## What is Pulse MQTT?

Pulse MQTT is a fast, native client for reading and monitoring MQTT brokers on iPhone and iPad — built for makers, smart-home tinkerers and IoT developers.

CONNECT TO ANY BROKER
• Plain, TLS and WebSocket connections
• Username/password auth and self-signed certificates
• Save multiple broker profiles; passwords kept in the Keychain
• Or tap "Try a public test broker" to start in seconds

SEE EVERYTHING LIVE
• Real-time message feed with pause, filter and retained-only view
• Hierarchical topic tree that stays smooth even with thousands of topics
• Full message detail: QoS, retained flag, size and timestamp

UNDERSTAND YOUR DATA
• Automatic decoding: pretty-printed JSON, epoch timestamps turned into dates, hex and base64 decoded, and long arrays summarised instead of endless zeros
• Per-topic charts for numeric and JSON fields — pick any field to plot
• Star topics to keep a longer history that survives app restarts
• Export a topic's history as CSV or JSON

OPTIONAL AI INSIGHTS
• "Explain with AI" describes what a device and its payload likely mean
• Optional and off by default — bring your own Anthropic API key
• Everything else works fully without it

Pulse MQTT has no accounts, no analytics and no tracking. Your broker traffic stays between your device and your broker.
