Pulse is a haptic metronome you feel, not hear. Instead of a loud click, Pulse taps the beat directly on your wrist with crisp, precise haptics. Practice anywhere — on a quiet train, backstage, in a shared studio, or late at night — without making a sound or disturbing anyone around you. Just tap along to set your tempo, choose your time signature, and let Pulse keep perfect time, beat after beat. No clutter, no menus to dig through — just rhythm, exactly when you need it. Features • Feel every beat through silent, high-precision haptics • Tap tempo — set your BPM just by tapping the beat • Time signatures — accent the downbeat in 3/4, 4/4, 6/8 and more • Set any tempo (BPM) in seconds • Designed for Apple Watch — your metronome, right on your wrist • Clean, distraction-free interface built for focus • Works completely offline Built with privacy in mind. Pulse collects no personal data. No accounts, no sign-ups, no tracking, no ads. Everything happens on your device.

Download Pulse and feel the beat.
