Developers lose 40 minutes a day waiting on AI agents. Pulser lives in your menubar and pings you the moment your agent needs input, so you ship instead of stare. For developers running Claude Code, Aider, and other AI coding agents. Download the DMG. Drag to Applications. Pulser appears in your menubar. Switch tabs, review a PR, write docs. Pulser monitors your terminal agents silently. A native Mac notification tells you exactly which agent needs you and where. Claude Code gets real-time notifications via hooks. Other agents are detected through process monitoring — if it's running in your terminal, Pulser will catch it. "I was losing 40+ minutes a day just checking if my agents were…from getpulser.app

I run a few Claude Code sessions in parallel and kept cmd-tabbing around just to find out one of them had been sitting on a permission prompt for ten minutes. There's a hardware gadget I liked (called SidePulse.io) so before waiting to get my shipment I built the software version instead :D I hope you like it and find it useful as I do!

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years.

Hello my name is Ben Ward for the past 3 years I have been remastering the financial game Wall Street Raider created by Michael Jenkins originally on DOS in 1986.
