What’s inside
Four tabs. Everything you actually open.
No content calendar, no comment moderation, no social-listening noise. Pulse is the four views you’d open every Monday morning, and nothing else.

How it works
From sign-in to insight in three cuts.
The whole thing takes about ninety seconds the first time and zero seconds after that.
0:00
Sign in, once
Read-only YouTube scopes. Nothing you grant lets Pulse touch your channel — only read it.
0:32
Pulse pulls the data
Straight from Google's APIs to a cache on your machine. No middle server, because there isn't one.
1:04
Open the app
Four tabs, already populated. Read what matters, close it, go make the next video.
Local-first, no exceptions
The cache lives in your user directory, never in the cloud.
Read-only scopes
Pulse can request and read. It cannot post, edit, or delete anything.
No telemetry, no SDKs
No analytics, no crash reporter, no ad pixel. Just the YouTube API.
Wipe at any moment
Settings → Clear ALL local data. Everything, gone, instantly.
Privacy
Nothing leaves your computer.
Pulse calls Google’s YouTube APIs directly, under your own sign-in. There’s no Pulse server in between — because there isn’t a Pulse server.
0
Servers
We don't have any. There's nothing to breach.
2
Read-only scopes
youtube.readonly + yt-analytics.readonly. Pulse can look, not touch.
