Pulse

Getting started is easy:

• Download Pulse from the App Store
• Open the app and enter your name
• Choose your initial mood
• Go to the Partner tab to send an invite
• Once your partner accepts, you'll see each other's status!

Make sure iCloud is enabled on your device for syncing to work.

To connect with your partner:

• Go to the Partner tab in Pulse
• Tap "Invite Partner"
• A share sheet will open - send the link via iMessage, email, or any messaging app
• Your partner taps the link on their iPhone/iPad
• They'll be prompted to accept the invitation
• Once accepted, you're connected!

Note: Both partners need iCloud enabled and an active Apple ID.

Updating your mood is simple:

• Open the app and tap on your mood card in the Dashboard
• Select from 9 expressive moods
• Optionally add a note or use a preset phrase
• Your partner will be notified of your update

You can also send a handwritten note by tapping the pencil icon!

Handwritten notes let you send personal, drawn messages:

• Tap the pencil icon on the Dashboard
• Draw or write with your finger or Apple Pencil
• Choose your pen color and style
• Tap "Send" to share with your partner
• Your partner sees it on their Dashboard and in their widget

It's a personal way to say "I love you" or share a quick doodle! 💌

Pause Mode lets you take a break without breaking the connection:

• Tap the menu icon (•••) on your status card
• Select "Pause Updates"
• Your partner will see "Status Paused" (neutral gray)
• They won't see your mood changes while paused
• Resume anytime to share updates again

Perfect for when you need alone time or are going through something difficult.

• Tap the + button in the top corner
