Pulse is a network toolbox for iPhone and iPad, built for the people who get asked why the network is slow. It measures a network and tells you what the numbers mean — and opens a terminal on the machine at the other end. PULSE — CONTINUOUS PATH MONITORING Re-walks the path to a host every few seconds and keeps a window per hop, so a router losing one packet in twenty becomes visible. It tells a hop dropping your traffic from one merely rate-limiting its own replies; most tools paint both red. HEALTH CHECK Eight checks and a plain verdict in about ten seconds — the link, this device's address, the router, the neighbours, DNS, the internet, your public address, any VPN — naming the earliest failure. SERVICES Sixteen everyday services — video calls, files, sign-in and mail, remote desktop — checked against their real endpoints in about fifteen seconds, with a plain verdict. DEVICES Everything else on this network, named by what each device advertises, with an opt-in port check. WEB CHECK (PULSE PRO) Load any page the way a browser does and see where the time went: redirects, DNS, connect, TLS, the server's wait, the download, and everything the page pulled in, by site. A picture shows whether you reached the site or a Wi-Fi login or block page. ON THE LOCK SCREEN AND HOME SCREEN A running Pulse is a Live Activity on the Lock Screen, in the Dynamic Island and on your Apple Watch, and it alerts you when the path turns bad. A widget answers "is this network OK right now?", refreshed in the background. SIRI, SHORTCUTS AND CONTROL CENTER Ask Siri whether the network is OK, ping your router, check a certificate or your public address — without opening the app. Run any of it from Shortcuts, an automation or the Action button, or tap Check network in Control Center and get the verdict as a notification. AI DIAGNOSIS A reading of any run, written for a ticket: what is wrong, where, why, and what to try next. You are asked before anything is sent, and told exactly what goes. TERMINAL SSH and telnet, with passwords and keys in the Keychain. Open one straight from a traceroute hop or a device on your network. Every command you ran, per host, searchable, with anything irreversible marked. SFTP in two panes. AND THE REST Certificates (and whether the server sent its intermediates), ping with RFC 3550 jitter, traceroute over ICMP, UDP or TCP, path MTU, DNS, WHOIS over RDAP or port 43, interfaces, routes, VPN and proxy state. EVERY RUN IS KEPT And judged again, against today's thresholds, each time you open it. Pin any tool to one interface to measure Wi-Fi and cellular separately. PULSE PRO Every network test is free, and so are the terminal, the Live Activity, the widget and seven days of history. Pro adds the AI diagnosis, Web check, certificate alerts, each service's endpoints and your organisation's own, device names that stick and what is new on your network, a link test between your own devices, two interfaces or IPv4 and IPv6 side by side, up to six Pulses at once, session comparison, picture and CSV export, full history synced through your own iCloud, sessions that stay open, command history and suggestions, file transfer, and a terminal on any hop or neighbour. Pulse Pro is an auto-renewing subscription, monthly or yearly. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase and renews unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage it in Settings.

Your runs stay on this device, and sync through your own iCloud — which the developer cannot read — only if you turn that on. Nothing you type in the terminal reaches the developer or an AI diagnosis. Only the AI diagnosis sends anything to a service the developer runs, and only when you ask.
