Mac menu bar app
Watch HTTP endpoints you own from the menu bar.
Pulse sits next to the clock and checks URLs you give it. Green is healthy, red is down. No account. Nothing is sent to us.
- Local only
- Keychain secrets
- Down after 3 fails

What you add
A name, a URL, and how often to check. Optional headers, JSON assertions, and a link to open when it fails. Test the request before you save.
What you see
The menu bar icon. Click it for the list; click a row for last status, latency, and the last 24 checks. Pause or snooze — the icon still tells the truth.
What it is not
Not a team dashboard, not a public status page, not a cloud poller. One Mac, one operator. Pulse only talks to the URLs you typed.
Assertion
$.status equals ok
ok
HTTP 200 is not enough if the body disagrees.

Keychain only — never in a banner or on disk.
Flap damping
Consecutive hard fails
Three in a row is Down. Check now runs one immediately.
