Pulse vs SaveBack

Your pulse, your day, your journal. Pulse is intentionally kept lean: no subscription, no cluttered interface — just you, a moment, and an honest read on how you're actually doing. Free and open source. HOW IT WORKS • Capture moments: a short thought, a rating from −2 (bad) to +2 (good), optional tags and location. Done in seconds. • Reflect on your day: one sentence of forecast in the morning, the summary in the evening — with your own metrics like sleep, deep work, exercise, or family time. Stoic reflection questions get you started. • Discover patterns: daily, weekly, and monthly views show you what lifts you up — and what doesn't. Filter by a single tag to look at one area of your life on its own. Good days have reasons. • AI coach: on request, Apple Intelligence analyzes your entries and surfaces insights about your patterns — running entirely on your iPhone, no cloud. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS Everything lives on your iPhone and in your private iCloud. No tracking, no ads, no accounts. The full source code is public on GitHub. Export to JSON anytime. WHO IS PULSE FOR? For everyone who has failed at classic journaling: no long entries, no pressure, no streak guilt. A micro-journal that fits your life — not the other way around. Questions or ideas? Pulse is actively developed — your feedback shapes the roadmap.

SaveBack turns saved YouTube links into repeatable daily routines — without turning the app into another feed to scroll. Open the app, pick a starter routine or build your own, and start. SaveBack keeps your routine ready on Home so you can begin without hunting for the right video each time. CORE FEATURES Saved routines — build a routine from YouTube links you paste or share into the app, or pick from a curated starter set organised by focus area: neck, shoulders, upper back, hips, lower back, yoga, stretching, and more. Home — start, continue, or review your saved routines in one tap. Player — follow each exercise in order and advance at your own pace. Reminders — optional local notifications to keep your routine on schedule. No account required. iOS Share Extension — send YouTube links directly into SaveBack from the YouTube app or browser. Clipboard intake — paste a YouTube link while the app is open and add it without extra steps. LOCAL-FIRST. NO ACCOUNT REQUIRED. SaveBack stores your routines on device. There is no SaveBack account, no backend sync, and no analytics SDK. YouTube links you add may load metadata and thumbnails directly from YouTube; YouTube's own policies apply to that traffic. SaveBack is a routine utility. It is not a medical app and does not provide medical diagnosis or treatment. Consult a qualified professional before starting any exercise program.
