, and network activity. High time, low input? You were present. All four moving? You were doing the work. That’s what time alone misses.
000
WhatPulse @whatpulse.org · 18/09/2026
Keep work and chaos in separate lanes. You can now switch profiles right from the menu bar, so your work, gaming, and side project stats stay in their own lanes. Give it a spin in WhatPulse and check your setup.

Busy all day, but can't explain why? What gives you the fastest first clue: keyboard heatmap, mouse heatmap, or app breakdown? Reply with one: keyboard / mouse / apps

WhatPulse @whatpulse.org · 17/09/2026
Uptime can look great while your day felt chopped to pieces. That’s the problem with one number. Reboot history adds the missing context: how often your machine actually got interrupted. So in WhatPulse, we show both. Less guessing, better signal.
000
WhatPulse @whatpulse.org · 16/09/2026
Time only tells you someone was there. Open Applications view to compare what actually happened in each app: keys, clicks, scrolls, distance, and window titles. Time shows presence. Input shows effort. WhatPulse shows both, so you're not guessing.

One bandwidth total hides the real story. Split it by protocol and port type, and you can spot what's actually going on: download, upload, total traffic by type, one app, one service, or mystery bytes. That's the view we built into WhatPulse.

*172 points* That's all that separated promotion from staying in Bronze in the closest finish of the first WhatPulse Leagues round Imckay4 finished with 221,049 points, just ahead of hattawit.c with 220,877 Promotion came down to a difference you could erase in a few minutes Every point counts 😅

Which stat explains your day fastest? ⌨️ keyboard activity 🖱️ mouse activity 📱 app usage ⏱️ uptime 🌐 network traffic No wrong answer. We’re curious which number you check first before the rest in WhatPulse.

WhatPulse @whatpulse.org · 01/09/2026
Your day doesn’t stay in one lane. Your stats shouldn’t either. Switch profiles from the menu bar when you jump from work to personal to project mode, and keep your numbers tied to the context you’re actually in. A little nerdy, very useful.

WhatPulse @whatpulse.org · 31/08/2026
Time is a weak productivity stat. After your next work block, check these 3 together: keystrokes + clicks top app network total That gives you effort, context, and what’s quietly eating bandwidth. That’s exactly why we built WhatPulse.

WhatPulse @whatpulse.org · 31/08/2026
One network spike, two possible suspects. Split your usage by interface to see whether Wi-Fi or Ethernet actually carried the load. Great for sanity checks, setup tweaks, and figuring out where that spike really came from in WhatPulse.

WhatPulse @whatpulse.org · 30/08/2026
Want the fastest read on your day? Open the tray popup in WhatPulse. You’ll see today, this week, and unpulsed totals at a glance. Quick nerd check before the next task: keys, clicks, words, uptime, download, upload. Small habit. Useful every time.

WhatPulse @whatpulse.org · 30/08/2026
Bandwidth spikes make the total lie. What you need is the shape of the traffic: download vs upload in real time, with current, average, and max rates side by side. That’s what WhatPulse shows. Your data, with the context that makes it useful.
000
WhatPulse @whatpulse.org · 29/08/2026
An hour can look productive and still be tab pinball. Try this after a work block: compare the time with your keystrokes and mouse clicks. Same 60 minutes, very different story. That’s the idea behind WhatPulse. Time matters. Effort tells the truth.
000
WhatPulse @whatpulse.org · 29/08/2026
Which stat tells you the truth about your day first? Keys. Clicks. Apps. Uptime. Bandwidth. No wrong answer. Each one explains a different kind of “where did my day go?” Curious which one you check first in WhatPulse.
000
WhatPulse @whatpulse.org · 28/08/2026
Some things should never count toward your stats. That’s why you can exclude apps, filter window titles, and skip websites or interfaces you don’t want counted. Privacy controls weren’t bolted on later. They’re built into how WhatPulse works.
000
WhatPulse @whatpulse.org · 28/08/2026
Your day doesn’t stay in one mode. Your tracking shouldn’t either. Switch tracking profiles right from the menu bar when work turns into gaming, coding, studying, or whatever’s next. Try it in WhatPulse.

WhatPulse @whatpulse.org · 28/08/2026
Mouse stats can look fine and still tell you nothing. Check clicks and pointer distance together. High clicks + low distance = focused work. High distance + low clicks = lots of hunting. That’s the kind of pattern we help you spot in WhatPulse.
000
WhatPulse @whatpulse.org · 28/08/2026
3 hours tells you less than you think. Two apps can both show 3h and mean totally different work. Compare focus time to active time, and the picture gets sharper fast: one kept your attention, one just sat open. That’s why we look past time totals. Agree?
000
WhatPulse @whatpulse.org · 28/08/2026
Your keyboard has a heatmap. Not just “you typed a lot.” Actual key-by-key usage, so you can see which parts of your board do the work and which keys barely get touched. That’s the difference between time and effort. WhatPulse makes it visible.
000
WhatPulse @whatpulse.org · 28/08/2026
Slow internet isn't the only reason to care about network stats. Myth: they only matter when things lag. Reality: bandwidth is the clue. Split it by protocol, interface, country, and app, and you can see where it actually went. That's the nerdy useful bit. WhatPulse shows the split.
000
WhatPulse @whatpulse.org · 24/08/2026
One stat tells you the truth about your computer day. Which one is it? Keys. Clicks. App activity. Network usage. Uptime. Most stats setups have a first signal you trust before the rest. For us, it’s app activity. What’s yours?
000
WhatPulse @whatpulse.org · 24/08/2026
Your whole setup, in one screen. On macOS light mode, the overview puts it all in one place: keyboard activity mouse clicks and distance uploads and downloads uptime, hardware details, and date range controls Then check your own stats in WhatPulse.

WhatPulse @whatpulse.org · 24/08/2026
this one is for the design purists: typetest.io is now available in light mode, and the dark mode has gotten some minor updates to make it look better ✨

WhatPulse @whatpulse.org · 24/08/2026
1/2 Network stats are most useful after the slowdown. Myth: they only matter when things feel slow. Reality: the breakdown is the useful part. By app, country, interface, or protocol, you can see what actually used the bandwidth, even after the spike is gone. Less guessing.

WhatPulse @whatpulse.org · 24/08/2026
Privacy shouldn't cost you your stats. You can keep the bigger picture without giving up more than you want. Exclude apps, filter window titles, and still see your activity stats. Your stats. Your control.
000
WhatPulse @whatpulse.org · 23/08/2026
Two hours can look identical and mean totally different work. That’s why time alone isn’t enough. Compare active time with focus time by app, and the pattern gets a lot clearer. One app was mostly motion. Another is where the real work happened. That’s our take. Agree?
000
WhatPulse @whatpulse.org · 23/08/2026
Stop treating your whole day like one blob. If your day has modes, your tracking should too. Switch profiles from the menu bar popup when your context changes: work, side project, admin, whatever fits. Small habit, cleaner stats. Future you will appreciate it.

WhatPulse @whatpulse.org · 23/08/2026
Your shortcuts have a pattern. Raw typing tells you volume. Shortcut stats show habits. You can see which workflows you repeat most, and which ones you're still doing the long way, inside WhatPulse. A little nerdy, very useful.
