What's New in Pulse
1.4.0
October 2, 2026
A calmer Pulse, rebuilt for iOS 26 with Liquid Glass. • NEW: Two taps to start. Pick Interval or Flow, set three simple controls, tap Start. No more crowded home screen. • NEW: One countdown ring around the big numbers. When an interval ends the whole screen floods to the next color with a firm haptic. • NEW: Liquid Glass controls everywhere: pause, skip and end float over your palette; the tab bar tucks away while you scroll. • NEW: Your saved timers and templates live in one Library, a tap away. • NEW: A redesigned unlock screen. Same prices: $3.99 once, or $9.99 to support. • FIXED: turning beeps or haptics off in Settings now takes effect in every timer. Pulse 1.4 needs iOS 26. Still no subscription, no ads, no analytics, no account.
