## What is AI Pulse?

AI Pulse is an essential cost tracker for developers using AI coding tools. Monitor your spending on Anthropic, DeepSeek, Zhipu, and other AI APIs in real time through an elegant dashboard, and sync across macOS, iOS, and watchOS via CloudKit.

With AI Pulse, you can:

- Track token usage and API costs by project or session
- View detailed breakdowns by model, tool, or time period
- Monitor subscription costs and manage multiple AI services
- Analyze trends and optimize spending with interactive dashboards
- Enjoy a privacy-first design—your data stays only on your devices and iCloud account

Designed for developers, AI Pulse helps you control your budget without leaving your workflow. Whether you're prototyping, building, or running production loads, you'll always know the real cost of your AI usage.

Universal purchase: buy once and use on macOS and iOS, with watchOS support. If you already own one version, download the others for free on the App Store with the same Apple ID.


## Version history (last 5 releases)

Fixed dashboard chart rendering and snapshot data issues, improving stability.

- Optimized switching and scrolling smoothness for Today, Week, and 30-day views
- Charts now restart safely by time range, avoiding animations between unrelated snapshots
- Kept snapshots independent per time range to prevent cross-range state pollution
- Suppressed redundant refreshes, recording balance snapshots only when spending changes
- Added usage event indexing to reduce 30-day snapshot latency
- Cached Dock pulse frames to reduce duplicate calculations during dashboard rendering

### 1.2.7 — 2026-09-01

Fixed chart unresponsiveness/crashes with abnormal data, and added layered defensive hardening to data pipelines and macOS/iOS/watchOS/Widget for stability and data accuracy.

### 1.2.6 — 2026-08-17

- More accurate spend-surge and balance-drop alerts driven by the balance API
- watchOS now shows the app/CloudKit version and aligns the corner labels

### 1.2.5 — 2026-08-14

• Spend-surge & balance-drop alerts — receive time-sensitive notifications when spending accelerates or a balance drops sharply
• Tool detail sheet — tap any tool to see a session-level overview with profile cards (turns, context occupancy, cache ratio, compaction count)
• App & CloudKit version display — dashboard footer shows the software version alongside the CloudKit payload version

### 1.2.4 — 2026-08-07

• iCloud sync version compatibility — if data was written by an older macOS build, AI Pulse now shows a clear prompt to update macOS or iOS instead of silently showing no data
