CorePulse shows your iPhone as a live system console. Real readings. A cyber HUD. Nothing invented. Open the app and the screen comes online: uptime ticking every second, cores lit by count, battery and thermal state drawn as instruments. It is your phone, presented like a diagnostic terminal. MONITOR See what iOS actually reports. • Device model, model identifier, and iOS version • Active processor cores, shown as a count • Physical memory • Storage used, free, and total • Battery level and charging state • Thermal state: Nominal, Fair, Serious, or Critical • System uptime, low power mode, and the current link type CorePulse does not invent CPU load, system memory use, or temperature. If a value cannot be read, it stays unavailable. THREE VIEWS DATA is the full readout. CONSOLE is a full-screen instrument, built around live uptime. FIELD is a lamp display. Its color follows the thermal state, and one row shows how many cores are active. The other lamps are decoration, and they are labeled as such. SESSIONS Start a session before a game, a charge, a video, or anything else. End it when you come back. CorePulse compares the two readings: duration, battery, thermal state, storage, and uptime. History stays on this iPhone. WIDGETS Place a Small or Medium widget on the Home Screen. Each one shows battery, thermal state, free storage, and active cores, with the time of the last update. Widgets refresh on a schedule. They are not a live feed. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No cloud. No tracking. No upload of device data. Everything stays on this device.
