You have a digital self. Meet it. Your name, your number, your address — copied in seconds, and used for identity theft. The one thing a thief can't copy is you, carrying your phone through a real day. Pulse notices that, and turns it into proof. No password to phish. Nothing about you for sale. Just your phone, and you. OPEN IT FOR THE DAY, NOT THE ALARM The weather, checked twice. Your iPhone has a barometer in it. Pulse reads the pressure where you're standing, pulls the report from the reference station miles away, and sets them side by side — two instruments on the same question. Usually they agree. Sometimes they don't, and that's the interesting part. Your age, to the minute. Scan your passport and Pulse counts the days since your birth date, then lays out the ladder — years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes. Each row says whether it was counted, divided or multiplied — a derived figure shouldn't sit beside a measured one pretending otherwise. The sun at your birth. From that same date: your calendar star sign, and the sign the sun was actually in against the stars. The two were fixed together and have slid apart ever since, about fifty arcseconds a year. Pulse shows you by how much. What's coming. Your next birthday. Your ten-thousandth day. The sky today. What daylight is left. When golden hour starts and last light falls. The moon's phase and when it comes full. What day of the year this is, out of how many. Where your day went. The places you passed through, how you moved, and the ordinary things around you — a TV, a speaker — that make a room recognizably yours. A diary you'll actually keep. Add a moment when something matters: your words, a mood, a photo. The time and place are sealed with it, on this iPhone. Tap any card and it shows its work — the readings underneath, not a summary. Those same readings quietly add up to something else: evidence you were here, living an ordinary day. And at the foot of every day, a line worth keeping: one of a hundred and forty, picked to suit the mood you logged. The same line all day. A new one tomorrow. THAT RECORD IS ALSO YOUR PROOF Knows you're really there. Pulse reads the ordinary signs that you're the one holding your phone — against identity fraud, impersonation and account takeover. The longer you carry it, the stronger that proof gets. Watches your number (US carriers, optional). A carrier check and SIM swap monitor, with a warning the moment something changes — a SIM swap is the first move in most account takeovers. Is ready when it counts. Add the numbers you really call — bank, credit union, SSA. Pulse checks who a number belongs to before calling it verified, asks for your face before it dials, and keeps its own record from your side. Nothing to install on theirs. Opens with your face. Face ID from the first open, with your passcode as backup. Stolen data is a snapshot anyone can hold. Your life is a story only you can live. Pulse tells them apart. A privacy-first identity tool — not a credit bureau, credit repair, financial advice, or a VPN. YOU HOLD THE KEYS Your record lives on your phone, in encrypted storage. Your passport and license stay on this iPhone. One exception, and you make it yourself: if you add your passport photo to something you send, that photo travels with it and is deleted when the share expires an hour later. Nothing else about your documents is ever uploaded. What leaves is small, signed, and logged in the app for you to read. Delete it and it's gone from your phone. What sits on our side is a device credential — proof that a genuine copy of Pulse is running, with no name, number or email attached to it — and it goes when you do. No tracking, no ads, no analytics, no data sold. When you prove who you are — a scanned QR code, a verified call — you share exactly one thing: it's you, here, on this device. Nothing about your day. A call adds where you're standing, shown to you first. That is your call, every time.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Kenshiki Pulse at 5.0 against Starry Internet's 4.4. Starry Internet's advantage is ratings volume (3.3K vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Kenshiki Pulse holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Starry Internet has 3.3K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
