What's inside
Pulse is narrow on purpose. Every surface is about how a person is doing — what they're working on, what they're celebrating, where they're stretched. Payroll, timesheets and project allocation belong in the tools built for them. We don't compete there.
Async morning standup in writing. Three lines per person, public team feed, manager-safe sentiment recap.
Start here if your standups are eating an hour a day and producing nothing readable.
Inside Status Log
Achievements, challenges, skill paths and kudos coins on one canvas. Score built from real activity, not from a manager filling in a form.
Start here if your last performance review took two weeks to write and was read by nobody.
Inside Growth
Peer recognition with reasons attached. Coins between teammates, confetti on send, leaderboards that reset weekly, monthly, yearly.
Adopt anytime — Kudos works even before the rest of Pulse lands.
Inside Kudos
Birthdays, work anniversaries and the kudos ticker on one continuous feed. Company memory rendered as a screen.
Drop Moments on the lobby screen and watch what happens.
Inside Moments
One tap a week — light / balanced / heavy / overloaded. Eight-week sparkline trend. Your manager sees the trend, not the individual answers.
Use Workload before you build any other HR ritual — the data alone is worth the rollout.
Inside Workload check-in
Personal record of the days off you took. No approval workflow, no pending state — you log it, it's logged. Balance for your own picture.
Drop the approval flow you've been carrying since the spreadsheet era.
Inside Leave journal
Anonymous weekly vibe heatmap. Shows only when at least three people answer. Embedded inside Status Log, not a survey to dread.
Use Pulse to replace the quarterly engagement survey nobody finishes.
Inside Pulse
Engagement, sentiment, kudos volume, growth trend, Pulse vibe over time. Reports about how people are doing — not about cost per hire or margin.
Open Insights once a week; it should take you 90 seconds to read.
Inside People Insights
No time tracking. No timesheet approval. No project codes. No client billing. No recruiting kanban. No onboarding workflow. No e-signature. No desk booking. No payroll run. No expense reports. No turnover %.
The shorter list is the product. Every one of those features makes sense in some HR tool — just not this one. Pulse runs alongside the tools you already have for the business half of HR; it covers the human half they don't.
If you need an HRIS, buy an HRIS. If you need payroll, buy payroll. If you want your team to feel seen, that's where we come in.
Self-host the open source on your own infra in 90 seconds, or pay us to run it. No demo gate. No enterprise tier with extra features. Export everything in a click — always.
