Pulse gives Roblox creators a fast, private view of the public signals that matter. START FREE Search experiences by name or public Roblox link, inspect official artwork and basic live public metrics, track three experiences, follow three experiences, save three events, use widgets and Apple Watch, export your data, and jump to Roblox play links. No Pulse or Roblox login is required. CHOOSE PULSE PRO An optional monthly or yearly auto-renewable subscription expands tracking, follows and events to 50; unlocks the complete Daily Pulse, 7-day and 30-day history, comparison, alert and goal editing, private revenue editing and earnings scenarios, release impact, event feeds, and game-update notifications. FIND THE RIGHT EXPERIENCE Search by name and choose from a short list of relevant popular games, complete with artwork, creator, CCU, visits and approval. Direct links and IDs still work. PULSE PRO: LIVE PORTFOLIO See concurrent players across all your tracked experiences, then open any game for real saved samples across 1H, 24H, 7D or 30D, with low, average, peak, comparison, visits, favourites, approval and server capacity. PULSE PRO: KNOW WHAT NEEDS ATTENTION Daily Pulse turns saved public signals into a short priority list. Portfolio radar compares only the games you track, while milestones and the metadata log show what Pulse actually observed between refreshes. BUILT FOR GLANCES Put total portfolio CCU or one chosen experience on the Home Screen or Lock Screen. Pulse keeps the latest snapshot, movement and freshness close without making you dig through browser tabs. PULSE PRO: IMPACT AND SMART ALERTS Mark an update, event or campaign and compare real readings before and after it. Set local goals or alerts for CCU thresholds, percent movement, new peaks and stale data. Analytics rules are checked when Pulse refreshes. FOLLOW EVENTS AS A PLAYER Follow an experience, save an event/update schedule, import a creator-provided Pulse feed, and request a local reminder. During an in-app refresh, Pulse can also save a newer public Roblox update timestamp and deliver a per-game opt-in local alert. It never scrapes Roblox pages or claims background monitoring. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Add a public Roblox link, place ID or universe ID. Pulse never asks for your Roblox password or security cookie. Portfolio history stays on your device, and you can export a validated local JSON backup before moving or reinstalling. PULSE PRO: YOUR PRIVATE REVENUE LEDGER Enter one daily earned-Robux total or import a CSV you control. Review real recorded totals, averages, coverage and comparisons without filling missing days with zero. These values stay on-device and are always labelled as your data, not public or Roblox-verified revenue. PULSE PRO: PUBLIC EARNINGS WHAT-IF After Pulse observes public visit-counter movement, enter your own low and high earned-Robux-per-1,000-visits assumptions to model a 30-day range. Pulse ships without a default benchmark and never calls this private or verified revenue. Exact creator analytics remain gated on an official Roblox authorization flow; Pulse never asks users to paste API keys. Pulse is an independent companion and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Roblox Corporation. Roblox is a trademark of Roblox Corporation. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled. The paywall displays the localized duration and total price supplied by the App Store, together with Restore Purchases, Terms of Use, and Privacy Policy. If Pulse Pro ends, existing premium data remains readable and is never deleted; grandfathered games keep their public refreshes, premium automation stops, and already scheduled local reminders are not cancelled.

JSON Editor

Read full description

Json Editor: Smart Json turns a wall of JSON into something you can actually read on a phone. The same document, three linked views. Edit in any of them and the other two follow — the text is always the source of truth, so nothing drifts out of sync. EDITOR • Syntax highlighting that re-tokenizes only what you typed, so it stays fast • Line-number gutter, wrap and font size controls • A punctuation bar above the keyboard: braces, brackets, quotes, true, false, null, indent, undo and redo • Invalid JSON gets a plain-language banner naming the problem, its line and its column. Tap Go to jump the caret there, or Fix to repair comments, trailing commas, single quotes and unquoted keys automatically TREE • A collapsible outline with indent guides, type badges and child counts • Search across keys and values, filter by type • Edit any node in place: rename, change type, reorder, duplicate, add, delete GRAPH • A tidy node-link diagram, left-to-right or top-to-bottom • Pinch to zoom, pan, tap a node to expand it, fit to screen • Tap a node to open an editor docked right underneath it — the graph edits as well as it browses • Expand all, expand to a depth, or expand one subtree • Export the graph as PNG or SVG FIND WHAT YOU NEED • One find bar in every view. Text search in the editor with match case and wrap-around; structural search in the tree and graph with scope and type filters, stepping through hits • JSONPath: type an expression and watch it evaluate live, tinting its matches in the editor, the tree and the graph at once. A documented subset of RFC 9535, filter expressions included COMPARE • Diff the open document against a file, the clipboard or a URL • Structural, not textual — reformatting is not a change • Changed subtrees are tinted in the graph, and array elements are paired by identity when they have one CONVERT • Preview your document as YAML, CSV, TOML or XML, each with a plain statement of what that format cannot carry DOCUMENT ACTIONS • Beautify, minify, sort keys, auto-fix • Escape and unescape a JSON string literal • Copy in, copy out, share, and a statistics breakdown • Undo and redo everything, with one history per document shared by every view GETTING JSON IN • Open files from iCloud Drive and Files, with proper open, save and rename • Start a document from the clipboard or from a URL. URL requests are a GET with your own headers, and the last ten are remembered; header values are stored in the keychain, not in plain preferences • A share extension accepts JSON from any app • JSON5 files open too, normalized to JSON with a banner saying what that cost • Imports are named after where they came from, like mydomain.com-users.json BUILT RIGHT • Native SwiftUI for iPhone and iPad, with full keyboard support • Light or dark, or pinned to whichever you prefer • A hand-written parser that preserves key order and keeps number literals exactly as written — no precision lost on a round trip • Works entirely offline. No account, no sign-in, no analytics, no data leaves your device SMART JSON PRO The app is free, and every feature computes and shows you its result for free. Pro is for keeping that result: • Extract JSONPath matches to a new document, plus query history and saved queries • Text diff, jump between changes, copy as a patch, choose the array identity field • Save, share or open a conversion to YAML, CSV, TOML or XML --- Terms of Use: https://mygems.app/term Privacy Policy: https://mygems.app/privacy
