About Pulse
Safety should be quiet until silence matters.
Why Pulse exists
Most personal safety apps assume the worst. They track your location in real time, monitor your movements, and alert your contacts at the first sign of deviation. The result is a safety net that feels more like surveillance.
Pulse takes a different approach entirely.
We believe safety should be opt-in, minimal, and dignified. One daily check-in — a single tap to say “I’m okay” — is all it takes. If you miss it, Pulse sends you gentle reminders. Only after a configurable grace period, and only if you still haven’t responded, does Pulse notify your emergency contacts.
No location tracking. No background monitoring. No constant data collection. Just a quiet daily ritual that only speaks up when your silence does.
Our Principles
Built on conviction, not compromise
Privacy First
We don’t collect location data, biometrics, or browsing activity. Your check-in status is the only data point that matters.
Consent Always
Emergency contacts must explicitly accept their role. They can opt out at any time. Nobody is enrolled without knowing.
Minimal by Design
Every feature earns its place. We ship less so that what remains is thoughtful, reliable, and easy to trust.
Transparent Escalation
You can see exactly what happens at each stage. No hidden algorithms. No surprise notifications. You’re always in the loop.
Free for Everyone
Personal safety shouldn’t have a price tag. Pulse is free to use — no premium tiers hiding critical safety features behind a paywall.
The philosophy of quiet safety
We studied how people actually think about personal safety. The pattern was clear: most people don’t want to be monitored. They want to know that if something goes wrong, the right people will find out.
That distinction — between surveillance and a safety net — is everything. A parachute doesn’t weigh you down during the flight. It’s there for the moment you need it.
Pulse is a parachute. One small ritual that sits silently in your day, and only activates when your silence says something.
