### 2/5 — 12-hour time not working

*2026-07-20*

Great app but can’t use it. The System is stuck on 24hr clock. Wish the 12-hour clock worked

**Developer response:** Thanks for the kind words, and sorry it tripped you up! The 12-hour clock is there, it's just off by default. Open the Profile tab and turn off "24-hour format", and the whole app switches to AM/PM right away.
An update (2.2.4) is also on its way, already submitted to Apple, that brings 12 hour time to the widgets and Live Activities too, so everything matches. If the toggle doesn't sort it out for you, email us at Contact@PulseCalendar.app and we'll take care of it personally. If it works out, we'd love for you to give Pulse another look. Thanks for trying it!

Pulse is ready for iPhone Duo. Unfolded, your calendar goes big and your whole week fits on screen.

More useful notifications: one reminder per appointment, an alert when it's time to leave, “Your day” in the morning and “Tomorrow” in the evening. Habit reminders go quiet as soon as you're done.

In Month view, tapping a second date takes you there again.

Thanks for your feedback! This update fixes and polishes several things: the “at time of event” reminder is now saved and fires right when the event starts, the strikethrough no longer lingers on items you haven't finished, the weather now shows the moon phase, and marking an event as done is easier. Plus a cleaner header and various fixes.

### 2.3.0 — 2026-08-31

Focus, reimagined. One tap to get going: start a timer, pause the apps that distract you, and keep your progress on the Lock Screen. Your day, your priorities and your evening recap now sit in one clear place. Plus a new stars-and-stripes app icon in light and dark, and several fixes.
