Getting started
How do I get Pulse?
Download it from the button at the top of this page. It's one file, no installer needed. Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit).
Why do I need a key? Is Pulse paid?
Pulse is in closed beta. We're letting a small group of testers in with keys while we keep improving it before the public launch. Tester keys aren't sold: spots are limited and handed out through giveaways in our Discord.
How do I get a license key?
During the closed beta, tester keys are limited and come from giveaways in our Discord. Join and turn on notifications so you don't miss one.
Windows says "Windows protected your PC". Is that normal?
Yes. It shows up for new apps that aren't code-signed yet. Click More info → Run anyway.
My antivirus flags Pulse. Is it a virus?
No. Pulse simulates key presses, which some antivirus apps flag on principle. It's a false positive. Only download Pulse from this website.
Using Pulse
My macros don't do anything. What's wrong?
Check 3 things: the ENABLE MACROS switch on the Dashboard is on (if it says PAUSED, hit Resume), the macro's own switch is on, and it has an activation key.
What's the difference between Hold, Toggle and Press Once?
Hold runs while you hold the key. Toggle starts on one press and stops on the next. Press Once plays the steps one time per press.
What do "Hold" and "Delay" mean on a step?
Hold is how long the key stays pressed (0 = a quick tap). Delay (the ↓ between steps) is how long Pulse waits before the next step. Both are in milliseconds.
How do I stop every macro instantly?
Press the emergency stop key: F8 by default (you can change it in Settings). It stops everything and releases every held key.
My game misses some of my key presses.
Many games check keys once per frame. Turn on Settings → Reliable taps, or give the step a small Hold like 10–20 ms.
Does low FPS or high ping mess up my macros?
Pulse keeps its own timing no matter your FPS or ping. But a game only reads keys once per frame, so at low FPS very short taps can be missed: give steps a small Hold (a bit longer than one frame, e.g. 35 ms at 30 FPS). Ping only delays how fast the game's server reacts. No macro can speed that up.
How fast can Pulse go?
Macros run up to 200 actions per second by default, with timing accurate to hundredths of a millisecond. That's faster than almost every game reads input. Turn on Turbo mode (Settings → Performance) for up to 1,000 per second. The Auto Clicker goes up to 1,000 clicks per second, or 100,000 with Turbo. Try Settings → Test engine to see your PC's precision.
How do I use the auto clicker?
Open Auto Clicker in the sidebar and flip the on/off switch at the top (it's off until you turn it on). Set your speed, then press F6 anywhere to start and stop (or hit START, which gives you 3 seconds to move your mouse). Switch to Hold mode to click only while the key is held.
Why doesn't my game count every click at 100,000 CPS?
Pulse really sends that many, and the live counter shows it. But most games read input once per frame (60–240 times a second), and most sites handle a few thousand clicks per second at most. Anything past that gets merged or dropped. For games, 20–100 CPS is usually the sweet spot.
Can I share my macros?
Yes. Select a macro → Share, then Copy share code or Save as file. Your friend clicks Import (paste the code or Open file…) and sees a preview before importing. Paste a code in our Discord and the bot shows what it does, too.
The on-screen overlay doesn't show in my game.
Turn it on in Settings → Overlay. It works in windowed and borderless fullscreen. Games in exclusive fullscreen draw over everything, so switch the game to borderless.
Does Pulse work in every game?
It works with any Windows app. Some games don't allow macros though, so check the rules of the game you play. You're responsible for how you use it.
Account and keys
I forgot my password.
Go to Forgot password, enter your account's email and follow the link we send you. Check your spam folder too. Didn't add an email? Open a ticket in our Discord and we'll help you get back in.
Are keys lifetime?
Most keys are lifetime. Some (like giveaway trials) last a number of days. Got a new key while you already have an account? Open Pulse → Account → Redeem a key.
My account expired. What now?
Get a new key, then on the login screen type your username + password and use Reactivate with this key.
It says my key was already used.
Every key works exactly once. If you didn't use it yourself, open a ticket in the Discord.
Can I use my account on another PC?
Accounts are locked to the PC they were created on. Got a new PC? Open a ticket in the Discord and we'll move it.
Updates, privacy and support
How do updates work?
Automatically. Pulse checks for updates every time it starts and installs them in seconds. See every change on the changelog.
Does Pulse need internet?
For logging in, yes. If your internet drops while playing, Pulse keeps working for a while. Check status if you think the servers are down.
What data does Pulse collect?
Only your username, your email if you add one (just for password resets) and a secured version of your password. Pulse never reads other programs, and we never sell data.
What do supporters get? Can I cancel?
Supporters get a badge, a glowing avatar, 5 exclusive themes, a spot on the Supporters wall and a Discord role. Cancel anytime on Ko-fi; perks last until the end of your paid month.
How do I report a bug or get help?
Open a ticket in our Discord with the ticket panel. Staff will help you privately.
