Everything You Need.
Nothing You Don't.

Engineered for precision, designed for beauty. Monitor your entire system without breaking your workflow.

Real-Time Telemetry
Live readouts for CPU and GPU temperatures, clock speeds, load percentages, TDP/power draw, and memory usage — updated as fast as every 0.5 seconds.
Non-Intrusive Overlay
A glassmorphic, always-on-top HUD that sits unobtrusively over your games and workspace. Drag it anywhere. Adjust opacity. Fully transparent to mouse input.
Compact HUD Mode
Switch to a distraction-free, text-only row layout designed for in-game scenarios. Inspired by MSI Afterburner, but cleaner and more minimal.
Ultra-Fast 0.5s Polling
Choose between 0.5s, 1s, 2s, or 5s polling intervals. Get near-instantaneous sensor updates without impacting system performance.
Color-Coded Warnings
Sensor tiles automatically shift from green to amber to red based on configurable thresholds. Know instantly when your hardware is running hot.
Fully Customizable
Pick which sensor tiles to display, choose overlay position, toggle drag mode, adjust opacity, and enable start-with-Windows. Your monitor, your rules.
How It Works

Up & Running
in 60 Seconds.

No configuration. No accounts. No learning curve. Install and start monitoring immediately.

01
Download & Install
Run the Windows installer. Pulse is fully self-contained — no .NET runtime required. Everything is bundled inside a single setup file.
02
Launch & Allow Access
Pulse requires administrator privileges to securely read low-level hardware sensors. Grant access once and Pulse handles the rest.
03
Monitor Everything
The overlay appears on your screen instantly. Toggle tiles, switch to compact mode, and customize everything from the elegant settings panel.
Built on Open Source

Standing on the
Shoulders of Giants.

Pulse is open source and built with transparent, auditable dependencies. Every component is credited and properly licensed.

LibreHardwareMonitor
MPL-2.0
The engine behind Pulse's sensor reading. An open-source fork of OpenHardwareMonitor that provides access to CPU, GPU, and memory hardware sensors via WMI and kernel interfaces.
CommunityToolkit.Mvvm
MIT
Microsoft's official MVVM architecture toolkit. Powers Pulse's clean, maintainable codebase with source-generated property change notifications and command bindings.
Newtonsoft.Json
MIT
The industry-standard JSON serialization library for .NET. Handles loading and saving of all user preferences, tile selections, and overlay configuration data.
Privacy First

Your Hardware.
Your Data.

Pulse runs entirely on your machine. We don't operate servers. We don't collect data. Period.

100% Offline Processing
All sensor readings are fetched locally via kernel-level APIs. No internet connection required. Ever.
Zero Data Collection
No analytics, no telemetry, no crash reports. Your sensor data stays in your RAM and nowhere else.
Open Source Transparency
Every line of code is on GitHub. Audit it, fork it, improve it. Full GPLv3 transparency.
