Fix it

Fixes that ask first.

Each one says what it will change, and files only ever go to the Trash.

Clean Up, with proof.

Before a render bundle is selected, Pulse checks every copied file is still in your project.

Questions

Questions, answered.

Will it slow my Mac down?

No. Pulse samples less when its window is closed, runs at background priority, and charts don’t animate between samples.

Which Macs does it run on?

macOS 14.2 or later, on Apple silicon and Intel. Fan control and the charge limit depend on what your Mac allows.

Does it read my prompts or code?

No. From the agents’ logs it reads token counts, models, times and folders; messages and code are skipped unread.

Does it send anything anywhere?

Not unless you turn something on. There is no analytics or crash reporting; the list is under Privacy above.

Can it quit apps or delete files by itself?

Never. Every quit, disable and clean-up asks first, and files only ever go to the Trash.

Is it a subscription?

No: $9 once, and it’s yours. The licence keeps working offline for up to 30 days between checks.
